Admission
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
"I've had the dream of becoming a dog groomer and opening my own business for years. Unleashed was the first and only option that was recommended to me by my personal groomers. I contacted Jackie and looked no further. From the very first step I took in this journey, I have been extremely fulfilled. The education and mentorship I received from Jackie herself has been second to none. Jackie has 20 years of experience in pet grooming along with business management and it shows. My eagerness to learn all aspects of this business in just 14 short weeks helped me excel during my time spent in school. I'm set to open my new business just months after having graduated from Unleashed Pet Grooming School. All while making lifelong friends and connections along the way, I could not have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend entrusting Jackie with your precious pets' needs because she cares more than the next person."
