About Creature Comforts

Hi, I’m Max, a professional dog groomer and trainer with a heart for helping pups feel safe, and cared for. I specialize in holistic grooming with gentle, fear-free techniques—especially for anxious, senior, or special-needs dogs.

My goal is always to create a calm, comfortable experience that leaves dogs looking and feeling their best.

In training, I always start with the Least invasive tactics for training alongside I use positive reinforcement to build trust, from puppy basics to behavior support. With years of hands-on experience and a deep love for animals, I’m here to support both you and your dog through every stage of care.

More about my background

I recently moved to Rhode Island after spending most of my life in Madison, Wisconsin. I’ve been grooming dogs for about six years, and I originally opened my own grooming salon in Madison after realizing there weren’t many safe, supportive options for dogs who were anxious, reactive, or needed a little extra care.

I believe every dog deserves to be treated with patience and respect, and I’ve built my career around creating calm, low-stress 1:1 dog grooming experiences—especially for pups who don’t thrive in traditional grooming environments.
