Where did it all begin...
In 2014 I was approached by a friend who asked if I was interested in a six month old Shitzu puppy he had called Billy. I explained that our boys had always wanted a dog but due to their severe Eczama it wasn’t possible. He then informed me that a Shitzu was hypoallergenic and didn’t molt. We went to see him and fell in love with him straight away. Very soon afterwards Billy had a new forever home…
In 2015 a friend of mine who was grooming Billy at the time, suggested that I should give dog grooming in Leicester a go. I’d been working in a bank for years leading up to that and was desperate for a change. He gave me some information regarding training and I started to make inquiries straight away.
It was in June 2015 I enrolled with Bernie at Leicester Dog Grooming Academy and completed the three week course.
Then in April 2016 I attended Lakhi Thindal’s ‘up close and personal scissor demo and workshop’ which helped develop my creative flair.
In November 2018 I passed my ‘dog 1st aid and emergency canine care’ course.

Billy Jane’s grooming moved to Earl Shilton in 2023 due to expansion. Our Leicester dog grooming salon is situated at the back of 25 Barber Shop on the high street. We are next to the Red Lion pub so you can drop off your pooch and have a hair cut yourself or a pint next door whilst you wait. If you’d prefer to stay and watch Jane in action then you are welcome to have a coffee and a chat whilst she works her magic…
