Pawsperity Grooming School trains students in the art of dog grooming. With a focus on single parents living in poverty, the school equips students in a competitive market while improving their family’s future. Our students receive 644 classroom hours with experienced instructors. All services at the grooming school are performed by students in training, under the direct supervision of professional grooming instructors.
Much like humans can go to a beauty or barber school for a reduced rate haircut performed by a student, pups receive reduced rate grooms at Pawsperity Grooming School.
When you bring your dog to our school for a groom, our students are empowered with a valuable opportunity to gain experience and prepare for their new career as a dog groomer. Dog grooming is not only an in-demand career*, but provides the healing benefits of the human-animal bond.
