"My schooling here at Paragon has been nothing short of sheer excellence. I am very impressed with the overall quality of the school and the instructors. I have made a lot of new friends and gained extensive knowledge. I will miss everyone very much!
The Instructors overall were great. I wish I lived closer so I could learn more. I will take my experiences from Paragon everywhere I go! Hopefully I will see you all in a few years for my Master training! Wish me luck!"

"The whole staff was very easy to get along with. They made it easy to ask questions without making you feel stupid if you asked too many. Their comments were constructive and not demeaning. I really enjoyed my time here."

"Attending this school had reaffirmed my choice of careers. I have felt at home here and, I hope, have made some life long friends. The time spent here has not be long enough. With all that I have learned here, I leave wanting, no, needing to learn more. Thank you all for your patience, your guidance, your instruction and your friendship. I will miss you all."

"I felt that the training was excellent. The Instructors really worked with me and showed me the correct way to do things. I had five different thoughts on how to do the same thing. So it is easier for me to find out what methods would work best for me. Overall I think it was a great experience. Thank you for teaching me so much in so little time."

"I've learned lots. I love it here! I have learned lots of new techniques; my scissoring skills have grown. Also, not only have we learned grooming skills, but the whys and how things are done. I have also gotten better with breed recognition and AKC standards which is great. Best of all the instructors are wonderful. We could not have done any of this without them! I will miss them all!"
