One Day Course £75
This course is for pet owners who wish to keep their own dogs neat and tidy between visits to the parlour, to keep a long coated dog in full coat or as an introduction to dog grooming. There is no breed specific clipping or styling as we believe that one day does not give you enough time to learn and practice all that is necessary to safely clip, scissor and style your dog.
