Guy
Guy Knepp has been fulfilling his passion of grooming pets for over 20 years, having owned multiple grooming business for the last 15 years in Seattle and Montana. Guy is a graduate of the Pet Smart Academy, certified by the International Professional Groomers Association, and an experienced grooming instructor. He specializes in geriatric and difficult pets, often dealing with significant animal behavioral issues. Guy excels at “training” dogs on how to be groomed, making the grooming experience safer and less stressful for both the groomer and the dog.
Guy’s experience in Seattle helped him develop extensive expertise in breed specific cuts – and he loves grooming terriers! He was honored to be chosen as the south-satellite school and instructor for Maser’s Grooming Academy in Seattle where he uncovered and expanded his love of teaching. Guy instructed over 20 groomers during his time with Maser’s and can proudly claim that several of his students have gone on to own their own professional grooming salons. In the very near future, Guy plans to open a grooming school at Central Bark in Missoula.
In addition to grooming and instructing, Guy’s animal experience includes obedience training of his Chow Chows, significant dog rescue work, attending Introduction to Animal Control training, and most wonderful doggy Daddy to more than 20 dogs over the years.
Since childhood, I’ve known turning my passion for animals into a career would make my life complete. After many years of operating a successful Chow Chow rescue and working in the high-tech corporate world, I decided to take the plunge and fulfil my dream –owning and operating successful pet grooming salons. As a resident of Missoula, I feel honored to provide exceptional services to my friends and neighbors. Being a pet stylist allows me to work with animals plus tap into my artistic side. It warms my heart to see a pleased owner pick up their clean, confident pet – smiles all around! Then, I know I’ve made the right career choice.
– Guy Knepp, owner of Central Bark
