each time they visit and truly become a part of their family.
You'll get to know their pets' styles and personalities to create a
customized, stylish experience just for them! From that first
shampoo to that final strut home, you'll take pride in the services
you provide! GROOMED FOR GREATNESS: You bring the passion, -and
we'll bring the training. Petsmart offers a training program that
will set you up for success.
- Stage 1-- -Bather: Jump start your education by getting
hands-on experience with our pets. These pets become our own pets
while they are in our care, so our number one priority is to get
safety certified. Under the guidance of the salon leader, you'll
begin your training as a bather and learn about different dog
breeds and styling. You'll help to get the dogs comfortable in our
salon and spend time bathing them, trimming their nails and
providing support to groomers throughout the pet's stay.
- Stage 2-- Grooming Academy: After getting some experience under
your belt (well, smock!), you'll attend ourGrooming Academy! You'll
have 4 weeks in a classroom environment, gaining insights from our
experienced Academy Trainers. You'll dive in deeper into breed
styling, caring for different dog breeds, and get comfortable with
tools and clippers. As an added bonus, at graduation, you'll
receive a free tool kit worth over $600!
- Stage 3--Groomer Trainee: You'll put your brand-new education
and fancy new tool kit to work when you head back to our salon.
With the leadership and oversight of experienced groomers, you'll
begin to groom all different breeds and sizes of dogs. We have a
target of 200 dogs to ensure you get the experience and diversity
you need.
- Stage 4--Pet Stylist in Training: Now it's time for you to
really hone your skill set. You'll build relationships with your
own clients, advise on styles, suggest new services and share in
the joy that comes with a client picking up their freshly coiffed
pet. It's the best thing in the world, well, that free tool kit is
pretty great, too! THE WARM AND FUZZIES: We've highlighted job
responsibilities and programs as best as we could above-but the

watching him strut his stuff on the way out. Paws off, ladies, he's
taken!
- It's the excitement of Walter's wagging tail during his bath or
Sadie's smile after her teeth are cleaned.
- It's the gussying up of Gizmo for this year's holiday

from their clients!)
