Já existem cursos no Brasil de gromming, acredito que os cursos presenciais, caso estejam disponíveis, s?o melhores, há uma diferen?a gritante nos cursos via video( fáceis e acessíveis) dos cursos presenciais ( dependem de oferta/vaga/disponibilidade) porém o aproveitamento neste é melhor. O seu ofício será prático, logo aprendizado na prática é bem mais aconselhável.

2 Gain hands-on experience

The best way to learn how to groom animals is by doing it. You can gain hands-on experience by volunteering at animal shelters, rescues, or veterinary clinics, where you can help with basic grooming tasks such as bathing, drying, and brushing. You can also look for apprenticeship or internship opportunities with professional groomers, who can teach you more advanced skills and tips. You should also practice on your own pets or those of your friends and family, and ask for feedback and suggestions.

Deve-se come?ar com os seus próprios animais, em seguida com os de amigos familiares e vizinhos, o feedback é extremamente importante, mas n?o desanime se receber um retorno negativo, nenhum cirurgi?o nasceu sendo cirurgi?o, haver?o dias bons e dias ruins. Após esse reconhecimento inicial das suas habilidades existem duas hipóteses, um estágio, ou um trabalho essa escolha está condicionada a sua confian?a em si mesmo.
