A dog grooming course will prepare you to recognize a dog\u2019s needs, and to handle any difficult situations.<\/p>\n<p>Dog owners will also be watching you closely to ensure you are gentle and attentive to their pup\u2019s needs, and it\u2019s so important to take this opportunity to discuss the dog\u2019s lifestyle with the owner. This shows that you\u2019re interested in their pet and want to know any details that may affect how the grooming appointment goes. Taking the time to get to know the owner and their dog is incredibly important, and will be noticed by the owner.<\/p>\n<p>A compassionate dog groomer is a successful one. Completing an appointment with the dog at ease and looking his best will make an impression on the owner. They will be much more inclined to trust your skills and expertise, and feel less anxious about leaving their dog in your care. Showing compassion for all the animals you meet as a groomer will go a long way in your career![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;5498&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Training\"><\/span>Training<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As a certified groomer, you take the safety of dogs into your hands on a daily basis. Techniques such as bathing, brushing, and clipping should always be taken seriously, since you never know how a pup may react. To ensure you keep both the pup and yourself safe at all times, it\u2019s essential to complete a dog grooming course.<\/p>\n<p>When researching dog grooming schools, we recommend taking a comprehensive course as well as a first aid training course. While dog grooming isn\u2019t a regulated industry, getting certified as a dog groomer will make your life a lot easier when trying to secure clients and build your brand. Not to mention, dog owners will place more value on your services and you have a much better chance of being hired over a groomer with no certification. A good grooming course will provide you with business training, which is excellent news for certified dog groomers who want to run their own pet business one day!<\/p>\n<p>Now, back to that first aid course. One of the reasons why dog owners get nervous leaving their dog in a groomer\u2019s care is because emergencies can happen, and they don\u2019t know how you\u2019ll handle the situation. Some dog grooming courses actually include units on first aid, which is perfect, but if you choose a dog grooming school that doesn\u2019t cover first aid, you\u2019ll need to find a separate course (and this is necessary!). Accidents, such as a small nick from your trimmers, can happen to even the most trained and cautious groomer. Get yourself trained in first aid, and keep a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2017\/01\/9-items-need-pet-first-aid-kit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">manual on hand<\/a> wherever you groom.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]<strong><em>Pro Tip:<\/em><\/strong> It\u2019s important to understand what is harmful and unsafe for dogs, and communicate this to your clients.

As mentioned above, animals can be unpredictable, and unlike humans, they cannot express how they feel. Their temperament can change on a dime \u2013 especially when they\u2019re being handled by someone they don\u2019t know in an unfamiliar environment. It\u2019s up to you as the groomer to know when a dog has had enough, needs a break, or should not be groomed at all. This is not easy to understand unless you\u2019re trained and have some experience under your belt. Knowing how to manage every situation come from years of experience \u2013 and it helps to have reference points to look back on!<\/p>\n<p>Gaining an owner\u2019s trust is essential for dog groomers, and going with your intuition in tricky situations is one effective way to develop that trust. It may take several appointments for a dog owner to understand your techniques and begin to depend on your expertise, but it\u2019s worth it in the long run. Sometimes, you won\u2019t be able to groom a dog at all based on their current mood or health conditions, and it won\u2019t be easy to communicate this to the owner. However, if they have trust in you already, they\u2019ll be happy to defer to your judgment.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Find out<a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2017\/09\/start-dog-grooming-career\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> how to start a dog grooming career<\/a> with our step-by-step guide!<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;70&#8243;][recent_posts style=&#8221;default&#8221; category=&#8221;all&#8221; columns=&#8221;3&#8243; posts_per_page=&#8221;3&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don&#8217;t miss the top things pet owners look for when they seek out a professional dog groomer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":5496,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,5],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[358],"class_list":{"0":"post-5493","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"category-career-advice"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.8 (Yoast SEO v26.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What Dog Owners Look for in a Professional Groomer - Sniffin&#039; Around<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Pet owners look for these top traits when searching for a professional groomer.
