Hello, my name is Rhiain here's a little bit about myself, I’m a friendly independent groomer who works one to one with your beloved dog in a grooming parlour perfectly quaint in my own garden. I've had over a year’s experience in dog grooming becoming fully qualified and earning my City & Guilds level 2&3 which includes first aid.

My decision to become a dog groomer embarked 3 years ago when I realised the passion I have for dogs, and my surprising natural talent to groom my own Cavachon struck a new idea for me to train as a groomer. Since opening my grooming salon I realised this is my dream job and I'm not looking back!

 Before becoming a dog groomer, I was a carer and well suited to the roll as I am caring by nature and continue to be by putting your dog’s needs first as each pooch is different and require different grooming techniques.
