Support Oak and Elm Tree Startup

Our names are Sonnet and Tatum, and this is Oak and Elm Tree! We're looking to open a holistic dog training and grooming facility! Our focus is providing low-stress grooming, training classes, and private training for both you and your beloved pet. Dogs deserve to feel safe and have fun during these processes! And you do too!

With many years of experience in both dog grooming and training between the two of us, we're ready to branch out on our own! Our vision includes creating a comfortable and calm space that is both inclusive and accessible for our four-legged clients and their humans. This ranges from a waiting area to watch your pup being pampered via live video feed, to training classes designed with disabilities and neurodivergence in mind.

There is no licensing required to be a pet groomer or dog trainer in the United States. For this reason, we both strive to be at the head of our industries' ever changing and growing standards. With certifications such as CPDT-KA (dog trainer certification), canine esthetician, AKC Salon SAFE, first aid and CPR, canine arthritis management, and handling senior dogs, we have become well rounded and knowledgeable in our fields. Our drive to create an amazing experience for you and your pup will only encourage us to further continue our education!

Your donation will help us fulfill our requirements to receive our business loan! This ensures that we can provide equipment designed to be ergonomic for dogs with extra needs - whether it be extra padding for old joints or special grooming loops for dogs with health conditions. It also secures our ability to provide a luxury service in both the training area and grooming salon that are specifically designed to keep anxious pets and pet parents at ease!

Our goal is to begin renovations by the end of February! This ensures that we can start making a positive impact in Fargo's dog family community as soon as possible. Thank you so much for donating or sharing this gofundme and making our (and your dog's) dreams come true!
