In addition to the basic business, we also run courses in dog grooming. These courses are designed to accommodate no more than 1 students at a time so that individual tuition can be given. The courses are planned to give students both an interesting and fast paced experience to bring their skills quickly up to the required level of competence. All of our courses are carefully constructed to meet City and Guilds of London dog grooming standard. All students will be issued with a course work package, a certificate of achievement will be awarded at the end of each course. We do not offer a City and Guilds Certificate.
