Owner Resume Example
Since the age of fourteen, I have dedicated my life and career to the care, conditioning, competitive sport, and grooming of dogs. Although I would like to continue with my passion to some degree; in May 2012, I underwent a spinal fusion, and I am no longer able to groom dogs for a living. Because of this, I am currently looking for a receptionist job in a field that I am already very familiar with. I am a highly motivated person, and worked independently for over six years at my last job.

- At the age of fourteen, I began competing with my Alaskan Malamutes in American Kennel Club sanctioned dog shows.
- With this choice of career, it made me a very competitive groomer.
- I am a breeder of Alaskan Malamutes.
- I have also trained my dogs in agility, obedience, conformation, and weight pull events.
- I began working and grooming my own dogs at this business in 2000, at the age of fifteen.
- I was hired in as a dog bather, to be trained on the job as a dog groomer.
- I was employed here as I attended high school, and continued while I pursued college.
- I was hired in as a full time groomer in 2004 and worked here for many years before deciding to independently groom at Thornwood Veterinary Clinic.
- At the end of 2011, I returned shortly to Canine Design to help with fill-in work, but did not return because of my back injury.
- After about six years of experience showing dogs on my own, I decided to further my knowledge by working for one of the Nation's "Top" dog show handlers.
- Here, I learned different training methods, as well as perfecting the art of grooming and handling some of the top dogs in the country.
- While traveling four-to-five days a week, my training included fault grooming, and the specifics of "AKC Standardized" trimming.
- While living at the kennel, I was also responsible for the care and conditioning of approximately forty dogs at any given time.
- During the time I worked for Carlos, I was introduced to Mary Beecher and Craig Padgett who specialized in handling terriers.
- Wanting to further my education once again, I decided to move back and learn the art of hand stripping, since hand stripping is much more difficult and specialized than grooming other breeds.
- I worked for Mary and Craig until they went out of business in 2012.
- Immediately after leaving my job at Canine and Feline Design, I was hired in at Thornwood Veterinary Clinic in Ada, Michigan.
- Along with making my own hours working on commission, I was in charge of gaining my own clients for grooming.
- While starting my new business, I also worked in the boarding kennel, and as an assistant/tech to the Veterinarians.
- After over five years of gaining exceptional clients, a busy schedule, and great career.I am unfortunately no longer able to groom dogs because of a spinal fusion I had in May 2012.
I attended Davenport College briefly in 2007, and currently plan to attend their School of Business starting on March 4, 2013.
I have been in the sport of showing dogs since 1999, and over that time I have placed them in the Top 20, received a BISS, and numerous National Specialty placements. I have also shown at The Westminster Kennel Club and The Eukanuba Tournament of Champions.
