✂️ Shampoodle Grooming Academy
Professional Dog Grooming Courses with Jazmin – Owner & Head Groomer
Hello, and welcome! My name is Jazmin, and I’m the owner of Shampoodle, a small, independent dog grooming salon based in the UK.
With over 15 years of grooming experience, I began my career at 17, training in Australia before launching my own successful mobile grooming business. After relocating to the UK, I continued my passion by opening a salon-based business where I provide professional grooming services — and, more recently, hands-on training for aspiring groomers.

🐾 About Our Grooming Courses
Each year, I open up a limited number of spaces for students to train with me directly. I specialise in private or small group training, with a maximum of three students at a time. This ensures every student receives personalised, high-quality guidance — something that’s often lacking in larger colleges or group-based courses.
Whether you’re looking to start a new career, open your own salon, or simply build confidence around dogs, these courses are designed to give you real, practical skills in a supportive environment.
✨ Course Options:
• 10-Day Course
• 15-Day Course
• 20-Day Course
All courses are fully insured, and upon completion, students receive a Shampoodle Diploma Certificate.
While we do not currently offer formal qualifications, most of our graduates have gone on to launch successful grooming businesses without needing them. Should you wish to pursue a qualification later, many options are available via fast-track routes once you’ve gained hands-on experience.

🐕 What You’ll Learn
Our training is predominantly practical, with some theory sessions and light homework. Students groom between 1–3 dogs per day, giving you extensive, real-world experience — unlike other programs where students often share dogs or spend more time observing than doing.
Topics Covered:
• Bathing & Drying Techniques
• Coat Preparation
• Nail Trimming & Ear Plucking
• A**l Gland Expression
• Clipping for Pet Trims
• Poodle Grooms & Sc******ng
• Scissor Skills & Finishing Techniques
• Business Basics: Starting Your Own Salon & Attracting Clients
• Canine First Aid (Theory & Practical)
⸻
💰 Flexible Payment Options
Shampoodle is proud to be one of the few salons offering interest-free finance.
• £500 deposit required to secure your place
• Remaining balance can be spread across up to 12 monthly payments

🤝 Ongoing Support
Training with Shampoodle doesn’t end when the course finishes. I stay in touch with many of my students and offer continued support via phone or FaceTime, helping you navigate any questions or challenges as you begin your grooming journey.

If you’re ready to turn your love of dogs into a career or want to know more about availability and pricing, please feel free to reach out. I’d be happy to answer any questions!
Warm regards,
