Fir Tree Dog Grooming Academy, Dog Grooming School, Manchester

 

 

Our dog grooming training school, located in a rural area of Sale near Manchester, offers courses to students from across the UK and overseas, who wish to learn the professional skills required for styling and grooming dogs. We are a school dedicated to teaching the skills of professional dog grooming and styling, not a salon operating a training side-line to the business.

Our web site details information on our courses and will answer many of the questions that people considering a dog grooming career often have. We hope this will assist you in making an informed decision when selecting the right dog grooming course and training to meet your requirements. Primarily, our courses are structured towards those people who wish correctly style and groom dogs in a professional capacity. The courses will be of particular interest to those people who are intending to open their own grooming salon, or who may wish to add a dog grooming salon onto an existing business (Pet shops, Boarding Kennels, Veterinary Surgeries, etc.). Alternatively, we are able to train those who wish to learn how to groom for non-commercial use, for example, to enable you to groom your own pet(s), or those who wish to have the skills to groom dogs for the show ring.

The occupation of a Dog Groomer (Dog Stylist) has evolved over many years to a far more professionally recognised status than ever before. It has become widely accepted throughout the trade and with the general public that it is referred to as a Canine Beautician, or Dog Stylist. Our training courses have the content to reflect the skills and ability to reach this professional level of dog grooming and styling. The tasks and responsibilities undertaken now encompass a wider range of skills and services, for example:

  • Trimming, Styling and correct grooming of a wide range of dogs, with a breed-specific styling

  • Advice and applications of a wide range of skin-care and coat-care

  • Undertaking primary health checks on each animal to advise the owner of any potential problems which may require treatment or veterinary attention

  • Advising owners on basic grooming maintenance skills and treatments for each animal during periods between grooming appointments

All of our dog grooming courses include a combination of study based subjects and practical hands-on grooming skills. At Fir Tree Grooming Academy we will teach you all of the skills required to commence a career or a business, focussed on grooming and styling dogs at a professional level. There is no substitute for experience gained over time, but we are able to assure our students of an on-going advisory service to assist should they encounter anything unexpected - and we're always here for a refresher course or to further enhance your grooming skills and qualifications.

Our dedicated grooming school training staff have many years experience (over 50 years combined grooming and training) and are qualified teachers. We believe that our courses offer the best value dog grooming training experience that it is possible to supply. Our students are trained to trim and style dogs and not, as we see far too often today, to simply shear off the coat and leave every breed of dog looking the same as the next!

As one of the UK's leading dog grooming training providers we can offer practical hands-on training through to some of the most advanced dog grooming qualifications available. All of our courses include access to an on-going consultation and advisory service for our former students. A range of different courses are available so that our training is able to meet your personal needs. Our courses cover Basic Dog Grooming, Canine Beautician Diploma (our most popular course), Enhanced Dog Grooming Skills and Specialist Breed Grooming, alongside the range of City & Guilds qualifications in dog grooming.
