"I have obtained, to date, forty customers with only a small
sign in my yard and no other advertisement. These customers have
been very satisfied and some have scheduled for the future. I am
excited for what spring may hold once my advertising has been
circulated. Thanks to your grooming program I feel very comfortable
and confident in what I am doing. I commend you on creating such a
thorough and educational series. Thanks again!"

helpful as your manual and videos are. Without them I would still be
stuck doing a job I did not like. I love dog grooming and plan to
open a shop someday."

"I am occasionally working with the groomer in town and am
grooming dogs at home when I have the opportunity. I really enjoy
working with the dogs and after I graduate from our home-school this
year I plan to continue grooming at home and may decide to open a
shop in the near future. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with you
through your materials and will highly recommend it to others
interested in the trade."

"Since you don't know me (personally) I will give you a little
data. As you know, people differ. It seems I am more critical than
most. Maybe I am overly critical and expect too much when it comes
to courses. I have been VERY pleased with your course! And I don't
even see any room for improvement! And this is a statement that
seldom passes my lips. The videos are terrific. Good instruction
verbally, good shots with video camera. Packed with information, no
'dead' time with fillers of un-important verbiage. Camera shots get
right in there, so you see a close up of what is going on. I feel
they couldn't be better! The manual: also great. And the open book
'tests' that were devised are very thorough. Very impressed with
that also. The concern of spending the amount on the package...I am
glad it is the price it is, yet I can honestly say...after seeing
it...it could be double the price and I would still think it not too
high for what is received. The only thing I could not tell
yet...was...would this lady really answer my questions once she had
my money? I soon found out, yes...she will! She was willing to
answer all of my questions...even those that were not a part of the
material I purchased. That is very rare! Thank You for a job well
done."

"Thank you (for comments on pictures of practice dogs groomed).
Those pictures are some of the first dogs that I and a friend had
done. Of course, I have gotten a lot better. I like doing this and
it is great hours and the customers NEVER complain. The owners of
the dogs that I have done have had nothing but high praise for what
I do and I owe it to your program for all that I have learned. It
was easy, simple and fun. I love doing the dogs and you deal with so
many personalities and it is wonderful! I have been told that I am
better than the other grooming shops and some have been here for
more than 10 years. Thanks again."

"Your manual and videos are so professional! I am a Techie for
Packard Bell and you are a natural For Technical writing...I should
know. I sent for your package in June and I'm just getting in to it
for serious study. Had to tell you how great it is put together and
how happy I am with your product. I am going to purchase a 2 man
shop from a guy who wants to retire. This will take place in Oct. I
don't want to miss this opportunity and you are making this all
possible. Thanks again."

"Just want to let you know your customer skills had a big part in
my decision to go with your training package. Your qualifications
came from an excellent source as well. Just wanted to let you know,
if I haven't already, I work in the Human Resources Dept. of our
local hospital and customer service of utmost importance. So,
needless to say, this is what I am aware of. Keep up the good work!"
Elaine W.

"I just want to Thank You for taking the time to write and make
the videos on this amazing topic-Grooming! My passion is animals and
I have searched around my area to find someone who would be willing
to teach me to groom. No one would help. Some, because of lack of
time. Others, because they didn't want the competition. Some were
just plain rude! I have eight dogs myself, some for breeding and
some for pets. But I love all of them. You're actually helping me
achieve my goals and dreams (to work with animals). Thank you."
Erica M.

"The main reason I started this was to learn about the business
end of grooming. I already have several years experience grooming
dogs, but was not sure how to get started on my own. Thanks for
giving me the confidence. Your manual answered all of my questions.
I want to say that the videos were great and I learned a lot from
them and the book. Your program was easy to follow. Thank you."
Suzanne C.

"Please let me state that I am very excited about this new
venture! I am very happy I chose this package. I can't state enough
how much this manual has taught me. It is laid out in such a manner
that made it so easy to go through, yet I was able to retain what I
learned. It is very thorough. It gave me detailed information
without being overwhelming. Thank you!"
Janet R.
New York
"We found your package very informative. It was the perfect
solution for us, for neither of us had the time to go away to
school, plus having the videos we could review whenever we needed
to. After our first month we invested in a stand dryer. Money well
spent. We learned very quickly, as you stated in your video, time is
money and drying is very time consuming. At this time most of our
customers have come from referrals from satisfied customers plus we
have put a notice in the newspaper announcing our new business. I
want to thank you very much for this package, as it has enabled my
sister and I to pursue a satisfying venture together."

"Your package was wonderful and has helped turn my life around. I
am now
the proud owner of a very successful dog grooming salon called
'Puddles
'n Paws' out here in Southeastern Idaho. My clientele is already
huge and I am constantly receiving praise and compliments on my
work. The training was quick, easy to understand and very thorough,
and I especially appreciated the videos. So, thank you so very much.
You have helped me fulfill dreams and taught me so much."

P.S. Your commercial recommendations were wonderful, thank you
for the
references.
"I want to thank you for your program. I was working full time
when I ordered the materials and now I am working part time and
grooming dogs part time. Soon I will be grooming full time thanks to
you! There would have been no other way for me to continue working
and learn to groom. I could not afford to take off work for grooming
classes. Thank you so much!"

