Anrich Dog Grooming School teaches dog grooming from 19 Caroline St in Wigan. The training runs over a five week course, taught by tutors who groom and by staff from the wider veterinary practice.
Students write about a training room with room to work and a different mix of breeds coming in each day. They describe tutors who stay patient and keep a sense of humour, and seminars on first aid, equipment and advertising that several say they leaned on afterwards. More than one reviewer says they went on to open their own salon.
Inside the school
Yvette is named as a grooming tutor by several students. Ruth H. writes that the trainers "offer you the support and advice you require and encourage you to have belief in yourself when you think you can't do something". Sophie T. says the tutors "all made me feel comfortable from day one".
Adele is one of the tutors reviewers name again and again. Lynn C. describes the trainers as "fun to be with as well as supportive both during the course and afterwards". Eliza K. writes that the tutors "made us all feel so comfortable and I was never afraid to ask for help".
Tara is named as a trainer by students who finished the five week course. Ruth H. calls the trainers "very professional" and says the support came "combined with a great sense of humour". Lynn C. writes that the trainers stayed supportive after the course had ended.
A five week dog grooming course, taught on real dogs rather than models. Reviewers describe starting to groom in the first few days and working through a wide range of breeds from then on. Each student has their own area so tutors can watch and step in.
The school sits in a veterinary environment, and reviewers say that shapes the teaching. Students are tutored in first aid and canine health care by professionals alongside the grooming itself. Ring us to ask what the course covers.
There are seminars on equipment maintenance, business and advertising for students planning to work for themselves. Reviewers single these out as useful, and James is named as the person who runs the business and web side. Several describe the support continuing after the course ends.
Course fees are not listed online. Ring us or call in and we will talk you through what is involved.
“The course is very 'hands on' and you are presented with a wide and varying range of dogs every day which is what you would face in the 'real world' once your training ends.”
Ruth H.
“It is a very 'hands on' course with a good selection of dog breeds to groom. Because you are training in a veterinary environment this adds an extra dimension to the course in that you are tutored by professionals in areas such as first aid and canine health care.”
Judith F.
“I was so afraid of cutting the dogs nails but on my 3rd week this was not an issue. I have started my own business now and I am amazed that I am actually doing the grooming by myself.”
Lynn C.
“The training room is brilliant with more than enough room to operate in and everybody is in an area so the tutors can keep a watchful eye on you.”
