SASHA

I think I was born in 2001, not really sure and no one who
knows me is sure either.  It was a rough start; I can’t remember
most of it.  Life started for me after I was returned to a shelter
and Gary & Annie decided to help me out and foster me until
such time as they found a proper home for me.  The good
news for me – I never left their home!  

I worked through most of my problems but I still love to bark at
anyone and everything!  It could be the terrier in me.   I just
love to bark! My major weakness is my addiction to toy stuffing;
you can find it behind the desk on a regular basis and yes,
those are MY toys all over the shop!  

You may see me with different colors; as I fly my freak flag in
contrast to my more sedate sister Lucy.  I have been known to
let them dye my tail and ears hot pink and ultra violet.  I know
its soo cool!
LUCY

I was born in 2001, not sure what month, I think March and not
sure where.  I found my way to North Shore Animal League
where Annie & Gary found me at the tender age of 8 weeks
old.  It was love at first sight!  After the usual puppy
shenanigans, I settled into a nice life; training classes and I
even became a certified therapy dog!  

Nowadays I spend most of my time keeping an eye on the store
as the official greeter – I’m the one who doesn’t bark!  I also
assist Annie with training clients and I’m one of the official toy
and treat testers for all my canine buddies!  It’s a rough job but
someone has to do it.  My life is relatively calm in comparison to
my wild and crazy sister Sasha; therefore my bio probably isn’t
as big as hers because I’m the well adjusted one.  Annie & Gary
always say I’m a product of what good training and socializing
can do!  I can still have my moments of puppy zoomies, and I
love to be chased!
JAIME

Jaime began working with dogs in 1997, when she volunteered
at a veterinarian's office in CT. She has had a variety of
experience in the animal industry since, including working in vet
offices, pet supply stores, dog daycares, pet sitting and now a
grooming shop.

In 2006, Jaime became certified by the American Red Cross in
Pet First Aid. That year she also became a Certified Pet Care
Technician, through the Pet Care Services Association (formerly
ABKA). She hopes to become an Advanced Certified Pet Care
Technician as well as a Certified Kennel Operator by 2010.

Jaime loves learning all angles of the industry. Her latest
accomplishment is assisting Gary in creative grooming and
adding a touch of color to your pooch!
ANNIE

Annie began training dogs professionally in 2004, joined the
Association of Pet Dog Trainers, and in October 2007 became a
Certified Pet Dog Trainer – Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA).

Annie is committed to helping people build a better relationship
with their dogs through training and believes owning a dog should
be a pleasure.  Annie believes in building a training program to
suit you and your dog; there is no “one-size-fits-all” solution.

Annie loves pursuing ongoing professional educational
development and seminars.  She attends the annual Association
of Pet Dog Trainers conferences and as many seminars as
possible through the year.
GARY

Gary graduated from the New York School of Dog Grooming in
2003 and began grooming right away.  He has also served as a
dog handler and dog walker for several other pet organizations.  
These experiences, as well as his own belief that grooming
shouldn’t be a traumatic experience, have led him to his
philosophy of working with not only the dog but the owner as well
to achieve a well balanced relationship between them.  This leads
to a more rewarding grooming experience for everyone.

Gary also participates in the Little Nippers Puppy Class and Basic
Manners for City Living to give owners a complete perspective of
what type of grooming their dog requires and what they can do at
home to help their dog enjoy their grooming more.

Gary is constantly on the lookout for new grooming techniques
and animal friendly products to make grooming a better
experience for all.
