The Complete Dog Care Workshop

Practical skills for everyday care, maintenance & wellbeing

Caring for your dog goes far beyond their appointments.

The Complete Dog Care Workshop is a practical, hands-on workshop designed to help dog owners better understand their dog's everyday care and maintenance needs — and feel comfortable carrying out the important little things at home.

Whether you're a first-time dog owner or simply want to improve your knowledge, this workshop gives you practical skills that can make a real difference to your dog's comfort, wellbeing and quality of life.

What You'll Learn

During the workshop, we'll explore the essentials of everyday dog care, including:

Coat & Skin Care
Understand your dog's coat, correct brushing and combing techniques, preventing knots and matting, and recognising changes in the skin and coat.

Bathing & Drying
Learn how to bathe and dry your dog correctly at home, including choosing appropriate products and avoiding common mistakes.

Paws & Nails
Learn about paw and pad maintenance, nail care and why regular nail maintenance is important for your dog's comfort.

Eyes, Ears & Everyday Hygiene
Simple routines for keeping these commonly overlooked areas clean and knowing what changes should not be ignored.

Dental Awareness
Understand the importance of regular dental care and simple preventative routines that can be incorporated at home.

Handling & Cooperation
Learn gentle techniques to help your dog become more comfortable with being touched, brushed and handled during everyday care.

Food & Everyday Wellbeing
A general introduction to how food, hydration and treats contribute to your dog's overall wellbeing, together with awareness of common foods that can be harmful to dogs.

Exercise, Enrichment & Mental Wellbeing
Explore why physical exercise, play, enrichment and mental stimulation all form part of caring for the whole dog.

Know Your Dog
Learn how regular hands-on care can help you notice lumps, bumps, skin changes, sensitivities or unusual changes earlier — and recognise when it's time to seek professional or veterinary advice.

Hands-On Learning

This isn't just a sit-down-and-listen workshop.

You'll learn through practical demonstrations and guided hands-on activities, so you can understand how to carry out everyday care safely and comfortably at home.

The aim isn't to turn owners into professional groomers.

It's to give you the knowledge and practical skills to maintain your dog between professional appointments, recognise problems earlier and make everyday care a positive part of life together.

Your Take-Home Workbook

Every participant receives the Complete Dog Care 10-Module Workbook — a comprehensive reference guide designed to become your at-home dog-care companion long after the workshop has finished.

Refer back to it whenever you need a reminder about techniques, routines, tools or everyday maintenance.

Optional Dog Care Starter Kit

Participants can also choose a practical starter kit containing selected everyday dog-care tools to help put what they've learned into practice at home.

Kit contents may vary according to availability.

Because good care isn't something we do occasionally.

It's part of every day we share with our dogs.

The Complete Dog Care Workshop provides general educational information about everyday dog care and wellbeing. It does not provide veterinary diagnosis, treatment or individual nutritional advice.
