ELITE TRAINING CENTERS × GROOM GARDEN DOG SPA
Grooming with Abbie
We handle the training. Abbie handles the glow-up. She’s the groomer we trust with every dog in our care, right here in Glastonbury.
MEET YOUR GROOMER
Abbie, aka Abbie the Groomie
Abbie runs Groom Garden Dog Spa on Main Street in Glastonbury, and she’s who we call for every dog in our care that needs a bath, a haircut, or a nail trim. She works one-on-one, one dog at a time. No assembly line, nobody getting rushed through.
That matters most for the dogs who need a little extra patience: seniors, nervous pups, and any dog who does better without the chaos of a busy salon. Abbie goes at their pace, and they come back clean, calm, and smelling a whole lot better than when they left.
- Certified through the CT Academy of Pet Grooming
- AKC S.A.F.E. certified
- First Aid and CPR certified
- One dog at a time, in a calm, low-volume salon
How Grooming Works at Elite
Three ways to get your dog on Abbie’s table.
BOARD & TRAIN
Home Trained and Fresh
Our board and train dogs typically see Abbie before they head home, so your dog comes back with new manners and a clean coat to match.
BOARDING & DAYCARE
Groomed During Their Stay
Dog due for a bath, a haircut, or a nail trim while they’re with us? Book it with Abbie on her site and let us know the date.
JUST NEED A GROOM?

Grooming Tips From Ivan
Help your dog love grooming day. A few minutes of practice at home makes every appointment easier for your dog and for Abbie.
PUPPIES
What to practice at home so your puppy’s first appointment is easy, not scary.
NERVOUS DOGS
Why the car ride and drop-off can matter more than the clippers, and how to fix it.
AT HOME
Turn brushing from a fight into a few calm minutes a day.
“We love Abbie and how patient she is with our nervous girl! It takes a little while for our goldendoodle, Azula, to warm up to new people and Abbie is always so sweet with our pup.”
Lydia, Groom Garden client
