Professional Dog Groomer
About me
My salon is based in Thompson which is a small village in norfolk, situated in the heart of the Wayland area. Close to lots of beautiful places to walk your dog such as pedders way and the Pingo Trail.
I offer a calm, friendly, 1 to 1 service that welcomes all breeds/cross breeds. In a clean & inviting salon.
I have been grooming nearly 5 years, during this time I have completed my level 2 & level 3 (proffessional diploma) City & Guilds qualifications & I hold my full ICMG qualification (Internationally Certified Master Groomer). I am currently also working through doing my PIF Highers diploma exam.
Furthering my skills & knowledge is very important to me, therefore I attend demos & seminars monthly that cover multiple breed trims, breed specifics, anatomy, handling, business skills, scissor skills and endless other topics.
I enjoy taking part in grooming competitions and have competed with breeds such as the Bichon Frise, the Norwich Terrier, the Bedlington Terrier and cross breeds such as the English & American Cockerpoo.
I have attended workshops where I have been turored with experts with the Bedlingyon, Bichon Frise, West Highland White Terrier & this year I have workshops lined up with a Lhasa Apso and a Norwich Terrier.
I also teach grooming one to one at ‘The Dog House’ Grooming school in Norfolk 1 day a week.
I love all aspects of grooming but I am happiest with a pair of scissors in my hands creating nicely shaped legs & heads, I like to test myself with creating breed standards & pushing myself to grow as a groomer.

Carla is always professional and puts my dog at ease. We wouldn't take our dog anywhere else.
I'm very happy to have my dog cared for by Carla, she is very professional and my dog is happy there!
Both my dogs look fabulous after they have been groomed by Carla.
I have been taking my dog to Carla since she was a puppy. Carla really loves her job and is confident and professional and my little dog is beautiful after every groom
