I recently completed the 4 week Intensive program with EDGA and I cannot recommend it enough to those interested in grooming or wanting to hone in and further develop their... read more grooming skills. I came in with experience handling dogs and some grooming knowledge. I was honestly sad to leave, but I am so pleased to have had this opportunity as I now feel more confident in clipping and styling than ever! I had the opportunity to learn various techniques and groom a range of breeds in pet clips, breed standards and even had a go at asian fusion! I am so grateful to have had Tiarne as my teacher; she is very knowledgeable and helpful, and was able to answer all of my questions. I would also like to thank Brittany, Caitlin, Kim and all of the girls at perky pooches for making me feel so welcome and for their assistance. I would highly suggest this course to those with some dog handling skills as to ensure you get the most out of the grooming and styling portion of the training.
