Testimonials

Cathy Chandler from Essex, UK

I was taught to a very high standard, Rachel made it very clear in explaining things. I am confident with the grooming techniques used and two dogs was more than enough to have as models in one day. Very pleased with the variety of breeds, I do not feel I have missed anything.
I am confident now to clip and scissor pets on my own. I have a business structure in place and excited to get started with it.
I have enjoyed my time at Posh Pets and Rachel is such a good trainer, she makes you feel comfortable and confident in what you do, lovely lady and i feel that if I have a problem I can call her for advice. Thank you Rachel and not forgetting Victoria.

P.S I still cannot believe what is involved in grooming and Rachel covers everything and answers any questions thoroughly. x

Angela Ellis from Worcestershire, UK

The standard of teaching was excellent. The techniques for grooming was varied and thorough. Really good range of breeds, would be very difficult to fit anymore in in 10 days. I am definately confident enough to scissor and clip on my own.
I am ready to put into practice everything I have learnt and been taught. I have a business structure in mind when I get home.

In house Accommodation:
Excellent accommodation and lovely food, just too much. Thank you Les!!
I was made to feel very much at ease, with comfortable surroundings and an environment that has given me confidence in your teaching Rachel. I would recommend to anyone!!

Susan Mercati from Cheltenham, UK

I found the standard of teaching very high. The course is intensive. That is what I signed up for and that is what you get!!

The course is hands on from the start, this gives you the confidence as you see your own results. Of course there will be breed types that will be new to us but I was constantly surprised by the variety of dogs used on the course. I am ready to scissor & clip on my own dog and clients pets. I am confident in the use of all the equipment. I have a business structure all in plan now. I was very happy with the accommodation and very happy with the food. Day 1 we learnt to prep, bath and groom a beautiful Estrela. By day 9 I prepped, bathed, clipped & trimmed a standard poodle!! Amazing!!

I will have achieved my goal when “The Dog Hut” is fully booked.

The course has been everything and more than I hoped it would be. I have also had my eyes opened to this beautiful part of Spain.

Thanks again Rachel & Les x

Diane Warby from Tring, Hertfordshire, UK

I thought Rachel taught to an exceptional standard and was always happy to help. I learnt so much in the time here it exceeded my expectations. Learning in a working salon and the variety of dogs was great and I do not think I missed anything in the training. I am definitely ready to clip and scissor in on my own. I have a good knowledge of tools now and I know how to use them. I have a mobile grooming business ready to start with all the help & excellent tuition of “Posh Pets Spain”.

Thank you so much for your kind help, understanding and care. Excellent tuition and would recommend to anyone.

Thanks again Rachel & Les x

Completed the Groomers course 6th June to 18th June 2016

Sandie Coulson from Minster, Kent, UK

The standard of teaching in the second week was good, I felt supported and was given clear instruction. To be trained by a perfectionist is hard but good. I am confident although I will definitely practise before starting on my own. I feel I have been shown a fantastic range of techniques at a good speed. I was more than happy with the range of breeds and a good range of temperaments. The help given with what to buy, what not and helpful tips were brilliant.
No improvements it was absolutely lovely, welcoming, comfortable great.
The accommodation was fantastic- the food was just so much!! I completely feel I have achieved what I came for. Thank you so much you are both lovely people, a loving family and I feel honoured to have worked with you.

10 day groomers course 8th June 2015

Elina Virtanen from Abu Dhabi

Coming to Posh Pets for the 2 week Hair off the Dog course, I was expecting to be worked hard – and I was! I had no previous grooming experience, but Rachel is a very competent groomer and mentor, so even though we hit the ground running with practical training from day one, I felt comfortable. The coverage of the course was broad, as I would work on dogs from start to finish, with a variety of breed, size, coat types and client requirements. At the end of the course I was exhausted, but left feeling confident about starting my own grooming practice. 

Regarding my overall stay – I honestly was not expecting to enjoy the 2 weeks as much as I did. My room and facilities were lovely. The location is gorgeous, lush and green. I really appreciate how welcome I was made to feel in their home. 
I came to Posh Pets to learn, which I did – and in addition, I met many lovely people in a beautiful setting. Thank you for everything Posh Pets team!
