Bite-sized dog grooming courses recently developed by The College of Animal Welfare’s dog grooming team, will give dog owners in the Huntingdonshire area the opportunity to learn more about how to care for, and groom, their dog’s coat.
The new, two-part, courses starting in October at our centre in Godmanchester, will begin by allowing the observation of a dog grooming demonstration by a qualified dog groomer in the College’s state-of-the-art grooming parlour; learning about shampoo choices, available equipment and spotting signs of parasites, foreign bodies and matted fur. In part two, dog owners will be able to groom their own dog with trained groomers on hand to guide and advise on the best techniques for their particular dog.
Fiona McDade, Dog Grooming Lecturer, said: “Our grooming school has an excellent reputation locally and, after taking on board the repeated requests of our clients for these courses, we’re really excited to now be in a position to offer them”. She continued “Regular grooming is so important; it can help identify any lumps and bumps, increase the bond between dog and owner, and prevent potential medical problems such as grass seeds in paws and ears”.
Priced at just £20, places on the October and November courses can be booked online now at www.caw.ac.uk/cpd.
