"No, no, no, you can't do that," Brandi Navarro said softly as Julie, a white shih tzu, wiggled on the grooming table at Shaggy Waggle, 7927 E. 21st St.

Eventually, Navarro sweet-talked her into submission and finished trimming Julie's coat.

"I never would have thought I would be grooming dogs," said Navarro, who started working full-time at Shaggy Waggle early this year through Pets Helping People (PHP)'s Muddy Paws program.

"I'm really proud, and I feel really important to myself and others," she said.

With the motto of "pets helping woman inmates shed their shaggy past," PHP trains incarcerated females from the Turley Correctional Center, Drug Court and Women in Recovery at the Muddy Paws pet grooming business, 2234 E. 56th Place, to be kennel technicians
