“Ogo and the magical topiary garden”

OGO! OMD! (oh my dog) he was such a beautiful and sweet natured dog!

What a difficult and technical challenge! The ‘Spiral cut’ is a dog groom I had never done on a real dog before. 😂

When this challenge was set, we were each asked to plan a spiral cut groom inspired by a ‘magical topiary garden’, which makes sense of all the flowers and other details in this episode.

I had a lesson on how to do this in Malaysia while studying Asian Fusion styles, but the dog already had the spiral shape, so I was just following the lines and concentrating on the finished result. This technique uses sc******ng skills we call ‘carving’ and is used to make all sorts of shapes with the dog’s fur, wings included!

I was seriously thrown in the deep end on this challenge having to cut it in from scratch but I’m so excited that I had the opportunity to do something so different on such a sweet, patient dog.

He is an absolute credit to his owners and they love him so much! Thank you, Sandra ( ) for getting in touch with me after the filming and for trusting me with your gorgeous boy.

I’m excited to see him again someday!

How cute was Teddy!?

I feel so privileged to have met and groomed Teddy the beautiful English cocker spaniel on Pooch Perfect!

He was such a sweet and funny boy! He loved the cameras and the limelight! What a gorgeous and confident dog, a real credit to his lovely owners. Thank you so much for getting in contact with me this week and for your kind words of support. You are so lucky to have teddy in your family. Thank you for trusting everyone involved with the show and myself to look after him; He was treated like royalty and had a lovely time lapping up all the love and fuss. I was so lucky to have been paired with him!

This particular photo was taken while we were watching the judges (Colin Taylor Grooming & Verity Hardcastle ) do their thing. He didn’t care what was going on in the competition, he just wanted to be in my face giving me kisses which I found amusing and he definitely calmed my nerves!

My main focus on the day was that he was happy and had a lovely grooming experience. He really made me smile and reminded me why I love this job so much!

We made a great team and I can’t wait to see him again and meet his owner when they next visit Brighton.

Sheridan

Sheridan Smith

Stepping out on to the set of Pooch Perfect was a very stressful moment! Sheridan’s bright and bubbly personality was infectious and helped all to relax…. A little bit.

I can not begin to explain how amazing having her on set was. She is an inspiring new mum with an amazing work ethic. Balancing motherhood and taking on this presenter role in the next step of her career would be hard enough for most but Sheridan also made time outside of filming to talk to us all and meet the dogs. She also has this magical way of making you feel at ease with her down to earth presence.

Hard working, professional, fun and talented role model for mums and women across the UK, Sheridan makes being in front of the cameras look like a total breeze! I can guarantee you that it is not easy!

Thank you, Sheridan

The Judges

Thank you Colin & Verity for your invaluable feedback and critique. I have already taken your comments and put it all to practice. You have inspired me with your knowledge of the industry, and I can’t wait to further my career and really get into competing more frequently.

You have me hooked now!

As a Tutor, I know how hard it can be to give feedback to people, but when done with compassion and kindness it really is an opportunity to grow and improve. Here’s to celebrating our industry and helping everyone to be the best they can be.

The Pooch Perfect UK team

Wow, what an incredible and multi-talented bunch of wonderful people! I was so naïve to how much work and time that goes into a TV show. Production involves an insane amount of work and I just do not know how they had any time to sleep!

We, the contestants, were well and truly looked after from the very first audition to the finished result. The dogs were the real stars of the show and were treated like royalty from the minute they entered the building to when they were reunited with their owners. They had their own lovely team of handlers, Bolu .dvm, the vets and animal welfare experts keeping the dogs best interest at heart. Everything revolved around each dogs happiness and safety and I would not have expected anything else from such a lovely warm family show.

I don’t have many of the ‘behind the camera team’ on social media but I hope this gets back to each and every one of them, so they know how special and valued they all are.

Big shout out to Mark for making sure we were out of bed, fed watered and well looked after from start to finish!

It really was an amazing team of people behind this show! They were always so professional and an absolute pleasure to meet!

From the contestants, the dogs and the incredible team behind the show! I was blown away by everyone’s professionalism, talent and organisation.

Watching TV will never be the same, I had NO IDEA how much goes into making a TV program! It’s insane, respect.

To Ellie!!! My leaving pal! I think we can all agree you were our rock in this team! Always calming our nerves with your positivity and excitement! You are such a talented groomer and I admire your positive outlook on life, your super special!

I’m so glad to have experienced this with all the contestants. So many laugh and tears! You are all so kind, fun and talented! A huge thank you for all support from the other contestants every single day since we filmed has also been unreal!

Each contestant is so talented and unique, I feel so honoured to be part of this line up. It’s amazing to watch you all represent the dog grooming industry we are all so passionate about.

I’m inspired by every single one of you! At no point did I feel I was competing against anyone, it was a real celebration of skills, knowledge, and the love we all share for dogs.

What an amazing opportunity to show the hard work and love we all put into our jobs and the grooming industry.

I can’t wait to watch you all shine over the next few weeks! And for covid to be over so we can have a pooch perfect party and actually hug each other.😂
