Kathy
Owner, Master Trainer, Groomer
I’m Kathy Kaufman, I've been through an intense three year dog training program becoming a master dog trainer, learning many vet tech duties, and proficiently running a kennel of 50 plus dogs. I've been in the industry for over 10 years, am a member of the National Dog Groomers Association of America , the international Boarding & Pet Services Association, the American Pet Professionals, and the International Association of Canine Professionals
I’m married to my best friend Ron who is my biggest fan, whom I would not be able to run a business with out his support. We have 5 kids, 4 bonus kids and 30 grandkids! All who love animals as I do!
I thoroughly love animals, especially dogs, there is no other on earth that loves you more than they love themselves! Who would have thought after 30 years of being an accountant in the corporate world , that my true love is dog training!
