If Searching Sally is anything like 88% of consumers, her final choice will rely on Google Reviews. This will be good or bad news for you depending on how your reviews are currently tracking, but we’re here to help!

As dog groomers, upgrading or replacing our tools is an ongoing part of the job. Sites like Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree, and local buy–swap–sell pages have become all the more popular to snag a bargain or sell your own used and unused equipment. But what isn’t ever written in the fine print of the product description is the harrowing fact that scammers are becoming much more sophisticated.

We get it. We have all had days where clients push every button you have. But here is something you might not want to hear… it might actually be your fault.

Picking the right training path comes down to what your team needs right now.

Most grooming brands genuinely want to support groomers. That’s the circle the industry runs on - businesses back the people who use and recommend their products, and groomers support the companies that show up for the community.

But support works both ways. If you want a business to come to the party, you need to make it easy for them to say yes.

The oodle head - that round, expressive, soft-eyed result that owners show you photos of on their phones, is often the thing groomers spend the most time worrying about. 

Here’s what most people don’t see. And what every good groomer knows.

Without a mandatory baseline, people find other ways to legitimise themselves. Some cling to who trained them, how long they’ve been grooming, or their standing in the community. Others tear down those who do things differently to protect their own position.

Apparently burnout is just an excuse. If you haven’t landed a brand deal or sponsorship, it’s because you don’t deserve one. And if you're not where you want to be, it's because you’re not working hard enough.

We’ve all had that call (well… many) from clients wanting to push back their winter grooming appointment.

“I don’t want Fluffy to get cold!”
