I have now finished a course with Jodie and it was so incredibly enjoyable!  I came all the way from Norway to take the course and it was absolutely worth it!  with jodie we get hands on experience from day one!  also it doesn't hurt that jodie is pretty funny!  it felt like hanging out with a friend every day, not like a course!  but I learned an incredible amount and feel ready to take on the world with my new skills🤩

I recently completed my 3 week course with Jodie and it was great. I was able to practice on multiple breeds of dogs with Jodie’s help and eventually by the last week on my own. She is very knowledgeable, easy to get on with and is there to help even after your course, just at the end of the phone. I can’t wait to set up my own shop and I can’t thank Jodie enough for all of her help!😊

Can't recommend these courses highly enough. Practical and hands on from day one with excellent theoretical discussions each day. Thorough and well planned. New skills are introduced in a progressive manner with plenty of practical sessions to master them. Jodie is supportive and encouraging whilst instilling the need for good practice and high standards in all areas. It was very intensive and hard work but I enjoyed every minute Thank you Jodie.

I came from Iceland to do the 3 week course at Jodie’s groom room. I learnt so much during these weeks as I had no previous experience and got to groom many dogs of different breeds with the help of Jodie. Jodie has so much knowledge in dog grooming and is very fun to be around. I had the best time ever!!

I can’t thank you enough Jodie for making my time in Spain the most memorable and fun time ever and making me feel so at home! The people I met were amazing never mind all the super special dogs (so many breeds 😳) and I am so grateful to consider you both a friend and mentor 🩵

I thoroughly enjoyed my 10 days at Groom Room Training where we covered both practical and health related aspects of grooming. Jodie is an excellent teacher. She lined up a comprehensive list of dogs of various breeds for us to work on, ensuring intense yet satisfying days. I have gained tremendous insights and confidence, and I have lost my fear of cutting nails! I am moving back to Canada and looking forward to opening my own dog grooming studio. Thank you Jodie.

Excellent teacher, so many breeds to train on. i was going to do a 6 month course in Norway, but have learnt so much here for a fraction of the cost, and have no doubts about my future.

I completed my grooming course with Jodie in February and it was the best.  Jodie is very friendly and knowledgeable. She is encouraging throughout the course and lets you be very hands on. We had a variety of dog breeds and covered a lot of different techniques. Even though the course is now over, Jodie has continued to support me. Thank you so much.

The most amazing tutor inspiring with how she grooms dogs and her knowledge on all breeds is just immense. I now feel so much more confident and actually believe in myself which is all down to Jodies tutoring, she really is amazing and I'm so grateful for how patient you were throughout the whole course. If anyone is looking to become a groomer I can highly Jodie is so talented and recommend Jodie as a tutor

For many years I wanted to change profession, from a hairdresser to dog groomer, and after being in contact with Jodies dog groom room I booked the course. Can honestly say lots of hands on experience from day 1 technical skills, dog handling. Jodie explains everything in detail and is a fabulous patient tutor. Would reccomend to anyone looking to train as a dog groomer.

I have gone from having no grooming experience prior to the course to having a successful mobile business following the course. Jodie is a very good teacher with lots of patience and energy, she explains things clearly and with lots of demonstrations, Don't worry if you do not get it first time jodie will go over things as often as you need. She will not only teach you how to groom but also how to handle a dog, where to hold etc, Although it is a course to learn, it is also very fun being in the groom room with jodie, when you finish your course you won't want to leave. Fully recommend this course if you want a future with dogs and grooming.

highly recommend this course to anyone interested in working with dogs of all breeds. It's very interesting, informative and covers all aspects of dog grooming. It's a hard work hands on practical course, which is very enjoyable and rewarding. Jodie is very knowledgeable and patient in her teaching and experience and a excellent dog groomer! 🙂👍

I recently finished my 3 week intensive course with Jodie, I really enjoyed it and I loved that it was very hands on and working with just Jodie not knowing what dog was coming in from one day to the next, there was a few surprises a long the way but never a dull moment 🙂 I loved every minute and Jodie gave me alot of confidence and encouragement every day I was there. Thanks again Jodie for your trust in me 🙂 and sharing your extensive knowledge and your huge passion for dog grooming. I have learnt so much in the 3 weeks working with you.

I would highly recommend Jodies training course. She covered all aspects of grooming on a wide range of breeds in a hands on and closely supervised environment. Jodie is a wonderful teacher..she is patient and encouraging and made the entire experience so much fun!.

“Completing my training at Jodie’s Groom Room was such a brilliant way to learn about all the different breeds and styles, with a hands on approach where you're learning in a grooming salon setting, as opposed to out of a book. Jodie is friendly, professional and made learning easy and fun! I don't feel I would have got as much practical experience anywhere else and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to train as a dog groomer.”

