Pat had an opportunity to start a new chapter in life and he took it.  He moved down to Mississippi, bought himself a house, a cute little shop and is living the slower pace of Southern life and says he loves the weather.  If he could have, he would have said goodbye, but in typical Pat fashion, when he set his sights on a goal, he made it happen quickly and efficiently. 

I (Aimee) owe my success in this profession to Pat and Liah.  They took me in as a student and opened their arms wide to me at a time in life when I truly needed direction.  I grew under their mentorship and was given the honor of taking over what they had created.  I have traditional groomer training, with a constantly evolving perspective on grooming trends and methods.  Some things have changed a little in our industry and that’s a good thing!  

At the Grooming Lodge, we don’t just groom your dog, we create an experience for your pet.  We understand the needs of dogs, beyond the specifics of a haircut.  That is not to say your dog won’t look great, of course they will but we also focus on their overall well being.  Does your dog have itchy skin?  We will deep-condition at no extra cost to help improve the balance of their skin.  Does your dog shake and dread the groomer?  We will offer encouragement and patience for pets that are nervous.  We take the time to get to know what your pet needs to address both their physical and mental wellbeing.
