I started grooming in 2007 and gained my full city & guilds advanced diploma in 2009. I competed at the groomer of the year and won “Newcomer of the Year” in 2007. Completed my full ICMG in 2018, I currently work 1 to 1 in a converted grooming studio. I enjoy attending seminars and spectating at grooming competitions. I live in West Yorkshire with my two toy poodles which I have done a little showing with.

Katie Rourke-Dowding ICMG

Hi there! I’m Katie Rourke Dowding – and I’m obsessed with all things to do with dog grooming.

Since January 2004, I’ve been the senior stylist at Centre Stage where I’ve focused my time on grooming my client’s dogs and inventing products to make other dog groomer’s lives easier.  While at Centre Stage, my biggest accomplishment has been the invention of the Centre Stage Backdrop; a nifty device that prevents dogs from migrating to the back of the grooming table.

Prior to this role, I was the Senior Instructor at The Canine Film Academy, where I spent 15 years training dogs for the film and TV industry. This work resulted in dogs that I had trained appearing in films such as Harry Potter.

I’m always happy to connect with like-minded dog grooming professionals. Shoot me a message on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter @CentreStageDogs.
