We Were Charter Members National Dog
Groomers of America.
We began grooming soon after purchasing our first poodle ("Gidget") when
our children were toddlers. The litter owner of our first puppy was so rough
with it that he made it bleed. I decided that it was not right for
someone to injure a pet during grooming and began to groom my puppy. I
bought books and grooming tools and gradually became proficient at the art
of pet grooming.
When "Gidget" had her first litter of puppies we contacted the
owner of the "father" of the litter because we wanted to make a family
picture. The father of the litter arrived at the family photo shot
greatly in need of grooming. After getting the owners permission the
father of the litter was groomed. When the owner returned to
pick up the father of the litter he asked "...what have you done to my
dog?". He was very pleased with the grooming and asked why I did not
groom pets for other people for a living. That's how our entry into
the world of pet grooming began.
For three decades Charles and Nell Johnston have worked to advance their
craft in pet grooming. They also attended and graduated from the
advanced curriculum at the New York School of Dog Grooming. We also
have extensive experience in show grooming and have at one time operated a
grooming school certified by the state of North Carolina.
We are known for our quality work and making every dog look its
best. We use no tranquilizers.
