“I received my Professional Pet Stylist Diploma in the mail last week, and I was so excited! I wanted to let you both know what a positive experience I had at The Whole Pet Grooming Academy. Lory’s enthusiasm, positivity, and patience made learning the fundamental skills of grooming fun.
I found a job at a small salon near my home. The salon owner shares the same dog-first philosophy, and I am enjoying my time there. I have much to learn as a new groomer, but I am grateful to Whole Pet for giving me a solid foundation to build on. I look forward to taking more classes at Whole Pet in the future.”
— Sarah Martin, Professional Pet Stylist
