Pet Grooming School

The Perfect Time to Enroll in Pet Grooming School

Pet grooming school online provides a great opportunity for animal lovers to launch a new career!  With the pet industry booming, demand for groomers has never been higher, and the trend shows no sign of slowing!  The American Pet Products Associates anticipates that pet owners will spend nearly $110 billion in 2021 with a healthy percentage of that figure going to groomers.

Long History Teaching Pet Grooming Online

Since 1998, Animal Behavior College has been helping animal lovers turn their passion into great careers.  Our online pet grooming school provides a thorough grounding in anatomy, dog and cat grooming techniques, breed specific cuts, health and safety, Pet First Aid and CPR, and more.

The ABC pet grooming program also includes a helpful unit on career building skills.  This section of the curriculum provides information on how to start a pet grooming service, such as how to create a business plan, how to create a budget and how to market a business using a variety of techniques.  Additionally, students gain the information needed to work as an employee in the pet grooming industry, including resume writing, job searching skills and interviewing techniques.

No Substitute for Hands-On Experience

Steven Appelbaum, the founder of Animal Behavior College, realized from the start the importance of providing students hands-on practice in their chosen career.  The key to producing successful pet groomers lies in combining online learning and real world experience.  There’s no way to bathe a virtual cat or clip a virtual dog!  ABC pioneered the “externship” to provide students an invaluable opportunity.

The externship enables students anywhere in the United States and Canada to gain experience by pairing them with a local professional upon completion of their online coursework.  This allows them to put into practice everything they learned in the first nine stages of the program.  A required minimum of 150 hours ensures that ABC certified pet groomers leave the program confident in their ability to perform a full groom.

As a bonus, every student enrolled in ABC’s dog groomer course receives a complete grooming toolkit. These 40 professional grooming tools include: clippers, blades, shears, brushes, combs, shampoo, conditioner and more. This high-quality equipment is essential for every groomer’s toolbox and can be used when you start your new career.

Are You Ready for a Great Career Working with Animals?

If you think pet grooming sounds like a great way to indulge your passion for animals while making a good living, give us a call at 1-800-795-3294.  An admissions counselor will be happy to walk you through the enrollment process.
