We’re extremely excited about our new Animal Care room and Dog Grooming room! Our new animal care room will host bearded dragons, leopard geckos, corn snakes, royal pythons, white tree frogs, guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters & much much more! So if you’re interested in studying with us you’ll get to use the brand new facilities!

A career in Animal Care and Dog Grooming can mean so much for you and your future. Experience of working with animals is vital in this industry, and we can help you to gain this with our work-based courses and vital practical placements in farms. You may even be inspired to open your own shelter, care centre, boarding kennels or dog grooming salon.

We can help you to gain vital experience of working with animals in our industry-standard grooming salons, helping to support your application and entry into the dog grooming profession. Many of our students go into the industry as assistants and progress to salon managers.

Our commercial Tails of Sandwell salon is industry-standard and open to the public, and we have even created a second salon treatment room due to demand from our satisfied clients. Breeds you’ll care for include wirehaired dogs such as West Highland Terrier, Cairn Terrier, Fox Terrier, Jack Russell, Border Terrier, Scottish Terrier and Schnauzer.

We are proud members of the Pet Industry Federation, the association for pet industry specialists in the UK. We want to ensure high standards of animal care education and dog grooming training to produce the best people for the job. So take your career to the next level with us!
