Hello, my name is Tracy Hainey and I have 7 Miniature Schnauzers - Cooper, Bea, Ethel, Una, Walter, Eadie & Ziva.  
In my spare time I show four of my dogs, Walter, Una, Eadie & Ziva. In the last 5 years all of my dogs have placed at Crufts with Una getting 2nd place in 2025 and Eadie getting 2nd place in 2026.

Why I Became a Dog Groomer……. 

We lost Mia, our first miniature schnauzer in August 2022. Mia is the reason I am grooming today!

In December 2016 Mia was diagnosed with E.coli in her urinary tract, this caused severe kidney disease and led to Mia spending New Year on dialysis at the vets, at this point we didn't know where the E.coli had come from and, once clear of the E.coli I took her back to the groomers for a tidy up, sadly three days later she was displaying all the signs again and it was confirmed the E.coli was back. The vet suggested I remove any further risk from her life, so grooming became my new hobby.
In November 2020 I trained with Amy Manser in Nottingham and gained my OCN Level 3 Diploma in dog grooming. I also hold my CPG ( Certified Professional Groomer ) qualification  

We are a 2 Students to 1 Trainer Training Salon offering iPet Network training courses. 

iPet Network are a recognised Qualification provider. 

After the problems we had with Mia, I feel that all dog groomers should be qualified having completed a form of formal training. Not understanding about cleaning equipment or handling the dogs correctly can really cause a lot of unnecessary health problems for dogs. 

I wouldn't wish anything of what Mia and our family went through after Mia contracting E.coli and basically cutting her life short.
