The increase in pet ownership is spurring demand for pet grooming and boarding services. In fact, 65 percent of U.S. households own a pet, which equates to 79.7 million homes, according to the 2015-2016 American Pet Products Association (APPA) National Pet Owners Survey. It’s estimated that pet owners will spend more than $4.84 billion on pet services in 2016, which includes grooming and boarding for their four-legged friends. To date, ABC has certified and graduated 1,670 professional groomers through its pet grooming program.
In addition to pet groomer certification, ABC offers certification through its Dog Obedience Program (DOP) and Veterinary Assistant Program (VAP). The school also offers a variety of timely ISPs (individual study programs) on subjects such as cat management and training, pet nutrition, pet massage, pet sitting and training shelter dogs.
