Leanne
Director
I founded Mucky Pups Grooming Salon in 2012 due to my love of creative grooming and dogs. These past 11 years in the salon I’ve witnessed my team grow from strength to strength and it has been incredibly rewarding.
The past two years we have put all our passion into offering professional training courses to share our skills with the next generation of pet stylists. The school has received amazing reviews from our students and we feel so honoured to help some many student’s achieve their dream career.
This past year I have been developing my own brand “Pewtner” that offers quality and innovative tools that the students can purchase to help achieve fantastic cuts quicker and easier.

Manager & Trainer
As Salon Manager, I started working for Mucky Pups in 2013.
I thoroughly enjoy training and being part of people’s journey to becoming pet stylists and I’m eager to share all my skills with future talent.
I started at the very bottom and worked my way up to the senior stylist and I take great pleasure in helping others achieve the same.

Chloe
Trainer & pet stylist
I started working at Mucky Pups in 2018 with no previous experience and was studying Animal Care at the time.
I am now a confident pet stylist and my favourite breed to groom is a Cockapoo but my all-time favourite breed is a Rottweiler.
I have a 2-year-old Cocker Spaniel Milo that I also love to groom. I am very keen to keep progressing in my career and learn more skills.
