Course Description
A dog is a man’s best friend. Sure, it’s a cliché of course, but anyone who has owned a dog, or has looked after a dog knows that it’s absolutely true! Dogs are loyal, loving, affectionate and (sometimes!) obedient. More often than not they become a really important part of the family.
And that’s why this Diploma Course in Dog Grooming is so fascinating! It gives you a chance to interact with dogs, and includes valuable advice on setting up your own business and make a living looking after our canine cousins.
YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Is this course suitable for me?
This course is suitable both for beginners and those with an established background with dogs. You don’t need any previous experience - the course is aimed at students who wish to provide quality grooming for their own dogs, as well as those who are thinking of setting up their own grooming business.
All you need is a love of dogs, patience and a mature outlook! However, as the course requires a great deal of time, effort and attention to detail, it is not suitable for anyone with back problems or repetitive motion injuries.
