Groomadog Academy is a national licensed dog grooming school with BOTH an onsite school location and a home study course. We grade every dog you groom. Dog grooming can be learned by correspondence if your school is dedicated to give you the time and effort you deserve when paying to learn a trade. Our classes are 90% hands on. You will have the knowledge to groom over 160 breeds. Our students can compete in national competitions as well as get certified through national grooming associations. Our course, written by a master groomer that owned a residence dog grooming school for ten years and Thrudreamin' Enterprises, a groomer's consultant firm. Let’s open your shop today. Available in DVD, VHS and CD-Rom.

Here's a quote from a satisfied student, "I have been a student and I am ready to hand in my Final now. I can honestly say that I have gotten more feedback than I imagined. Kathy takes a lot of time with the pictures you send her of your groomed dogs. She writes notes and even draws lines to show where improvement is needed and has always thoughtfully answered any question that I have had. The student forum has been a wealth of info. I truly feel that I got my money's worth and more, plus I get to be a certified groomer instead of just a groomer with a correspondence course certificate. Lately I have been grooming in a leased space in front of a 17-year veteran groomer, and I can tell you that you can have confidence in what you will learn at Groomadog Academy.” Click here to visit the Groomadog website.
