Completing a dog grooming certification course will give you the skills and motivation to hit the ground running as a professional groomer. For many, this means taking on many appointments to start \u2013 after all, this will boost your experience level, bring more clients, and earn you more money! However, there is only one of you.

Each dog that you care for is different, so it is <em>extremely<\/em> important to take a few moments before any grooming appointment to run your hands through a dog\u2019s fur and use your trained eye to note any issues. Prior to any groom, let the owner know what your standard grooming practices are, and that additional costs could be required in the case of certain conditions. The last thing you want to do is groom a dog with an existing health condition, as you can worsen the situation or leave the dog\u2019s owner in the dark about how to treat their pet!<\/p>\n<p>Also, you don\u2019t want to surprise your clients with an additional bill at the end of the grooming appointment that they didn\u2019t anticipate \u2013 this certainly won\u2019t help boost your dog grooming career.<\/p>\n<p>Some things you want to be looking for include:<\/p>\n<h3>Eyes and ears<\/h3>\n<p>While you\u2019re not qualified to treat an eye or ear infection, you can recommend a proper examination by a vet. Take some time to look inside the dog\u2019s ears for an accumulation of dead skin or hair, discharge or swelling, and if any of these are present, you can choose not to continue with the appointment.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#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;5569&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#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]Similarly, look for irritation, redness, swelling or discharge in a dog\u2019s eyes, and know when to recommend the dog\u2019s owner take them to the vet.<\/p>\n<h3>Skin conditions<\/h3>\n<p>The inspection you conduct before a grooming appointment allows you to pick up on common skin problems. All of these should be treated seriously, and your communication with the dog\u2019s owner is <em>key<\/em> in a situation where infection might be present.<\/p>\n<h3>Teeth<\/h3>\n<p>One huge advantage of dog groomer training is the trained eye you\u2019ll be able to use when caring for your furry clients. You can catch potential dental problems before grooming a dog by using your expertise to pick up on abnormalities. Although you\u2019re not qualified to clean the teeth and gums (leave that to the vet!), you can lift the dog\u2019s mouth flaps before the appointment to look at the gums and check for redness or swelling. If an infection is present, grooming isn\u2019t a good idea, and you can communicate this to your clients.<\/p>\n<p>As a groomer, you have a responsibility to both the dog and their owner. You need to communicate effectively with the owners and mediate between what they want and what the dog needs, and conducting an inspection before grooming is vital in order to provide the safest grooming experience (not to mention keeping your reputation strong as a groomer!).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Not_learning_enough\"><\/span>Not learning enough<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While it is possible to learn dog grooming techniques on the job, it\u2019s not the same as a dog grooming class.
