Client Testimonials

David with Zeus

I found Absolutely Animals as I passed by and went in to inquire as my dog, Zeus - a dog de Bordeux, had contracted a fungal infection. The staff were knowledgeable, helpful and wonderful in assisting me. Thank you Absolutely Animals!

Mike with Bessie

I have been coming to Absolutely Animals for 6 years and know Bessie is well treated, loved and always returns with a top quality haircut. I wouldn't dream of taking my dog anywhere else. I am also happy with students learning on my dog as i know they are well supervised and instructed.

Bette with Barney

I have been coming to Heidi since 1997, which is the best recommendation I can give. I am very fussy about my groomer and Heidi is the best! My dogs always 'chomp at the bit' to get into the shop. The students are friendly, polite, well turned out and are lucky to be taught by true professionals.

Learner Review

“I have completed the gold course of dog grooming and now I watch some other professional dog groomers videos online and I ask “Why aren’t they using the right technique instead of making it all difficult for them self and for the dog??” And that’s when I realise that NOT EVERYONE WAS TRAINED AT ABSOLUTELY ANIMALS DOG GROOMING SCHOOL!!! got a lot more out the course than I payed for! The course fee is not cheap but you get a lot more than you’d expect! Tonnes of knowledge! I got tools I can start working with straight away! Tonnes of knowledges on different techniques, Confidence building practise and a big variety of dogs to learn on, AMAZING PEOPLE TO LEARN FROM! If I struggle with something I just picture them doing it and it all comes back to me it was great fun to be part of the team! I want to come back also I wasn’t in the best place when I started the course but the whole team was so supportive and encouraging, I can not thank you enough for what I have taken away from the whole experience!” –

Learner Review

“I could not recommend anywhere else to get your grooming certificate.
Do not fool yourself with cheaper courses. The money you invest here is for a profession for a lifetime because you will leave as a skilled groomer.
Christine and the team are so knowledgeable and they guide and teach every single detail you need to know.
I got my level 2 certificate and I’m now working full time as a groomer and I could not be happier.
Their grooming is the best I’ve ever seen! It’s like flawless.
So if you want to learn from the best this is the place!”
