What my trainees thought about my course

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 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 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.

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.

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.

“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.”
