Amy McCauley

I began grooming in August 2005 in Dunedin, and quickly found it to be my absolute passion. I love spending my day with dogs and using my skills to make them look awesome. 
I did step back from professional grooming for a while when my children were very young (although I never stopped grooming fully!) and I went back to working professionally at Baarkers, in Oamaru, for a further six years, before opening my own business at home in April 2024.

I regularly compete in grooming competitions, and have won various awards there, including the title of National Groomer Of The Year!
I am now stepping up and learning more about judging exams and mentoring other groomers and I’m enjoying being on the “other side” more too. I continue to attend seminars and learn from other groomers to keep upskilling.
