Dorine is fantastic! I've never owned a dog with long hair before and therefore have never had a dog groomed other than nails. That changed when we adopted a 6 mo Crocker Spaniel. I just took him to get his first grooming at 8 mo old and had no idea what to ask for. Dorine made me feel super comfortable as she explained options. I went with a shorter puppy cut and he looks adorable! There are no clipper marks or anything.... very smooth coat. Just couldn't be happier! He even seems to love it himself. Ha. We will be returning.
