Debby Knight

My name is Debby Knight. I am the owner and trainer at The Bristles Dog Grooming. We are a Pet Care Trade Association Accredited Grooming Training Centre. We are a busy grooming salon located in Oswestry, Shropshire, on the beautiful Welsh border. I have a maximum of 2 students training on any day, ensuring one to one tuition. I have been grooming for over 40 years, in the UK and USA. When in Las Vegas, I groomed for the likes of Liberace, Kenny Kerr and Wayne Newton. I also groomed the white tigers of Sigfreid and Roy (Actually it was just their house cats).

 

In the UK, I groomed Tatiana de Bellevita's (fashion designer for Ralph Lauren) Afgan hound, Baron, and Simon Gilbert's (drummer for Suede) Labrador, George, along with other well know people.

 

I attend many grooming seminars and competitions, held both here and in US. Oct 2011 I attended a weeks training at The Paragon Pet Grooming School, in Michigan, and spent time with both Melissa VerPlank (author of Notes From The Grooming Table to name a few) and her Husband Marc Lefleur.

 

I have shown many breeds, to include Standard Poodles, Boston Terriers and Russian Black Terriers .

 

Are you are looking for personalized one to one training with unlimited, on going support after training? Do you not want to train with dozens of other students? Do you want to learn the latest techniques and use state of the art equipment?

 

I will help you become a successful Dog Stylist. In return you will be required to work hard. The training is intensive, but so rewarding. Your success is my success. I am passionate about my business.

 

Please have a look at what other students and customers say about us and then call, email or visit.
