I chose LaBest Academy of Animal Arts as an educational tool to
kick start my career as a salon owner / pet groomer. I researched
several pet grooming schools over the internet and LaBest offered
everything I was looking for. As a future first-time business owner, I
was looking for a facility that could not only train me as a pet stylist,
but that could also assist me in setting up my business as well.
LaBest’s program also offered a few extra perks that I just couldn’t
pass up!! The program included training and certification as a
Dermatech Specialist and one-on –one instruction from one of the
best animal behavioral specialist in the nation.
One of my goals is to be able to educate my clients on the
importance of constant care of their pets and be able to advise them
of ways to keep their pet healthier and happier for years to come. I
believe our pets deserve all the love we can give them and what
better way to show that love than to give them quality of life.
After touring LaBest’s facility, I knew their goals were a match to
mine! It’s all about the animals at LaBest and as a pet owner; I can
tell you that if you find that quality in a pet care facility it’s RARE!!
I’m excited about my future as a pet stylist and I know I’m getting
the most well rounded education offered in the pet styling industry.
Do your homework…. And you’ll choose LaBest too!!!

Student Testimonials |
| For as long as I can remember, I have loved dogs and don’t know how I could have made it through my life’s greatest crisis’s or celebrated my greatest triumphs without my four-legged best friends. As I grew up and became an adult, I tried to walk in paths without my dogs- I studied to become a teacher and a respiratory therapist, but I was not happy. During this time I was working part time at a doggie daycare. The beautiful work the groomer did drew me to the grooming room. Being a great admirer of her work, I began watching and then helping her bathe so that she would impart to me little jewels of knowledge, how a dog’s utility, however ancient, affected the bone structure or how and why of pulling hair from ears. And when she brought her show Norwich terrier in and showed me how the simple act of removing hair could sculpt beautiful muscles and make a dog into a work of art. I knew that pet styling is what I wanted to do. When she and I parted ways, I told her I would become a groomer. I tried to accomplish this by working in a chain grooming facility, but they taught me nothing of the beauty of styling, and the stylist seemed frustrated and unhappy. I began to research grooming schools and visited several, only to be disappointed. I found a message board full of seasoned groomers and asked, and boy did they answer. The answer was a resounding “Go to Deborah Walker and LaBest” When I visited, I saw that patient, loving beauty of pet styling that I had fallen in love with and knew that Debbie’s expertise would help me reach my goals and discover new ones. I can’t wait to graduate and begin working as a stylist. In the future, I would like to specialize in terriers and cat grooming, open my own pet spa, and become active in showing and grooming show dogs. Maybe even compete in grooming- the sky’ s the limit with my LaBest education. Sincerely, Tasha Callas |
