Tour My Dog Grooming Salon! Victoria, Australia
We opened in this location in March of 2023 and which I can't believe it took me so long to make a video! But better late than never and I really hope this video can be of some inspiration on your self employment journey!
The audio didnt align correctly when I exported the video :( From about 7 mins in, there's a minute of misaligned audio. I apologise for that and I dont know how to fix it :(

    Great tour 😊I watched Gabriel’s tour, the guy who makes 1.3mil a year dog grooming. His tour wasn’t a tour, just him over talking about irrelevant things and not showing us his layout etc so it sucked. Yours was straight to the point, I know exactly what to expect, what you have, what you do, I see you’re militantly organised which I love! It’s clearly SUPER CLEAN, access is unhindered, and it’s not pretentious. I know where my pet will be pampered., ticks every box I need. Your tour was fabulous so thanks. I’d feel more comfortable bringing my pet to you than Gabriel. Much success to you!

    I’m a groomer that has an at home business, how many dogs did you have before you made the jump to a store? Beside yourself how many groomers did you start off with? Opening up a store front is such a big deal🫣. Financially with grooming it seems the only way to make money is to keep it really small by yourself or to try and go pretty big! Pricing is always an issue. I’m a lot cheaper then most places but I know I need to raise my prices. If you are to cheap you get burned out and will not want to stay in business lol.

      Super delayed reponse, but so many great questions! I didn't jump to a store from my home salon until I was consistently grooming enough dogs a day to cover the overheads of a shop. For me it was like 6/7 dogs a day. I made sure I could cover the overheads solo as I didnt want to have to financially rely on having staff. I agree entirely about staying small or going large!

      @@TurtleBoyz Its called backyard breeding. Aggressiveness is not part of the temperment. Every well bred poodle i've met have all been amazing and chill. I'll will always recommend poodles to people that are willing to put in the work. My poodle is my most behaved and easiest to train. Their amazing dogs and their so sweet and goofy. They have such amazing personalities. Don't blame the breed because you came across people that didn't train properly and didn't do their research before they got the breed. Poodles are the 5th most popular breed so backyard breeding is very popular in this breed that's why you meet mean poodles or with behavioral and health issues it's no different with the doodles but the difference all doodles are back yard bred so you dont know what your gonna get.

    Just a financial question, I am saving up to start a business like this as well. 1. how many pets do you get in a week? 2. how much "on average" should I expect to make in a month? 3. how much do you spend monthly on your business? and 4. how do you advertise?

      Hi Andrew, I'm sorry it took me so long to reply! Our salon is huge now and I have two employees helping me. I'm uploading a tour of the new salon soon. I love your questions so I'll make a video on them also! But if it were just me, I would be grooming 6-7 small dogs a day. Income on average really depends on how much you charge and how many dogs you groom. At the time this video was out, I was earning anywhere between $1500AUD a week, and I wish I could remember how much costs were but they were relatively low as I was working from home. I didn't do any advertising as the salon I had been working at previously closed down so I was able to bring all the clients with me to my new salon. Hope that helps!
