"Taking care of man's best friend since 2022."

    I am Kynlee Dixon and I am the owner of Hound Town Grooming Spaw. I am originally from Weatherford, Texas.  

​

    Growing up, I was actively involved in my local FFA & 4-H club, holding leadership roles as the FFA Chapter President, District FFA Sentinel, & Parker County 4-H Ambassador. I also raised show sheep & swine.

My favorite part about raising show livestock was actually what people dread most - spending countless hours in wash bays or trimming on lamb stands, fitting (grooming) my livestock for shows.

​

    While in high school, I was also part of an organization where we would do basic baths and nail trims for staff members dogs and the money raised went to benefit our FFA chapter. Simultaneously, I pursued my CVA (veterinary assistant certification) interning at numerous veterinary clinics in the Parker County area. I loved every second of it, but I knew I didn’t want to be a veterinarian.

​

    In 2022, I graduated high school and moved to Stephenville, Texas, to attend Tarleton State University. I adopted my best buddy, Cinch (my blue heeler), from Operation Kindness. He goes everywhere with me! You will definitely meet ‘the secretary’ at the shop and know Cinch is there, he is not graceful, or quiet… and he is always glued to my hip, but he is hysterical and y'all will love him.

The Birth of Hound Town Grooming Spaw- Dublin:

    As I was looking for a job, I knew I wanted to work with dogs. I found a kennel technician / dog bather position at a local dog daycare and it was a great entry position, but I wanted to learn to groom professionally.

​

    I contacted a local groomer and told her I was interested in learning. She took me in with open arms and trained me on the basics of professional dog grooming. The best part? I could take Cinch to work with me. I hit the ground running and knew this was where I belonged! Ultimately, her business closed, presenting me with the opportunity to open my own salon.

​

    In 2023, at 18 years old, I signed a lease on my first Hound Town Grooming Spaw location, in Dublin, Texas, while also being a full time student at both Tarleton State University and Weatherford College. Let me tell you, it took a lot of courage, dedication, and a big ol’ dream. I am blessed to say my business in Dublin was very successful.

​

    Shortly after I opened Hound Town Grooming Spaw, I obtained my associates degree from Weatherford College. I am still currently a full-time student at Tarleton State University and will be graduating in May of 2025 with my Bachelors.

​

   I have built my business on a foundation of believing that grooming should be a positive experience for both dog and groomer. I have worked with countless dogs who have had a rough past with grooming, or just behavior situations that get turned away by other groomers. I have strived to create a positive and nurturing environment for dogs, to teach them that grooming can be, and SHOULD be an enjoyable experience for them. Even the pups that have no care in the world about being groomed and love getting their Spaw day - I make sure they know they are loved and in good hands while in my shop. It is my honor to be your best friend's groomer!

​

    In May of 2024, I married my high school sweetheart, Hayden, and we got Cinch a sidekick- Maisie, (aka May-May) from the Fredericksburg Animal Shelter. You honestly may or may not see ‘the receptionist’ when coming to the shop. Maisie can be a shy girl sometimes, but she will be there and is a sweetie pie.

​

    Hayden graduated from Tarleton State University and took a position working for Solo Select Horses, which is what brought us to Collinsville! He puts up with all of my dog-obsessed wildest dreams.

In our free time (which is, really rare) we love to bow hunt, fish, travel, and anything that involves being in the outdoors. I also love to bake and craft.

 

    We love the local community and are beyond blessed to be a part of it!
