Pet grooming 

MCC is proud to introduce an innovative new Professional Dog Grooming course, powered by Groom Curriculum and designed to prepare students for success in the rapidly growing pet care industry. This comprehensive program combines hands-on technical training with real-world experience, giving students the skills and confidence needed to pursue a rewarding career in professional grooming.

The training aligns with the American Kennel Club’s (AKC) Professional Groomer Credential (PGC), providing students with a pathway toward a nationally recognized credential that demonstrates both technical proficiency and practical grooming experience. Through rigorous AKC testing, the PGC validates a groomer’s ability to meet professional standards. In addition, Groom Curriculum helps students develop a professional grooming portfolio that showcases their skills and experience—providing an important advantage as they enter the workforce.

Beyond grooming techniques, MCC’s program emphasizes the professional and client-facing skills that are essential to success in a salon environment. Students will develop effective communication and customer-service skills while learning how to understand and meet client expectations. They will also master the eight most common professional grooms performed in salons, ensuring they are prepared to provide quality results and confidently serve clients from day one.

Whether you’re looking to launch a new career, turn your passion for dogs into a profession, or build the skills needed to enter the growing pet care industry, MCC’s Professional Dog Grooming course provides the training and hands-on experience to help you get started.
