Courtney is also a Minnesota native with a love for grooming and animals. She has groomed over 10 years in both corporate and private salons; also beginning in a Petco before moving to independent salons. Many pups she has groomed from puppies to present over those years. She loves and is trained in all breeds but bullies have a special place in her heart. Her cheery demeanor helps put even the most nervous pup at ease.
Welcome to our grooming salon!
About Us
I was born and raised in Apple Valley, Minnesota where I first worked in grooming salons and developed my love for grooming. After high school I attended the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point and received a degree in Biology. Shortly after I moved to Texas and worked at several salons. This furthered my skills and exposed me to different types of grooming salons. In 2006, I moved to Tucson and continued grooming at a Petco. Within a few months, a new Petco opened and I was selected to become the grooming salon manager. Although I was grateful for that experience I became dissatisfied with the philosophy and stress a corporation places on a grooming salon. In 2008 I opened my first salon, Posh Paws Grooming, in Arizona.

further bio and pics to come
Several years ago, I moved back to Minnesota. At the time Royal Paws needed a new owner and decided to take it on. Since then I've had the please to get to know the previous clients as well as many new clients.
As the salon grew, to better serve these clients and new comers the salon now has two additional fully trained groomers.
