Shaun Leach, our main tutor, has been a dog groomer for over 20 years and runs a very busy grooming parlour along with his Partner, Shane Boniface. He has also shown Poodles for himself for this period and other breeds for other people. Shaun holds a City & Guilds 7750 and is working towards the Advanced Grooming Diploma and the City & Guilds Teacher Training Diploma. He is also a member of the Pet Care Trust and the British Grooming Association. Previously Shaun has also taught Intermediate and Advanced grooming at Houghall College in Durham but resigned as he felt the need to concentrate wholly on the increasingly popular training courses held at Scruffy Pups. We are getting students from all over the U.K and abroad, as our reputation grows. Since opening Scruffy Pups five years ago, the customer base has increased ten-fold, with customers travelling for miles to get their dog groomed, on average there are twelve new customers every week, so there is virtually every breed of dog through the door to practice on.
Scruffy Pups is renowned for its in-depth coverage of all aspects of the business and its friendly, warm, welcoming staff.
Should you choose an alternative grooming school please ensure that they hold a City & Guilds qualification in dog grooming. Ensure you pay for the standard of training you deserve.
If after viewing our website you feel you would like to do a twenty or thirty two day course with us, we now expect students to do our taster day first, we have found with experience this is best for all concerned, and lets you see if this is going to be a suitable career for yourself without committing to spend a great deal of money first, you will pay for the day but the fee is taken off your full course fee, so it works out you are getting it free, so you have nothing to lose.
