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 International certified Master 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 have studied ICMG ( international certified master groomer) and in July 2018 fully qualified as an international certified master groomer
I enjoy been part of this amazing industry & my job is my passion

2017/AugustConfessions of a young groomer seminar
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
Michele has been looking after my shih tzu, Bobby, for 8years now.He has always felt at ease with her and is completely relaxed and happy when being groomed. Michele also looks out for and advises on any ailments she finds and goes beyond just a bath and groom. Delighted to recommmend Michele she does a fantastic job.
I’ve met Michelle on a number of occasions and her passion for pet grooming shines through x
After trying several groomers previously, Michele outshines then all, her knowledge regards dogs and their well being is vast. Fraiser my Shih tzu loves going and responds well to Michele’s calm friendly manner and looks amazing after his haircut. I would recommend Michele to anyone without hesitation.
