Hi, My name is Vicky, I have been grooming now for 12months, after gaining great training and some incredible first class experience with Lee, Martin & Chloe at Furst Class Lounge, Chesterfield.

Dogs are my passion and my world and have been since a young age, which developed even further when me & my husband got our first Weimaraner puppy back in 1998. Then we got involved in rescuing the breed as we learnt more & more about dogs in general, their behaviour & communication, which helps us give them a well balanced & enriched life. We lost our last Weimaraner aged 13 in June 20 and for the first time, in a long while we only have the one dog at the moment which is a German Shorthaired Pointer that we rescued from the streets of Cyprus. But another Weimaraner is in the planning for 2021

I love grooming all types of dogs, and especially love to see the transformation of my grooms and those wagging tails after.  I work individually with each dog to make sure they are comfortable in my salon by showing, leadership, compassion & calmness. 

I am passionate about dog grooming and education and love attend seminars to learn new skills & experience. I love passing on this knowledge & information should my clients need it to help them continue with their pooches grooming or deal with any behaviour questions or concerns.  

I have completed a Pet First Aid course.

At the moment my greatest industry achievement is gaining my dog grooming qualification - OCN (Open College Network) Level 3 Diploma in Jan 2020. Which involved hands on training, experience for a minimum 34 days, pet first aid, assignments & a practical grooming exam. 

Thank you for taking time to read about me & my passion & I look forward to meeting you & your pooches soon.

Vicky
