Manchester Dog Home Boarding
Welcome to The Manchester Home Boarding School for Dogs,
Why Choose Us?
As a devoted dog mum, I know how hard it can be to leave your beloved pooch when you’re away. That’s why my mission is to provide exceptional care, keeping your dog happy and entertained while you’re gone.
Here at The Manchester Home Boarding School for Dogs, your pup can look forward to: (additional bookings required)
- One-on-One Attention: Each dog is treated like family, with plenty of cuddles, love, and care.
- Tailored Activities: From a mad 50 minutes in our secure playgrounds—complete with an agility circuit (for laughs more than accuracy!)—to woodland walks with lots of “au naturel” sniffing opportunities, your dog will have a blast.
- Groom
I can assure you that your dog will be spoilt rotten! I have two dogs that live in the house with me: Pumpkin, the Poodle, and Havanna, the bally-dancing blue-black cocker spaniel. (Sorry...I wrote an e-book for my nephews about my two pups for Halloween last year, and mine are always in character!) So, you can tell we have a lot of laughs together, and they are truly loved. I hope this shows you that we know what your babies mean to you, too!
In addition to my own puos, I can only cater to dogs up to meadium size, so I am afraid there is no point asking about availability if you have a large or giant breed.
Dog Groomer Training Courses
Dog grooming Courses
One of our specialist areas is indeed dog groomer training. Our centre or dog grooming school runs several individually tailored dog grooming courses annually-.
These can vary from one-day courses to full-on professional dog grooming courses that include practical dog grooming exams, practical assessments, and even help to build your theoretical portfolios.
Transitioning from student to professionally qualified and nationally accredited level 3 dog groomer is not as difficult or expensive as some will lead you to believe.
We do it all at The Manchester Dog Grooming School.
Contact us to speak with us about a structure that suits your needs.
Not to mention the possibility of the location of these dog grooming courses or even discussing our online and blended dog grooming courses, which are very different from what you might expect and, with our support, really do work.
Chatting to us is the only way to determine which one may be for you.
Specialist Dog Grooming, Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Courses
One of our specialist areas is helping those already existing professional dog groomers working in the industry who are ready to formalise their skills with a nationally accredited Ofqual regulated qualification. This is what we call "Fast Track". If you want to learn more about this option and are already practising as a professional in the industry without an accredited qualification, please call and ask to speak to one of our course advisors, who can talk you through things step by step. It won't break the bank or pull you away from your business.
No matter where you are in the world, we can help you gain this industry-recognised qualification with minimum downtime.
Distance or Home Based Learning
We offer Level 3 distance/home-based learning with theoretical dog grooming courses.
When taken with us, this course can be tagged onto a practical Level 3 accredited Dog Grooming course at a later date and recognised as prior learning if the student wishes to take the formal route. This entry is recognised at a semi-fast-track pace, enabling a more affordable and cost-effective way to gain your Professional dog grooming qualification.
Other specialist dog grooming courses, including Asian Fusion, Creative, Learn to Groom Your Own Dog, and taster days, are available to newcomers, industry professionals, and dog owners.
Other courses can include ABC awards in possibly dog walking courses at Levels 2 and 3, or maybe even some City and Guilds courses; we can offer nationally accredited Pet Sitting Level 2 and Level 3 and, of course, Pet First Aid.
If it isn't mentioned here, please do not hesitate to contact our dog grooming school and animal care college and speak to a member of our teaching staff. Just ask the question, whatever is on your mind," Do you know of any (whatever you are interested in) classes near me?" I feel sure we can answer you.
Nationally accredited dog grooming courses
If you do not see mention of the course you would like to complete, please contact us. We are always happy to help. Our reach to teach extends to learners not just to learners from all over the UK it stretches worldwide, so do not be concerned about distance. We have trained and support professionals from many other countries and many also teach professional dog grooming courses. We have a bank of highly recommended bed and breakfast and AirBnB contacts local to us that have been part of our network for almost 25 years.
