  • The Owner of Snuffle Dog Cafe

    As the owner of Snuffle Dog Cafe, which opened two years ago, I had a vision to integrate professional grooming services into our offerings. To ensure I could cover this position myself and evaluate future employees effectively, I decided to become a certified groomer.

    My journey with Absolutely Animals was transformative. Under the expert guidance of Callum, Christine, and Nicole, I gained comprehensive grooming skills. Within a few months, I earned my certification and immediately began working, delighting my customers with top-notch grooming services. Remarkably, I haven’t received a single complaint, and every client has rebooked.

    Absolutely Animals exceeded my expectations and proved to be worth every penny. I highly recommend their training programs to anyone serious about grooming.

    “I found the course rewarding and challenging because it was all new, especially being very hand-coordinated with the new equipment, which was a big change for me. I always felt help and guidance were always available. Callum, Nicole, Dulce, and Christine were also super knowledgeable, experienced, kind, and helpful. They were all a delight to learn from. 😊❤️” – Isabella Homm

    Dog Groomer Success Story – Scooby Doos Dog Grooming

    “I’m the owner of Scooby Doos in Eltham and I have now been grooming dogs almost three years. Prior to that, I was a retail area manager, working 24/7 and always stressed. This all changed when my husband came up with an for dog grooming with shorter waiting times. At first, I thought he was joking, but it really developed from there.

    Straight away I started to look for premises and a training school – that’s when the fun started. I was overjoyed to find somewhere so close! I started my journey at Absolutely Animals, signing up for the Platinum Dog Grooming Course. On my first day I thought I would never get it, but everyone was so friendly and helpful that by the end of my course, I felt so motivated and confident that I just knew it was the right career for me.

    I completed my City and Guilds Introduction into Dog Grooming; the hands-on experience together with the written coursework was all well-supported by the Absolutely Animals team. Their experience, knowledge, and support were amazing and all done in a friendly and approachable manner.

    The result of all this has given me a new career and allowed me to open my own business, which I absolutely love. I have new colleagues and a great support network. Thank you Heidi and absolutely animals for making it all possible”.
