Advanced Diploma in Dog Grooming Level 3

Overview

There doesn’t seem to be a better time than now to become a dog groomer and have a career in the animal care industry. You can gain employment as a dog groomer or start your own business, the course is your first step to take that path. The Advanced Diploma in Dog Grooming at QLS Level 3 course has opened up a world of opportunities to turn your love of animals into a successful business. Grooming is no longer a luxury. With pet owners on the increase and fast-paced lifestyles, grooming has become a part of the animal care regime. Grooming is essential to maintaining animal health and welfare and is widely performed on pets and livestock.

It is natural for animals to groom themselves, however, there may be hard to reach places and in such situations the human owner must step it. The Advanced Diploma in Dog Grooming at QLS Level 3 is a comprehensive training that will teach individuals to perform grooming tasks aside from the natural grooming process.

Some dogs have short fur and others have long fur. This means a variety of grooming tasks need to be maintained for the animal in your care. The Advanced Diploma in Dog Grooming at QLS Level 3 will cover key topics on dog grooming like the best tools, understanding types of coats, practicing safety procedures during grooming and how to approach a dog during a grooming session.
