Stephanie, Owner

Stephanie has been loving, and working with dogs her whole life. She started showing dogs at age 13 and after her first show she was hooked! She's competed in Conformation Shows, Agility, Rally, Obedience, and Earthdog with her dogs. In 1996, Stephanie decided to turn her passion into her career. That year she opened Paws and Claws with the goal of providing a place where clients can feel comfortable bringing their furry friends to stay for the day, a week or just to get a great haircut. Throughout the last 24 years, she's attended various seminars and continues to communicate with others in the pet care industry in order to keep up to date on knowledge, education, and trends.
