I could not wait to chat to this duo Alyssa and Justin wasn’t only on Pooch Perfect USA they also made it all the way to the final. It was so nice to talk to this humble couple and chat about there talents but also how vulnerable they both came across on the show which in my opinion won the hearts of many including mine. As Justin said to Alyssa all the time YOU GOT THIS and your amazingly talented. If I can be honest again I hope Alyssa knows how talented snd loved she is. Through all her anxie...

Lisa Gill from Savvy was my guest today and we chatted about what Savvy can do for you when it comes to online booking systems . I found this chat interesting and also a must have for any groomer no matter how long they have been in the industry. There are a few options starting at £15 per month but let me just say GO with the £40 a month option as you get a website with it and this is what every groomer needs as a nice website is what drives most company’s forward . Have a listen and take your ...

The million dollar question... Should I become qualified? Well what can I say apart from I think iPET Network just might be the new way forward! Fern and Sarah are forward thinking and are ticking all the right boxes in my opinion. Let’s be honest, they are groomers who have done all the hard work and now have a set of Ofqual regulated qualifications and that in its self is not an easy process. Education can be fun and there is no reason to be scared of progressing and bettering yourself. To fin...

Andrew makes clear the meaning of the word consent when used by groomers.
