Step 1: Is this the Career for You?
Do you have the ability to get close to a variety of animals, do you enjoy spending time with dogs and cats? If the answer is yes then you may enjoy the job of grooming animals.Are you bothered by wet dog hair or the sound of barking dogs? If so, you may want to reconsider this career.
Do you have some sense of artistic expression, do you or have you ever taken art classes, do you think you could develop this skill? Advanced techniques in clipping and breed cuts require at least some interpretive stylistic ability.
