Jeanette is the owner of A Royal Touch.  Jeanette is an Internationally Certified Master Groomer.  This means she has completed Written and Practical Exams and been judged by an international certifying body.  Testing included grooming a variety of breeds and gruelling written exams including but not limited to Breed Identification, Health, Anatomy, Breed History, Skin Problems, Infestations and much more.

    Competitive Grooming wins include Poodles, Wheaten Terriers and Mixed Breed Teddy Bears.  Jeanette has been grooming for sixteen years and her favourite grooms include Teddy Bear trims, breed clips and patterns.  Her very favourite breeds are Pomeranian, Chihuahua, Papillon, Eskimo and Sheltie.  Jeanette has been a columnist for the K-9 Chronicles in Edmonton and was a regular guest on QR77 Radio's Pet Show with Robert Church.  Look for her Grooming Demonstrations on Television's "PetGuys".  Other Career highlights include being a founding member and Past President of the Alberta Dog Groomers' Association.   Jeanette can also be seen volunteering by invitation at many Humane Society fundraisers.  Jeanette is also our website composer.  For those of you offended by her strong words, yes, she does get on that soap box on occasion, but be reassured that her love of dogs has led her to own one of the longest thriving independent grooming salons in Calgary.

    What does the 'C.D.' stand for?  "The Canadian Forces Decoration is awarded to officers and men of the Canadian Forces who have completed twelve years of service. The medal is awarded to all ranks, who must have a good record of conduct during the final eight years of claimed service." With regular force service (PPCLI Band, Calgary) in her past, Jeanette is currently still serving as a Petty Officer Second Class with H.M.C.S. Tecumseh in Calgary. Yup, Jeanette's IN THE NAVY  NOW!
