GROOMED FOR GREATNESS:
You bring the passion and we ll bring the training. Petsmart offers a paid training program that will set you up for success.
- Stage 1-- Pet Stylist Apprentice: Jump start your education by getting hands-on experience with our pets. These pets become our own pets while they are in our care, so our number one priority is to get safety certified. Under the guidance of the salon leader, you ll begin your training as a bather and learn about different dog breeds and styling. You ll help to get the dogs comfortable in our salon and spend time bathing them, trimming their nails and providing support to groomers throughout the pet s stay.
- Stage 2-- Grooming Academy: After getting some experience under your belt (well, smock!), you ll attend our paid Grooming Academy! You ll have 4 weeks in a classroom environment, gaining insights from our experienced Academy Trainers. You ll dive in deeper into breed styling, caring for different dog breeds, and get comfortable with tools and clippers. As an added bonus, at graduation, you ll receive a free tool kit worth over $600!
- Stage 3 Groomer Trainee: You ll put your brand-new education and fancy new tool kit to work when you head back to our salon. With the leadership and oversight of experienced groomers, you ll begin to groom all different breeds and sizes of dogs. We have a target of 200 dogs to ensure you get the experience and diversity you need.
- Stage 4 Pet Stylist in Training: Now it s time for you to really hone your skill set. You ll build relationships with your own clients, advise on styles, suggest new services and share in the joy that comes with a client picking up their freshly coiffed pet. It s the best thing in the world, well, that free tool kit is pretty great, too!

Paws off, ladies, he s taken!
- It s the excitement of Walter s wagging tail during his bath or Sadie s smile after her teeth are cleaned.
- It s the gussying up of Gizmo for this year s holiday photoshoot. (Fun fact: many of our groomers receive holiday cards from their clients!)
