If you\u2019re considering a career as a dog groomer, you\u2019re probably considering a dog grooming course to get started on the right foot.\u00a0 It\u2019s a good call! There\u2019s a ton to learn and it\u2019s not something you want to dive blindly into.<\/p>\n<p>But not all dog grooming courses are created equal. Sure, all courses will teach you how to handle your tools and the different cuts based on a dog\u2019s breed, fur type, etc. In reality, here is so much more that a dog grooming course SHOULD teach you. Unfortunately many schools don\u2019t bother teaching beyond the very basics, setting you up for a troublesome shock once you start your career.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a short list of what you SHOULD learn in your dog grooming course on top of the basic grooming skills.

So, even if a school tells you they teach safety (and they all will), sift through their curriculum and be sure you\u2019ll at least learn the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Building a First Aid Kit<\/li>\n<li>Assessing a dog\u2019s health<\/li>\n<li>Checking a dog\u2019s vital signs<\/li>\n<li>Responding to emergency situations<\/li>\n<li>Wound care<\/li>\n<li>Rescue breathing techniques<\/li>\n<li>Performing CPR<\/li>\n<li>Responding to heart attacks, seizures, choking, burns, and other emergency situations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Why Many Don\u2019t Teach It:<\/h3>\n<p>Quite frankly, the majority do not teach it because it\u2019s expensive and time consuming!\u00a0There is a lot to learn, adding to the length of your course, and it costs schools a significant amount of money to develop and maintain the content.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of schools who don\u2019t teach you First Aid will argue that it\u2019s not your place as a groomer to perform CPR on your clients. They\u2019ll tell you that if something happens, your job is to send the dog off to the vet. But just think about how you\u2019d feel if you were grooming a senior dog who suffers a seizure while on your table because you didn\u2019t recognize the telltale signs in the first place! Not teaching you how to properly respond to a situation like that is a disservice to you and to your future furry clients.\u00a0 So if you <em>do<\/em> end up in a program that doesn\u2019t teach First Aid, please enroll in a separate First Aid course for the sake of your future clients![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;6444&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][\/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]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Animal_Behavior\"><\/span>Animal Behavior<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3>Why It\u2019s Important:<\/h3>\n<p>The truth is, grooming is stressful for dogs! A dog under stress can be unpredictable and dangerous to someone unable to read the situation. Dogs are complex creatures but they aren\u2019t very mysterious. A dog is always communicating with you. If you\u2019re trained to understand their body language and calming signals, you can avoid dangerous situations before they escalate and someone gets hurt. Unfortunately, many grooming schools don\u2019t consider animal behavior training to be a vital component of your education. This means that they\u2019re training a class of groomers who will be unable to handle difficult dogs and avoid hurting themselves or the pooch.<\/p>\n<h3>What to Look For:<\/h3>\n<p>Some schools will \u201cteach\u201d you dog behavior by simply telling you to avoid difficult grooming cases.\u00a0That\u2019s fine in theory, but the reality is sometimes the calmest, sweetest dog can become a dangerous animal when stressed. Similar to First Aid training, every school will claim to teach you about behavior, but won\u2019t actually teach you anything useful. So dig into it yourself, and make sure you\u2019ll learn about&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Common dog behaviors &amp; body language<\/li>\n<li>Responding to anxiety and aggression<\/li>\n<li>How dogs learn<\/li>\n<li>How to meet and interact with a new dog<\/li>\n<li>Strategies for working with stressed dogs<\/li>\n<li>Interpreting a dog\u2019s temperament<\/li>\n<li>Predicting and preventing reactive or aggressive behavior<\/li>\n<li>Using management tools like muzzles and e-collars<\/li>\n<li>Conducting a needs analysis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Why Many Don\u2019t Teach It:<\/h3>\n<p>Two possibilities. First, maybe the school genuinely doesn\u2019t think a groomer needs to know about animal behavior. Or, they believe that you should \u00a0figure it out on your own. This is a reckless attitude, but it\u2019s possible. Second, and more likely, is that animal behavior is a very controversial topic. People are very passionate when it comes to behavior topics including how dogs learn, how one should react to aggression, etc.\u00a0So instead of teaching it, schools skip the topic to avoid upsetting anyone. Once again, the graduated groomer is set up for an unfavorable outcome and lack the skills they need to succeed![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;6449&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][\/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]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Business_Side_of_Grooming\"><\/span>The Business Side of Grooming<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3>Why It\u2019s Important:<\/h3>\n<p>A lot of groomers enter the industry in hopes of becoming business owners. Owning a grooming business requires you to be more than just a good groomer; you also have to be a good business professional. You\u2019ll have to have a business plan, set up a shop, create a pricing structure, get insurance, market your services\u2026 and the list goes on.\u00a0Wouldn\u2019t it be nice to get help doing all this while you\u2019re in school, instead of just being thrown to the wolves once you have learned the basic grooming skills?<\/p>\n<p>Even if aren\u2019t looking to become an entrepreneur and instead want to be hired by an established salon once you graduate, basic business training can be a huge asset to yourself and your employer! Business training will also help polish up your professional skills like resume writing and rocking that interview!<\/p>\n<h3>What to Look For:<\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019ll want a course that teaches you how to start, run, and expand your dog grooming business! If a course claims to teach business skills, be sure the curriculum includes at least&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Creating your business plan<\/li>\n<li>Regulations and licensing requirements<\/li>\n<li>Naming and registering your business<\/li>\n<li>Handling your finances<\/li>\n<li>Branding and marketing<\/li>\n<li>Setting your prices<\/li>\n<li>Scheduling appointments<\/li>\n<li>Managing client information<\/li>\n<li>Handling customer complaints<\/li>\n<li>Networking and knowledge sharing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Why Many Don\u2019t Teach It:<\/h3>\n<p>Starting to see a pattern here? A lot of courses won\u2019t teach you anything beyond basic grooming skills. They\u2019ll argue that the only important thing a course can do is to teach you how to groom. Whether that\u2019s enough for you to become successful and confident in your profession is up to you!<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no question, dog grooming is a wonderful career that can offer a lifetime of success.