City & Guilds is a widely known awarding organisation by many learners in all subject areas in the UK. However, different industries have their preferred awarding organisations. The preferred awarding organisations for dog grooming and teaching qualifications for our industry would be AIM and City & Guilds for UK Recognition. Of course, a prestigious non-UK regulated industry qualification is the ICMG. Here at Riverside, we do not offer the ICMG, but we have contacts in the industry who are renowned for teaching qualifications and can connect you if you have gained a level 3 UK Ofqual and QCF industry-recognised qualification; we would be happy to direct you to someone who will offer the ICMG tracking to professionally develop and enhance your dog grooming career.
Considering other animal care qualifications, we recommend an ABC award. Centres can build their own ABC award, so with all our ABC animal care qualifications, there is a strong element of dog grooming structured within them. Again, centre and assist you in enrolment on most animal care qualifications in addition to dog grooming. However, we strongly recommend that if you wish to enter the industry professionally and are investing in a nationally accredited qualification, then we feel your best options would be AIM (formerly OCN)and City & Guilds. The dog grooming and teaching qualifications we offer from the industry preferred awarding organisations are Ofqual, and QCF regulated and carry strength and kudos with our industry. This means that whichever level stamp the qualification has been given is precisely that level from an academic point of view. Just as a GCSE is a GCSE whether the awarding organisation is AQA or Edexcel, then, of course, a level 3 is just that if they have been awarded that level, whether the awarding organisation endorsing it is AIM or City and Guilds. Regulated qualifications at a specific level are of equal credibility within the standards awarded. Then, to further enhance your qualification portfolio within our industry, we recommend the ICMG.
Considering this information, it is a good idea to listen to your advisor and take the route they suggest, as they will be aware of which route is better for the industry you are entering. But of course, the final decision is yours.
Potential learners are strongly advised to give us a call and chat about the options available to them when considering a career change or development in the dog grooming industry.There is so much information and many areas that can become confusing, and a chat with a knowledgeable human being will give you a chance to gain a more in-depth insight into the options available and the best route to take.

EXTRA, EXTRA READ ALL ABOUT IT!
If your dog has become matted, we may have to clip short. We won't judge you; dog grooming isn't easy, so we train for the profession. We understand you won't find it easy to maintain your coat at home, so don't worry; we won't tell you off 🤣. If your dog is in a matted condition, we will clip the matted coat out or off all over, depending on the severity of the issue. Your dog's coat will grow back quickly, and we can and will get them back into their regular style. Combing out a matted coat is an excruciating and unnecessary process for your dog and can cause pain and discomfort, which is in breach of the Animal Welfare Act 2006. Therefore, this will not be carried out. We will NOT cause your dog any pain or discomfort for vanity or other reasons. PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT OR ASK FOR THIS ❤️❤️. If we have to go back to basics with your dog coat and start again, you should be aware of the following:
Your dog will feel different altogether after a clip-off. However, they will adjust quickly. They will feed off your reaction; they will know if you are mortified at the look... try to remember it is only temporary, and they are susceptible to your feelings, so please don't say stuff like, "Dear lord, what have you done to him" or "Oh she looks horrendous" you may not be saying it in dog lingo. Still, I can assure you they will be upset that you are upset, and they will sulk and hide away if they think you are unhappy. Remember, "Keep calm, its hair, it will grow back". If you had not combed your hair for months, and it was matted and twisted and pinching your soft pink bits, you would feel liberated if someone took you back to basics to start again. A professional will never clip off a coat to 'save time'. This should only ever be considered when the health and well-being of your pet are in question. This turn of events is not an easy option for many reasons. One of the reasons is that it can damage our costly equipment, which is why a true professional may charge more for this service. Local community members are looking at your dogs in the park, and they are seeing the styles they play out with... we would much prefer someone say, "Oh my, who do your dogs do? Can I take their number?" than have them say, "Oh my who did that to your dog they shouldn't be allowed to practice". We would instead not clip off; it isn't beneficial to us as groomers, but it is for the dog's general health and well-being. Therefore, if we do this, it is because we have no option. Trust us, we are professionals here, and we know our stuff.

