80 HOUR PROGRAM | OPEN ENROLLMENT | WEEKEND CLASSES
Dog Grooming Classes
Embark on a rewarding career in pet grooming with Diamond Cut Dog Grooming School's comprehensive training classes. Designed with flexibility in mind, our 80-hour program can be tailored to fit around your current commitments, whether a single Saturday or multiple days a week.
You will learn essential skills like brushing and bathing, combined with advanced grooming techniques, all backed by our strong emphasis on safety. Students experience hands-on learning, with support to start their own businesses post-graduation. As a graduate, you’ll have access to expert guidance and the option to purchase professional equipment, ensuring you're well-prepared for success. Join our vibrant community of skilled groomers.
This Program can be completed in 2 weeks. We have incorporated our bathing and brushing into the grooming course. We have not separated our programs. We feel brushing and bathing is part of the grooming. This way you are able to spend more time with hands on and learning the grooming. Students can complete the 80 hour course by scheduling their class on week days or days in which they are able to attend.This may be just a Saturday class or a few days a week, that would be convenient to their job schedule. This would take longer than a two week period if you work a fulltime job. We do have some students that can only attend one day a week because of their work schedule. Class time includes ½ hour lunch daily, this is not counted as clock hours. You will have 8 clock hours per day, and on some days it maybe longer. Each student may voluntarily help clean. Clean up time is also not included as clock hours
