⭐️ Happy Monday everyone. ⭐️

Below are some updates regarding bookings and a few changes.

I am starting to book out a couple weeks in advance now as its just me grooming all the doggies again.
Bec is off to start her own business adventure, and we wish her the very best!

So if you can pre book i highly recommend doing so, as it might get a bit busy as soon as spring hits!

My current working days are Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. And soon Tuesdays will be also available.
I will put a post up as soon as i know when that is!

Yes i am still accepting new clients at the moment, but this may change in a couple of months.

Yes its only August.... But as for next year, im a bit unsure what days ill be working due to Austin starting Kinda and Jacob possibly getting a new job.
I am happy to pre book appointments for next year, but things may change!

Hope you all have a lovely week, and please enjoy this cute boy Milo who has been staying with us the past 2 weeks. 😍

Omg this is just to bloody funny because its so true! 😂

The amount of times we get text messages saying "Dont listen to what the husband says, he has no idea"
or the husband saying "i dont know, call the wife" or "just shave it all off" and once the husband walks off we laugh and do what we always do. 😂😂😂

So funny!

Price Restructure!

Hey everyone,
I am having a price restructure coming, some services are the same price and some will go up a couple of dollars.

But before i lock them in i would like to give everyone a chance to lock in my current prices.

To lock in the current price you will need to pre book all appointments till December by the end of this month. This is for regular and new clients!

Come July 1st my new prices will start for new clients, and come September 1st they will start for current clients who haven't pre booked up till December to lock in my current prices.... Does that make sense? 🤣

If you would like to pre book or have any questions regarding the price restructure txt or message me!

Hello to my wonderful clients and their Pooches.

Get comfy because this is a long one! 😘

Some of you are new but most of you have been coming to me for years.
A lot have returned with new additions, and even dogs iv been grooming for over a decade! 🫣

If it wasnt for the support and love from you all I would not be where i am today.

Because of you i have been able to achieve so much not just in the grooming industry but also in life!
I have made some lifelong friends that started out as clients.
I have met clients from many different industries that have helped me get to where i am. (Litterally the house i am sitting in while i type this)

My grooming career started when i had just turned 17 and got a summer job as a dog bathing at a big chain store in Geelong, and what i thought was going to be a stepping stone to my "dream job" of become a vet nurse.

After my first day of washing dogs i can remember my mum picking me up and i told her i could do this job for the rest of my life! I was hooked from my first day.

I went from a bather in a chain store working 6 days a week to the lead groomer at a local vet clinic where i managed a small team of groomers.

After 5 years of grooming, I decided to try a different career path. I went and worked in Aged Care for just under 12 months but I was busting to get a pair of clippers back into my hand and realised quick smart that grooming was the job for me.

I saw an advertisement for someone selling their mobile dog grooming business. Within a week or two I was at the bank taking out a huge loan to buy this trailer at the age of 22.
Zero business experience, had no idea how to tow a trailer...or own a car that could tow one!
Classic Amy style.... "I'll figure that out as I go" 😂

This was when the world of grooming really opened up for me.

It wasn't long until my little business took off, I was booked out weeks in advance and I thought "Why not go open a salon?" I signed a lease to a shop front in 2016 and that's when "The Dog House" was born!

I worked my tail off in that salon.
We had some full crazy days in there thats for sure.
Blood sweat and tears went into that salon LOTS of tears.

In this time I really saw the art in grooming and needed to learn more. I loved learning!
I traveled around Victoria meeting and training with some of Australia's best groomers, waking up crazy early in the morning to drive hours, and volunteering my time in other groomers' salons so I could learn new things.
Paying hundreds of dollars to have one on one lessons with Australia's top groomers. I couldn't stop, I needed to learn more!

I started entering into grooming competitions. Oh man, these were fun! A lot of work, but so much fun!

Setting alarms for 2.30am in the morning to start prepping dogs for that days competition.
Leaving for Sydney on a Friday morning with 3 people and 5 dogs all squished in one car. We drove all day with many toilet stops along the way, to compete all day Saturday and Sunday, to then drive home on the Monday morning. It was so much effort, but so worth it.
To my surprise I did very well, placing at almost every competition I entered.

