In her own words.

Hey y'all!
I'm Briana, a gentle, patient, certified groomer dedicated to creating a calm, stress-free experience for every dog. I take the time to understand each pet's personality and comfort level, using low-stress techniques to help them feel safe and relaxed.
There are no tiny crates at my salon. Instead, each dog gets a spacious play kennel to fully relax and get cozy.
I love helping dogs look and feel their best, and I can't wait to care for your furry friend!
- She learns the dog first
- Briana takes the time to understand each pet's personality and comfort level before the groom begins, so the visit fits the dog and never the other way round.
- Low-stress, start to finish
- Gentle, positive handling that helps a dog feel safe and relaxed, with breaks and reassurance for the ones who need extra support.
- A kennel with room in it
- No tiny crates. Each dog gets a spacious play kennel to fully relax and get cozy between steps of the groom.
