Meet the team ๐๐ผโโ๏ธ๐ซงโ๏ธ
Hi, Iโm Kelly the owner of The Debonhair Dog.
What made you want to be a groomer?
I had a dog in which I took to the groomers and realised actually I want a go at this to see if I could groom him the exact way I wanted him to look. So, I looked for a training school then found one and trained on my days off from my full time job and qualified level 3 City and Guilds. After qualifying I started my own business along side my full time job, until the day came where I had enough custom to dog groom full time. The rest is history.
Time grooming? - 13 years.
Favourite thing about your job? - I really enjoy a transformation from when a dog comes in to a dog leaving, looking completely different.
Favourite breed to groom? - Shih tzu and Cockerpoo.
Hobbies? - Walking my dogs and Reformer Pilates.
Can you tell us any likes and dislikes? - I enjoy consistency and building relationships with both owners and dogs, although I do find it really hard when loosing dogs whether that be because theyโve passed away or not returned.
Grooming can be really physically demanding, and can really take its toll on our body, but is so worth it when returning dogs recognise you because of the bonds we have formed and the strong relationships with their owners.
