DOG GROOMING COURSES IN NORTHAMPTON 🐾✂️🎓
DOG GROOMING ACADEMY FASHION GROOMING — PREMIUM DOG GROOMING INTENSIVE
Do you love dogs and want to turn that passion into a stable, creative and profitable profession?
Our Premium Dog Grooming Intensive is more than a course — it’s a fast, well‑designed route from your first salon visit to confident independent work. Through intensive 1:1 practical training you won’t get abstract theory but real hands‑on skills practiced on live models — skills in demand in salons, for mobile grooming and on‑site services.
Training is structured to mirror a real work shift: you will learn how to greet clients, assess coat and behaviour, choose the right tools and products, carry out the full service cycle and deliver a polished result. Approximately 30 real dog models ensure you encounter different breeds, coat types, behavioural traits and challenging cases. We provide 6 hours of post‑course online mentoring to help your first paid jobs go confidently and comfortably.
