Sophie Foxton Ray 2016
“I absolutely loved my time at Absolutely Animals. Heidi, Christine and Kay have been of the upmost support, I have laughed until I cried, learned things I can’t believe I now know, and developed as a person. I have come out of the course devastated to leave Absolutely Animals yet feeling prepared and supported for my future and know I will always have help and advice at hand. I can not recommend the team here more for their incredible skill, patience, knowledge and their general disposition. I feel extremely privileged to have been trained by Heidi & Christine.” – Sophie Foxton Ray 2016

Change of Career Review by Inara Pavare 2017
” I was looking for a career change and wanted to train as a professional dog groomer. I am very pleased I chose Absolutely Animals as my grooming school.The whole atmosphere in the school is very friendly and you feel welcome.I was not very confident at the start of the course, but Heidi and Christine helped me to build my confidence. They guided, encouraged and supported me in my learning from day one. They were always happy to answer any questions I had and always willing to share their valuable knowledge with me and the other students. It was nice to feel that no one was judging you, but supporting and helping you to develop your grooming skills whilst creating an enjoyable environment to learn in. Heidi and Christine were always there for me even after the course had finished. I could always call and ask for advice, which is really nice and important.I have absolutely no regrets I did this course and that I did it with Christine and Heidi. I would highly recommend Absolutely Animals for anyone who wants to become a professional groomer, receive a high quality education and enjoy the whole experience”. Inara Pavare 2017 -

Absolutely Animals – would give it 6 stars if I could. Super Dog Grooming School
“I started and completed the 22-day Gold Course at Absolutely Animals at the end of 2017 and cannot recommend them highly enough. The practical experience starts on day one under the expert guidance of Heidi and Christine, supported by their excellent staff, Kay in particular is brilliant. They have a huge client base and no two days are the same. The course is also designed to facilitate you to start your own business. I started my own business www.mrpawsandclaws.com as soon as I completed the course and what I found really helpful was the additional information and advice they provide, the tricks of the trade and what the best products and equipment to use are, most of which they can source for you at very competitive prices. I have happy clients and this is thanks to Absolutely Animals and the great team who trained me. If you are looking for a grooming course, or indeed are looking for a groomer for your dog, look no further – you’ve found the right place.” Karl Merrick 2017

Review from Kamila Poniatowska 2019
“I did my grooming course in Absolutely Animals and it’s the best place ever, the whole team were lovely and helpful. I’ve leant how to groom dogs to a very high standard which pays off now as I work on my own and get busier and busier every day. Heidi and Christine are so professional and supportive, as they want us to do our best. I also attended the Cleany Teeth seminar and that was brilliant too. Heidi explained everything very clearly and Christine demonstrated it very well.
I highly recommend all services provided by Absolutely Animals and I’d like to thank all of them for supporting me throughout the course and I’m now in my best job ever.”

Gary’s Story
Hi peeps,
If you’re looking for some of the best dog grooming courses in the UK bar none, then you’ll find them here at Absolutely Animals 🤗.
The immensely talented team of Heidi, Christine, Nicole, Callum, Kay, and Izzy, (who combined can boast an impressive 50+ years of experience in the industry), will patiently lead you through everything you’ll need to know to become the groomer you aspire to be. I’ve personally just completed my level 2 training, including styling with AA’s, and can confirm IMHO that this legendary establishment is 100% the real deal!What I loved most about the course was that from the very beginning I experienced a professionally supervised, step-by-step hands-on role, that ultimately encompassed all aspects of the business.Boasting an enviable decades-long client list it’s no wonder the variety of dogs I had the pleasure of working with was amazing, I’m certain I fell in love with a new dog every day❤️.
Finally, I’m convinced that the knowledge and experience you’ll take away with you will be a solid and caring foundation on which to build your career, good luck, and happy grooming. All the Best, Garry 2021 -
The Journey of Becoming a Dog Groomer Review
“Completing your City & Guilds course at Absolutely Animals is just the beginning of your journey into the world of grooming – you never really leave the nest entirely! Heidi and Christine always have their door open for friendly advice, support and encouragement when you need it. This is invaluable to anyone embarking on a new career. Further courses are always on offer to develop and gain more skills, and the Student Grooming Group Facebook page is a place to ask questions, share experiences and offer advice to fellow students (past and present). Well done Absolutely Animals, you have a winning formula!” Debbie Granger

A Review From a Lone Groomer
“The aftercare service is a unique and valuable facility to those who need any help and support to continue the excellent courses supplied by Absolutely Animals. As a lone groomer, it’s reassuring that Heidi and Christine are on-hand to assist if needed. Would highly recommend the fabulous school and all it offers for a rewarding onward career!” Amanda Hyde

Training for Many Years…
“After training with Heidi many years ago, her team has been of continual support since I did my course way back when. I remember a few times calling them from work in a panic, asking for help (usually with handstripping!) and they were always so helpful. It’s nice to see on the student Facebook page that people are still receiving the aftercare that I did. It’s not just a course you get at Absolutely Animals, it’s also continued and free membership to a group of supportive individuals who work together to help each other succeed in a new trade.” Caroline Cogan
