Hello, somewhat new...
I have posted on the old broad before, but haven't really introduced myself before.
I am a wannabe Groomer. I have 3 dogs. A burly girl black Lab., a wimpy boy Border Collie Mix rescued from the pound and a Sassy Shih Tzu(girl) also a rescue.
I was raised by big dogs and always thought that was the only way to go, but a couple of years ago I started wanting a smaller dog that I could take more places with me. I went to the pound and made friends with the receptionist and she called me when a small dog came in. She turned out to be a Shih Tzu and I could be more in love with my sassy old girl. She was in such bad shape and they guessed about 8-10 years old. I thought who it going to adopt her and would they give her a good final home. Well we are going on three years and she have changed my life.
With big wash and wear dogs it was easy keeping them neat. With my little Sassy girl I have discovered a passion for grooming!! I love cutting her hair and keeping her looking cute.
The next step is to make my second career goals a reality and become a Professional Pet Stylist. That is my story in a nutshell and why I LOVE this Board.

No doubt you will find lots of resources here as well as great advice! You can definitely benefit from taking an online course, especially if you're a beginner. Even better, is if you can find a good Groomer to train you. Hands on learning was so much less scarey for me, when I actually went to work as a Groomer. Whatever doors open up for you in either category is a good place to start.
