Today marks 2 years of H.W. Canine Design on Green Street!! 💗
Three years ago, when I was grooming out of my garage, I never imagined that I would be here. I’m not typically someone who talks about my accomplishments. Instead, I’m usually focused on what I could be doing better, what I still need to learn, and what the next goal is. But today, I want to take a moment to be proud of how far I’ve come.
Over the last two years, I’ve earned my AKC Professional Groomer/Coat Type Specialist certification, taken countless continuing education courses, entered my very first grooming competition, and stepped outside of my comfort zone. I’ve gotten to explore creative grooming in ways I never thought I could, hosted a successful community event last year, and even had the honor of being voted Montgomery County’s Best Pet Groomer of 2025. More than anything, I’ve had so many opportunities to learn, grow, and become more confident in both my grooming and my business.
The last two years haven’t been perfect. There have been challenges, mistakes, frustrating days, things that didn’t work, and plenty of moments where I wondered if I was actually doing enough. Owning a business has pushed me in ways I never expected, and I’ve had to learn a lot along the way.
I still have many goals. I still want to improve. I still want to become a better groomer, a better business owner, and continue finding new ways to grow. I don’t think I’ll ever stop striving to be better, and I hope I don’t.
Thank you to every client who has trusted me with their dogs, supported my business, recommended me to a friend, left a review, bought something I made, participated in an event, or simply cheered me on. You’ve all played a part in getting me here.
Here’s to many more years of raising the standard of grooming and loving your pups! 🐾❤️
