The grooming school in my area charges $4,000 for a three month course. After that, they can start grooming right away. I know of one groomer in my neighborhood who just got out of grooming school, and he has his own grooming business already! He did work as a groomer's assistant for a few months before he went to school, but it didn't take him long to become a professional groomer. I would think that working one-on-one with a groomer would be better than going to school; you'd get more personal attention. $6,000 doesn't seem out of line to me. |
