Solid Foundations

This course has been developed to enable students who have had no previous experience handling dogs, to master and understand all aspects of basic dog grooming. 

Scissoring and grooming techniques, maintenance of equipment, breed clips, shampoo ingredients, coat types, skin problems, head styling, and first aid are just a small portion of examples of the knowledge and practical skills needed to become a professional dog groomer. We cover it all!

Immerse yourself in 4 weeks of online theory before the hands-on portion of the course starts, cementing your foundation of knowledge of dogs and basic grooming terms, before attending 4 weeks of practical dog grooming alongside relevant theory (both in-house and online). After your hands-on training is complete, set yourself up for success with another 4 weeks to complete online theory on more advanced techniques to focus on as you grow as a groomer.

Dog Diversity is now delivering Blocks 1, 2 and 3 of igroomschool’s industry certification pathway. Learn more here.

An inhouse certificate of Professional Dog Grooming will be issued upon successful completion of all elements.

Dog Diversity graduates are highly regarded in the industry. Many employers have commented on the difference they see in our graduates compared to other grooming schools. What are they saying? Overall, they report that our graduates have superior handling skills, more knowledge across a broader range of breeds and dog grooming practices, and better overall competency with grooming tools.

Our students are so well-equipped (we believe) because we love what we do, and are able to focus on what each student needs individually, rather than what a large class might need as a whole. We have been doing this for a long time, and it shows in the quality of dog groomers we are producing. Nat alone has been training groomers for 30+ years! We are committed to the success of each and every student that comes through our doors, with ongoing support when your course is over.
