I used to work for a groomer and learned alot. It just takes alot of time and practice to become a good groomer. I would suggest that you ask some groomers if they will teach you the ropes and you compensate by working at no charge. I did this for about 5 hours per day and then went to my "real" paying job for 8 more hours. I would have liked to have stayed with grooming as a career, but there is no health insurance and at my age

I do need that perk that is offered at my current job. Grooming is back-breaking , hard work but I really enjoyed it. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!
