The dog grooming industry has been growing tremendously over the past decade, and offers limitless employment opportunities. Professional groomers are currently in high demand, and can earn well over $40,000 annually.

In addition to providing students with a structured, balanced curriculum, it is the goal of the Grooming Academy to instill in their students the motivation to continue their education and to keep abreast of new developments in the industry. Workshops, advanced educational seminars and certification programs that emphasize better education and higher standards can only enhance their professionalism as well as that of the industry as a whole.

Students enrolled in the Bather / Brusher Course will receive extensive instruction in order to acquire the basic skills needed to become proficient at bathing and brushing all types of dogs and cats.

Students enrolled in the Basic Grooming Course will receive instruction in the rudimentary skills of bathing and brushing the various coat types found in all breeds of dogs and cats. Students will also learn puppy cuts, kennel cuts and breed specific cuts. In addition, they will acquire the knowledge necessary to trim the most common breeds of dogs (as well as basic styles for mixed breeds), learn Dog Behavior, Anatomy, Skin and Coat Care and become certified in dog and cat CPR. Upon graduation, they will have the skill and knowledge needed to succeed as an entry-level pet stylist. For those students interested in learning cat grooming, we will also cover this instruction in the course.
