I have been taking my German Spitz, Alfie, to Bernie (Leicester Dog Grooming) since he was 4 mths old. We have been going for over a year now and have always been more than pleased with the results. Alfie comes out every time looking like a handsome little prince and smelling gorgeous!! I always stay with him as I travel 30 mins from where I live, owners are always welcome to stay and have a coffee. Bernie takes great pride in her work and loves all the dogs, it really shows. She is so patient with them and talks to them throughtout, telling them how good they are being, even in they are jumping around and wriggling. It took Alfie a while to get used to being groomed, but with Bernie's patience and regular grooming, I think he secretly loves going now and adores the attention she gives him. She is always willing to help and give advise on how to keep your dog looking nice in betweeen grooms too. At Leicester Dog Grooming they also do boarding so Alfie is off the stay with Bernie in a few weeks when we go on holiday. We have only left him for one night since we've had him and I wouldnt trust leaving him with anyone else. I know he'll be spoilt and get lots of love whilst we're away. I can also honestly say that id never take him anywhere else to be groomed!! So thanks Bernie for helping me keep Alfie in great condition and for all the great tips you have given me. Donna read more
