How We Work

At The Paw Pad, we love dogs, and we believe that the finished look of a dog is as important as the loving care and attention we give our pets. We offer accredited dog grooming courses for dog lovers who want to become professional groomers. There is a suitable course for everyone seeking to set up their own dog grooming business.

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, we train you so all your pooches are perfect!

Proud to be partnered with...

I went to The Paw Pad to complete my Level 3 Diploma and I can say that they are the most genuine and lovely people. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with them and I learnt everything you could need to be a groomer and own your own business. The support have shown throughout the course is outstanding, I would highly recommend them.

After deciding on a change of career I was looking for somewhere to train and I was so pleased I found The Pawpad. Not only did I learn what I needed to, enabling me to open my own grooming salon, but the people are so lovely, patient and flexible. I completed a Dog Grooming Diploma Course then returned some time later to complete my City & Guilds Level 3. Since training at the Pawpad I have grown my business from me working alone to having 2 mote groomers join and have moved to bigger premises. I recommend anyone who is looking for a training school to go to The Pawpad.
