How Do I Become A Pet Groomer?
Ever wondered what it really takes to become a professional pet groomer? Shannon and Tanya of Hound Therapy discuss this challenging yet rewarding career path, offering candid insights that go far beyond the "I love dogs" mentality that draws many to the profession.
The stark reality they reveal might surprise you: pet grooming remains completely unregulated, placing the onus of quality education entirely on the individual. While anyone can technically call themselves a groomer without formal training, Shannon and Tanya emphasize that proper education—like their comprehensive year-long academy program—makes all the difference between struggling and thriving in this competitive field.
"This is not for the faint-hearted," Tanya warns, detailing the physical demands of lifting heavy dogs, standing for hours, and handling difficult animals—sometimes getting bitten in the process. The hosts share eye-opening perspectives on client management challenges, including dealing with unrealistic expectations when owners bring in photoshopped images of entirely different breeds. Their most telling insight? "The dogs don't pay you, the people do," highlighting the dual skill set required for success.
Despite these challenges, the hosts remain passionate advocates for the profession, emphasizing its unique rewards and flexibility. They offer practical advice for aspiring groomers: write a business plan, research your local market, observe professionals at work, and most importantly, learn from anyone willing to teach you. Whether you're considering entering the field or simply curious about what your dog's groomer really goes through, this episode provides an honest, unfiltered look at the realities behind the clippers.

Our motto humanity over vanity.
And don't worry, we don't bite.
Let's get started.
Who let the dogs out?
Who?
Speaker 2 (00:37):
let the dogs out.
From clippers to confidence.
Becoming a pet groomer takesmore than just loving dogs.
Shannon and Tanya share what itreally takes to enter the
grooming profession fromtraining to temperament and
everything in between.
Welcome back everyone.
I'm Sofia Yvette, co-host andproducer, back in the studio
(00:58):
with Shannon and Tanya,professional groomers at Hound
Therapy.
How's it going today?
Ladies?
It's fantastic.
Thank you Well.
It is so great to have you bothback on today.
Now let's go ahead and kick offthis Academy showcase with the
basics.
How do you become a pet groomer?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Oh, loaded question.
So you know we get phone callsevery day.
We obviously have an Academyhere Hound Therapy Academy.
Our school is a full, solidyear.
It's a year of learning.
It's what you have to be incosmetology or barber's licenses
in the state of Texas is a 1500hour course.
So we kind of came upon thatfrom that same aspect.
(01:38):
But, that said, nothing isrequired to be a dog groomer.
If you want to go out and youwant to have confidence, you
really need to practice,practice, practice.
If you can learn from anybodywho will teach you, educate
yourself too, Like a hundredpercent and and you know, use
common sense right.
If you can see that, hey, thisdoesn't look right or feel right
(02:00):
, then it's probably not.
So learn what not to do is goodas well.
We don't want to continue.
We believe in bringing the bestfoot forward.
I want, I believe in what I do.
I love what I do.
I love working with the animals, I love educating our owners
and I love educating youngergroomers or, you know, brand new
(02:20):
people in the field that reallythink that that's going to be a
great career.
I want them to love it as muchas I do, but, more importantly,
I want them to take the time,the effort and the money that it
takes to invest into anythingand initiative and an initiative
and anything to make it work.
You need to join this and be inthis business because you love
(02:41):
it, not because it makesmillions of dollars, because, in
theory, being a great footballplayer, a lot of really good
players do not make NFL.
And this is that same theory.
If you talk to a really goodgroomer who's been grooming 20,
30, 40 years, somebody who maybehas a specialty that's only
been grooming 10 years, they'rean expert on the grooming field,
(03:07):
but they're not.
There are no experts.
Everybody is just kind ofmaking up as it goes because
there is no.
We are unregulated, and I thinkI've said this on many, many
podcasts before I say it toeverybody that comes in here,
it's on our website we areunregulated, so this is on you
to take it upon yourself to putyour best foot forward.
(03:29):
You want vets to respect you.
The only way they're going torespect you is if you bring
something to the table.
We bring care of dogs first,above all and foremost.
We bring an education, so webring the fact that, hey look,
this is what an ear infectionmay or may or moles, things like
(03:50):
that.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
You have to know like it's good, bad and ugly.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
You're going to get dirty.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
You're going to get tired.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Yeah, this is not for the faint hearted, it is not
for somebody who's feeble, it isnot for somebody that does not
have a good work ethic.
You've got to stick with this.
It is backbreaking, thanklessjob.
People that come in, they'llbulldoze you, they will run you
down with.
I want my dog to look like this, and here's a Photoshop of you
(04:19):
know fluffy, and that's not yourdog.
It's not even the same breed,or is it the same color?
There's no, it's.
You've got to deal with reality.
And if you don't know how to dothis job, if you can't hold a
dog, handle a dog, control a dogthese are all things that we
teach you.
Our bathing class is threemonths long.
