Hello All, My wife, who runs a home based grooming service in WA is seeking further training. She's already groomed successfully at a vet, in a salon and from home. She doesn't therefore need basic training; she just wants more practice/tuition on the trickier cuts such as poodles. Some general business advice would also be useful. Can anyone please advise how to go about this? She mentioned a day time course in Bentley, but all I can see in the Swan TAFE evening classes, and she's already completed something similar. Thanks in advance for your help, bal PS We don't want to spend megabucks!

Hi Guys, Thanks for your advice on this. I'm well aware of the two dog limit but not that it includes dogs being groomed. We've been upfront with the council, registered the business and had a council inspector round, so don't believe there's an issue. I'll check the small print though. Our neighbours are all on board and friendly, and we're very careful about noise. Regards, bal

Hello All, I'm a first time poster so be gentle on me! My wife's a very competent home based groomer (she's worked/been trained at both a vet and a salon) in WA, but lacks a bit in commercial confidence. She's getting a steady flow of customers (the majority regulars) now the weather's warmer, but due to family commitments (and sanity) can only groom 1-2 dogs per day. Can any of you expereienced home groomers give any advice on how she could develop her business. The obvious (?) answer is to offer additional grooming services / sell extra dog related products when customers visit. Any tips on what? Thanks in advance for your suggestions, bal
