So, that’s it. 7 years after starting my dog grooming business, I groomed my last dog yesterday. Thank you so much for all of my lovely gifts, cards and kind words. I will truly miss all of the dogs that have been trusted to me and the people I have built bonds with over the years, but I do know that it is the right decision for my health and wellbeing. I have been blessed to have had the opportunity to work with so many beautiful souls 🐶

Only a fellow dog groomer can know the strain the work puts on your body and the emotional stress of grooming nervous, difficult or aggressive dogs, each with its own individual needs. Please appreciate your dog groomer people, they really do work hard for a not great wage and generally do the job because of their love of dogs.

I am moving on to help to look after the wellbeing of others around me by training in Bowen Therapy. If you’ve trusted me with your dog, then you might just trust me to help with your niggles and stresses when I qualify next year?

To my lovely customers, most of you are already aware that sadly I am needing to stop dog grooming on 6th March due to ongoing chronic back pain. I have not taken this decision lightly after 7 years of building up a small business with lovely clients and beautiful dogs. I am truly grateful that you have trusted me for all of these years and I will miss all of the dogs and the friendships I have made. I will be in touch with everyone individually over the coming weeks ❤️

So true. ICMG certification and a lifetime being brought up with dogs definitely helps my understanding of these gorgeous souls 🐶 ❤️

⚠️⚠️ SHOULD GROOMERS TRAIN IN BEHAVIOUR? ⚠️⚠️

Dog grooming is never just about clipping and styling — it’s about understanding the dog in front of you. Every groom starts with how we approach, handle, and build trust, and that means having knowledge in canine behaviour, learning theory, and communication signals. 🐾

Dogs are constantly giving us signals, and being able to recognise them can transform the way we work. When we miss those signals, we put ourselves at risk, increase stress for the dog, and make the grooming process far more challenging.

Think about it — we’re working with sharp scissors, buzzing clippers, and tools around sensitive areas of a dog’s body. If a dog is anxious, fearful, or over threshold, things can quickly escalate. That’s why knowing when to pause, step back, and give the dog (and ourselves) a breather is just as important as the technical groom itself.

At ICMG UK, safety always comes first. By learning about behaviour alongside grooming skills, you’ll not only create a calmer experience for the dog but also protect yourself and set the foundation for a successful, stress-free career. ✂️🐶💡

Because great grooming starts with great understanding. 💕

Keeping your dog’s nails regularly trimmed or roadwalked before they get too long is essential for keeping their groomer visits more pleasant. Once the kwik is caught, which is painful for them, they develop a fear of nail trimming.
