I completed the 16 week course and graduated from the Academy of Animal Arts in Largo, Florida this year and it was one of the best experiences of my life. The staff there were eager to teach and made it fun and exciting. The curricuIum was extensive and taught me not only how to groom dogs, it also taught me about them which I found very interesting. I loved dogs before the course and now I love them even more and understand them better. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone who is considering a career in dog grooming. It is a loving and caring learning environment, and the facility itself was always kept immaculate and clean, stocked with the most current equipment and grooming products for us students. Teri, the owner and primary teacher has shown dogs all over the world. She knows the industry and is a very wonderful teacher. I feel honored to have learned my new trade from Teri's vast knowledge of animals, precise instruction, and wonderful attitude that she presented throughout the entire 16 weeks.There were a variety of students from all walks of life, including international students, and Teri showed an enormous amount of patience and compassion for them all during the entire course. Some students in class with me had varying abilities and disabilities and Teri showed great patience and understanding with them all. I did hear about a student dismissed awhile back from this school for being disruptive in class, and, knowing Teri as I do now, I'm sure she was justified. This is the place to be if you want to learn to groom dogs.
