Why This Is Different

This does not replace First Aid and CPR.
It does not replace Fear Free.
It does not replace AKC Salon Safe.

It strengthens how those certifications are applied inside salons.

Most certifications measure skill.

The MGP defines professional operating standards.

  • "We need to start prioritizing calm, comfortable, and cooperative grooming each time a pet enters our care."

    Ashley Lawrence — Groomer

  • "I thought going into this I already knew everything I needed to with behavior and grooming, but I was wrong. The way some of this was questioned (especially with tools) brought out things I had never really considered."

    Deb Flores — Groomer/Owner

  • "The MGP has given me a new way of thinking about how I would want every day of work to start and end… and good tools to use on a daily basis to make progress."

    Jennifer Wilson — Owner

  • "Every detail was thoughtfully executed. We're thrilled with the outcome."

    —Former Customer
