Training Needed
Pet groomers must have a high school diploma or equivalent. To prepare for a pet grooming career, new groomers can enter a grooming apprenticeship or enroll in a state-approved dog grooming school. Groomers typically choose an apprenticeship in order to gain practical knowledge and hands-on experience. Apprenticeships last one year and allow groomers to work under the close supervision of a more experienced groomer.* |
