Course Overview

Professional dog grooming isn’t just about washing and combing the coat of a household pet. It is also about checking their well-being and assessing their condition. Being able to adequately groom a dog is likely to prolong their life as well as make them look adorable or be worthy of entering competitions. To help you take better care of your pet or look at the potential of starting a business, this insightful training tells you everything you need to keep a dog in great shape.
This Animal Care tutorial offers six online modules, each giving a wealth of information about useful grooming techniques. You will learn how to prepare a grooming area and how to perform an initial evaluation of a dog’s appearance and condition.
