Comprehensive Dog Grooming Theory for the modern Groomers Assistant

COURSES INCLUDED IN THIS BUNDLE

Block 1 Theory | Foundations of Dog Grooming

This is where strong grooming habits start. Block 1 builds essential knowledge around dogs, their needs, and how grooming fits into their lives.


You’ll cover canine care basics, behaviour and communication, life stages, WHS, hygiene, and first aid, alongside an introduction to grooming tools and processes. There’s also a solid grounding in bathing, drying, and understanding shampoo ingredients, so you know not just what to use, but why.


This block sets the standard for safe, thoughtful, and confident grooming from day one.

Block 2 Theory | Groomers Assistant

Block 2 takes that foundation and turns it into practical, day-to-day grooming knowledge.


You’ll dive deeper into grooming tools and how to use and maintain them correctly, along with coat-specific bathing and drying techniques. 

Tutorials break down smooth, curly, drop, wire, double, and hairless coats, helping you understand what each coat type actually needs.


While this block is theory-based, it’s designed to directly support hands-on learning, giving you the understanding to groom with confidence, consistency, and care.
