What You Will Learn

At The Neon Dragon Academy, we focus on teaching one core, in-demand pet trim that’s easy to adapt to any breed—giving students a strong, realistic foundation in dog grooming. We teach this haircut to industry standards, emphasizing clean lines, proper prep, and safe handling, so students graduate with salon-ready skills. The program runs for three months and is crammed with hands-on learning, from bathing and brushing to scissoring and styling. While the focus is on mastering the core trim, students also get the chance to work on various coat types and breed-specific patterns as they come in. We also help students think through basic business planning—whether they want to run their own shop someday or just better understand the industry. With supportive instructors, real dogs, and no fluff (unless it’s on a poodle), we train future groomers to be confident, capable, and job-ready.

Lifetime Coaching

The Neon Dragon Grooming Academy provides its members with an exclusive and invaluable perk - private access to ongoing support through a dedicated Facebook group. This unique group serves as a collaborative space where grooming academy students, peers, and experienced coaches converge to extend mutual aid, guidance, and a platform for continued learning.

The Facebook group essentially acts as a secure, members-only community, fostering a supportive environment for students to interact with each other and their mentors. Here's how it works:

Peer Support and Collaboration: Members can engage with their peers, sharing experiences, insights, and troubleshooting grooming challenges. It's a network of like-minded individuals, where students can ask questions, offer advice, and celebrate successes.
Expert Guidance: Coaches, being seasoned professionals in grooming, actively participate in the group, offering their expertise, feedback, and guidance. This provides students with direct access to professionals who can answer queries and provide mentorship.
Ongoing Learning: The group serves as an extension of the academy, providing a continuous learning environment beyond formal lessons. Members can share resources, discuss new techniques, and stay updated on industry trends or new tools in the grooming world.
Exclusive Resources: Access to exclusive content, such as live Q&A sessions, tutorial videos, or articles, which are tailored to the group's interests and needs.
Networking Opportunities: It's a fantastic platform for networking. Members can build relationships, potentially leading to collaborations, job opportunities, or simply connecting with fellow enthusiasts in the grooming industry.

This private Facebook group acts as a comprehensive support system, catering to the needs of the grooming academy's students even after their formal training ends. It's a dynamic space where knowledge, experiences, and camaraderie flourish, ensuring that the learning journey continues and remains enriched.
