Lori has always had an affinity for creative and artistic outlets and a love for animals, and she decided to turn these qualities into a career in the early 2000s. However after Lori completed her CPG Grooming Certificate from Animal Arts Academy in Carmel, IN, she found herself working at a stationary grooming salon. Seeing scared, stressed, and mistreated dogs was unacceptable to her kind-hearted nature, so she decided to make a change. She opened For the Love of Dogs!! in 2004 and hasn't looked back since. Since then, she has aimed to provide the best care and cutest haircuts possible to her furry friends. 

​

Lori enjoys attending annual grooming conferences to discuss and discover new styles, products, and techniques relating to the styling and care of dogs. She is an active member of the National Dog Groomers Association of America. Her priority with For the Love of Dogs!! is to create a calm and soothing environment for pets, which makes them healthier and happier. Grooming doesn't need to be stressful anymore!
