About me
One to one professional dog grooming, specialising in small/ medium breeds. Fully qualified & insured, safety & compassionate handling is paramount & most importantly every dogs welfare is of utmost importance.
City & guilds level 3 advanced qualified, also certified advanced professional groomer.
In 1997 my own dog groomer announced they were pregnant with twins! & that’s where my journey began, owning 4 dogs at the time I needed a new groomer & decided to sign up onto a private dog grooming course with a well know academy & became passionate about dog grooming & the industry. I completed my course & then went on to work voluntary for an established groomers in order to further my knowledge. After 6 months I entered the British dog grooming championships & was astounded when I was awarded with the newcomer of the year. I then became a freelance groomer working around West Yorkshire in several grooming salons, I achieved more experience & confidence & then opened my own salon, I attended many seminars & competitions until I was competent to enter for my city & guilds advanced certificate.
Education & continued professional development is extremely important to me & my business. Keeping up to date with equipment, products & grooming trends. I continue to attend many seminars & competitions, including first aid courses, breed specific demos & business development days.
I am currently studying ICMG ( international certified master groomer) with only a couple of exams to complete hopefully in 2018.
July 2018 fully qualified international master groomer
I enjoy been part of this amazing industry & my job is my passion

Michelle does a great job with my Bichon , would absolutely recommend her.
My Doodle absolutely loves Michele....not only does Michele groom her beautifully she takes into consideration all her ailments. Michele provides a fabulous service.
Just had my first appointment with Michele for my two Poodles. Cream Mini 9 years old and Silver Toy 18 months old. Highly delighted. Pip my mini isnt itching like he normally does after a groom and Eddie my Toy dosnt have runny eyes which had become the norm. Have already booked appointments into 2019. Very pleased and would recommend
