Do you love dogs as much as we do? Have you found yourself dreaming about a career with pets? Dog grooming is a fast-growing industry, and it might be more accessible than you imagined. Groomers spend their days interacting with pets, giving each one a polished, well-groomed look that leaves them prancing with joy and their guardians ready to schedule their next appointment. At Beach for Dogs dog grooming school in Naperville, we can help you build the foundation for success with our dog grooming training program developed for folks just like you.

Our dog grooming experts can help you learn to build positive, productive relationships with both your canine clients and their handlers with hands-on training. You’ll receive constant feedback designed to help you hone your skills and develop advanced techniques to polish your practice as a professional groomer. You’ll get to know and work with dogs of all kinds of breeds, temperaments, and need levels for the practical experience you need to give you the competitive edge you want as a groomer. 

Our dog grooming school includes classes with comprehensive training but also practical experience. You’ll learn everything you need to work as an independent dog groomer or a freelance, mobile, or home-based groomer, or you can work as a groomer in an established salon or retail facility.
