Just wander if any of you have attended the full-time pet grooming course at [International Pet Grooming School and Pet Salon] in Singapore.
If yes, please kindly share youe experience with me about the training course. I am thinking of joining their program. Just wish to find out more before I make my decision because this is going to be a big move and change in my career life. In addition, the course fee is not cheap.
Thank you all in advanced.

Hi Ted,
I guess the International Pet Grooming School and Pet Salon in Singapore that u mentioned is Dogcare, right? Well, I have completed my grooming course at an associated grooming school at PJ, namely The Pet Family. I dunno where u're staying but if u were looking at the same course offered and if u're malaysian, then I suggest u take up the course at PJ instead. At the end of the course, they will issued the same certification as Dogcare.
What u must understand is...the course outline. The same course is offered by other grooming school at Singapore called the Prestige Grooming Academy, located at Yishun. But the difference is Dogcare are more to American style...which is more to clipping and finishing cut. If u want to do something creative and u have the patience to undergo it all...Prestige Grooming Academy offered whole body scissoring...show clipping etc..etc...which is more to Japanese style.
U can have a look at their course outline at their website. Just run a search on Google on the name and u'll get it.

hi, there!
a friend of mine (Singaporean) attended the course in PGA. Their website is very attractive... but she jz found out all the pics on the web was not from the instructor, it's all copy/scan from grooming magazine. The teacher, Zayne (as seen on web) is very calculative, always talk on $$$, jz like "no money no talk"! But, to be frank, her "Kung Fu" very good leh... She is a fresh graduate teacher and not a so called professional teacher type! Very "money face"! Better survey properly before you go cos my friend regret to be there!

Where is she fresh graduate from? Taiwan or Japan? If take up their course, money oredi paid wut...what's more she can say about the policy no money no talk. Sigh...so many grooming schools really overmarket their "product". I tot this grooming profession is not all about $$$, it's about for the love of dogs When things begin to be commercialised...everything change
A grooming academy in Malaysia...better not to mention the name, also pay quite a high price to gain some recognitions of their master groomer. When I look at her accomplishment...I feel so sick about it. Mostly are accomplished thru some dirty tactics.
I guess then the only choice to really wanna improve and learn grooming skill is to go abroad - Thailand, Taiwan or Japan. Thailand is inexpensive...price ok and their kung fu gain world recognition...but one thing, I'm scared shit kena bomb (haha!). Like the chinese saying, got life to go there, no life come back. U know ler...their politics prob oso quite serious and it seems like every year oso got bomb cases. Freak me out ler!

Hi! I read you post and wanted to reply on what you mention. For Thailand, I do not think that they are that good. Pratice makes perfect! If you handle a lot of dogs then you will make perfection of what you do. Most important is the scissoring method only. What I found here in Malaysia is that people do not do scissoring a lot of clipping. And after clipping there is no trimming done. This is a whole lot of Horse Shit. Ok! And a lot of people do not understand proper grooming.

hi,
I was from dogcare. The instructors there were quite patient with me because my learning rate is very slow. But I realized you can learn most of the things they taught by just becoming a grooming assistant (and at the same time, earn some $$$). Now I am looking for a school that feature more on scissoring.
Alot of grooming schools are quite $$$ faced I heard there's a good school in my that taught very good dematting skills?

Hi mikoyuki
dirty tactics? What do you mean by that? (I know i am a busybody, ) I don't know that thailand is good also. Now I am considering about japan but can't find any school in yahoo and also scare that I won't know what the instructor is talking about. Taiwan is also good? They concentrate on scissoring?

Taiwan, Japan, Thailand...I guess there are all the same...they concentrate on scissoring and creative grooming. And about the dirty tactics issue, I guess I better not specify their tactics here. I have informed the relevent party about it and they told me they will clarify it on their website. So till I heard from them again, I will post it here the link and let you all see what I mean by "dirty tactics".
