Welcome to Grooming.dog’s Vocational Training Course, where passion meets profession in the art of dog grooming!
As the largest, busiest, and most reviewed grooming salon in Ireland, you won’t get a better education in dog grooming. Our course is led by the very talented and multi-awarding-winning Dermot Alford, alongside our world class team of groomers/tutors with decades of professional and award-winning experience.
We are proud to be self-certified, which means we don’t answer to accrediting bodies, allowing us to offer a more modern, flexible, hands-on, learning experience at our state of the art salon that produces better results for our students at a fraction of the price you’ll pay elsewhere.
What matters is reputation, reviews, and results. If you want the best, come and learn from the best.
