ABOUT US

My name is Jennifer Murphy. I’ve always had a huge interest in animals. I’ve achieved multiple qualifications related to animals over the years. I’m qualified as a horse riding instructor, I have veterinary experience and a degree in zoology (this was all before I entered the world of grooming).

After my degree from university of Glasgow I decided to change my path and focus on my passion for dogs. Having dogs all my life I had huge compassion towards them. I believe every experience they have should be a positive one therefore I thrive on making every grooming session an enjoyable one.

After returning from Glasgow I took on an internship with Le mutt as a day care assistant. From there I went on to work for Muttugly as a washer prepped for 8 months. Here is where I learnt a lot about the health care of dogs and how to perform multiple health checks to ensure the dog is happy and healthy. I learnt about all different breeds, dog behavior and the correct way to handle different dogs. All to ensure a positive experience. All whilst learning what shampoos or products work best on different coat types or skin conditions to ensure your dog doesn’t have a reaction and to ensure the coat is really clean.

When I finished my internship I went on and did my city and guilds level 2 introductory course where I expanded my knowledge about health care and began learning different grooming techniques and all the different breed standard trims. After I qualified with very high standards I began working for Muttugly full time. I groom so many different breeds (probably some you’ve never head of) and each breed has its own breed standard trim to suit the dog and enhance their structure. Each groom would depend on practically (age of dog, behavior, breed, owners ability to brush at home).

On may 2017 I opened up Murphy’s mutts all whilst I began teaching dog grooming in Muttugly part time. After a very successful year I decided to focus solely on Murphy’s mutts. I’ve developed an amazing relationship with all my clients and threat every dog like they were my own. I am member of the IPDGA which is the Irish professional dog grooming association. Every year they have there annual grooming competitions, which is the biggest grooming competition in Ireland. I competed in this oct 2017 as my very first competition. I won 1st in the new to grooming category against another 14 highly skilled groomers. I’m hoping to compete more and gain more titles in the future. In March 2018 I completed my diploma in dog grooming with very high marks and have logged in over 700 hours of theory work. I also qualified as a canine first aid responder. I am fully insured and tax compliant.

In 2022 Murphy’s Mutts was rebranded to The Barking Boutique. With a brand new grooming salon opening in Naas.

I have a lot of knowledge, compassion and love for animals therefore your dogs are in the best hands. Your dogs welfare is always our priority. Any questions just ask.

Hope to see you soon
