Salon Owner
It was a privilege to bring my cocker Chess to the in salon training day and have the opportunity to learn from Mike. I had purchased the online cocker spaniel masterclass, which has been extremely helpful but I felt I needed a one to one experience to help me gain confidence in my stying , I still can’t quite believe I had the chance to do it ! I am very grateful for the time , guidance and knowledge that was shared.

The videos are my bible! I’ve learned so much from them. I’ve bought a ticket for the Crufts event, so looking forward to seeing the video afterwards
