Who is this course for?
This course was written for those in the Grooming industry, or pet industry, or who have a love of cats and want to learn the art of Cat Grooming.
Whether you have experience in Cat Grooming or want to learn from the beginning, I will show you my low-stress handling, which has been used by many Cat Groomers successfully in the salon.
This is a knowledge-based course teaching the theory of cat clipping while demonstrating all clips by video.
Prerequisites
Whether you are working for a grooming shop, a veterinary clinic or a cattery, it is recommended to have cats to practice your grooming with to have the full effect of the course. You may choose to simply watch the videos complete the course and apply the knowledge later.
I recommend shorthair, longhair, and different temperaments. It is also recommended to contact me during your training with any questions and grooms you have completed.
The pet owners of the cats must be advised that you are training in cat grooming, as accidents happen, including skin injury, so this must be discussed prior, and you must have public liability insurance to cover your training premises.
Basic behaviour and handling are included, but an in-depth course such as 'behaviour for the cat groomer' would benefit assessing the client and prevent injury to you.