That is just to be able tobathe and dry a dog properly.
(04:41):
Focus on the skin, focus onwhat skin conditions may or may
not be there.
Focus on animal to animaltransmitted diseases, on animal
to human transmitted diseases.
It's common sense, it's inbooks, everywhere, but there is
no book on how to groom a dogproperly from start to finish.
We teach that.
We teach how to answer thephones, how to talk to clients,
how to groom a dog, how to holda dog, how to do a face, how to
(05:03):
do patterns there's so much tolearn and how to retain your
clients and how to retain it.
It is mind boggling how muchinformation in one year.
It goes so quickly.
And even my one year studentsthey get, they get jobs.
They they feel like they couldgo groom somewhere.
But they come in here with theidea of I'm going to go start a
(05:24):
business and I'm going to dothis and I'm going to, and they
leave.
They look at me and I say okay,well, you know, you've done
your time, You've done yourhours, You're doing great.
You know, call me if you needme and they're like I don't want
to leave, I don't.
I'm nervous, I'm scared.
You know, even when I I playstudents in job placements and
(05:58):
no-transcript there's no.
I don't know what you would say, Sophia, if I said you know
what?
I took an online class on howto do layering and coloring for
your hair.
I'm awesome at it.
I don't think you're gonna sitdown in my chair and be like
that sounds awesome.
You probably learned it really,really well.
You know, I mean, we're notgonna.
(06:20):
I took a driver's ed class andI'm a horrible driver.
It was all online, so you'vegot to.
This is a hands-on career.
You have to be hands-on.
Every dog is different, everycode is different.
The cuts that we do here arenot akc.
They're not in books.
You just have to know thatgroomers.
Yes, the only way to know it isto do it, and you've got to do
(06:41):
it with somebody who's willingto teach you, somebody who's
been around a while that'swilling to teach you the tricks,
the ins and outs.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Make sure that person's got good reviews and
you'll learn a lot and you wantto take the good parts and you
want to leave the bad parts of.
I mean, you'll get a lot ofinformation and the stuff that
you don't agree with or that youdon't like.
You know you don't have to dothat in your career, but you do
need to learn and know what youwant to do and what you want to
(07:08):
bring to this industry and whathow you want your career to be,
whether that's just a basic petgroomer, whether that's a show
groomer, creative groomer I meanthe list goes on.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
really, yeah, Medical yeah, there's nothing that you
can't do, and I would say thatthis career choice, this path,
leads you in many directions.
So you, you might have one idea, even though it's animal
related, and you're like I wantto be a this, you get into it.
You're like, oh, I, maybe, Iwant to do this.
But if this, all of this,everything that we learn in here
(07:42):
, everything that we teach inhere, and we're learning as we
go as well, I've I learn everyday new things.
You're going to, you're goingto figure out where your place
is in here and where yourpersonality fits, and you know
where your strengths andweaknesses are and what you like
to do, because dogs areattached to people, so you've
got to be able to relate to thepeople that are in those and
(08:02):
you've got to be able to make aliving, and those are all very
tricky things to do.
If you're just signing up for,hey, I love dogs.
I used to work corporate for,you know, 40 years and now I'm
going to be a dog groomer.
Well, that's unrealistic.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
My thing, my thing is the dogs don't pay you, the
people do.
Yeah, you got it.
The people are paying yourbills, not the dogs.
I mean, the dogs, inadvertently, are paying your bills, but
they're not the one that paystheir grooming bill.
I wish that were the case.
You've got to learn.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
You got to learn how to retain those clients, and the
best way to do that is to do abetter job than everybody else.
Right Proof is in the pudding.
There's so, so much to learnthat if you can't continuously
learn and be able to pivot, moveand switch to your strengths
and your weaknesses, you're justnot going to make it.
If you're not doing thisbecause, hey, you know, I don't
(08:56):
mind smelly, I don't mind that Ijust stuck my hand in poop, I
don't mind that a dog just Idon't mind that a dog just bit
down on me twice.
You know it's, it's.
You can't be afraid of that.
I have clients that are afraidof their own dogs, and you can't
be that person.
To be in this industry, you'vegot to be able to lift 50 to a
(09:17):
hundred pounds.
You've got to be able to standon your feet all day long.
You've got to be able to commita good solid eight hours of
hard physical work.
You've got to know that, hey,when I leave here, I'm covered
in hair too.
I don't have time to eat, Idon't have time to drink, and
when I do, it's usually coveredin hair.
You'll see us grooming dogs atour table, eating a sandwich or
(09:40):
whatever we found to eat thatday if anything and that's going
to be with in any shop for anygroomer and any vet tech and
anywhere you go but the groomingof a dog, the health and skin
all of the things that you learnhere are great building blocks
for anywhere.
I have a lot of people that gointo vet tech and they do vet
tech and grooming.
Grooming doesn't translate.
