There is no need for any previous experience. All that is need is a willingness to learn!

We will supply all the dogs that you need to groom but if you would like to bring your own dog or your friend’s dogs in order to learn how to groom them then that’s fine. Just let us know in advance and there will be no extra cost.

No you can split the course up how you wish. The course is structured to suit the individual. Whilst we can take students who wish to do one or two days a week, we recommend that at some point during the course you have at least five days in a row as this help with memory and flow.

The courses run throughout the year and can begin on a date that is convenient for the student.

We will provide everything needed during your course.

The course is very hands -on and you will be grooming 2 dogs everyday from start to finish.

On the 22 day course you will learn all the main styles and will have had lots of experience with clipping, scissoring and hand stripping to feel confident enough to go it alone. Plus we are only a phone call away if you are feeling a bit unsure and need some reassurance.

The One Day course is payable in advance and the for the longer courses, a 10% deposit will be required to ensure that your place is reserved for you. The remaining cost of your course is payable 10 working days prior to the start date.

Our centre has one of the highest ratio of teachers to learners with up to 4 teachers per 5/6 students however it is not 1-2-1. The learning is done in group settings with students at different levels throughout the group. Students are encouraged to learn unaided so that they will be ready to make a living from their knowledge when they leave.
