1. Opening a dog grooming business means that I need to be a dog groomer.
ANSWER: this is False. You don’t need to be a dog groomer to open your own salon. However, we strongly recommend that you take at least a five-day hands-on training course. Go to a Dog Grooming training centre. Bathe and dry and brush out dogs. Get some experience trimming nails, cleaning ears, doing a pre-grooming consultation. Learn about clipping and scissoring and styling. You need to appreciate what dog grooming is really all about.

Dog grooming is really difficult. There is no way I will be able to learn all the different styles for all the different breeds.
ANSWER: this is False. Dog grooming is challenging and requires a lot of training and experience before you get really good at it. You’ll certainly have to get good at dog handling. You have to be thorough with your shampooing, rinsing, drying and brushing out. When it comes to clipping, styling and scissoring however, it’s mostly just a few small variations you’ll have to make between different breeds.
Recommendation: we highly recommend Melissa Verplank’s book The Theory of Five. This is loaded with great illustrations showing you the different styles you’ll need to know. The great lesson of this book is an approach to grooming that stops you from over-thinking it. Get your head around the basic shapes and styling techniques and for most breeds you can provide a good groom for a pet dog.
