After successful completion of Certificate II in Animal and Laboratory Techniques, at Gilles Plains TAFE in 2003, I began grooming animals at a grooming salon situated in Willunga, South Australia. There i was trained to wash, dry and clip all breeds of dogs cats and rabbits to a very high standard, using professional equipment such as a hydrobath and blow dryers. After only 6mths i was then running a second shop for the owner down at Encounter Bay. I successfully ran the shop for 2 1/2 years prior to taking time off to have my son. The shop had built up such a large clientel while i had been managing it, that the owners were then able to sell the second shop at Encounter Bay. After relocating to Morphett Vale after having my son, i then worked for a grooming business in Christies Beach for 2 1/2 years. I have recently left that position to pursue other interests aswell as providing the grooming services from the comfort of my own home with alternate hours to a salon.

It can contains grass seeds which can feel like a pin cushion when your animal sleeps. If you dog becomes wet with a matted coat, it will take days to dry in cooler weather therfore being a fabulous breeding ground for bacteria and fungi, this causing skin irritations and infections.