"That you so much for the wonderful training package. I am a
graduate of XXXX School of Dog Grooming. I graduated in 1999, but
there were a few things that I feel they did not go over enough or
at all. When I graduated I practiced on dogs for about a year and
then decided to open my own business out of my home. My dream was to
have a full time salon, but I am was so nervous. Then I found your
package and was so excited. It was so informative and so much fun. I
have learned so much from it and would recommend it to anyone who is
interested in dog grooming. It gave me the confidence I needed to
fulfill my dream. In March 'The Pampered Pooch' is moving to a store
front and I am thrilled. Thank You so much."
Nicole A.

"I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for the very
informative schooling. I was surprised with the videos and book not
to mention the email help! I believe and hope I'm on my way to do
something that I really enjoy. I know that I would not be able to do
it any other way. The video that showed the spaniel getting dematted
helped very much! I wouldn't of been able to attempt to do that dog
without it. The owner was very happy with the results and I believe
the dog was too. Thanks so
much again...."
Lynn A.

"Your materials have been truly wonderful, and has helped me
greatly in my pursuit of working with dogs. I am a nurse, and have
recently cut back to part time hours because of word of mouth on my
grooming abilities. I could never have done this without your
material. Thanks so much."
Earl D.

"Your manual has taught me so much. I have groomed Schnauzers for
about 10 years and now I have been given the confidence to expand
and do other breeds. I have opened my own shop in the small country
town of Raymond. Business is great and I have had lots of positive
responses. The first cock-a-poo I groomed...the lady came back in
the shop the next week and told me that was the best the dog had
ever been groomed. I was shocked. I love it and all the pets. I did
36 dogs my first week! I have flyers and business cards around town.
I have gotten support from 3 vets in referring customers to me. All
the other programs I checked into were so much more expensive. I
really got my money's worth with yours. Thanks for your help with my
new career."
Susan M.

"First I want to thank you for allowing me to move on to my own
business, after working as a dental assistant for 20 years. It's so
nice to be my own boss. I make my own hours, days and vacations! My
business is doing very well. I have a salon right next to my home. I
live out in the country and am so surprised on how far people will
travel to have their pets groomed. My vet, that I've gone to for
years no longer does grooming, so he has been kind enough to send me
his clients. What luck! Thank you again."

"Upon receiving this packet I had been grooming for approximately
six months. I have now been grooming for over a year. I have had a
wonderful time and have been working with wonderful clients. I have
had no complaints and a tremendous amount of work. I now have weekly
and monthly dogs that I do. I quickly made enough to cover my
supplies and the cost of your package. It was a joy studying under
you. Thanks again. "

me this year. My business is really taking off and I'm enjoying it
so much. Wishing you the happiest of holidays, and again Thanks...."
Marilyn M.
Happy Tails, Nevada
"I have been up and running for about 8 months now and have
already about 60 clients. I am getting new calls every month! This
has always been my dream and I couldn't have done it without you. I
just wanted you to know that I belong to several groomers lists.
Most of the time people say there is no way to learn without going
to school. I was beginning to get a complex because of all the
negative statements about distance learning. Well, I made a friend
who has groomed for 30 years. He said that I do an excellent job and
that he has tried to train groomers out of school who have horrible
habits and miss part of the groom, etc. He was really asking
questions about your program then. He thought it was quality
teaching! So, it gave my self esteem a boost too! Thanks again...."
Amy C.
Amy's Pooch Parlor, Illinois
"I want to thank you so much for the materials that you
offer...it was the best way for me to learn and your techniques are
easy to follow. I have to be honest...my husband said there is NO
WAY that you can learn to groom dogs from something you found on the
internet...he does not say that now! He watched some of the tapes
and was very impressed! I have been grooming for over a year now
(full time) and it looks like I will double my income for the next
year! I must tell you this...a couple with a Maltese were trying to
find a new groomer. They came to me and I didn't see them for a
couple of months, so I figured they were not happy with me. They
came back and said they had tried all the shops in the area and that
I was the 'winner'...made me feel so good. I do this dog every 2
weeks now. Thanks again."
Marcy D.

"I'm glad I chose you to learn all about dog grooming. I found it
very knowledgeable. You did a great job with the tapes and book.
Thanks...."

"Just a few lines to thank you for your very informative 'All
About Dog Grooming' packet. I can't tell you how invaluable it has
become to me. I study your videos constantly. Each time I view them,
I learn something new that I didn't notice, or pay attention to
previously. Your step-by-step check list is a life saver. I always
review your video prior to grooming a dog-even if it is the same
breed I groomed a few days ago. I have used many of your suggestions
in your Business Strategies with success. During my hands-on
training time I have been terribly concerned about my finished
product, but everyone insists on paying me and they have been
bringing their dogs back for regular grooming. Thanks!"

You could easily be getting similar results. You see, these
people quoted above started out just like you... very determined to
learn this valuable trade, but with limited means to receive
training following the typical schooling methods. The difference
between these successful individuals and yourself is that they took
a critical step. They went through the program and began applying
the simple training and marketing techniques to begin making a
difference in their lives. They are on their way to a new career
doing something they enjoy... and they are earning Great Money
too!
