About Us
Jenelle, Owner, Groomer
I have loved animals from a young age and always aspired to be a veterinarian. As I grew up and realized that wasn’t for me, I refocussed my career and achieved a Bachelors of Environmental Studies with a Major in Wildlife Management. I have a unique background working on the Peregrine Falcon recovery program in Manitoba and have worked at mitigating the gull population using both hawks and falcons. While in University I developed my love for grooming and since then I have attained the title of Canadian Canine Intermediate Stylist Technician (CCST1-Int) a Certified Pet Groomer from the Canadian Professional Pet Stylists (CPPS) along with having Canadian Canine Stylist Technician (CCST1).
I have been an active member of the Professional Pet Groomers Association of Manitoba (PPGAM) since 2013. I have attended many educational seminars here in Winnipeg that were put on by the PPGAM. I have also travelled out of town for shows including SuperZoo in Las Vegas in 2013, Mastergroom Canada in Calgary in 2016 and Groom Expo in Hershey, Pennsylvania in 2017.
I own three CKC registered Finnish Lapphunds named Olli, Elara and Eevee. Olli is a Canadian Champion, has the title of Canine Good Neighbour, and passed many obedience classes. Elara also has her Canadian Championship. Eevee is still in training and has a few points towards her championship, she also has her advanced trick title.
I am also the Manitoba representative for the Finnish Lapphund club of Canada and a member of Canadian Kennel Club. I have renewed my Certificate for Animal First Aid, CPR, Artificial Respiration and Airway Obstruction in 2022.
