The Missouri School of Dog Grooming
opened its doors in 1987 as Eastern Missouri's first professional grooming
school. Barbara founded the school to meet the needs of the students and
the pet care industry. In 1993 the school moved to a new location,
designed and built just for grooming training. With years of experience
Barbara has refined instruction to help each student gain the skills and
confidence of a professional Groomer in a remarkably short period of time.
The Missouri School of Dog Grooming is
St. Louis' only facility dedicated to grooming and groomer education. For
decades Barbara has worked to promote the image of the Professional
Groomer. She has helped develop professional organizations and advanced
professional certification as recognition for qualified Groomers. Barbara
is the only instructor in Missouri to have earned the title of Certified
Master Groomer.
For students interested in the business of
pet grooming; managing a shop or starting their own business, The
Missouri School of Dog Grooming offers training that includes
instruction in business management, marketing, client relations, personnel
management, and after graduation assistance in start up business planning.
