Hello! My name is Maryann Durante. I am a professional academy trained dog groomer. I am 44 years young, and I have been grooming a little over a year and a half. I have also been a bather for 8 months prior to learning to groom. I love grooming!! I have been to the Hershey's Groom Expo in Pa for 3 years now and I plan on going again this year.
I love to read and I am frequently expanding my grooming knowledge by reading and watching videos.
I find that most dogs are wonderful and willing to work with you.
If something presents as a problem I will work on another area and save the problem area for later or last. Some dogs that despise nail trimming are happy as larks if you nail grind. That is why nail grinding is NOT an extra fee at One Dog.
I will also be able to advise you on ways to help your dog in between groomings. There is no rush for me to go grab another dog out or answer a phone. I will be able to give your dog a treat before, during, and after if it's ok with you and doesn't distract your pal too much. You provide the treats. For some dogs this is a great motivator. I love to love on your dog.
For my grooming supplies I have multiple blades. I switch my blades out before they get hot.
My best fur friend is Shodan ( a 4 year old terrier mix we found on Petfinder) Binky ( a 21 yr old Siamese mix) passed on May 22, 2013 . Bobo my Black and white DLH cat passed Jan 2012 at age 20.
I live a clean lifestyle. Most nights I am in bed by 8pm. My husband Chris and I are happily married.
