You will only require the ideal expertise and the freedom to establish the value of your work. So, if you wish to get self-employed, this uniquely designed Dog Grooming and Care course has got your back.

By enrolling in this course, you can learn everything you need to know to ensure your dog's safety and well-being. It will improve your employability in the animal care industry.

This course will start by teaching you how to properly groom a dog through a series of modules and demonstrations. We will explain how to deal with difficult dogs and maintain their training.
