Co-operative Dog Grooming

The Co-operative Dog Groomer Award is designed for professional dog groomers who want to learn modern techniques for stress-free grooming. You will learn how to use kinder, methods to ensure that the grooming experience is as enjoyable and as stress-free as possible for every dog. It will show you how to teach dogs to love the grooming table, clippers, the bath, the blow dryer, scissors and more. Whether it is the dog’s very first visit to the salon or they have already developed a fear, you can help them. You’ll learn how to recognise even the most subtle signs of stress, and you’ll be well equipped on how exactly you can help a dog who is feeling stressed. Detailed guides on desensitisation and counterconditioning techniques are provided. You’ll learn how to set up the shop environment to help ensure stress free grooms, from the moment a pet enters the salon, throughout the groom, and until the moment they leave. This includes the shop layout, sights, sounds, smells, entrances and exits, and more. All this leads to happier dogs, regular visits, and satisfied dog guardians who tell others about how relaxed their dog was at your shop. Decrease the stress on you, the dogs and their guardians, and increase your revenue!

Human Canine Interactions

The aim of the course is to provide learners with an academically challenging learning experience that enhances their work in the role of canine behaviourist or dog trainer. It is designed to build upon an existing knowledge of canine behaviour and human interactions but provide a much greater depth of understanding, that goes way beyond the subject matter. The course introduces learners to a more holistic and global perspective of human/dog interaction and encourages critical analysis of theory and personal experience.
