I am currently in grooming school right now. Luckily there was a great one in my area. When looking for a school i didn't go by location, i went by reputation. I am going to Nash Academy in cliffside park, but am dabbling with the idea of going to Kentucky. If you can afford it, i recommend going to the school in KY.
