About me
When my Cairn terrier Dougal arrived from our local rescue centre I decided I would like to learn how to hand strip him properly, so I enrolled on a dog grooming certificate course at The Grimsby Institute. That was in 2008 and I am still there having completed my C&G Level 2 and Level 3 Diploma at the college and then becoming a part time technician in the grooming department before passing my PTLLS qualification and becoming a part time grooming tutor.
In 2010 I took over a small grooming salon in Manby near where I live which went from strength to strength until in April 2014 we moved to our current location at Howdales.
I have competed in several competitions with Airedales, a Yorkiepoo and a poodle, attended many seminars and workshops all to help improve my knowledge and understanding of dogs and grooming and I have also completed my ICMG (International Certified Master Groomer) qualification.
I have 6 dogs and have started to show my young Scottie who has qualified for Crufts this year. I go to training classes with them and attempt agility with my rescue poodle, she is much better at it than me!
My grooming philosophy is simple, your dog’s welfare is my priority, I treat all dogs as if they were my own and aim for them to have an enjoyable stress-free time. I use only natural products on your pets and constantly strive to provide the best service I can. I work alongside Emma Taylor who is also a member of the Groomers Spotlight.
