Owner

In learning from his dedicated clients about the need for good dog groomers to take care their special family members he felt the need to pass on his craft. It is about learning the temperament of the dog, the family dynamics, and creating an environment where both feel safe and cared for. He creates grooming plans that work for the entire family. Some dogs just need a bath every once in a while but many of his clients (Humans and Dogs) rely on him to continue to feel happy every day. A happy well groomed pup is better for the whole family.

"A boutique school that goes back to the art of an apprenticeship program combined with classroom learning."

Hayley’s Day Spa (Madison's sisters grooming business) has become such a success that Madison wanted something to call her own! Introducing Madison’s Grooming Academy. A boutique school that goes back to the art of an apprenticeship program combined with classroom learning. Most schools for Dog grooming only offer on line learning. We believe that the experience of learning to groom all breeds in person from a dedicated Mentor is the way to truly learn to be an expert groomer. You will be guided every step of the way. Whether you take the 5 week full time or the weekend course you will finish with 2 certifications. One from the American Kennel Club and one from Penn Foster who we have partnered with to provide the online portion of the training.

While NYS does not currently require a license for dog grooming, we strongly believe these regulations are coming.


With that being said, we have created our curriculum using the most reliable standards available.
