Hello
friends; It is my pleasure to share with you my animal
experiences and
talents by way of my grooming profession. I have been grooming
dogs, cats and horses for 30 years now and still find pleasure and amusement
every day with these wonderful creatures.
I call
myself a "Cat Whisperer" because I do specialize in grooming and handling
cats. They are especially good for me and settle for a bath or
haircut quite willingly, even when it is not their idea. I convince
them that they are safe with me
and that this will only be for a little
while. I guarantee to them that they will go home feeling clean,
comfortable and better than before.
Of course I offer dogs the
same deal, but cats need a little more coaxing and confidence to convince them that this procedure is safe.
Now, as far as horses go, I have taken extensive studies to learn the art
of trimming hooves and as a "Hoofcare
Specialist" I can help a horse
transition from shoes to natural barefootedness comfortably. Horses
were born to run and be free (and that includes free of iron on their
hooves). I have the most success with trimming horses that are
living a natural lifestyle -- meaning they are turned out 24/7 with other
horse buddies together. I am also in the process of learning
myofacial release on horses and as I progress, will share my knowledge
with you and your horses. This will involve the human/horse owner as
well.
Along the path of life I am continually learning and
improving my skills. Recently my dog handling has taken a wonderful turn
upwards. I have been studying the "Dog Whisperer" Cesar Millan.
His training involves dog psychology instead of the traditional school of dog
training. His method is so much in alignment with the horse training that
I have been doing for many years now. To understand behavior of an animal
is a
must
when you have a true desire to help and change unwanted behavior. Please visit Cesar's web site at
www.dogpsychologycenter.com and
learn more.
So that's it in nutshell, or
should I say "bathtub."
My intro is over and details will expand on this web
site -- what are you waiting for: go explore, the world awaits your paw
prints (or hoof)!!!
