Consequently, this trend is likely to result in:
- A growing need for services provided by animal attendants and trainers.
- Opportunities for animal carers are commonly found in sectors such as Arts and Recreation Services, Agriculture, Forestry, and Conservation Industries.

JANET’S DOG DAYS AREN’T OVER
Janet was a stay-at-home mum until a friend made her an offer she couldn’t refuse. She wanted Janet to come and work with her in her dog grooming salon, but before Janet got her hands on the tools of the trade, she knew it would be invaluable to get some study under her belt to bring her skills and theoretical knowledge up to date.
So Janet jumped online, searched for dog grooming courses, and found The Career Academy.
She worked her way through the Diploma in Dog Grooming, which covers both general care of our furry friends, as well as an in-depth view of grooming itself.
‘It’s a great course, very informative and I do feel like I am learning heaps, it’s helped me understand the industry better and expand my existing knowledge about different dog breeds, coats, and skin conditions. It’s also helping me to learn what to do and what not to do when working closely with dogs. Every dog is different and it can be a challenge.’ Janet says.
Before her course even ended, Janet landed her dream role at a friend’s dog grooming salon. The practical experience that she is getting on the job is allowing her to take her knowledge from the course even further.
‘I feel like I have found my passion, I’ve gone from working in a pathology office to now hanging out with some super cute dogs!’ Janet’s journey is far from over, and she has big plans to take her career even further. Ultimately, she hopes to help expand her friend’s business to include mobile grooming, a must-have for many clients in today’s busy world.
Janet studied the Diploma in Dog Grooming, this 200-hour course is designed to give you the skills you need to handle and groom both dogs and other pets.
