ABOUT
My Name is Stephanie Pina LCGI ;
I have been a dedicated holistic dog groomer for 20 years. I previously owned Canine Barbers Dog Grooming Salon before progressing to open Tendring Dog Grooming Training Academy. I have 14 years teaching experience which I gained through teaching dog grooming courses at Otley College, these courses were very successful with a high pass rate.
Previous to entering the dog grooming industry I worked with rescue dogs, during this time I had the opportunity to learn and understand the working of a dog’s mind and understand their body language. This experience allows me to adapt or change the environment to keep your dog calm and happy.

GROOMING
Courses
After teaching Dog Grooming for a number of years, I have firm and practiced methods of the best way of learning the trade. It is more or less based on 90% practical experience,with a small amount of theory work covered.
At all times there will be a maximum of four students, so very much a highly focused method of one to one tuition is given. I am devoted to teaching to the highest of standards that I practice in my own work as a Canine Beautician contributing to the rising success of my own business Canine Barbers Dog Grooming.
We aim to cater for the complete novice groomer up to a more experienced groomer wanting to inprove their skills.​We can also offer bespoke training courses, giving you the opportunity to design your own grooming programme.
