Welcome to Dog -N- Suds Pet Grooming School

My decision to open a dog grooming school was made because I felt offering a better learning environment with more hands on experience was a necessity. Students will not just be practicing on given dogs, they will be able to observe all aspects of the dog grooming business as they become part of the world of dog grooming.

My name is Phyllis McDonald and I have lived in   Medina, Ohio all of my adult life.  My husband Bill and my children share our lives with five bullmastiffs and two cavalier king charles spaniels. We also breed Bullmastiffs. www.McDonaldsBullmastiffs.com

Having fun

My students and I will have fun as we make our groomed dogs beautiful and our clients happy while enjoying the humane and profitable world of dog grooming. This school is more of an apprenticeship.

What you can expect

During this program students will be taught many aspects of dog grooming including animal treatment and safety, how to use clippers and scissors, dematting and styling, customer service, and investment start up costs.

Why choose Dog - N - Suds?

We never have more than three (3) students at a time which ensures hands on training and close instruction from the instructor!

      “Phyllis gives her students real hands on experience working with dogs.
