3. Can you firmly grasp tools with both hands?
4. Are you comfortable being exposed to dirt, animal hair, dander, and skin conditions?
5. If you are pregnant, have you cleared grooming school with your doctor?
6. If you answered “yes” to the above questions, dog grooming may be the perfect career path for you!
