As the owner of Bozeman Dog Company and Invisible Fence of the Big Sky, I love my work! For me, it's not a job—it's a passion. It’s a great joy to provide safety for your pets and peace of mind for you. I enjoy making friends with the many, many pets I meet, helping them to learn new boundaries, as well as meeting and working with the people who want the very best for their pet(s)—the best training, technology, service and support. My wife and I have been Montana residents since 1987, and as family business owners we're in it for the long haul. Our mission is to make life with your pet(s) more enjoyable! We hope you’ll allow us the opportunity to do so.

Outside of work Courtney enjoys spending time with her husband, young son, and their family pets.

My love for animals began when I was a child, so no one was surprised that I grew up working with them!  During high school I began working as a kennel attendant at an animal hospital and then trained as a vet technician. Before moving to Montana, I spent 20 years as a tech at an animal hospital in Texas.  I had many duties from drawing up vaccines to prepping animal patients and assisting in their surgeries. These experiences taught me a lot about different dog breeds and how to deal with various dog behaviors, among other things I learned dog restraint, dog handling and CPR. I grew up grooming our cat and cocker spaniels, and as an adult, my giant schnauzer and Airedale.  I’m always striving to improve my grooming skills through practice, study, and working with a very skilled mentor. Our family also volunteered for a French bulldog rescue. We had 15 frenchies come through our house with health and/or skin issues! We adopted one ourselves. It was rewarding to get them well and into their forever homes. In my free time, I like to spend time outdoors with my husband, kids and dogs. I also enjoy cooking, finding a new coffee shop and bird watching- we have a few as pets but also the larger wild birds.

Growing up, I’ve always had a passion for animals and their care. My aunt inspired and taught me how to groom over the last few years on my own dogs. Recently, I was a pet care provider at a dog daycare in Minnesota. From there, I was able to have the opportunity to learn as a groomers’ apprentice under two compassionate and experienced groomers. I love the creativity and connections that come with grooming. As a current student at MSU in animal science Pre-Vet studies, I want to work with animals while still gaining knowledge and experience in grooming. When I am not at work or school, I enjoy going to the local national parks, like Yellowstone, and wildlife watching. In addition to this, I also like to read and hang out with my poodle, Olaf. I am looking forward to connecting with clients and their families by providing the best care and grooms that I can for your pets!
