If you have an animal at home that requires constant grooming or you think this would be a great career opportunity then you should consider the Animal Grooming course.
With regular maintenance required for our animals, being a pet groomer allows you the opportunity to not only work with animals, but the chance to possibly own your own business and do something you love.
If you have never had any experience of working with animals but would like to, than this is a great starting point, or if you are working with animals but would like to have more career options, pet grooming can be fun, flexible and easy to manage with our self-paced course.
How to go about the practical for grooming:
It is important to have a range of animals around you if you would like to practice grooming at home. Otherwise undertaking some volunteer work at a local grooming centre can be an excellent experience for learning the practical art of grooming.
Go to a show and look at the animals being groomed before they are shown. Quite often you will find little tips here on how to handle animals that are nervous and also little tricks for keeping a coat looking shiny or smooth.
Grooming doesn’t just include clipping the hair on the animal; it also means cleaning the ears, trimming nails, and sometimes brushing their teeth! These are all things that are essential for keeping the animal healthy and some customers won’t like attending to these areas of grooming for their animal. These are all extras that you may provide for your customers if you are to be a professional groomer.
