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.

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?

Book Abbie Direct

Your dog doesn’t have to be staying with us. Book online with Groom Garden any time, and tell Abbie that Elite sent you.

“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.”
