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!
