Description

Are you looking for a CPD-accredited training that combines dog caring, grooming, and dog first aid?  This online training from High Skills Training will help you recognise the early signs of distress, address common grooming-related incidents, and support a dog’s health and well-being during grooming. This in-depth course is ideal for dog owners, pet professionals, animal shelter volunteers, and anyone who cares for or works with dogs.

Typically, dog grooming first aid courses focus on either styling or health; this course combines both. You’ll begin by exploring the goals of dog grooming, the correct setup of your grooming area, and how to assess a dog’s condition before starting. From brushing techniques to tool preparation, every step ensures a safe grooming experience.

You’ll also gain insights into detecting behavioural and physical signs of discomfort. Topics include how to respond to circulatory failure, heat-related illness, and shock in dogs. 

The dog first aid training course also provides an overview of the grooming tools and hygiene methods needed for various breeds and coat types. Each lesson is designed to improve your ability to create a stress-free grooming environment while being alert to potential health concerns.

At High Skills Training, we offer 24/7 support with a 14-day money-back guarantee. Enrol today in the dog first aid training and gain the knowledge and confidence to groom safely while staying alert to canine health concerns.
