What past students are saying…
“I did an apprenticeship with Kenzie in September of 2022! I highly recommend her! She made me feel comfortable grooming different dog breeds & she is so helpful! Kenzie makes it so fun & easy to learn grooming!”
— Naomi Holt
““I apprenticed with McKenzie in November of 2021. The way she teaches is AMAZING. She was so informative and taught me so many tips and tricks that I didn’t learn in my other courses. She truly gives you everything you need to move on to being a dog groomer either at another location or working for yourself. She supplies you with the best tools, as well as giving you the knowledge of a truly experienced groomer. If dog grooming is a career you are interested in, I highly recommend McKenzie as a teacher.”
