Master the Art of Grooming with Prestige's Unique Curriculum and Theory

Mastering the art of dog grooming requires more than just a love for animals; it's a blend of creativity, skill, and an understanding of canine behavior. At Prestige Dog Grooming School in Calgary, we're proud to offer a curriculum and theory program that's as unique as our students. Designed by our founder, Danna Alexander, our approach to grooming education is tailored to empower aspiring groomers with the confidence and expertise necessary to thrive in this rewarding field. 

Hands-On Training From Day One

One of the foundational elements of our program is the emphasis on hands-on training. From day one, students have the opportunity to work directly with dogs, applying what they've learned in real-world scenarios. This approach ensures that each student not only understands grooming techniques in theory but feels comfortable and proficient in practice. By working with a variety of dog breeds, students gain insight into different coat types and grooming needs, preparing them for diverse challenges in their future careers. 

Comprehensive Curriculum

Our curriculum is both diverse and comprehensive, covering all facets of dog grooming. Students are taken through a three-stage system, focusing initially on preparing the dog's coat, followed by mastering clipper work, and finally learning advanced scissor techniques. This methodical approach ensures that students build a strong foundation of skills that can be adapted to various grooming styles and preferences. By integrating theory with practice, the course empowers students to develop a well-rounded skill set, underpinned by the latest industry standards and techniques. 

Lifetime Access to Online Theory

To complement our classroom training, Prestige offers lifetime access to an extensive online theory program. With over 300 video tutorials filmed from the groomer's perspective, students can revisit lessons and refine their skills long after graduation. This resource is invaluable for continuous learning and adaptation to new trends and techniques in dog grooming. The online component also caters to various learning styles, offering supplementary materials such as articles, videos, and forums to enhance the educational experience.

Focus on Individualized Learning

Understanding that every student learns differently, our program is tailor-made to accommodate diverse learning needs. Individual instruction from Danna Alexander, a master groomer, alongside her expert staff, ensures that students receive personalized guidance. The curriculum also includes practical and open-book exams, designed to be accessible for those with learning disabilities. By fostering an inclusive learning environment, students are encouraged to discover their unique talents and abilities, enabling them to shine in their careers. 

Equipping Students for Success

At Prestige, our goal is to set students up for immediate success in the grooming industry. We provide a full professional groomer equipment toolkit, which supports practice and skill refinement both in and out of the classroom. Additionally, the inclusion of a pet first aid certification course ensures that students are equipped to handle emergencies with confidence and professionalism. 

Ongoing Support and Development

Our commitment to student success extends beyond graduation. Prestige offers continued support through various channels, including social networking and an online education portal. This provides graduates with access to updated learning materials and professional development opportunities throughout their careers. The unique design of the Prestige program ensures that students are never alone in their journey, creating a supportive community of fellow groomers.
