Short Courses - a Practical Introduction

If you have some animal handling experience, a Dog Diversity Short Course will provide you with an understanding of basic industry specific grooming techniques in a safe and stress-free environment. We provide you with a training manual, and a workbook for you to complete alongside the practical training. Occasionally this 10 day course is offered as an 8 day course.

You will learn correct bathing and brushing techniques, build on your animal handling, basic clipping and scissoring skills, nail clipping, maintenance of equipment, breed ID,  and touch on canine first aid, OHS and customer service. For start-up advice and business coaching, please see here.

All of our courses now come with a juicy online pre-prac training module to get you ready for your first day!

Contact us for further information and pricing.

These short courses focus on learning to groom dogs. If you are thinking of starting up a business after your course and you’d like some business advice, please note we have written a very comprehensive Dog Grooming Business 101 Course, and a Dog Grooming Business Coaching Course in conjunction with igroomhub. You can access more information here. Members of igroomhub receive discounts on these courses, and a 2 week membership subscription comes with your training at Dog Diversity.
