Have a look on learn direct, there's lots of courses across the country or maybe you could start out with an apprenticeship so you get plenty of hands on knowledge.

I guess like with anything there are good groomers & bad!
There are people who advertise who do it from their homes, i have a friend who has a proper grooming room set up with all the equipment & she is great but i know when my mum originally looked for a groomer for her little toy poodle she found a lady advertised who did it from home & she wasnt happy at all with the result.
I actually looked into this as well as having the affies & my mum having her poodle i thought it would be a wise move :- "
Dezynadog run courses that you can book that are meant to be very good so i have heard.
I'm lucky that i have one of THE top groomers just down the road from me Anita Bax & she is brilliant, i now do my mums poodle myself & of course the affies :lol:
Lots of luck :luck: , let us know how you get on :thumbsup:

Im a dog groomer, well part time, after my regular day job ! , I did a correspondence course with ICS, they are very good, and with the help from friends who were willing to let me loose on their dogs, I was able to get some hands on experience. Its been almost two years now, and I really enjoy it, getting to meet loads of different breeds, and temperaments ! PM me if you want more info :thumbsup:
Thanks for all the replies. On the course i am doing at the moment we get to do grooming and our first lesson was a very scruffy looking working cocker spaniel and the after results were brilliant (the students just watched on this one :- " !) and it was then that i thought i think this is what i really want to do. So i was just hoping for an insight of how to get going etc. i have wrote to a groomer near me regarding doing a work placement with her so fingers crossed.
