It’s that time again… Fido needs a haircut. You’re dreading it. Your pet is dreading it. The panting, the crying, the shaking. He’s anxious to leave you, you’re anxious to leave him. Let me change that for you!
Hi, my name is Lisa. I’ve been working in the animal industry for 10+ years. I have a diploma in veterinary assisting, 6 years of grooming experience and was the salon manager. I’ve worked with pets of all sizes, temperaments and personalities but they all have something in common: they don’t appreciate spa days the way we do.
I get it. I wouldn’t want to be handed to a stranger to brush me, bathe me, and shave me WHERE!?!? I’m anxious just thinking about it!
I created Canine Corner because I want to change the grooming experience for both you and your pets. I book my appointments one pet at a time so that I have the time to build a one-on-one relationship with them, and so that they can build trust in me. It’s just me, myself and your pet in my home-based salon. No need to worry about commotion or outside distractions, leaving your pet feeling relaxed and stress free.
Canine Corner is where your pet feels at home.

On most days at the salon, you will find me singing, smiling and dancing. The dogs don’t judge! Every one of your dogs brings joy to my day. They can make any day a positive one!
If you ask me what I am most passionate about when it comes to grooming, I would say working with senior dogs and anxious dogs. They may require a little more time and care, but they steal my heart in a second! Ensuring they are comfortable and feeling their best is important! That boost of confidence that fills them after their groom puts a big ole smile on my face.
In my spare time, you can catch me editing and posting pictures of my groom dogs or creating cute and educational videos of your pets! I also enjoy thrifting for dog figurines and Shania Twain cd’s, spending my time outdoors on nature walks, or watching movies with my rat! 🐀
I’ve participated in numerous educational seminars and certificate courses pertaining to grooming such as, First Aid & CPR, Advanced Hair & Skin, and Poodle Styling Advancement (HCC trim), etc; while I continue to enhance my education and knowledge on upcoming and changing grooming practices and procedures.
Grooming can be challenging, however it is a very rewarding career! I am very thankful for this opportunity, and look forward to meeting you all and your fur babies real soon! Stay PAW-some! 🐾
