Debbie Cray
Director
With over 30 Years of experience in the animal industry Debbie has 15 years experience working in the Veterinary hospitals to 5 years in the corporate grooming industry to 10 years owning two very successful grooming salon and employing many groomers.
Through her journey and love for dog grooming she found a real shortage of quality grooming professionals in an industry that continues to grow.
Being in the business she understands what employers look for when hiring new groomers. Some schools teach up to 10 students at a time and some do it as quick as 4 weeks which she feels is just not enough time to feel comfortable and ready before entering the field.
With all of this knowledge she has developed a simple real world training program to prepare you for your new career in 12 weeks.
