Grooming School

The Pet Salon Academy

The Pet Salon Academy is a grooming school that takes place at a full service pet salon with over 8,000 active clients. Our President and Lead Instructor, Donna Williams, has 25 years of grooming experience and believes that all students must have a desire to pursue a high quality of grooming skills, while maintaining the highest level of safety and care for each dog. All students are trained and guided using a hands-on training approach, which she believes, is the most efficient way for each student to have the skill and confidence to immediately begin a career as a professional groomer or business owner. Training classes are held at The Dog House Pet Salon, which has two locations: 5917 Richmond Ave, Houston, TX 77057 and 6434 Washington Ave, Houston, TX 77007.

The Pet Salon Academy offers 3 types of training programs: The PET BATHER, THE BASIC AND THE PET GROOMER.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS

ARE SAYING?

…

I’ve been to groomers all over Houston because I have a standard poodle. When I found this place I was sad that it’s not closer to my house. However, it’s worth the drive.

After a tour of your facility, we decided to entrust our little girl, Meka, to your care. That turned out to be a very good decision!
Maureen E.
I absolutely LOVE this place/staff/experience! ? They were so kind to me and my furbaby. My 16.5 yr old Shih Tzu looks like the Prince he was meant to be. Great job and I can’t wait to being him back
Heidi S.
Best place to bring your pup for grooming and daycare. Friendly staff, Wonderful owner. Zaza comes home drained after running around all day with her buddies.
