This basic groomer course is not a professional groomer training

The aim of this course is for you to know how to take care of your dog’s fur – how to shear it, how to trim the contours and how to brush the coat properly. Together, we’ll prepare you and your dog for grooming at home.

In individual lessons, we show you how to professionally take care of your dog and which tools suit best to you and your four-legged friend.

We want to tailor this grooming course to you and your dog. That’s why, there won’t be any other participants of the course, it’s just you and your dog.
