‘I’ve always been an animal lover’ - Watch a day in the life at a North East dog spa

Rebecca Brown, the owner of The Dog Spa Durham, has given us an insight into here daily life at her North East dog grooming business.

When taking part in a documentary for Shots! TV, Rebecca took us through the different grooming techniques and what works best for different breeds of dog.

Rebecca has explained how she got into the dog grooming business and how it led to her having around 100 regular four-legged clients.

She said: “When I was younger, my dad had a dog walking business so that got me into working with dogs and got me used to the likes of big dogs.

“So I’ve always been an animal lover and had loads of pets growing up.

“I used to work in the food sector but then I decided that I wanted to go to college and get a qualification - it was either between floristry and dog grooming.

“I did a foundation course in dog grooming and then managed to get an apprenticeship in level two animal care via dog grooming.

“I’ve had many dog grooming jobs but I wanted my own business so here I am.

“I have loads of regular customers, at least 100 of them and I know them on all first-name basis.”
