Would You Like To Be Part Of Our Next Cohort?
The Dog School For People
Was created for two reasons:
Reason #1: The Grooming Industry Needs A New Standard For The Dogs
The grooming industry is in desperate need of a transformative change. The current trend of over-humanizing our dogs has wreaked havoc on their well-being.
Dog trainers are not faring much better with the misapplication of positive reinforcement techniques leading to a rise in anxious and mentally unwell canines.
By embracing scientifically backed insights into how dogs understand and communicate, you can enrich their lives emotionally and physically.
We have set out to teach the skills to a new "breed" of groomer who will set a new standard for the industry and provide world class care that truly benefits our furry companions.
Reason #2: The Grooming Industry Needs A New Standard For The Groomers
The grooming industry needs a shift in how we view the role of groomers.
Groomers who focus solely on the coat miss the opportunity to recognize the dog as a complete being, overlooking critical aspects of health and well-being.
At our school, we pride ourselves on providing a holistic education that goes beyond superficial grooming.
We empower our students with in-depth knowledge of dog nutrition, behavior, and coat and skin care.
This comprehensive approach ensures that our graduates are equipped to offer their clients 360-degree care, resulting in long, healthy lives for their pets.
Still not sure if this is right for you...
What if We told You that we will pay YOU to groom dogs while you're still in training?
Once you have reached our minimum GPA and demonstrated minimal grooming skills, you have the opportunity to earn money as you practice grooming at our facility (as part of your regular school day!). While they continue to learn about pet nutrition and pet behavior, we allow them to form relationships with clients and take home a healthy percentage of the money earned from the dogs they groom. We are the only grooming school that will actually pay you to
EARN while you LEARN.
We Don't Just Teach you How To Groom Dogs...
But We Also Show You How To Turn Your New Skills Into A Profitable and Fulfilling Business...
We don't just teach you how to groom. We also give you specific skills in Pet Nutrition and Pet Communication (read: Behavior!)
You can choose to base your new business and career on your grooming skills, nutritional consultations, dog training, or ALL THREE!
Having More Than Just One "Tool In Your Toolbelt" Will Ensure That You Can Make More Income And Build A Stronger Business Based On Holistic Pet Care Concepts.
And Every Semester,
We Hand Select Just A Handful In-Person Students to Learn At Our Facility in Arlington, TX and Another 12 Virtual/Hybrid Students to Learn From Anywhere In The World!
