charlie mouse Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Hi Everyone I am trying to find a good grooming training course to go on as i want to start my own mobile dog wash, can anyone recommend anywhere ? I live in Adelaide but am prepared to travel to get the right training. Thanks A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldiesRgr8Poodles2 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Try the WEA.. One of my groomers did that course and said it was good for basics which as a mobile is all you'll need. They'll teach you to wash and dry and brush. Wont need much clipping though as mobile is pretty much all washing. All I can say is if you have worked as a groomer before... DONT start as a mobile.. You'll fall flat on your arse in about 12 months max! and thats if you have a popular franchise. Get a job in a salon first and work there for about 12 months and see how your back is and your wrists... Ive been in the industry for 3 years and my shoulders and back are always sore and i strap my wrists at night because of RSI. Its very hard physical work... And being mobile you'll mostly come across the big dogs that are harder work to wash than the little ones. A staff member of mine went solo and mobile and with experience her mobile wasnt sucessfull. Its a hard industry. Hope ive helped a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
