Do you need to go to school to be a dog groomer?

My boss, and also my very good friend wants to open a pet business for me to run. It started when I found those kittens under the cars here and she saw how upset I was and realized how much I love animals. She says I could do whatever I wanted. I don't want to do just ONE thing, I was thinking maybe pet grooming and pet photography. Does that seem feasible? Are there some other things I could so along with that?

Many pet groomers are taught on the job ... there are schools but many are run by the large big box pet stores for their employees

Nope you don't need any formal training. ^_^ When people want to be groomers they usually go to a big pet store like pet smart and start out on the bottom of the grooming chain to be trained by the staff there.
