Dog grooming courses give you a great grounding in the information, knowledge and skills you need on how to take care of dogs. When you train to become a dog groomer, you can offer services either at your established premises or decide to go mobile.
Mobile dog grooming as taught in dog grooming courses
A mobile dog groomer is someone who goes to attend to dogs at the places where they live, rather than wait for owners to bring their pets to their bricks and mortar premises.
It is worth noting that many people choose to train to be mobile dog groomers rather than set themselves up in business in their own bricks and mortars premises. There are lots of reasons for this, but the main one is:
The most convenient service for pet owners
Essentially, people are lazy. Although many pet owners want and need pet grooming, sometimes they just don’t get round to it – they forget, it slips down the list of priorities or other things come up.
If you can offer mobile dog grooming, it means that you make it far easier for people to get the service they really want. They needn’t travel to your premises – you go to where they are.
Keeping costs down
It has been found that mobile dog grooming will be cheaper to you. This is because the overheads are usually lower than when operating from a premise.
If you can’t afford a bricks and mortar premises for your own salon, going mobile may be for you. It’s a great way to be your own boss, at a reasonably low cost, after you’ve completed one of the dog grooming courses available.
What do you need in a mobile dog grooming van?

There are lots of other benefits to you, pet owners and their dogs. Some of these are:
Better for dogs
A person's dogs will not be stressed by being separated from their keepers. This keeps the dogs in good moods and less stressed.
Easier for those with mobility problems
As you might have found out during any of the dog grooming courses you took, being able to offer your services on a mobile basis is also very beneficial to people who find it hard to move around or travel to a premises. Pets can play a vital role in anyone's wellbeing and happiness - often even more so if you struggle to leave the house. This gives them the chance to have well groomed dogs.
Simple advertising
As you go mobile, your van will act as a good advertising tool. People will be able to see what you do from the information painted on the van. This will give you a good opportunity to grow your clientele base. It's also a great idea to use social media to boost your profile.
Great for networking
You will also be able to meet new people. The process of offering mobile services means you move from one place to another so whenever you chat to someone new you can market yourself further.
Higher fees
Being able to offer added convenience to clients means you can higher dog grooming prices. This is because the clients have to compensate you for bringing the services to their doorstep.
