Pet groomers are special people. They have a genuine love and compassion for animals. If this sounds like you or someone you know, why not consider a career in the grooming arts?If you've been thinking about it, you may have a few concerns:
I'm afraid of being the oldest - or youngest - person in school.Our students may be fresh out of high school or even semi-retired. If you are in good physical health, can lift 40 pounds with relative ease, and have good arm and hand dexterity, you could become a groomer.
Changing careers seems risky. Can I really get a job?Absolutely! There are plenty of opportunities for groomers, both locally and across the country. We regularly hear from salons that are ready to hire new staff - and Paragon graduates are in great demand!
How can I afford it?We have several programs that fit your needs. Whether you 're interested in a short term program or want to attend our full 600-hour program, we can help. Payment plans are available for most programs. We can also see if you qualify for loans through our internal financing service. Paragon is also licensed through the state of Michigan, so state level funding may also be available.
How do I know if it's really for me?The best way to know if this is the career for you is to come in for a scheduled visit. We will be happy to show you what a typical day is like and answer any questions you may have. You could even be a "fly on the wall" for a few hours and observe students and Instructors as they learn and groom pets in a regular session.