⭐The Manchester Dog Grooming School⭐
For the budding artiste
Our school has an excellent reputation locally with pet mums and dads and nationally accredited awarding organisations for producing not just the best-completed college students the industry has, some of whom go on to become award-winning dog groomers. Our area has the best-styled perfect pooches around. Our centre and establishment owner has worked within the animal care industry since birth...but in the dog grooming industry for 25 years +.
We have an on-call in-house vet who runs a vaccination clinic, and we will also be able to offer flea and worm treatments through this portal. How amazing that we can care for your furbabies (and other pet babies without fur, too) from their arrival in your life and family, whether it is birth or adoption, all the way through to when they begin their journey to Rainbow Bridge. We are truly excited at the prospect of this new venture.
Ask us if you need any advice, and we can coordinate.
About your dog becoming a model?
Why not call us today about your dog or puppy grooming needs?
Speak to a teacher, trainer, or our chief model booker. One of them will be delighted to take your darling dog onto our model books in the appropriate slot according to its needs.
Puppy grooming is always in demand, and it is best to get them onto the grooming table as soon as they have been fully vaccinated, which, again, we can arrange for you here, too. We strongly advise all pets to be vaccinated as they can pick up a virus that can make them very poorly by simply being in their garden. For this reason, we always ask our owners to be responsible and have them covered for any event. Mainly, if they go to the park, visit dog or pet boarding kennels, or they are frequent a dog grooming salon, we like all our models to have had their vaccinations and be up to date as one could carry a virus like Bordetella bronchiseptia, for example. Then all our clients are at risk of picking it up, which is one nasty virus!

NOTICE TO ALL GROOM MODEL PARENTS
We ask all our pet mums and dads to sign our grooming agreement at the time of drop-off; we would like you to be aware that you will be bound by the following points even if you fail to do so. In the agreement, and in some cases, we may need to refuse to groom your baby, so please, if we forget to ask for your autograph, can I ask that you remind us? But if you forget, too, the important rules are as follows ...
Please be aware if you are going to be using the school as your pooches spa:
You must agree to the following:
I know that grooming is completed by a student studying a professional qualification in dog grooming. For this reason, I (pooch parent) should accept that mistakes and minor accidents can occur and that a qualified grooming technician and teacher supervise the groom,
I understand that if it is in the best interest of the dog for the coat to be shaved off completely due to severe matting, I give my full permission for this to take place if deemed necessary.
(we always keep photographic/video evidence)
I have been informed of this cost and will agree to pay in full.
I realise if I fail my appointment, I will or will not cancel at least 24 hours before the date and time. I will be charged in full and asked to pay before my next appointment.
I agree that the salon should keep and use my data however necessary.
I agree to allow my pet/s to be photographed and used by the salon as they would like to.
I confirm that my pet is in good health, fully vaccinated, and regularly treated for parasites. I will advise the school of any changes in these circumstances.
I agree that neither the groomer nor the school will be held responsible for irritation, abrasion, patchiness, or hair loss due to any skin conditions or as a result of the process of grooming, de-matting, thinning, stripping, shaving, mishap, or any other exercise carried out during the process of grooming caused by any non-disclosure of my pet's medical or other condition or behaviour.
If my pet attempts to bite any person or pet, a muzzle may be used, or if the groomer decides to use a muzzle on the grounds of safety. Occasionally, it may be necessary to stop the groom on the grounds of safety or the dog's well-being. In this event, I understand the school will call for me to collect my pet, and I will be expected to pay for the appointment. If vet treatment is considered necessary or urgent, I consent to the school contacting my vet and agreeing to collect my pet immediately and take it to my vet. If I cannot do so, I consent to the school seeking and transporting my pet to a veterinary choice suitable to them.
I confirm that all the facts I have supplied are actual. I accept and consent entirely to the school making the necessary decisions to groom and care for my dog in any way they feel is in the best interest of them. This includes shaving down in the event of severe matting.
