Meet the team
Our team is the very best, if we do say so ourselves. Our groomers believe in compassion, continued education, gentle methods, and listening to both you and your pet's needs.
Hallie, CFFP- Owner/Groomer
I'm now in my 23nd year of grooming. I moved from central Florida to beautiful Tennessee, where since then, I managed and groomed in the salon of a local luxury pet resort. I'm thrilled to be going out on my own, and look forward to the many amazing people and pups (and kitties too) I will get to work with. If I had a specialty, I'd have to say its doodles and small "oodles". Somewhere along the line I created a doodle styling that seems to capture the doodle personality, and doesn't "poodle the doodle".
​
I was formally trained at the Academy of Animal Arts in Florida in 2001, and have regularly attended continuing education workshops in several states, covering topics such as advanced grooming and handling skills; breed-specific training; business and teaching courses; first aid and general animal health; safety and prevention; and customer relations. As a former grooming educator, I love teaching others how to care for their dogs. I consider myself a partner in helping my clients care for their pets at home between groom visits.
​
On the more personal side, at the end of my day, I return to my home just outside of Downtown Dickson, to my husband, kids, and corgis! When I'm not grooming, I'm watching kids play, while sipping coffee on my porch, and listening to the birds.

Vicky- Groomer
​
I am a certified dog groomer of 5 years. I’ve groomed for both large cooperate salons as well as mobile locally, and now Milk and Honey Paw Spa. I enjoy the satisfaction each finished groom brings! Fun fact! She also groomed cows for 8 years. Vicky can often be heard singing to the dogs she grooms, and giggling while getting kisses and playing with them.
When she's not at the salon, she enjoys being active outdoors hiking, kayaking, and exploring. Or relaxing at home in White Bluff with her pittie named Jet and he, of course, is the best boy!
Abby- Professional Bather

Abby came to us as an experienced bather after having been part of her school's animal science program. She's excellent with the dogs and hopes to become a groomer one day.
