Previously working as a manager of a busy kennels, Ceri has come across many different breeds along the way. She is now City and Guilds qualified in dog grooming but uses her experience of behaviour and training to recognise how to settle and relax the animal in an otherwise potentially stressful environment. By obtaining a Postgraduate certificate in Clinical Animal Behaviour from the University of Lincoln and putting this into everyday situations, it has allowed us to explore the cause of a wide portfolio of behaviours in an in depth manner with the aim of helping the animal and owner work together in harmony. In recent months Ceri has become a member of the International Professional Groomers association who are the body who certify International Certified Master Groomers. As apart of this journey there are a code of ethics to be followed where your dog and its welfare has to come first along with many other important ethics. Ceri has begun her journey to hopefully become an International Certified Master Groomer (ICMG), completing 6 exams currently with the following results: Certified Salon Professional Written (96%), Certified Salon Professional Practical (97%) meaning that Ceri is now a Certified Salon Professional. She has also taken her Mixed breed practical (98%) and written (100%). The next stage is breed specific exams and Ceri has achieved her Terrier practical (91%) and Gundog practical (92%) continuing with great results. She will continue to work towards becoming a Master Groomer over the next couple of years, constantly striving to become a better groomer to make your dogs look the best they can.
