COURSE OVERVIEW
Theory Block 3 | Pet Stylist builds on the foundations covered in Blocks 1 and 2 and focuses on the theory behind complete pet grooms. It covers grooming room setup, workplace health and safety, ergonomics, and the decisions that sit behind everyday grooming routines, as well as breed and mixed-breed styling theory commonly seen in grooming work. This block prepares learners to understand full grooms from start to finish, including adapting techniques for puppies, seniors and matted dogs, while building confidence to handle a wide range of grooming scenarios.

What students say about Block 3 Theory

     
“This course was super in depth and I learnt a lot more, especially because I am independently studying as the only groomer in my salon.”
SHARI
     
“I really enjoyed learning new cuts. I'm just a new groomer so its been fantastic to watch and learn. ”
SONYA
     
“The course was informative, the variety of groomers helped with the understanding and seeing each groomer have their own way of grooming, but have a general consistant approach was refreshing.”
