Exceptional Grooming Is an Art
Decades of expertise. An extraordinary eye for detail. A grooming experience designed around your dog.
At Fairview Boarding, grooming is more than a haircut. It's the art of understanding coat, structure, balance and the individual dog — then bringing out their very best.
MEET TONY
An Eye Trained by Decades of Experience
Long before joining the Fairview Boarding Groom Salon, Tony built his career in the world of dogs — as an award-winning dog handler and highly sought-after professional groomer.
His years in the show ring developed an exceptional understanding of coat, structure, balance, breed characteristics and presentation — expertise that now goes into every dog he grooms.
But Tony's gift isn't simply making dogs look beautiful.
Decades spent working hands-on with dogs have taught him how to read the individual dog in front of him, adjust his approach and understand what they need to feel comfortable.
It's a rare combination:
An exceptional eye for the finished dog and a genuine understanding of the dog underneath the coat.
The Fairview Boarding Difference
EXPERT CRAFTMANSHIP
Decades of grooming and professional dog handling give Tony an exceptional understanding of coat, structure and balance. Every groom is approached individually to create a beautiful result suited to your dog.
COMFORT-FIRST GROOMING
Beautiful results shouldn't come at the expense of your dog's wellbeing. We use fear-free techniques, positive handling and thoughtful pacing while paying close attention to your dog's body language throughout their visit.
ENRICHMENT, EVEN HERE
Because grooming is part of the Fairview Boarding experience, dogs can enjoy enrichment during their grooming day — providing opportunities to sniff, explore, engage and enjoy individualized attention between portions of their appointment.
THE FINISHED DOG
Their Best Look Yet
There's a difference between getting your dog groomed and having your dog beautifully groomed.
Tony considers your dog's coat, structure, breed characteristics, lifestyle and your preferences before determining the right approach.
The goal isn't to make every dog look the same.
It's to create the cut, shape and finish that makes your dog look their absolute best.
From the Show Ring to the Grooming Table
A Lifetime Devoted to Beautiful Dogs
Before he was grooming Fairview Boarding dogs, Tony spent years presenting dogs in the show ring.
His award-winning handling career required an extraordinary attention to detail. Coat preparation, balance, movement, structure and presentation all mattered — because at that level, the smallest details matter.
That same eye now comes to work every day in the Fairview Boarding Groom Salon.
And your dog gets the benefit of it.