Trained with Jodie a couple of years ago. Hands on experience from day one, on all breeds., learning all different types of cuts. Highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to make dog grooming their profession.

I did a three weeks grooming course with Jodie and really loved it. She is an amazing teacher and I learned so much. From day one you get a lot of practical experience as well as theoretical background knowledge. As you are taught directly in her very well-functioning salon and can work with her, you get valuable professional information as well as advice on how to organise a business. I was able to start working immediately after I completed my course. I highly recommend her!!!

Alke Mallorca

For Icelandic women who decided to learn dog grooming I found Jode😁 and I don't regret it because she is a great teacher for all big and small things there I didn’t know how to do 😁and these weeks has went by very quickly and I will recommend you to everyone , thank you so much for the time 🥰🥰 

Jonina Iceland

To everyone who wants to get into the grooming business: You've come to the right place!!! As always, I had my doubts beforehand - because you are often overwhelmed with theory and in the end you haven't really learned much. So on the first day of the course I actually packed a writing pad and pen and prepared myself for a few dry theory lessons...😂 Instead: After the warm welcome - immediately put on your apron and let's go...🥳 Jodie introduces you to grooming step by step, I learned a lot of new things every day! I also thought it was great that you got to work with different breeds of dogs every day. You can work very independently but of course Jodie always keeps an eye on her charges and puppies. She explains everything necessary at the same time and answers all questions very patiently. For me personally, a dream has come true: With the skills I learned in the 3-week course, I was able to immediately become self-employed as a groomer! To this day, Jodie is always there for me, no matter how much stress she has on site! If I have any problems or questions, she always answers me immediately! If I could give 10 points, she would absolutely deserve it!! Thank you, dear Jodie, for the great time with you and for always being there to advise me...🥰

I have recently completed a three week course with Jodie at the Groom Room in Spain. Having had a rotten experience completing a boat licence in altea recently I was reeaaallly nervous about being totally reliant upon one person to help me learn a new trade in what could have been a long three weeks. The absolute truth is that I never wanted it to end. I have fallen in love with Dog Grooming. Much like you tend to enjoy the subjects in school that have the coolest teachers? I had the most gifted dog groomer as a teacher, her knowledge and the way she glides through a beautiful groom left me wanting to replicate it every time. But what made me wana stay longer was that she made me feel really comfortable and confident in grooming. I knew I was ready when she told me and that she had the knowledge to help if I made a boo-boo. She never raised her voice once and was happy to reconfirm information as much as I needed. Dont attend Jodie’s course if… You have a disposition to fun. You don’t love dogs. You don’t love singing whilst grooming. You don’t like laughing. You don’t love dipping celery into things never made for celery. But mostly… Do attend her course if… You have a desire to be an excellent dog groomer. You want to learn from a fantastic natural trainer. You want to get a six pack from laughing too much. Loved it. And miss it already

I contacted Jodie after I bought a grooming salon and needed a proper training to be able to have my own salon going smoothly and get the confidence when grooming on my own. I am so happy that I jumped on this course, she is a really good teacher and so easy to get on with. I gained my confidence and I came home so ready to get back to business. Even after the course she is always happy to answer and help. Recommend 100%

Hildur Iceland

One of the best choices I’ve made. I completed a thorough intensive grooming course with Jodie and is exactly what is needed to give you an insight to what it is like to own your own business as well as understanding the demand and pressures of being a dog groomer. It was exactly what I was hoping it would be and that was being practical, being focussed and thorough. Jodie made the experience. She knows the answers, she knows the business. Would recommend 100x over. Good luck x

I have recently completed the three week training with Jodie and can highly recommend her professional services. From the very first day you experience hands on practical training in both the dog grooming techniques and skills as well as the vital support on the day to day running of a busy successful dog grooming business. There is no substitute for personal one on one training and I would highly recommend working with the vast experience of Jodie. In addition the advice and guidance regarding the practical how to as well as what equipment do I need ensures you don’t make expensive mistakes when starting up on your own. And finally what a friendly fun atmosphere to train in, enjoyed every minute 😀

