Fir Tree Dog Grooming Academy, Dog Grooming School, Manchester

 

 

Our dog grooming training school is based in Manchester and 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, not a salon operating a training side-line to the business.

We have put together information that should give you details of our courses and answer many of the questions that people often have.  We hope this will assist you in making an informed decision when selecting the right training and the right dog grooming course for you.  Primarily, our courses are structured towards those people who would want to learn to correctly groom dogs and start, or continue, to make a living from professional dog grooming.  It 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 for the dog show ring.

The occupation of a Dog Groomer has evolved over many years to a far more professional level 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, and our training courses have the content to reflect the skills needed.  The tasks and responsibilities undertaken now encompass a wider range of skills and services, for example:

  • Trimming, Styling and correct grooming of a wider range of dogs, with a variety of breed-specific cuts

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

  • 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 these skills are achieved by a combination of training and experience.  At Firtree Grooming Academy we can teach you the required skills to begin your grooming career in styling dogs.  There is no substitute for experience gained over time, but we can assure you of an on-going advisory service to assist you at those times when you may encounter the unexpected - and we're always here for a refresher course or to enhance your grooming skills.

Our dedicated grooming school training staff have many years experience (over 40 years grooming and training) and are qualified in teaching skills that will meet your needs.  We believe that our courses offer the best value for money that it is possible to give.  Our students are trained to cut 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 a quality training provider we can offer the initial training through to the most advanced levels, combined with an on-going consultation and advisory service for all of our students. We have different courses available, so that our training is able to match your personal needs.  Should any of our grooming courses not fully match your needs, then please speak to us, we will be pleased to teach to your requirements.  Presently, our main courses cover basic dog grooming, Canine Beautician (This is our most popular course), enhanced dog grooming skills and specialist breed grooming - follow the links through the site for further information on each of these excellent courses.
