OUR COURSES |
| |
Our courses are tailored very much to meet individual
needs and are geared to your own learning speed and requirements,
catering for the complete beginner to the more experienced groomer.
All tuition is to C&G standards.
Training provided is intensive, with a great deal of time being spent
on practical work. Training can be taken in stages rather than as a
one-off course should that be required. |
| |
|
Practical Training |
During your practical training you are provided with
'model dogs' to work on. The range of breeds used will be as wide as
possible with you being responsible for the grooming and trimming of
these dogs from start to finish.
You will also learn how to deal with various coat types, basic health
and safety aspects i.e. cleaning and removing hair from ears, claw
clipping, expressing anal glands, dog handling and controlling etc.
Demonstrations and supervision are provided throughout this time by
your tutors. |

Theory |

during your stay where we are available to offer support and advice. |
