## Resource

In this episode, Bill chats with Pam Rowley of Best Friends Pets as she celebrates an incredible 40 years in dog grooming. From starting out in the days of “poodle parlours”, Yellow Pages adverts and hand shears, to becoming an educator, examiner and long-standing business owner, Pam shares a fascinating look at how the grooming industry has changed over the decades. This conversation explores the evolution of grooming equipment, training, customer expectations, marketing, pricing and professionalism. Pam also shares honest reflections on what it takes to build confidence as a groomer, charge your worth, adapt as the industry changes, and keep your passion for dogs at the heart of your business. A brilliant episode for groomers who want perspective, reassurance and a reminder that grooming can be a long-term, rewarding and well-paid career when you believe in your skills and treat yourself as a professional.
