    I was a self taught dog groomer for years and then decided to learn some skills back in 2017 with Michael. It's the best decision I've ever made. He has taught me so much about dog grooming, dog handling, tools, equipment and products. I would be absolutely lost without him. I admire him for the amazing groomer he is and how good he is with dogs. He even manages difficult dogs that most of us would turn away. I hope to be half as talented as my mentor and friend Michael some day!xx

    Micheal is an outstanding groomer. He shares his love, skill and knowledge with his students and his personality is the secret ingredient he makes learning more fun. As a groomer he can handle all dogs, pampering them and they leave looking their best!
