Reviews
"I was apart of the spring 2023 class and I graduated in July. For a little background information, I’ve always struggled with school. I was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia my early years of high school. I have trouble with remembering steps, paying attention and I often space out in conversation. My learning disabilities made me feel like I was stupid and incapable of learning new things. This made me feel very hesitant towards applying to the KCGA. literally on the first day i felt an overwhelming amount of passion and patience from the instructors and staff at the puppy parlor. There was difficult days and often I doubted myself in my ability but the instructors always had my back. They always knew when something was troubling me and reassured that I was on the right path! Learning to groom at the KCGA has made me feel smart, something I’ve never felt towards any school environment. Now I groom at the puppy parlor post grad. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been and I wouldn’t change anything for the world!"
"I attended KCGA in Spring of 2023. I came with some bathing experience and no grooming experience and it was a fantastic course! You learn something new every day and I felt prepared to start grooming on my own when I graduated!"
"Went through their grooming academy with 0 experience of a dog groomer. There were a total of 6 students with 2 teachers. The class was very informative and hands-on from day one to the final graduation ceremony!! My training couldn’t have been better. The skills that I learned from this grooming academy launched me into my own mobile grooming business. Highly recommended!!"
"I attended KCGA. I would like to give an honest review of my experience in this program. I am 5 months post grad. This grooming program costs about 10k, and you will pay for your own grooming kit (I paid ($550). The program is Mon-Thurs 8:30-4:30. This does not allow you the ability to work during school. They also typically run late. Never a guarantee of what time you’ll be leaving. You WILL get a plethora of extremely helpful knowledge about dogs. Nutrition, disease, anatomy, and so much more! I’ve found, that knowledge, sets me apart from other groomers. I have paid off my loan for school and will soon have the credit cards paid off as well. I am making a decent income (tripled my income) and am grateful that I went to the school. However, I would also like prospective students to be aware of the toll the school will take on you. They are extremely particular and have that “I’m critiquing you to death so you’ll be better” mindset. For those that are motivated by that sort of teaching style you will probably do well. Those that thrive on affirmation and correction blended, struggle a bit more. I’ve seen this in several of their students. Including myself. This program is a bit “militant” for a lack of better term. I’ve since seen other KC metro area grooming schools that have more diverse hours, tuition cost, and post grad benefits.I am currently at a big box brand name store, grooming ,and have learned lots about their (known company brand) grooming academy. Before you decide to invest your time, energy, and money into this school(KCGA) I’d hope you will consider all of your options. The big box brand name stores have grooming programs, and even though other stylists will criticize them to death…the education isn’t much different. There’s only a few little differences. The big stores also pay you while you’re in school. However, if you are looking to learn grooming and already set on having a personal salon, I’d highly recommend this school. It might be flawed, but every single one is. I think for the average person, where the tuition and time off work is reasonable, this is a great opportunity. Seriously. You’ll be set up! I’d also would’ve liked to know ahead of time that the school is run by Christian owners and does have some conservative policies in their business. (No swearing, gossiping..). The school is not run in a traditional professional academic way. It’s more like, a 16 week work training. There’s constant interruptions, hours of listening to the inner lives of your teachers, and endless waiting on someone to help you. And at the same time, these teachers will stand with you at a table for an hour until you figure out what you’re stuck on. It’s not awful and it’s not wonderful. I hope you find exactly what you need…dog grooming is an art and art can’t truly be taught. You’ve got it or you don’t. Please, look into ALL your options before coming to this program. All my best on your new career"
"I attended the KCGA in summer of 2022, and I couldn’t have had a better training/learning experience! Wonderful and positive atmosphere. The instructors are very helpful and patient. They will encourage you throughout your challenges, and inspire you to be the best groomer you can be. The curriculum is excellent and efficient, to help you improve drastically in short amount of time. You will learn so much more than you know! If you are passionate, care a lot for dogs, and are willing to go the extra mile for them, this is the grooming school for you!!"
