Americans love to spoil their pets. We’re spending billions to keep our four-legged friends healthy and well-fed, not to mention pampered at grooming salons and luxury spas across the country. Just how much does it cost to keep Rover happy? It’s an astonishing number: an estimated $47.7 billion was spent in 2010. The industry continues to grow at a dynamic rate of some 6% a year. That makes pets one of the fastest-growing career opportunities of the future.
What are your goals? Do you want to run your own pet salon? Do you want to advance the pet grooming skills you’ve already acquired? Do you have a career in the pet care industry and want to broaden your range of skills? Looking for a retirement job or just starting your career? Paragon will give you the skills to help get you there.
How intense do you want your training to be? Are you ready for our 8-hour day schedule, or are you more comfortable with our 4-hour days? We have options so you learn at the pace at which you will best excel. The training programs are flexible and can be customized to meet your needs.
Can’t spend time away from home for training? We have home study courses available, too! We even package up the tools and textbooks necessary for Home Study so you don’t have to spend time shopping around for equipment and reading materials.
