What We Do

 At the academy we will teach you all the proper steps in grooming and handling an animal.  You will start grooming on your very first day.  It is all hands on.  You will learn bathing, brushing, nails and ears to begin with.  Then you will go onto shave downs and eventually you will be doing style cuts.  The course is a total of 400hrs. In which you will have to complete and pass five different hands on test to get your certificate of completion.  The tuition for the course is $4200.00 which includes a starter kit.  There is a list of the equipment you will recieve on the services page.  If the course can't be paid for in full talk to us and we can set you up on  a payment plan.
