Locations

You can choose to do your "DIY Dog Grooming Workshop" at any of the following locations:

DOG COLLECTIVE CO. STUDIO:

You can choose to do your "DIY Dog Grooming Workshop" at the Dog Collective Co. private grooming studio based in Southport on the Gold Coast. This option is available for both one on one training and group training sessions.

YOUR HOME:

Your home is a familiar setting for your dog, an environment where your dog feels comfortable. This is also where your dogs future grooming (by you) will take place, therefore, this is a popular choice when it comes to learning to groom your own dog. As your home isn't specifically designed for dog grooming, we will discuss the best location/s to set up for your workshop as well as future grooms on your own.

OTHER LOCATIONS:

As long as we have access to power and water this workshop can be held at a venue to suit you.

Grooming equipment & products

What do you need to supply?

Just BYO Dog (or dogs)! All grooming tools, equipment and products will be provided by Dog Collective Co. for your training session. (All we ask is you supply your own towel if your training is not taking place in the Dog Collective Co. Studio). We will also discuss what tools and items you'll need to successfully complete your dogs grooms in the future. Dog Collective Co. can also arrange supply of your own dog grooming kit specifically designed for your dogs future grooming needs.

"Learn to Groom Your Own Dog" Testimonials

Jeni & Sunny
"Learn to Groom Your Own Dog Workshop" 2020

Never having had a 'fluffy' dog before, I was keen to learn how to look after her properly. When I realised Tammy would actually teach you how to groom your own dog yourself, I signed up straight away.

I was very interested in learning how to do a groom in a professional way, because who knows in the near future when I retire, I might even start a new career as a dog groomer.

Tammy was very welcoming and we didn't waste any time getting to the hands on stuff. I didn't need to feel stressed about remembering everything, as she had compiled a manual with all the steps and instructions clearly set out, with lots of photos and explanations. This has been great to refer to at home, because you really do cover a lot of stuff in the session.

With Tammy's guidance, I gained confidence as we went through the various grooming tasks. I am still to do a groom at home by myself, but after the 'Learn to groom' course, I do feel confident that I know what to do. I also am reassured that Tammy is only a phone call away, if I find something a bit tricky.

I would highly recommend this course. My little dog is very shy and I can't imagine leaving her with a stranger. She would just find it too stressful. Now I can have her looking her best without having to worry.

I came along to Tammy's learn to groom your dog workshop and learnt how to style my dogs to a professional standard. Tammy's skills were definitely to a very high standard and it is great that she is happy to help pass these skills on to others.

DIY Dog Grooming Workshop with Dog Collective Co. - what a worthy investment! We took our 6 month old Cavoodle puppy to Tammy to help us learn to groom him at home. Our pup is a little bit 'special' and struggled with other groomers who simply told us to "train him to do what we want him to do" which wasn't possible in our case. Tammy helped us learn to work with our pup and his needs creating a much less stressful experience for all involved. She was fantastic at teaching and supporting us through a full groom with all the bells and whistles. I couldn't recommend the workshop enough!
