Grooming School

Welcome to XoloDoggie Grooming School

Our pet grooming school is one of the best opportunity for you, if you are interesting in become a professional Pet Groomer come and meet with us. Our XoloDoggie School of Pet Grooming is currently owned by Marisol Rivera and Carlos Garcia who are Professional Pet Groomers and pet lovers and have working in the pet care industry for more than ten years.

Here at XoloDoggie School Pet Grooming, we are hands-on,that means you will be in the tubs with a dog on your first day with us. While we offer handouts, classroom discussion, and small group work, the majority of learning takes place at your table each and every day. We are a small school, which is part of what makes us work. With few students at a time and two instructors, our students are given all the one-on-one instruction they need to gain the skill and confidence needed to become a professional pet groomer.

At XoloDoggie School Pet Grooming, we believe grooming is more than just breed patterns and haircuts it is a lifestyle. As such, we will not only teach you how to groom but also how to be a groomer. This is a demanding career, both of body and mind, which is why we are always working to offer our students the most comprehensive grooming education possible.

Become a Professional Pet Grooming

We require 500 hours of hands-on training, which takes approximately four to five months depending on the students' schedule and commitment to their education.

We do not have financial aid, but we do allow payment plans.

We do not have semesters or terms here at Xolodoggie. Instead, students start their courses individually and join current students at various stages of the program, similar to the one-room schools back in the day.

Classes run Monday through Saturdays. Class starts at 8:00 AM and end when the day is done or as we like to say, when the last dog goes home.

Call us old fashioned, but we prefer a face-to-face interview with all applicants of XoloDoggie School Pet Grooming. This is a considerable investment of time and money, for both you and the school. We want to make sure that those who are accepted into the program have a clear concept of what working in the grooming industry is like. It isn't for everyone, and unfortunately, we don't get to play with puppies all day. A love of dogs is a must, as well as a good foundation of dog behavior and handling. There is a significant physical demand, so students should be in reasonably good health, able to stand on their feet for long periods of time, and able to lift large, heavy, fluffy and at times, uncooperative dogs.
