THE EXPERIENCE…
“I would describe this course as intensive instruction that covers all aspects of dog grooming, from marketing to canine bathing procedures, from customer service, to use of clippers…this course gives you the knowledge and confidence to enter the grooming industry. I would recommend this school to anyone interested. I prepared to dive into business ownership, and I feel secure knowing that I’m a telephone call away from the “grooming guru” in Havre! I learned so much in such a short time. It was so worth the investment!”

“I really wouldn’t change this experience for the world– Shannon is an amazing groomer and an excellent teacher.”
Erica, 2002 Graduate
ENVIRONMENT…
“I loved the easy-going environment. The low-stress surroundings made it easy to concentrate on each task.
Shannon’s teaching method was very informative and easy to understand: I felt like I came out knowing a LOT more than I did coming in! Thank you!”

COMING BACK FOR ADVANCED TRAINING…
“I really enjoyed the positive atmosphere of the school, and the emphasis on correct breed trims. My favorite part of the course that I took was learning to use my shears properly. I will be back!
Brandy, 2004 Graduate
“Today, for the first time, my husband watched me scissor…and he was amazed! I can’t thank Shannon enough for all of her help! I had a great time, and can’t wait to come back!

“The education that I received was of the highest quality. Shannon has many industry certifications with years of experience. The curriculum is very professional, and is custom-tailored to fit any learning style. Shannon’s personal approach to instruction is not intimidating at all, and the program offers lots of personalized, one-on-one time. My experience was very rewarding, and definitely prepared me for my career as a professional dog groomer!”