(10:01):
So if you're a good dog groomer, you can pretty much live
anywhere in the world and do it,which is kind of cool, awesome,
and it's dogs are dogs.
I mean, the cuts are the sameand, as long as there's not a
lot, it's kind of like you knowbeing a barber or a
cosmetologist but you don't haveto have a license to do it.
So you don't have to getrecertified.
(10:22):
You don't have to take onlinerecertifications.
You can just be good at whatyou do, focus on what works for
you, charge, you know anappropriate amount, learn how to
talk to clients and you knowjust kind of practice your trade
and that's a unique kind of abusiness to be in.
So the other thing I would sayfor there for me it's learn from
(10:45):
anybody who'll teach you.
You can start as a bather, youcould start at, you know vet
clinics.
You can start with a boardingfacility.
I would prefer any place that'sgot somebody who's got
experienced groomers who areopen-minded to teach what they
know, and you'll find it's kindof a catty industry.
So it's their competitive isprobably a better word, and so
(11:06):
not everybody's willing to teachwhat they've learned because
they've had to fight for it.
The other thing is write abusiness plan, write it down.
Write down what you want to do,put it out there, stick it in
the universe.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Even if you're working for someone else.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Yeah, even if it's my job.
My goal is to go to work for abig box store and work there for
five years and learn this andget a discount, have insurance
and get paid a minimal wagewhile I'm learning, so that I
can go out and do this.
It's you know, it's, it's justgood goal planning.
I could be, hey, I want to buya van and I want to, you know,
grim by myself.
There's a thousand differentways you can do it, but write it
(11:41):
down and that's your story.
It's a, it's a dream, so itdoesn't have to be it's.
It's forever changing.
It's your novel, it's.
It can be whatever you want.
It's your reality, your reality, you know.
You could wake up today and sayyou know what?
I didn't sleep very well today,I'm so tired.
Or you can choose to rewriteyour story and say you know what
I'm doing well right now.
Right now, I'm doing reallygood.
(12:02):
We don't have to focus on thebad.
We can.
We can focus on the good things, and that's what a business
plan is for me.
It's, it's make believe, it'spretend.
So make believe and pretendawesome things and you'll
achieve awesome things.
And you know we teach that alot in here as well.
Be informed.
Be informed what your area does.
Be informed.
What's in your area?
What are they charging?
Who is doing what?
(12:23):
How many grooming shops do youhave?
Are you know?
Is mobile more prevalent?
You know, do you have a lot ofapartment complexes?
What vets are willing to letyou come in and learn the
medical side of it there's?
Be informed.
Go to your grooming expos.
They have a lot of those.
Go to um and just watch.
(12:43):
Just watch.
See if a grooming shop will letyou come in and watch.
They're really awesome to watch.
You can go to a big box storeand just watch it.
Then, when you come here andwatch us, at the window, just
sit there.

lot, it's kind of like you knowbeing a barber or a
cosmetologist but you don't haveto have a license to do it.
So you don't have to getrecertified.
(10:22):
You don't have to take onlinerecertifications.
You can just be good at whatyou do, focus on what works for
you, charge, you know anappropriate amount, learn how to
talk to clients and you knowjust kind of practice your trade
and that's a unique kind of abusiness to be in.
So the other thing I would sayfor there for me it's learn from
(10:45):
anybody who'll teach you.
You can start as a bather, youcould start at, you know vet
clinics.
You can start with a boardingfacility.
I would prefer any place that'sgot somebody who's got
experienced groomers who areopen-minded to teach what they
know, and you'll find it's kindof a catty industry.
So it's their competitive isprobably a better word, and so
(11:06):
not everybody's willing to teachwhat they've learned because
they've had to fight for it.
The other thing is write abusiness plan, write it down.
Write down what you want to do,put it out there, stick it in
the universe.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Even if you're working for someone else.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Yeah, even if it's my job.
My goal is to go to work for abig box store and work there for
five years and learn this andget a discount, have insurance
and get paid a minimal wagewhile I'm learning, so that I
can go out and do this.
It's you know, it's, it's justgood goal planning.
I could be, hey, I want to buya van and I want to, you know,
grim by myself.
There's a thousand differentways you can do it, but write it
(11:41):
down and that's your story.
It's a, it's a dream, so itdoesn't have to be it's.
It's forever changing.
It's your novel, it's.
It can be whatever you want.
It's your reality, your reality, you know.
You could wake up today and sayyou know what?
I didn't sleep very well today,I'm so tired.
Or you can choose to rewriteyour story and say you know what
I'm doing well right now.
Right now, I'm doing reallygood.
(12:02):
We don't have to focus on thebad.
We can.
We can focus on the good things, and that's what a business
plan is for me.
It's, it's make believe, it'spretend.
So make believe and pretendawesome things and you'll
achieve awesome things.
And you know we teach that alot in here as well.
Be informed.
Be informed what your area does.

medical side of it there's?
