So you're thinking about dog grooming as a career?
Since the start of the pandemic, so much has changed, particularly with everyone's jobs and careers. Not only has the pet industry boomed but also working from home has become more of a thing.
I started my grooming career during the 2008 recession and I have never looked back, in so far to say it feels like I have never worked a day in my life. I wanted something that I could do from home, choose my own hours and have the time with my children. Dog grooming has also played a significant part of my healing towards my emotional health too; after all most animals have healing energy, unconditional love and not overly judgemental!
I have trained students for 14 years and been a dog groomer for 17 years and every student has commented how it had helped with their anxiety, depression, and confidence and has given them a purpose as well as a good income.
Indeed dog grooming can be very lucrative but that doesn't mean it can't be hard on the body especially.
So how much is this?
Set up costs are relatively small considering the potential of the business. I estimate around £3k for your equipment, I charge £2250 for my 3 week course which can take you to qualification (additional cost and time) there are also very expensive courses out there too unfortunately but if you can do it from home such a garage, outbuilding or even a large summerhouse (12 x 12ft is plenty) shop or van if mobile then other considerations are plumbing, lighting, drainage and possible planning permission although dog grooming is ancillary to the dwelling and each council is discretionary.

Testimonials
Hear from our graduates about their experience learning with Leicester Dog Grooming.
Bernie of Leicester Grooming was a patient, very friendly, thorough teacher, and has enabled me to set up my own grooming business in Melton Mowbray after completing the flexible 8 week intensive course, which I was able to complete over a longer period of time due to other commitments. One of many courses she offers. She continues even after I have qualified to give free good advice at the end of a phone and also has given me the opportunity to seek face to face tuition post course. Very friendly atmosphere to learn in a your own pace.
