Grooming

We have warm hearts for cold noses and we welcome all sizes, types and breeds of dog.

Dogs arriving at the salon get one to one stress free attention. They even have their own secure and enclosed garden should they need to toilet before, during or after their groom!

The salon is lovely and toasty warm in the colder months and nice and cool in the summer months thanks to the air conditioning.

There are many great benefits to having your dog professionally groomed:

  • Healthy and shiny coats which shed a lot less
  • Prevents coats from matting
  • Early detection of any skin or health issues
  • Reduces skin complaints
  • Reduces the chances of ear infections
  • Trimming nails reduces risk of developing a bad posture
  • Better hygiene and smell

I always ask permission from my clients if I would ever like to use their pooch as a ‘Student Dog’ in the salon. I always ask the owners to sign a ‘Student Dog’ permission form prior to the groom (of which I will be stood at the Students side) and the owner has the benefit of getting a quality groom and an attractively discounted price.

Win Win…!

*This is only available if I have groomed the dog at least 3 times in the salon to allow for a full assessment to be carried out, to ensure the safety and suitability for both the dog and the student.

Fancy something different?!

We offer occasional ‘creative grooming’ depending upon the dogs coat, temperament and design but this will need to be discussed prior.

All colours whether temporary or permanent are from the Opawz range which are completely safe and designed for doggy designs.

Fast Track Qualification (OCN) – Experienced Groomers Only

Fast-track options for experienced groomers seeking qualification.

We know many experienced groomers would like to be able to say they are also qualified and have their skill validated. However, exams can be daunting, and the cost can escalate if you need practice to prepare for them. That is why we offer a fast-track solution to qualification, assessed through coursework and ongoing demonstration providing a great opportunity for experienced groomers to achieve level 3 qualification status without the need for first completing a level 2 qualification. This route is also ideal for students who hold the City and Guilds Intro Certificate but who have not yet reached the City and Guilds Level 3 Diploma. Both diplomas have the same value on the national framework but are simply awarded by different organisations.

There are two fast track options:

Option 1) Complete the qualification at your premises with your own dogs.

£1500 per registration

Option 2) Complete the qualification at Pawsome Paws Training Centre with our dog models.

£1250 per registration

*additional expenses for travel / accommodation may be charged based on location of but will be negotiated before you commit.

Professional Dog Grooming Level 3 Diploma (OCN)- 25 days

The Level 3 Diploma in Dog Grooming Qualification Awarded by Open College Network West Midlands is a recognised Level 3 (A level) Qualification approved by Ofqual.

You do not need any prior experience to start this course or to have completed a Level 2 first. Unlike other qualifications of the same stature, there are no pre-requisites to starting the course, meaning you can join at level 3 without having completed a lower-level course first. There is also no final examination at the end which most students find daunting on other courses available.

Over the period of 25 days, you will groom a minimum of 10 different breeds in a minimum of 15 different styles. This exceeds other courses available and we believe gives our students a solid foundation on which to continue developing their skills and career.

The qualification will demonstrate to an employer and/or the general public should you wish to become self employed , that you have the necessary technical skills and knowledge to successfully groom a variety of dogs. This is a formal, regulated, nationally recognised qualification that will remain relevant throughout your career.

It has been designed specifically for those looking to become professional dog groomers or those who already groom dogs (as a hobby or career) but do not currently hold a nationally recognised qualification. For experienced groomers, we can offer a fast-track plan to gaining the qualification by skill demonstration.
