Testimonials
What my trainees thought about my course
Y
“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.
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.
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.
Well what can I say. Jodie was absolutely fabulous and anyone thinking of a proffesion in dog grooming should definitely go with Jodie. She explains everything and you are very hands on from the start. I would like to thank her from the bottom of my heart for all she has taught me and for her patience and knowledge. She is truly one in a Million xxx
This was the best few weeks ever, big THANKYOU to you jodie, had the best laughs and amazing duets
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
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 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.
I trained with Jodie's Groom Room & Teeth Cleaning for three weeks April 2023. Jodie is an amazing teacher and groomer. Jodie is patient and thorough with her trainees.
