About me
Hi, My name is Nicky, I have been grooming for 25 years, I started my training at Brinsbury College Chichester. I have also trained with some of the top groomers in the industry.
I have a lovely quiet salon at my home which is fully air-conditioned.
I own 5 Miniature schnauzers which I show at championship level with great success. If I didn't have schnauzers I'd quite like a Bedlington terrier. My favourite dogs to groom apart from the schnauzers are poodles and terriers. I have a real soft spot for border collies too.
I am passionate about grooming and education and regularly attend seminars. I subscribe to the English Groomers group, the groomers spotlight, the guild of master groomers and the exhibitors voice and choice.
I have completed a Pet First Aid course.
My greatest industry achievement is Winning best advanced Groomer at the British dog grooming championships and gaining my higher diploma to becoming a member of the guild of master Groomers.
Thank you for reading my profile and I look forward to meeting you and your dogs soon.

Highly recommended!
Highly recommended!
I travelled 645 Miles to have Poodle Cross groomed by Nicky and it was worth the journey. Rocky looks great after his bath, dry and cut. Thoroughly professional with a fantastic salon. Highly Recommended.
