welcome...glad to have you here

I am not a gromer, but as an owner of a dog that needs grooming a lot I have slowly learned a few things from him...

I have to say your idea for online classes might be good for a short while but the only ways you will truly learn is by experience.
(i.e. I can read online for hours on how to drive a space ship, but that doesn’t mean I could do it in real life or would be qualified to do it.)

Your best bet would be to find a groomer in your area that will let you shadow him/her and assist him/her...he/she will soon let you groom a dog.

Practicing on your poodle won’t get you enough variety experience, a poodle’s hair is very different then a Samoyeds and they require very different types of grooming.
