LEARN TO GROOM YOUR OWN DOG WORKSHOPS
LEARN TO GROOM YOUR OWN DOG WORKSHOPS
Welcome fellow dog lover. Just by being here you've taken the first step in becoming your dogs own personal hairdresser, nail technician, stylist or overall "dogsbody". Having been in the dog grooming industry for many years, a comment that's often heard is "I wish I could do that". Wish no more as Dog Collective Co. can get you up to scratch with how to care for your dogs grooming needs.​
- Want to learn how to properly groom your own dog?
- Want to know how to upkeep your dog in between grooms? (You know, their nails, that hair around their eye's & booty)
- Does your dog get stressed when it goes to the groomers and you wish you could just groom it yourself?
- Do you want to save money by grooming your own dog?
- Do you live too far from the groomer?
- Can you simply not bare being away from your fur baby when it visits the groomer?
What ever your reason, Dog Collective Co. can teach you all you need to know to groom your four legged bestie.
These workshops are kept small and intimate with a maximum of 3 dogs so they can be personalised to you and your dogs needs. Also, you're most welcome to bring along a friend, partner, family member etc. too!
If you own 2 dogs and want to do the workshop with both, it's required that you bring a partner to do the other dog. Alternatively, you do the workshop with just one of your fur babies and practice what you've learnt on the other one at home!
To top it off, by the end of your workshop you'll have a freshly groomed dog too, WOOF!
Dog Collective Co. is based in Southport on the Gold Coast in QLD.
Love 'n' Licks,

"Learn to Groom Your Own Dog Workshop"
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!
