THE
FIRTREE GROOMING ACADEMY BASIC GROOMING COURSE
Each course
consists of 3 days (based during Monday – Friday) tuition and practical
training. In the unlikely
event that any day is missed or disrupted due to our fault, students will
be offered the option to receive tuition on the Saturday following the
course. We restrict each
course to a small number of students, as we want you to have the best
possible personal tuition. Our student numbers for each course are generally restricted
to a maximum of six people. A
course schedule will be provided to all students prior to commencement. We have a wide
variety of major breeds on our data-base, which require professional
grooming skills and students will be handling and grooming these dogs at
some point during the course. We
are aware that this course is attractive to those who wish to groom the
dog(s) that they own, therefore we are happy to accommodate your own dog(s)
for grooming during the course – on which days you will be invited to
bring him/her (them?) along with you.
We have a very strong belief that students must understand the
theory as well as the practice of grooming, so your course will include
some theory as well as practical tuition.
For example, it is imperative that anyone who is grooming a dog
knows the confirmation (general skeleton) and knows how to recognise skin
conditions, along with the various grooming tools and their correct use
and maintenance. The course
will include familiarisation in handling the dogs (not all sweet tempered
and co-operative!), bathing, grooming, drying, etc. As well as a basic introduction to using the clippers and
correct grooming tools. Students
will be taught ear inspections and cleaning, training on recognising ear
infections and problems as well as correct nail trimming and finishing. You are welcome to use our own grooming equipment on this course. However, we imagine some students are likely to be in possession of their own grooming equipment (including grooming clippers) and we are happy for you to bring this along should you wish to do so. We will advise all students on the equipment that they will need to bring with them. If you need to purchase any equipment, we will be happy to provide supplier details should you need it (some of whom we have preferential terms agreed with for our students). Our course is structured to give you an ability to groom a dog to a good standard and we don’t compromise our standards or content. If you are intending to groom for exhibition, it will be beneficial to let us know this, and the breed concerned, as early as possible before you attend the course. We will always be here as a help and advisory service for you and if ‘junior’ or you are having any grooming problems, we’ll be happy to help or advise.
