DENTOS Pet Stylist Academy RTO 2875


Students concentrate on basic pet grooming of dogs, including brushing, combing, clipping nails, cleaning ears, bathing, drying techniques, clippering and scissor finishing techniques as well as proper pattern setting for various breeds.
Emphasis is placed on perfecting grooming skills while concentrating on proper breed profile, increasing speed and efficiency while developing maximum grooming potential. The bulk of this training program is spent practicing and perfecting skills with pets under the guidance of trainers in the Pet Stylist Academy training centre.
The curriculum has been designed to ensure that the students perform in a skillful, responsible, and professional manner and that their scope of knowledge creates highly qualified professionals. Under the direction and instruction of seasoned professionals, students acquire the techniques and skills necessary for competence in the field of professional pet grooming and styling. Practical grooming applications and handling techniques are complemented by a structured self-study program. These elements are the foundation of the course.
Fundamental to the method of instruction and content of the training is the student’s capacity for growth. We realise that dog and cat grooming is an art that requires both talent and training.
