Become a qualified dog groomer through our accredited iPET Network programmes. Whether you’re starting from scratch or preparing to open your own salon, our academy delivers real-world training inside a fully operational grooming environment. We combine hands-on experience with structured learning so you gain confidence, capability, and industry-ready skills from day one. And when you graduate, our ongoing support ensures your career continues to grow long after the certificate is in your hand
✂️Grooming✂️
We provide full professional grooming services for all breeds within our academy salon. Every groom is carried out to industry-leading welfare standards by our experienced team, with students observing or assisting under supervision depending on their progress. When you book with us, you’re not just choosing expert grooming — you’re supporting a CIC. Your dog’s groom helps create training opportunities and funds community initiatives across Liverpool.
🐾Community🐾
As a Community Interest Company, our mission extends beyond education. We reinvest into the people and pets of Liverpool through our pet food bank, outreach grooming projects, and accessible training pathways. We support families facing financial hardship and help local residents build employable skills. The academy isn’t just a place to learn — it’s a community hub where support, growth, and opportunity come together.
