Shy is a veterinary technician when she is not grooming at Bozeman Dog Co. Using the Fear-Free techniques, she knows how to keep your pup safe and happy throughout the course of the groom.  Shy knows CPR for dogs and is experienced in handling dogs with medical needs and anxiety.  She can’t wait to meet you and your pup!

With over a decade of experience in AKC dog shows, I have a deep understanding of handling, grooming, and training show-quality dogs. My family raised and showed Samoyeds. We also worked with a variety of breeds, including Dachshunds, English Bulldogs, Golden Retrievers, and Bullmastiffs. Our Samoyeds won multiple Best in Shows throughout the corse of our conformation career. Beyond the show ring, I have grooming experience tailored to many breed’s unique coat and presentation needs. For fun, my family also explored agility training with some of our dogs, and worked on tracking titles, further deepening my knowledge of canine behavior and performance. Years later I have been so lucky to adopt rescue pups who have been such a joy to our family. I look forward to grooming your dog.

Erika has always loved animals so working with them is an easy choice. She worked as a vet tech for several years in Texas. She also spent a few years as a foster/volunteer for a French bulldog rescue. In her free time, she enjoys spending time outdoors with her family and dogs, pet sitting, grooming, and bird watching.
