Course overview

Want to keep your furry friend looking fabulous between professional grooming sessions? Join our Pampered Pooch course — a fun, informative and hands-on day of learning designed just for dog lovers like you!

In just one day, you’ll learn:

  • The must-have shampoos, brushes, and tools every dog owner needs
  • How to banish tangles and keep your dogs coat smooth, shiny, and mat-free

Our training takes place in a real working grooming salon, right here on our beautiful, easy-to-reach campus. With modern student facilities, a welcoming reception area, and loads of support, you’ll enjoy every minute of your learning experience.

Whether you’re thinking of a future in dog grooming or just want to give your pet the best care, this day is for you!

This is a practical course which takes place within the grooming facility within the college.

In the interest of health and safety owners are asked to confirm the type of breed and behavioural characteristics of their dog. All dogs must have up to date vaccination details.

  • Any grooming equipment you may already have

Things to do before attending the course:
  • Ensure that your dog’s vaccinations and your Tetanus protection are up to date.
  • Lunch is not provided, and as it is a weekend course, there are no catering outlets open, so please remember to bring a packed lunch and bottled drinks with you. Tea and coffee are provided.
