Working as a dog groomer can be very rewarding as grooming can prevent and alleviate suffering. The demand for groomers is increasing as more people have pets and there is a growing awareness about responsible pet ownership. Career opportunities are varied in this type of animal care and a good dog groomer should never be unemployed.

To work as a dog groomer you will need to have a love of working with animals, an understanding of dog behaviour and an interest in learning about hair cutting and styling techniques.

If you are trained and qualified as a groomer, there are a variety of job opportunities available to you. These include working in an animal rescue centre, dog day care centres, mobile grooming vehicles, pet shops, home groomer, boarding kennels, veterinary practices, animal hospitals or working in or owning a grooming salon.


Dog Grooming Training Courses

There are a range of dog grooming training courses from beginners courses to more advanced training courses.
Most courses will include handling and restraint, how to clip and groom, general health and welfare of animals and advice on setting up your own dog grooming business.
