My New journey to be a Groomer

Dear Diary,

I have been busy lately. Ever since after the new year i have been doing many things to move forward to my dreams. Met with a few hiccups along the way and now trying to get back on track.

I always wanted to have my own Pet Grooming shop. That's why I pursue for a Pet Grooming certificate. I have successfully completed and obtained my certificate and now officially certified to be a groomer! Its still not the end as there are 2 more Certificates to obtain to be certified the best. Along the way, I made some plans. Unfortunately, was unsuccessful and I am still trying my best to achieve my dream.

I recently just started my freelance grooming, tagged to a shop. Not too bad, but i really need much more experiences than this. HAHA. Lucky the boss of the shop is very understanding and he gave me room for mistakes and improvement. I learnt many new things in this industry. This is a very big change for me as previously I was working in an office environment. I wouldn't say its easy just because I have passion for it. The learning process is quite tedious and i do find it very tiring compared to an office environment. In the pet industry, i am more fearful of making mistakes therefore I m very careful of what i am doing. Especially now that i hold on to expensive and sharp scissors whole day. HAHA!

Working with animals, mostly dogs, really makes me a happier person. But every job still has it's stress level. So far, i have not much issue for handling dogs. Some even dozed off while i was trimming. The most challenging part is cutting nails. Most dogs are afraid and tend to be aggressive. Got bitten a few times but all is well.




For now, I am planning to do freelance, home grooming. I will start home grooming (going to client's house) once i am more confident in my styles. I am also currently pursuing to upgrade my certificate and take it to the next level, B class cert. So that i can do better grooming for my clients in the future.
So if anyone is interested for me to groom their dogs, please PM me and i will plan a date. But please be understanding as I am a NEW groomer!


Don't be afraid to pursue what you want to do in life. Today is the day I wake up to follow my dreams.

Love,
Mummy Bumver
