Hello. Have you considered adding a pet styling academy to your grooming business? Here are a few questions to ask yourself which should help determine if operating a school is right for you:

1. Would you like to be “unchained from your grooming tables?” How about having more time to oversee your business and to move into a less physically demanding role?
2. Are your systems and equipment, tubs, dryers, tables already in place?
3. Is you’re grooming income paying your overhead, electric, etc? Couldn't student tuition and other school income help boost profit?
4. Would you enjoy having potential employees well-trained to your standards?
5. Would you feel rewarded by training people in the art of styling and instilling future stylists with respect and professionalism for the pets and the pet styling profession?
6. Would you enjoy taking your business to another level and having more time to enjoy it?
7. How else can adding a school benefit to my business and myself?
8. Would you enjoy additional income year after year?

There are a few qualifications to make you a success as a pet styling school owner. You must have:

1. Sincere desire to teach qualified pet stylists who have respect for the profession.
2. Experience in the pet styling field, quality pet styling skills and a successful businessperson.
3. Clean modern facility for your students to learn in.
4. Financial stability.

A pet styling school is a synergistic fit to a pet styling operation and offers the highest and best use of space, time and results. As you can imagine there are many tasks to becoming a school as well as a grooming business. What if you don’t have years to develop curricula, systems and deal with state licensing to become a school? We have a solution. You may want to become a Golden Paws School Licensee as others have.

1. Our experience! We have 4 decades of successful pet styling school operations experience.
2. We offer developed systems and support allowing seamless integration of a Golden Paws School into an existing infrastructure.
3. Name recognition! Golden Paws Schools offer high quality and effective pet styling curricula.
4. We give you all the tools for success just as you will equip your students for success!
5. As a Golden Paws Licensor we provide invaluable expertise in State Licensing.
6. Save time. There is no need to take years to "recreate the wheel."
7. Golden Paws has a proven successful track record with several family owned and operated schools during four decades of experience.

We're ready to assist you. Golden Paws has developed methodology, systems, marketing, logos, brochures, lesson plans, step by step school development plan with ongoing personal support! Our proven programs provide you with a great feeling about the education you can offer without worrying about what to teach today or how the to teach a complicated subject to someone who has never groomed at all! Every lesson plan is laid out and it works! These systems, materials and support are designed for ease of use and allows you to successfully integrate the school into your existing operations.

We want to know more about you and your goals. Let us share more about our family company and goals to create the highest quality education in pet styling. As a former stylist, salon owner, business developer and owner I can share the benefits of having a pet styling school operation whether you do it on your own or are interested in more information about licensing a Golden Paws Academy. I look forward to speaking with you.

Sincerely, Mitzi Parrish
