Here are some of the comments from students of the Elite academy for dog grooming training:
This course has been worth it. At the beginning I knew nothing about pet grooming but in only the first week I think I learned more than a semester at University. I now feel very comfortable grooming a dog by myself. It was great having hands-on experience every day and the fact that it was a small class I think we learned faster.
I now have the confidence to go do my own thing but knowing you are only a phone call away is great! You were a wonderful teacher and (I) will never forget my experience here!

This course has been enlightening to say the least. I found out that grooming is a lot of hard work that requires patience, love of animals, attention to detail and most of all, perseverance. I see this course as a stepping stone to further learning on the practical side of dog grooming. I look forward to it as I now feel I have the tools and knowledge to use the multitude of grooming tools safely and correctly…and how they apply to specific breeds.

I have been equipped not only from a grooming perspective but from a compassion perspective…You have taught me that these little animals need not only grooming but while there on your table they need “love.” I will take so many tools and acquired skills but the most important is that your client is number 1 at all times. This is not the owner but the dog. Thank you. This has been a memorable, awesome experience.

Starting this course, I thought I already knew how to groom but needed to learn proper techniques…was I ever wrong!
I’ve gained so much in the last twelve weeks it’s remarkable! Aside from learning how to properly groom, I’ve met and gained the greatest friends!! Madame Charlotte is a remarkable groomer and excellent teacher.

It has taught me about the appreciation of the dogs—understanding and feeling more for the them…Also knowing the more the dog trusts you, the more respect you will get from them. Enjoyed learning to be a dog ‘Hairdresser’! Thank you for having the patience with each of us…You have been great.

I didn’t know what to expect. I had so many thoughts running through my head wondering if I was going to like it, if I was going to do okay, and if I was going to fit in and of course everything was great.
You are an amazing instructor and person. I am so happy I picked here (Elite) to take my course. I’m taking out of this course a lot of knowledge and the proper way to groom. I’m also leaving with a great sense of pride in my work.

Now I can apply what I have learned to what I love. I have thoroughly enjoyed this class and the people who have gone through it with me. Charlotte, you were great! Really, really loved this.

This course has made my dream of grooming dogs and opening up my own business become a reality. Not only have I learned how to groom, but I’ve also learned a lot about the animal itself that I did not know.

This course has been an awesome opportunity to meet wonderful people and dogs. It will give me…the opportunity to stay at home in NB with family and friends.

This course was everything I had hoped for and more. I’m really glad I came here. It didn’t seem like 3 months at all, it was like my last day was my first, because time flew by so fast.
The school you have created is so warm and welcoming that I don’t ever want to leave. You are a great teacher … you have an amazing gift and I hope you pass that on for many years to come to many more students.
I will take everything I’ve learned from you and hopefully put it to good use … I wish you the best in all your work. Your #1 student.

I would like to thank you for making my 12 weeks here very enjoyable. After years of not being out of my safe zone (years at the same job), I really dreaded having to go out and start a new chapter in my life.
You have made my decision a much happier one. Thank you again for being a supportive instructor. You are great at what you do, and I’m truly going to miss you.
