Dog Grooming

Our aim is to develop your technical ability and understanding of what is required to work in the dog grooming sector. This includes learning the art of dog grooming as well as other important skills like client communication, business skills and managing payments.

STUDY DOG GROOMING

There is always a variety of breeds to learn on at our commercial parlour and this gives you the opportunity to practise your client communication skills in a business environment.

LEARN THE TRICKS OF THE TRADE WITH OUR DOG GROOMING COURSES

The parlour, named ‘Distinguished Dogs‘, is run as a commercial venture, taking in dogs from members of the public. As a result, there is always a variety of breeds to learn on and this gives students the opportunity to practise their client communication skills in a business environment.

LEVEL 2

Our level 2 course helps students cover the basics of grooming and develop a solid knowledge base as a groomer’s assistant. This includes basic anatomy, signs of health, types of parasites and what a groomer can do about them, and much more.

LEVEL 3

The level 3 course helps students understand how relevant legislations are applicable in the grooming parlour, basic first aid and how to deal with first aid situations, hazards within the grooming parlour and creating risk assessments, styling and finishing different types of dog to breed standard (including scissor work and hand stripping), disease and disorders that can affect dogs (and how that changes the grooming process) and more.

Expert design

Our parlour was designed by an actual dog groomer; this means the layout is optimised for the best working environment and all equipment was picked for its quality.

Fully stocked facilities

Our parlour is fully stocked with a professional range of shampoos and styling products. This allows students to see which products they like and which get the best results on client dogs.

Experienced tutors

Our tutors have over 40 years of experience combined, and all run their own grooming businesses alongside teaching; meaning they have real life experience working as dog groomers and are able to pass this knowledge on to their learners.
