  • Bathing and drying techniques across different coat types
  • Coat preparation and product selection
  • Applying safe handling and efficient grooming workflows
  • Building confidence working across a range of coat types

What happens next
As practical training progresses, the knowledge from Block 2 is applied directly in real-world grooming situations. Students continue building skills, confidence, and consistency as they move into the next stage of the pathway.
