Our class sizes are small and designed to offer individual attention. Our hands on approach will provide you with a solid foundation to build your successful career. The hands on and detailed explanations were exactly what I needed to continue to accomplish my goals in this business. The job placement worked well for me and I am very inspired to start my own home grooming business as well.

My training at AAOPG has given me the skills to run a successful solo grooming business from the ground up. The American Academy Of Pet Grooming is a New York State licensed institution of Pet Grooming.

Located in the heart of Manhattan near the bustling Baruch College campus, the school offers a fully-licensed and comprehensive curriculum for those interested in either beginning a new career or changing the career they already have.
One of the most important lessons in pet grooming is learning by doing, not later on the job. With individualized attention, you will learn. All of our instructors are experienced groomers. They will teach you grooming and share their field experience. You will be prepared to develop your own client base.

I initially thought their grooming is only done by students and can take up a long time. Turns out you can request your dog be groomed by one of their instructors and it doesn't take as long which is what I needed. It cost more obviously but it was totally worth it! Great service, nice and helpful staff. Will definitely go back.

Unfortunately my first experience ever with a groomer and it wasn't so great. From start to finish the communication was atrocious as I was never informed students would be performing the service until 1 hour after dropping my dog off. The cut is well below average as there are long patches of hair throughout the body, Her ears and head were completely ignored, the bathing seems non existent, The beard is completely crooked, and the nail trimmings looks as though the blade was very very dull.

I no way blame students but the instructors who should have payed better attention to detail in communication and the hair city to guide their students in accomplishing better work.

If your'e looking to become a dog groomer and don't know where to go, this is your sign to attend this school! The teachers here are incredibly kind and patient. Each class is very hands on and we groomed actual customers dogs! Not only will you learn how to groom here but they also teach you how to start your own business, they offer lifetime job help, and they offer a CPR course for those who want to get both certifications!

The price is definitely reasonable considering the amount of equipment we use and how much you get to learn. Overall I loved my experience here and if I could do it all over again I would still attend this school happily :. Thank you to my awesome teachers for a great and informative 5 weeks!

Been going here for a few years now and recently things have taken a turn for the worse. Our dog had a small cut last time we he was groomed, not okay but also small enough that I can see how it might have been overlooked. This time our dog came back with multiple cuts one significant cut that could not have been missed and made it a little uncomfortable for him to walk for a day. Accidents happen but they should have said something, an apology, or at least tell me so I know to keep that area clean until it heals.

I feel terrible having left him all day getting hurt with these folks. Never again. If there was a zero star rating and red alert warning I would choose that. It's a school, I never cared that they were disorganized or how his haircut turned out. Just don't hurt the dogs!

Great experience with my 5 month old Cavapoo. The American Academy of Pet Grooming exceeded my expectations. and I can be a bit picky. Here are some before and after photos. She needed a cut but I requested just a trim and they did just that! Plus they brushed her teeth and cut her nails. They only charged $35 + $10 for the teeth was glad to get that price to test them out and will be happy to come back and pay full price next time. Also my little girl left very happy :
