It is a very thorough and hands-on, practical course which we believe is the only way to master the art and skills involved in dog grooming. Combined with live demonstrations, theory sessions and interactive classroom study, we hope to provide you with a varied mix of learning.
We have formulated a course that covers every aspect of commercial dog grooming, combined with a Business and Advertising seminar, and our Animal Healthcare & First Aid seminar, our courses have been designed to provide you with as much information as possible to carry you forward into whatever direction you wish to take your career.
