Age Restriction of Dog Used: Dogs must be a minimum of 1 year old and a maximum of 10 years of age. Dogs younger than 1 year will not have had enough experience in the grooming process and will not make a good candidate to use for certification. Dogs over 10 years of age, may not be able to handle the grooming process in the time frame that is allowed for certification. Using a dog with good experience and manners in the grooming process will be of great benefit to the groomer being tested.
