It is with deep concern that I am have am having to write this post. A number of months ago I was asked to help out in in Kinmel bay as a dog groomer due to a number of unsuccessful groomers working from the shop. A local groomer to the rhyl area had gone off sick and a number of her clients attended the shop were they were specifically told "would they not rather wait for there regular groomer as they had many more years experience on me and know the cut of there dog, I can only try". They were happy to proceed. Before and after pictures were taken of all the dogs in my care while working.
In attendance, one of the customers in front of myself, Mark the owner and another customer stated to us that " (the groomer) hits dogs". I replied with I wouldn't know about that but I doubt it because I had been aware of her work since we had worked together in 2015/16 behind a bar.
This customer has since returned to her groomer and told her I said the slanderous statement.
This is false.
A few others have decided to jump on the band wagon and state I am not qualified which is also not true, but rather a personal vendetta against myself for a past relationship with my older children's father.
As a result of ill health, I have had to take a step back from dog grooming other than the few personal clients i have myself in Conwy.
Mark can still be found in the shop in Kinmel bay for all raw dog foods and natural dog treats and is an amazing man. He really puts 100% into everything he does and I fully support him in any venture.
Unfortunately, due to the nature of the business others have decided that myself and Mark are "encroaching" on other businesses and pinching clients. This is simply not true as we do not control who walks through the door to book a service or buy a product.
I thank my trainer provider and four paws groom school, nantwhich were I trained under the best teachers.
And for now, if you can do anything. Be kind to someone today. Choose not try and ruin someone's business, reputation or livelihood.
