"Thorough and informative course! I completed the dog grooming part and received my cert! Now completing the pet care part that is also very informative and thorough and packs a lot into each module. Great visual layout, no “fluff” and gets straight to the interesting bits. Great instruction videos too!" - Heidi Lee

If you're a caring, compassionate dog lover and are ready for a fulfilling career working with and caring for animals, it's time to make a move and create the life you want.

Master the techniques that dog groomers use so that you can maintain your own pup’s coat; this course is also for you.
