HOW To Become a PET GROOMER | Pet Grooming Career 

Thank you for watching!! ❤️ You sound like one motivated gal!

I hate people to lmao

Ratchet therapist 🤣🤣🤣 Girl I understand

I also hate people I love animals

SAME OMFG I WANTED TO BECOME A HAIRSTYLIST BUT REALISED I ACTUALLY HAVE TO SOCIALIZE W PPL SO I CHANGED MY MIND

THaT is Funny How You Said You Don't Like People

what is the age requirment to start off as a bather

I applied for there bather/groomer trainee position at PetSmart and they called me back and said that they actually weren’t looking to fill that position (even though they leave it up on their website) but that they would love for me to work as a store employee.🤦🏻‍♀️ They said that once there is a open spot there I could be moved to that instead.

Currently work at petsmart and applied for the grooming position I was told I’d have to start off as a bather which was fine by me but the manager also said I’d have to be cross trained in each department before going to grooming. I’ve been there for almost 2 months and just now finished my splash book and the boss of the grooming is out on vacation until the 18th of this month and hopefully I’ll be able to start but I am annoyed by the fact that like you too I’m getting pushed back and told this this and that. In reality they just needed cashiers but that isn’t what I applied for and have voiced this again and I am still stuck on register. I want to work with dogs as I was a dog walker before this and still do it on the side, I’ve gotten shit hours and yeah anyways hopefully I will soon be in the salon if not I’ll apply for an actual groomers so no cross training hopefully.

I’m 2 months in as a bather at Petsmart, the salon manager was quitting right as I was hired and I can’t go to their grooming academy unless my location has a salon manager. They were very vague on the manger being gone and didn’t confirm she wouldn’t be back until a few weeks after I started, the whole time talking up how it won’t be long before I can go to academy lol They also didn’t tell me that my location is VERY understaffed even before losing the manager, 1 of the 2 stylist just left to go mobile 2 weeks ago. Now I’m finding out that employees from other locations refuse to even cover shifts at my location because the management is so bad 🤦🏼‍♀️ We finally got someone from another location considering to be our manager, she covered a couple days this last week and I’m honestly worried she’ll change her mind and stay at her other location…all her coworkers are warning her not to take the position 😭 I freaking love this job, but the work environment is horrendous! Luckily I’ve been told the non-compete contract is not required, they can’t force me to sign it(there’s actually a legal battle going on that may force them to get rid of it). So I’m just doing my best to power through until I can get through their academy and maybe get a little experience grooming before I jump ship somewhere else.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!! 🥰❤️

Go for grooming. No student loans with that one.

Your heart knows the answer!! ❤️

@@PawsRelax actually, to update, i might be looking into working in an animal santuary. Idk yet though. But thanks for your comment! I'm definitely getting closer to finding it out though I feel it

Hey! Thanks for watching 😊 What do you mean by make more doing it yourself? Awesome video idea thank you! ❤️

Paws & Relax for example, I could pay a groomer to “work for me” or I could invest in myself and just learn via the website you spoke about. That way I wouldn’t have pay someone from earnings. This is something I’m very interested in I’m just having trouble getting a beginning budget to start things off. The trailer is no issue. Just want to make sure I will make enough to pay a groomer and make money for myself.

@@keelywilkerson4341 Did you ever follow through with this because I am on the same boat as you were 4 years ago

Mechanics don’t often go to school… but they are still able to pass along their knowledge. Our parents thought us so many things as well… even not being a teacher. Honestly, the whole humanity learned at first from listening other people. On the other hand, I’ve seen certified teachers, maybe even professors, with no skills to teach… 😬

@@priscilacassou that’s so true!

Ooh! Can you tell me the name of the site? I can't find classes in my area either

Livy's Little Life animal behavior school is the school I saw that had the best options, I decided not to go with dog grooming bc it was going to take so long, but good luck.

Thank you I want to.

If you choose it to be your only form of college yes. You can become a master groomer which is worldwide recognized the schooling though is much shorter because it is still classified as a technical job but as I said you can make more of it if you like. Not all groomers do but someday they will have to I suggest jus doin it the right way first.

Hello! What do you mean by international student? You could teach yourself from watching videos like those on learntogroom.com or try out an online grooming course?

Apex academy of pet grooming :)

You definitely can make a good living if you put in the work! In grooming time=money

Being self taught is totally possible!! Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions ❤️

@@PawsRelax i have a question, do you have to get a license for that? (i haven't watched the video yet haha!) or a license to handle dogs/cats etc?

@@nicole-gi6kf I think it depends on your state.

I recommend you check the age requirements of your region and companies you are interested in. The youngest I've seen some companies hire is 16. Don't be discouraged though! Research your local shelters to see if they are accepting young volunteers or start practicing with your own pets (or family member's pets). Learn as much as you can and keep an eye out for opportunities, I'm sure you'll find something :)
