Let's give a round of ap-PAWS for all of our PetSmart Grooming Academy graduates! 👏🥳

These talented stylists begin as bathers and work to the stylist level after participating in our paid-on-the-job Grooming Academy. The academy is an exclusive four-week, 160-hour program that teaches stylists-to-be everything they need to know to be successful in our grooming salons.
This includes learning the basics of grooming from District Academy Trainers, getting hands-on experience grooming various dogs, and a free tool kit (worth over $500!) when you finish up!
After completing the program, our salon team loves to celebrate such a great accomplishment and all of the FURRY hard work put in to get there. Check out some of the fun below!
