Dog groomer cutting out a business for herself Chris Skalkos T -A staff HENSALL - When the man- ufacturing company Peggy Heipel was employed by picked up and left Huron Park, she found herself out of a job. So Heipel decided to work for herself, and now her busi- ness has gone to the dogs. Heipel started Pet Lovers' Grooming over a year ago when the company she worked for, Poulan- Weeder the manufacturer of chain - saws and weedeaters, closed their doors and left Huron Industrial Park. After the plant closed Heipel en- rolled in a workshop designed to help people find the field of work they would be most interested in. "Everything pointed to animals so that's how I narrowed it down to grooming," said Heipel who had some previous experience groom- ing three dogs of her own. Working out of her home in a specially designed room, Heipel sees an average 12 to 15 dogs come through her canine salon. Most of her clients are Schnauzers (mid- sized terriers), but occasionally Heipel grooms rare breeds such as Soft -Coated Wheaten Terriers or Silky Terriers. She also grooms the odd cat. A trip to Pet Lover's Grooming consists of nail clipping, bathing, shaving or hand scissoring the fur to breed standard, ear plucking, a bath and a fluff dry. The whole pro- cess takes a two hours and the dogs are fitted with a bandana and re- warded with a treat before they leave. "You don't want to frighten them, especially when they're first intro- duced to a groomer. I want to make their first time enjoyable," said Hei- pel adding that puppies as young as four months can he brought in for their first groom. Heipel makes it a point to be as accessible as she can to her custom- ers scheduling weekend appoint- ments and even making house calls. She said the In -hone Grooming service she offers is really popular among pet owners because "they don't have to leave home" and they are there to comfort the dogs. "People at home find it fas- cinating to sit and watch the pro- cess," Heipel said. Heipel admits though, there are . some challenges in this business. "You have to have a lot of pa- tience," said Heipel explaining that some dogs with heavy matted fur require a lot more time and it can be uncomfortable for the dog. Occasionally she gets a heavy dog that can't or won't stand on its Peggy Heipel of Pet Lovers' Grooming gives Barney a shave to help him keep cool this summer. • I BUSINESS 1m DIRECTORY AUCTIONEERS • Filson 8 Robson 35 Years Experience of Selling or Appraisals Call or fax 519- 6860833 for yours Mobile office, Immediate payment, 3 auctioneers we pick up and sell com- plete or partial household effects Specializing In real estate and general sales i REPAIRS Sewing Machine Repairs to all makes .

Heipel has never been bitten and she isn't even worried about that at all. "You don't want to show a dog fear, they can sense that," she said. According to Heipel, dogs should be groomed periodically in order to maintain a healthy skin and coat, and also to control shedding and help keep them cool in the heat of the summer. She encourages owners to brush their pets regularly since it prevents matting and provides some "quality time" between the two. "Dogs are a social animal and they need to be with people," she said. Heipel finds it rewarding to see the look on the owner's face when they return to her shop to pickup their pet. "I like it when the owners come back and they're really happy with my work," she said. However, for Heipel being self- employed doing something she loves to do is the most rewarding experience for her. "I absolutely love it!" said Hei- pel. "I'm going to be doing this for a long time."
