We dont agree in dogs being left in cages all day, so as soon as your dog arrives in the salon, the grooming will begin. You will then receive a courtesy call, or text if you prefer, letting you know exactly when your dog will be ready for collection. Grooming time is normally 1-2 hours, depending on breed and coat type. The City and Guilds Certificate in dog Grooming is an Internationally recognised qualification, that gives everybody reassurance that the holder has reached and demonstrated a standard of professional competence measured across the industry. Throughout the course experience and education is received involving grooming and styling techniques, health and safety, working with people and animals. Therefore, this Certificate is proof that the right qualification has been achieved to do the job well and is highly recognised and respected within the industry.
