Pet Grooming can be a DREAM CAREER or a DISAPPOINTING BURNOUT the difference is understanding the psychology of the animals we love . . . 

Pet grooming is physical, most people have a tendency to create more anxiety in the dogs they're grooming.

 

These people have the best of intentions; however without meaning to, they leave the dog more reactive creating stress and anxiety. Leading to burnout and a loss of job satisfaction.

The pet grooming program at Utah School of Pet grooming goes way beyond just learning to groom animals.  They spend signficant time going over animal behavior, body language and potential problems groomers need to look for as well as making sure that as a groomer, you have the appropriate energy to accomplish a calm, stress free and successful experience for the animal, the groomer and the pets owner. 

    Anyone who dreams of becoming a groomer must attend this school!  You'll get much more than expected and really learn how to make a meaningful connection with every animal you work with.  Highly recommend!
