Dog grooming and styling is an intricate art form
that has been around since the 1500s.
Professional dog grooming, however, has only been
practiced since around the 1030s in America and
the 1980s in England. When it comes to business
opportunities, the dog grooming profession is
still relatively new. Mastering the art of dog
grooming with formal education from a dog
grooming school will give you endless career

Is Dog Grooming School for Me?
Dog grooming is a very physical career choice.
Handling animals requires a certain amount of
strength, dexterity, balance, hand to eye
coordination, peripheral vision, and great
reflexes. Being able to react to a variety of
situations quickly is a must. This physical skill
set makes the grooming and styling process
pleasant for both the animal and the groomer.
Lifting animals in an out of cages is not like
lifting weights, you will be lifting wriggling,
nervous, scared, or excited animals. Dexterity is
also essential for groomers because if you get in
a situation where you are restraining an animal
with one hand, you will have to use the other
hand for the brush, clipper, or scissors. It
takes coordination and precision to carry out
some grooming jobs.
