Learn 2 Groom
I have worked as a National Certified Master Groomer for over 40 years. For much of that time, I traveled the cities of Houston and Chicago grooming cats and dogs in their very own homes. In addition, I have worked all areas of the pet industry and owned 4 pet storefronts in both major cities.
With an abundance of experience, I can teach you the basics of grooming your dog in your own home in about 2 - 4 hours. I work 7 days a week, by appointment, only. Your will save thousands of dollars by learning this skill.
For individuals that would like to learn to groom professionally, I would be happy to teach you, but it will take a minimum of 6 months to get the basics, up to 18 months if you want to be competitive. However, you will be learning from the ONLY NCMG in Houston. If you would like to be the best, learn from the best. Give me a call or text to discuss your future as a pet grooming professional: 832-549-1730.
Perhaps you just have questions or need some pointers. It helps to have the groomer look @ your pet or the tools you are using and the computer is a wonderful way to accomplish this. If this sounds like you, I also offer consultations LIVE online for a fraction of the cost of an actual grooming lesson.
Prices and detailed descriptions are listed below.
