SUPPORT FOR GROOMING BUSINESSES
On the Job Training with The Blocks
Foundation Knowledge
Block one is all about getting to know dogs on a physiological level. Students will explore canine culture, basic care of dogs, understand their life cycles, instincts and behaviours. We also look at first aid, introduce basic grooming tools and concepts, and important WHS for the industry. Students can complete this Block prior to any practical training at their workplace.
Bathing, Brushing, Basics
In Block 2, students will deepen their understanding of dog grooming tools, their use on particular coat types, and maintenance. Students explore shampoos, baths and dryers and the unique techniques to use them, and will be guided through 12 bathing and drying tutorials across the different coat types. This Block is best started right after Block 1, and suitable for bathers and groomers assistants. We strongly recommend completing Block 1 as a prerequisite.
From Student to Stylist
Block 3, Pet Stylist, is a comprehensive guide to grooming. It covers workplace health and safety, including grooming room setup, ergonomics for large dogs, and first aid principles with veterinary nurse Kim Sheridan. The course also teaches bathing, drying, and basic clipping techniques, as well as specialized theory and tutorials for full grooms on specific breeds and mixed breeds commonly seen in the salon. Additionally, it addresses special care grooming cases like matted dogs, puppies, and seniors/geriatrics.
