Riker always walks out after a groom looking like he’d come straight from a photoshoot.

He loves the bath time, and being brushed, he makes that funny noise while we’re pampering him and when we stop for a second he nudges us to keep going. His owners comment on how shiny he is after a groom and they can tell he loves it here.

What the end result doesn’t show: me being relentless when trying to hold Rikers’ paw still long enough to get the clippers anywhere near a nail, while he decided the correct response to that was to lick every inch of my face and neck he could reach. For about a minute straight we were both just trying to stop the other one doing their job, him fully committed to grooming me back, me fully committed to getting through four paws.

That’s most of the job. Nobody photographs the nail trim, the paw that keeps getting pulled back, the ten seconds where a dog decides the best defence is pure affection. They just get the photo at the end, looking effortless.

If you’ve ever wondered what you’re actually paying for when you book a groom, it’s usually that gap: the messy, unglamorous bit between arrival and the photo.

We just confirmed our final spot for this year’s Academy intake and wanted to take a moment to reflect.

So that’s it for 2026, every place taken, every one of them someone we’ve met, talked to properly, and decided was the right fit for what we teach here.

It never stops being a bit strange, watching a genuinely random group of career-changers turn into people who actually know what they’re doing. And we’re grateful we get to do what we do.

Which also brings us to January 2027. We’ve got one spot left, and after this year we’re not expecting it to sit there for long. If you’ve been thinking about this for a while wondering whether it’s really for you, that’s the conversation worth having with us now, before the diary fills up again.

Confidence isn't a personality trait.

I placed Rusty on the table and could not believe how matted she was. It was right after we opened our salon and at that point I never touched a coat in this state before.

Standing over the table, Anna right beside me for longer than usual, I tried to work out where to even start. She made a call then: we will shave the dog before we wash her. And I thought: I wouldn't know what to do if Anna wasn't there.

That pause is the moment judgement actually starts, the bit you can't fake by watching someone else do it.

We barely see a coat like Rusty's now. Our clients come back every 4 to 12 weeks depending on the dog, so the groom stays ahead of the coat instead of catching up with it. And on the rare occasion one does come in matted, we don't just quietly push through it the way we did that day. Today we have terms in place now that let us charge properly for the extra time and skill it takes.

That's something we teach students too: not just how to shave a matted coat safely, but how to price it, explain it to the client, and protect your own time while you do it. The judgement Anna had that day is teachable. So is knowing what it's worth.

If you're weighing up a career change into grooming, come and watch us in action and get your hands on real dog, in the real salon.

We don’t let our clients leave without their next appointment already booked.

It sounds like a small thing. It isn’t.

When clients leave with “call us when you’re ready,” most of them mean to. Then two months pass, the coat’s a mess, and it’s harder on the dog and more expensive to fix than it ever needed to be.

Booking at pick-up removes all of that. One less thing for the client to think about. One more dog on a proper rhythm.

We also go through our client list every month, just to check nobody’s slipped through unnoticed. If we spot someone who’s overdue, we send a quick note to say we’ve saved them a spot.

Some of our clients now book a whole year of appointments in advance, spaced exactly to their dog’s routine, so they never have to think about it again and never risk losing their slot.

It’s the smallest habit that’s made the biggest difference to how we run things here.

We didn’t plan to open an academy.

People kept asking whether they could train with us, and we started small, wanting to see if it would be a good fit for us too, not just for them.

A few college students doing their Level 2 dog grooming course asked if they could come in for work experience. Their courses were teaching them the theory, but they weren’t getting enough real hands-on time with real dogs.

We didn’t have a business plan for it. We had a spare afternoon here, a willing dog there, and a growing pile of people who genuinely wanted to learn the way we’d learned, in a working salon, on real dogs, not in a classroom.

Eventually we stopped saying “maybe one day” and just said yes properly.

We also wanted to offer something we never got ourselves. Support that didn’t disappear the moment the course ended. Proper business guidance, not just grooming technique. The confidence to actually run a sustainable business, not just how to hold the scissors.

Every student in these photos is part of that.

People who walked in curious, sometimes unsure, and left with a skill, a community, and a plan for what comes next.