In the end, I was competing right next to the groomers I had been admiring for years before. I had come full circle and it was mind-blowing!

Over the last few years I have helped train and inspire many new and existing groomers to up-skill or open their own grooming business. It's been really nice to share my knowledge with others who were wanting to succeed too.

The journey my business and grooming career has been on has been amazing, and I couldn't have imagined it even if I tried. And I wonder where it will take me over the next 20 or so years!

We all live such busy lives, and I'm sure a lot of owners don't think too hard about the girl that picks the eye bo**er from their dog's eyes and cuts the poo dag's off their dog's bum. But your dog coming and getting groomed by me is literally supporting my little family and for that I am truly thankful!

I'm beyond grateful for how understanding everyone is when I need to shuffle appointments around due to sick kids, or just mum life!

So, I'll finally get to the point... If you're still even reading this novel, Thankyou..! 😂

I am making a big decision to rebrand "The Dog House".

This is something I've been thinking about doing for a while now.
Mostly because I don't believe the business name represents what I am trying to work towards and create anymore
When I decided on "The dog house" I was wanting all the hustle and bustle that comes with a busy salon and a few employees, a salon name that didn't just reflect me as a "solo" groomer, but a whole team.

As time has gone by and my life has evolved into a family setting I feel a need for change.

What I would like to achieve is a more personal, one on one space within my small salon that isn't so "hustle and bustle".
I am striving towards a more relaxed and calm environment that reflects the type of dog groomer and person I am.

As one chapter closes another one opens!
So here is where the chapter "Poochie - Pet Styling by Amy" starts! 😍🤗

I cant wait to see where this takes me and I so look forward to continuing the love and care for all your pooches!
I hope you can take this new journey with me.

Thank you again for being such a valued client to me and my business! 😍🤗

Amy

Omg this is just to bloody funny because its so true! 😂 The amount of times we get text messages saying "Dont listen to what the husband says, he has no idea" or the husband saying "i dont know, call the wife" or "just shave it all off" and once the husband walks off we laugh and do what we always do. 😂😂😂 So funny!

Ever wondered why your groomers may be running late? Or taking a bit longer then usual? Well behind the scenes of what may be going on 🤣😂 Poor Bec, but wow it was funny. Ahahahaha

Can you believe its been 5 weeks since our little man entered the world? 😵 Thank you to everyone who has congratulated us and sent cards/gifts. You have all been to nice to us, and we really appreciated it! 🥰 We will be opening and taking booking as of this week for NAIL trims only. As this service only takes a couple of minutes and fairly simple to do with a baby in tow If you are after your dogs nails trimmed send us a message and we can work out a time! It will be so nice to see some friendly faces! 🐶

Look at these two cutes who got a trim today. Hazel and Ralph are ready for the weekend! 🐩

Here is Florance having her face scissored ✂️✂️

Sunday from BEAUTYOLOGY Geelong came and dropped off some products that Amy wanted to try! Small Businesses helping other small businesses is how we will continue to get through these hard times. Sunday does not only do Amys regular "grooming" treatments but our whole team! She keeps Amy's eyebrows looking fab, spray tans, teeth whiting, eyelashes and plenty of other extra things. Sadly Sunday had to close her beauty salon down last week, and doesnt know when she will be opening. Sunday is selling retail and Gift vouches that can be used once she is re open for business! Head over to her page and see all the amazing things she does!

When there is a quiet gap and you get to play with puppies 😍

Holy Cow! I can't believe how much stuff we got dropped off in just an hour! We have so much stuff from bird cages, chicken feeders, bird medication, baby animal bottle feeders of all different sizes! Lots of other medications, baby blankets, cat/dog food, towels, bowls. Everyone is just amazing! Tomorrow we will be taking it to a truck that will be taking its second load of donations up from geelong ❤

The happy strut Winnie has after she just pooped everywhere! 😂😂

Besties ❤️ This went on for so long it got a bit awkward. 😂

We might have had to much fun today with our fur friends!

It’s play time here for Scout & Cooper 🐶

Bob also invented another way to be brushed........ with the broom.... 😂😂😂😂

Teddy being oh so patient while having his face trimmed today!
