Hands-on Pet Grooming Training at The Paragon Training Center

The word ‘paragon’ means a model of excellence.

This has been the driving force behind The Paragon School curriculum’s development. Since 1991, founder Melissa Verplank has personally modified and implemented the training curriculum to ensure the thoroughness of each program.

If you’re looking for plenty of hands-on learning, you have come to the right place. At the Paragon School, we groom 150 to 200 pets per week. You will be at the center of it all in our highly-structured training environment, learning from our seasoned trainers.

Our instructors are simply the best. As a student, you will benefit from the individual attention of these knowledgeable and dynamic animal enthusiasts. Over the years, the placement rate for Paragon graduates consistently ranges between 94-96%. In fact, most gradates have jobs well before they even complete their studies at Paragon.
