Our Policies

Calendar

We do not utilize the conventional academic school calendar. Our dog grooming school is based on students' individual needs. Hours will be scheduled based on the dogs' availability and students' ability to schedule clock hours. Dog -N- Suds dog grooming school will work with each student to compose class hours that work for the student.

If a student is unable to attend class it is the student's obligation to let the school know as soon as possible because scheduled dogs may need to be cancelled. Weather may be an important factor and class may need to be cancelled. The safety of our clients, their animals, and the students must be of primary concern.

Dog - N - Suds dog grooming school will observe the following holidays: New Years Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve
