Owner
Gabriella Hansen
Gabby has had a passion for dogs since she was a little girl. Growing up with German Shorthaired Pointers and Vizslas, she was always hands-on, grooming and training her dogs as well as her grandparents’ dogs. Her love for animals and deep connection to dogs has been a part of her life for as long as she can remember, and she always knew she wanted to work with them.
At the age of 23, Gabby’s dream became a reality when she opened K-9 Couture in 2014. What started as a small grooming business quickly grew to include daycare and boarding services, all with the same commitment to personalized care and attention that Gabby values so deeply. Her experience, knowledge, and love for dogs are at the heart of K-9 Couture.
Gabby received her grooming certificate from a local grooming school and is CPR and Dog First Aid certified, ensuring that she is fully equipped to care for your dog in every situation. She has four personal dogs—Beretta and Parker, her two Vizslas, and Colbie and Ember, her Beagles. Gabby enjoys training them in various dog sports, including obedience, agility, scent work, and conformation. Gabby’s passion for grooming extends to a variety of breeds, but she especially loves grooming Setters, Golden Retrievers, and any curly-coated breeds, appreciating the unique qualities each one brings.
When she's not working, Gabby enjoys spending quality time with her husband, Mike, and their two children, Lucas and Julia. Her deep dedication to her dogs and the ones in her care makes K-9 Couture a special place where every dog is treated like family.
