Canine Design Apprentice Program
Apprentice program information
Canine Design grooming school provides a 12-week course in basic all-breed pet grooming with emphasis on safety, service, and excellence. All course sections include text and written work as well as the majority of time being spent with hands-on instruction. No more than two students are usually scheduled to be working at the same level at any given time period.
All students must successfully complete solo grooms. Any student wishing to work successive weeks on specialized areas of competency may make arrangements to do so for an additional amount to be determined at that time. Students are encouraged to attend outside activities such as dog shows, trade shows, and grooming competitions to gain proficiency in other areas of grooming.
Stacey is also currently offering individualized seminars for other pet professionals and private parties who only want to learn specific aspects of the Pet styling process.
