Proof from Paw Parents
Meaghan & Duke
Trimming my dogs' nails at home doesn't feel like an overwhelming proposition anymore. I feel confident and equipped to give my dogs the care they need. I highly recommend this course!
Jason & Dozer
I especially like learning about the right tools to use and how to make sure my dog is comfortable around those tools. I feel a lot more confident trimming my dog's nails!
Monica & Pepe
Comprehensive and easy to follow. The content is well-structured, breaking down the grooming process into clear, manageable modules based on different dog hair types and specific grooming steps. The instructor provided lots of tips & tricks, and the adorable dog models are a bonus.
Mike & Ollie
It was getting harder and harder to leave my senior dog at the groomer for nail trims and baths. This course taught us everything we need to take care of her at home without the stress of leaving her. We even learned great tips for grooming a senior dog!
Sara & Timothy
I wanted to get my new puppy off to the right start with grooming. With my Paw Parent Academy course, I not only learned how to keep my puppy’s nails, teeth and coat well maintained, I also learned how to make him feel comfortable with grooming.
