About Us
Jo
City & Guilds
My Mum and Dad have bred Rough Collies all my life (Aspera). We had a lot of success with numerous best puppies best of breeds res CCs and CCs. As I was growing up I went to many of the top kennels of the time as a kennel’s maid and learnt many skills and tips on learning dog behaviour. I also went to many boarding kennels to help out. When I left school in 1990 I went to Charney Kennels (now The Grooming Room in Oxford) to train to be a professional groomer. I trained for 6 months, 6 days a week and passed my written test gaining 100% and my practical diploma gaining A-.
In 2007 I went to my first competition Southeast Groomer with Pippa Capes ( Tibeaten Terrier) were I won my class and then Groomer of the Year were I also won my class with Petra a Boarder Terrier. Also in 2007 I took my City and Guilds which I passed first time. I am now starting my higher level diploma.
Steve
I came on board 4 Years ago. Jo and I were married a few years prior and have always had a passion for animals so it seemed the ideal opportunity to join businesses as we started to get busier and clients requested more services from us such as dog walking day creche. We attended courses to learn how to micro chip animals and learn more about animal behaviour. I pride myself on the services we provide and the quality of service.
