Professional Canine Stylist™

$2,000.00

A Professional Diploma for Everyday Grooming

Whether you’ve been grooming for one year or ten, this program gives you a clear, recognized diploma that stands on its own.

Who This Program Is For

  • Groomers who want a recognized diploma, not a “master” title