A Fantastic Experience at Jodies International Training Centre. What a positive and supportive experience I had at Jodie’s Groom Room while embarking on my new career as a professional dog groomer! From the very first day, the course was hands-on, giving me the confidence and practical skills needed to succeed in this industry. Originally, I booked the three-week course, but due to the incredibly positive environment and my desire to hone my skills further, I decided to extend my training. This was one of the best decisions I made, as it allowed me to refine my techniques and gain even more hands-on experience on a wide variety of dogs. The training covered all aspects of grooming, from proper dog handling techniques to mastering breed-specific styles. I also received invaluable advice on selecting top-quality equipment, ensuring I invest in the right tools for the job. Jodie’s 17 years of experience truly shone through in her teaching. She was patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to share insider tips that only come with years of hands-on experience. Her passion for grooming and dedication to her students made learning both enjoyable and rewarding. I highly recommend Jodie’s International Training Centre to anyone looking to start a career in dog grooming. The skills, knowledge, and confidence I gained from this course have been invaluable, and I feel fully prepared to take on my new career with enthusiasm! Thank you Jodie ! Xxx

Wow where do I start! I decided to do the 15 day course with Jodie and it was the best decision I’ve ever made! Not only was it very hands on from day one but also it was a good laugh🤣I loved every moment of the course from start to finish with the amazing Jodie and Ellie and all the beautiful dogs I was able to groom. I was able to groom a wide range of breeds and Jodie was the most amazing teacher! By week 3 I was able to do full grooms confidentially! I am now ready to start up my own business thanks to Jodie! I also was lucky enough to stay in the beautiful apartment Jodie offers within the course. The apartment is so lovely and within walking distance to the groom room! I’d give 100 stars if I could❤️ I will be back for more good laughs!

I have just completed a 15 day course with Jodie. And what can I say. Simply the Best. You are given first hand support and experience in grooming dogs of all shapes and sizes. Jodie is on hand to ensure you achieve the highest standards, and goes above and beyond to give you additional information about products and equipment. All done with patience and a smile.
I left feeling well equipped to do the job. One week on and I’ve opened my new studio. I even contacted Jodie via FaceTime to get her to check my work. Now that's what I call ongoing support. I can’t recommend her highly enough whether you want to start a business or just learn to groom your own dog. Learn from the best. You are a superstar Jodie xx

Mairead, 

I really enjoyed my time with Jodie at her dog grooming school. Jodie offers invaluable hands on experience with a range of dog breeds.  It is practical from the start from bathing, drying and clipping, building up as you go along to all the grooming needs. Jodie works at the students individual pace with encouragement and guidance when required.   She lets you get on with it while keeping an eye and is ready to assist or jump in if needed. She clearly cares about dogs, and she is skilled, proficient and kind.  I was also impressed with how she will continue to be in touch and give advice to her past students when they start their own grooming work.  Although I went with no real plan for my own grooming future I feel I benefited from the course immensely.  The overall atmosphere is calm and happy.  I'm an introvert so don't be put of with all the singing reviews!  It is great fun even if you don't sing!  Jodie has a beautiful voice. Loved all that dog company, very hands on and great fun.  My biggest surprise was how good the dogs were!  I can recommend! Thank you Jodie 

After deciding to change my job I decided to take advantage of Jodie’s dog grooming course & it’s the best thing I have done. D

I came all the way from Iceland to do the 20 day course at Jodie’s groom room and it was such a great experience! 🐶✂️ I learned so much, from proper grooming techniques to handling different types of dogs. Jodie is super kind and made every day really fun. I feel way more confident now, and I’m so glad I decided to do it. If you love dogs and want to learn how to groom them properly, I totally recommend it! 💕

Thank you very much to Jodie for a great morning teaching me how to do maintenance grooms with Mitzi. It was a great experience Jodie is excellent at explaining and demonstrating how to use scissors and clippers. Above all extremely patient and great at offering encouragement. I learned loads and also enjoyed it and Mitzi enjoyed it too! Thoroughly recommend this day course.

Wow where do I start!! What a fab training course it has been. From the start Jodie has been fun and knowledgeable, teaching me what I need to know to set off on my own adventure.
Anybody thinking of going with Jodie, you won’t regret it! I have had an amazing experience, and learnt so many things.
I took the 20 days course as I was a beginner, and at the beginning I thought how can I learn anything in 20 days, but I did!! I learnt a lot more than I thought I would, with Jodie’s help and guidance.
I stayed in the apartment that Jodie has to offer, what a cute little place with everything you need for the duration of your stay, with the added bonus of being a 10 minute walk to the groom room.
Thank you to Jodie xx

Vicki

Wow, what an experience. Just spent over 3 weeks training with Jodie and not only did I have fun I learnt lots too. Great atmosphere in the salon and as it was always busy there were plenty of dogs to practise on. Jodie was always on hand to guide me, never made me feel uncomfortable and gave me the confidence I needed. Her little apartment was lovely and in a perfect location, close to the salon and local amenities. Thank you Jodie, you’re a star.
