Course Curriculum
Sue Williamson
Sue has been a life longer dog lover, starting with her own dog when just 4 years old, when she was given a toy poodle (Tina) by a relative. This sparked Sue’s desire to become a dog groomer, but she would have to wait another 50 years until this dream was realised. After Tina passed away, Sue had to wait another 20 years to get another dog, since then she has lived with a number of dogs, Kelly, Taz, Kira, Raffi, Chic, Ritzi and Talis.
On leaving school, Sue went into administration until Jan 2016, when she decided that life was too short to spend time in a job where management made life difficult, and chose to train as a dog groomer.
On completion of the Dog Grooming training at L.A. Spa and Groom, Sue immediately opened her own salon in a log cabin in the garden. Sue had already decided that she wanted to offer grooming to those dogs who struggled with the grooming process, as she knew that Tellington Ttouch would help many dogs.
After achieving Tellington Ttouch Practitioner in 2016, Sue started delivering one day Tellington Ttouch workshops to groomers. She soon realised that the training most groomers undertook were lacking in dog behaviour, and in particular important topics that were not covered included body language and trigger stacking, so these topics were also added to the workshop. In 2019 Sue finalised her first book Taking the Grrr out of Grooming Your Dog, followed by Taking the Grrr out of the Grooming Salon and Introducing Your Puppy to Grrr-less Grooming. Since then Sue has become one of the leading Grooming Behaviour Specialists and provides education to other groomers through her Facebook Group Taking the Grrr out of Grooming Dogs and Educational Portal.
Sue continuously studies canine related courses to enhance her grooming and education for other groomers.
