      Start with a conversation. Reach out through the contact form and Monique will get back to you to learn what you’re hoping to create. From there, every session begins with a planning meeting so nothing is left to guesswork.<\/p>\n

      It starts with a planning meeting via Zoom so Monique understands exactly what you’re hoping to create.

Afterward you’ll have a guided design and order meeting where you choose your finished pieces. The whole experience is seamless from start to finish.<\/p>\n

After 13+ years working with animals of every temperament, a wiggly dog is just part of the fun. The session is designed to work with your pet’s personality, not against it.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What if my pet misbehaves during the session?” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]Honestly, it happens and it’s never a problem.
