"I am looking to provide a safe environment for pets to be groomed in. I focus on how they are feeling and work to make them feel as safe as possible. If there is any anxiety, I take the extra time, to assure them that I’m doing my best not to hurt them. I love seeing a dog running through the door to greet me before the grooming procedure, knowing that nothing bad is going to happen." - Anne Behnke

Testimonials
"Paxton" and his brothers
"We have been taking Nanuk and Yogi-Bear to Anne for over four years. I have found her to be very professional as a dog groomer, as well as an exceptional animal lover. She is officially known as the "dog whisperer." When I take Yogi-Bear to see her, his tail is always wagging and he has lots of kisses to give her. Anne always does a great job and I would absolutely recommend her if you are looking for a groomer. Your doggy will thank you." - Pam
"We are so thankful for you! We have been told in the past by other groomers to not bring Paxton back. He must like your aura and he obviously trusts you. Thank you again for being so good with our three Shih Tzus and always making them look pretty." - Blanka
"I have always found that Anne grooms my dog conscientiously, professionally, and kindly. Guinness loves her! Anne demonstrates a willingness to be helpful and go the extra mile to help out, I appreciate that immensely." - Vivian
"I just wanted to write you a note and let you know how GREAT a job you did grooming our Sheltie, Fysti. She looks beautiful. We really appreciate the time you took with her undercoat and shaping. Her coat feels great and I can tell how much happier she is with all the dead weight off. We will certainly be back and have already recommended you to a number of our friends. We are looking forward to bringing our Springer to you when he's due for a groom. Thanks again" -Lori & Max
