Pet Grooming Training Courses

Dog Grooming?

I am interested in working with animals as a career. I really seem to like the Dog Grooming "industry". I've heard its extremely physically demanding (and I should know I groom, if you'd call it that, my own dog- a 115lbs bouvier). I also have heard it can be extremely hardwork, but i think I'm up to the challenge. Do you have any advice for me as a high school student on where i should get a job, reccomended schools to study at and any other information you could provide. Also, if you can inform me about what i should do if i pursue this career and possibly start a grooming business with other services such as dog walking and pet supply? (I'm willing to get certified as a dog walker as well). There is a shelter close by that I can volunteer at, that also offers pre-training courses for dog walking and registering CGC & therapy dogs if that matters. I appreciate any answers or other suggestions for occupations within this field as well. Thanks so much
:)


right now there is no certification to be a groomer...there are a lot of schools for it, but you can save your money and get hands on training at a groomer by becoming their bather for awhile...i went to the library 15 years ago and got some books on standard breed grooming, bathed dogs for a couple months and basically bullshitted my way in....just takes a LOT of patience....i repeat, a LOT of patience! good luck! i think a lot of the schools take the compassion for dogs out of it and too many groomers are just money oriented..don't sell out, do it for the dogs!

Pet Grooming Training

I'd like information on schools in Massachusetts that offer training in pet grooming.?



There are at least two schools in Massachusetss. One is North Shore Community College, www.northshore.edu.
And the other is:
Massachusetts Schools of Pet Grooming
127 Boston Ave, W. Medford, MA 02155 (781) 488-3915
This last one has a website too, but it wasn't working. There might be others, but these two are probably more well known.

Dog Grooming - Groom Your Dog Yourself

Stop paying for expensive grooming services when you can buy your own equipment for a one off payment and groom your dog yourself. Dog grooming is easy to learn and will not only help you bond with your dog but will give you sense of achievement and satisfaction as you look at your groomed dog and then look at the money you’ve saved.



Follow these 7 steps to a professional dog grooming:




  1. Brush you dog before washing to loosen any dirt. This will make it easier to wash out.
  2. Use warm water and a good non irritating shampoo to wash your dog. The warm water will make the experience more enjoyable for your dog and ensure they are not scared or hesitant next time you want to partake in dog grooming.
  3. Gently clean eyes and ears with a clean, damp cloth. Do not poke too far into your dogs ears as they are sensitive- same goes for the eyes. Remove visible dirt and grime.
  4. Trim your dogs nails using specialty dog clippers. Most dog clippers will come with instructions so follow those closely to ensure your dog is not hurt.
  5. Dry your dog with a towel. If you dogs coat is long or think they may benefit from a blow dry. They may even enjoy the extra warmth and attention.
  6. No dog grooming session is complete without the final brush. Not only will this beautify your pooch but they will enjoy the attention.
  7. Always reward you dog for good behaviour. Give your dog a treat at the end of their dog grooming session as this will teach them that if they behave while being groomed they will get a treat. If you are in the process of training your dog then they will know that a treat is good, and no treat is bad.

It’s that simple. So save you money, bond with your pet and prove to yourself that you can do it.
