Our training is individualized, independent study, not classes. Students may start any day that is mutually agreeable.  We have room for a maximum of twelve students, so as to give them good personal attention, so early registration and reservation of space is advised. Each individual attends classes for 12 weeks, five days a week, Monday through Friday.  School hours are from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm , totaling 480 clock hours.  You are allowed one-half hour for lunch break.  Lunch is not a scheduled time.  If you are grooming a dog, you need to finish that dog before you take your lunch break.  Lunch can be taken between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm .
