What Our Students Are Saying
Frequently Asked Questions
What would happen if dog grooming became regulated?
Wales is the closest real-world reference point right now, because the Welsh Government has been developing a national model for animal welfare activities and has specifically noted that pet grooming is currently unregulated and would be considered as a later phase. Learn more
Based on how UK animal-activity licensing works elsewhere, regulation would most likely look like licensing plus demonstrable competence — not a sudden demand for one single “approved” qualification. In England’s statutory licensing guidance for animal activities, competence can be evidenced either by an Ofqual-regulated qualification or by relevant knowledge and experience, and where no accredited course exists, industry training evidence can be used. Learn more
That’s why long-running, practical training routes tend to hold up well: a track record, clear welfare standards, safe handling, and credible training history are exactly the kinds of things licensing frameworks look for. (As always, the exact details would depend on what the government introduces — but regulation rarely wipes out an entire established industry overnight.)
How long does it take to become a professional dog groomer in Crewe?
The time it takes to become a professional dog groomer in Crewe largely depends on the level of training you choose, the dog grooming course duration, and your personal goals.
At The Paw Pad, the Level 3 Dog Grooming Courses (15-Day or Extended 20-Day) offer more in-depth training. These advanced courses dive deeper into breed-specific dog grooming styles, business management, and more complex grooming tasks.
