You might want to take a look at the Pet Groomer diploma offered by Penn Foster Career School.

And if you do take this course, or similar, ensure that you get real practical experience by volunteering to groom your friend’s pets and maybe join a dog club where you can offer your services for free until you have enough references to establish yourself in your own business.
Hope this helps.

Offer to work for free at a dog grooming salon. After 3 months you will know everything there is to know about it.
