Becoming a Pet Groomer

Until this month's enrollment period ends!

The End of Your Online Grooming School Search

Becoming a dog groomer does not have to cost a fortune in school tuition.  Pet grooming school tuition can be very affordable. Through Animal Behavior College, you can learn online while also getting valuable experience with a local mentor–and we have flexible options. Anyone who loves animals and wants to spend every day working with them will find that grooming presents the perfect career opportunity.

Dog Grooming School Tuition & Scholarship Opportunities

Tuition for the ABC Dog Grooming Program starts at just $3,499.00

This cost covers your dog grooming course online which includes a program manager personally assigned to you, as well as our in person, real world training portion of the program with an ABC Mentor Trainer. ABC sets you up with one of their experienced and tested mentors so there is no need for you to try to find your own mentor or facility to volunteer at to get hands-on experience!

Tuition covers:

  • All required digital study materials (approximately 980 pages)
  • Over 6 hours of instructional video produced by master groomers
  • 30+ piece grooming toolkit with professional grooming supplies, including clippers, blades, brushes, combs, shears and nail clippers
  • In person, real world training experience with a professional pet groomer that ABC coordinates for you
  • Student support from your personally appointed Program Manager
  • Pet CPR and First Aid Certification (good for 2 years)
  • Lifetime certification as an ABC Pet Groomer (ABCPG) upon successful completion
  • ABC Alumni Membership

ABC dog grooming students receive more equipment than those of our other programs. Dog groomers need good clippers, blades, scissors, combs and much, much more in order to start their dog grooming careers properly. Prior to launching our Dog Groomer Program, we searched for many years to find a company that could give us both the quality of grooming supplies and service we expected for our students. Groomer’s Choice is that company, and we’re proud to have them as the company that supplies the grooming kit to our students. To find out more about Groomer’s Choice, click on their logo.

In addition, we’ve recently partnered with Andis to provide our students with some of their essential grooming supplies. For more information about this fine company and their products, visit the Andis website.
