Good news for dog groomers in Alaska! A Forbes Advisor study revealed that Alaska’s dog owners are in the top 5 in the nation when it comes both to devotion to their dogs and to spoiling them.
Lots of those spoiled fur babies enjoy regular grooms and spa days. That level of pampering translates to great job prospects for dog groomers in the state! Demand for groomers in Alaska is high and expected to remain so.
Alaska’s a pretty big state though–more than twice the size of Texas. Finding a dog grooming school nearby can be a real challenge.
Fortunately, you don’t have to go to a brick-and-mortar school to learn dog grooming. You can learn dog grooming at Animal Behavior College (ABC) online. We have been training dog groomers online for two decades and have certified hundreds of groomers.
With ABC, you can enroll whenever you like, wherever you live. If you have reliable internet service, you can enroll at ABC and earn your certification in about 12 months.
The curriculum was developed by professional pet groomers and includes interesting content and videos to keep you motivated. Our affordable, flexible course even includes a free comprehensive grooming kit to help you get started as a groomer!
And what would a grooming program be without the chance to get your hands on a pair of scissors or clippers? Our externship provides a chance to work with a mentor groomer, getting valuable experience and guidance. Students are expected to be able to demonstrate that they can perform a full groom in order to earn certification. It may sound a little scary, but it’s a super opportunity. ABC students gain confidence in their skills as they work alongside a mentor. (Check with your admissions counselor on options if you are in a remote area.)
By becoming a dog groomer you can fulfill a need and embark on a rewarding career. Check out the ABC Grooming Instruction Program today. Call 1-800-795-3294 to speak to an admissions counselor. Just imagine: within a year, you could be wielding a set of clippers, working as a certified pet groomer!
