All our staff are fully trained, friendly and completely understand that the decision you have taken to change career is one of the biggest you will ever make. We are here put you at ease with this transition and we are available any time after you graduate for free, on-going support.
The dog grooming business is a lovely career choice, and it can be lucrative; during times of recession, the pet industry tends to survive barely unscathed. You’ll meet friends you’ll have for life and fall in love with hundreds of dogs. One of the best feelings comes on the day a dog who has previously been scared of the groomer finally relaxes and lets you clip their nails, dry their head or trim their pads. It’s gaining that trust that makes it all worthwhile and here at The Paw Pad Dog Grooming Academy in Cheshire, we train you so all your pooches are perfect!
