Grooming AcademyThis course is a two part course that combines the Basic and the Advanced Courses. Hours are individualized to meet the needs of each student regarding working through physical, emotinal, mental or social disabilities, OR if none exist – working on business ownership skills while learning the trade of pet grooming. This course is geared towards the future business owner that needs a strong base knowledge in bathing/ brushing/and technical grooming skills. Handling difficult owners and difficult dogs is emphasized for the survival of your future business. This course teaches dental care and teeth scaling, common medical issues seen in the grooming room, customer service and phone skills, scheduling time, and the importance of kennel and shop sanitation.
