I took both my big babies to get groomed here. A large standard poodle and an even larger bernedoodle. I was very pleased with the way they were trimmed. They took the time to listen to what I wanted done and addressed any concerns I might have had. I will definitely be taking them there again.

I took my huge Golden Retriever there to be groomed. They did an excellent job! I was very pleased when I picked him up. They are definitely getting the best training, because Max looked so much better with the students there taking care of him! Thank you! I’ll be bringing him back!

10/10 recommended, they are very nice, very responsible, i have been taking my dog here for 5 years. she loves it there and feels very comfortable and safe there. She gets very excited when we take her. They have affordable prices and do a very good job.

Highly recommended for grooming your pup(s), and also to earn your grooming certification. Adamaris and Limaris are groomers and instructors(very knowledgeable in the field)! Even After earning my certification 4 years ago, I can still count on them for advice and support. Thanks to Dog Groomer Academy, I accomplished my dreams of having my very own grooming, boarding, and daycare business.

My experience during my time at the dog groomer academy was excellent. Limaris and Adamaris as educators are spectacular. They clarified all my doubts from the beginning they taught me from how to handle a dog to trust the work I can do as a groomer. Dog groomer academy besides being a school they are a family. I am very proud to be able to say that I am a dog groomer thanks to the dog groomer academy ❤️

Words cant express how grateful and proud I am to be a graduate from here. Ive been on my own, making my own schedule, being my own boss. This place has mold me into the PROFESSIONAL groomer I am today. My experience here as a student was beyond expectations. If you have been thinking of becoming a groomer all I have to say is DO IT AND DO IT NOW!

I had a great experience in this place. They are very professional. Adamaris and Limaris always made me feel at home, also they treat dogs very well and with lots of love. Thanks to them, today I can say that I am a person prepared for the Pet grooming industry, and Im doing very well in this field where I’m still working. Thank you very much for everything. I 100% recommend this place if you want to learn fast and start in the Pet Grooming business. In the other hand, if you are planning in taking your dog to this place for the grooming service, I also recommend it 100%, since the instructors are always supervising the work in the academy, and students take the necessary time and patience to groom your pet, because they’ll have all day to focus only on your pet. Thanks for everything Dog Groomer Academy ❤️ 🙏

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!! I Graduated from Dog Groomer Academy today they are great people who do alot of great things.Trust me when I say you are hands on learn the entire time your there. They really do become like family. I definitely would recommend everyone to got here. Its also alot of fun there.

BEST GROOMERS/INSTRUCTORS IN CENTRAL FLORIDA! Adamaris teaches above & beyond every step of the way from hands-on grooming to opening your business. In grooming we learned from bathing, drying, handling, scissors & so much more. They teach you how to handle each kind of breed & temperaments. DONT WAIT CALL NOW THANK ME LATER 💕

So, I brought my toy poodle here and I always do. All the time I get the students to groom my dog because they are learning so I assume they will have more patience while learning which they seem to do for the past few visits. But today I decided to get the “professional” to do it because no students were available: BIG MISTAKE! My dog came back with the most uneven hair where most of it was cut bald to the skin. The groomer said “she bit me!”, well you’re the “professional” and I’m sorry but it’s the nature of the job. I spent $60 for the most unprofessional and laziest job ever done on my dog. As a professional myself, if i see that my job was hard or I could not do my job properly I admit to it and I charge half the price (not that I don’t want to pay but because she did a horrible job!) The students do a MUCH better job at this than the “professional” and you can tell that this bad job was due to impatience. My dog shakes whenever I bring her here because she knows she is going to have a rough day because these ppl treat them like groceries on a conveyor belt instead of being warm and compassionate, patient, and reassuring to the dog. You can tell that a lot is going on in there: high paced business with the need to collect money than the desire to be professionals and teach students how to be professionals. From now on I’ll keep brushing my dogs hair, trim her lightly and deal with her grooming myself because I can’t deal with ppl treating animals like luggage on a carousel or groceries on a conveyor belt.Unless your dog is receptive to grooming I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU BRING THEM HERE. IM UPSET!!The 4 and 5 star reviews you are seeing are for ppl whose dogs don’t mind being groomed or whose dogs don’t have hair that is difficult to groom and I’m not lying. A true professional is able to groom ANY dogs hair evenly even if the dig is difficult. Most bad reviews here tell you that the dogs are unevenly cut and that is THE TRUTH.My dog should have bitten out her face and made it uneven.

Dog groomer Academy is more than a school, It’s Family!! They helped me to create a brighter future for myself & my family!! They also treat all the dogs with nothing but love and respect! I love dog grooming academy & highly recommend!! 😘

100% recommended!! Gleniris is amazingGreat services ❤️❤️❤️

The Dog Groomers Academy was absolutely amazing. Can I just say. As as you go through life and imagine and think about what to do and what youre soul leads you to do you can leave a mark let all the ones that you look up to and who look up to you that out there is not just a job its a passion is something you love and compassion something you can pass on like an heirloom to your family brothers sisters grandchildren whatever race color great or small attending that dog groomers Academy was a most wonderful thing Ive ever done for myself thank u Lumariis my teacher and her daughter Adamaris my teacher as well and God bless

From the moment I walked in it was very unprofessional. The girl I had made the appointment on the phone with claimed that my dog didn’t have an appointment 🤦‍♀️ when she clearly forgot to write it down. Then with an attitude she tells me “fine we can do her grooming”.. she was so unprofessional and nasty I grabbed my dog and left. Bad experience to begin with, I didn’t feel comfortable leaving my pet

Clean professional completeInexpensive

I am writing this review based on my working relationship with DGA as one of their main Vendors/Distributor, Account Executives with PetEdge. I work directly with both Adamaris and Limaris for their Student Kits and other equipment when students request to purchase additional things for their new career. They order almost weekly with me and everything is BRAND NEW from our warehouse to their school. If something does not arrive as pictured or described, I am called very quickly to fix it, as they will not give something to their students that is not to their standards. With that being said, I too, have no problem replacing something that has arrived damaged or again, not the way described. I stand by our products and go by the school weekly, so I see first hand the multiple deliveries made to the school for the students. No student needs to worry about getting a kit that is not brand new in the box, I promise :) I take great pride in what I do and share that partnership with the school

What an amazing experience!!! I would totally recommend Dog groomer academy to anyone that crosses my path! Not only they can help you become a professional but they can also help you with your furry babies in many many ways!!!! 💙 me and my service dog will forever be greatful with all of them and their amazing work and professionalism.

Dog Groomer Academy had change my life. Studying at Dog Groomer Academy helped me tremendously to serve Dogs in many ways. It equipped me with learning tools that will last forever. The dedication and love for dogs it is something special in this place. My love for pets growth more and everyday when I look at my own pets eyes I remember many memories from the time when I was getting trained to become a groomer. I encourage anyone who want a change in their while doing something special, to study in this Academy that, by the way it is the ONLY DOG GROOMER ACADEMY LICENSE FOR THE FL DOE (FL Department of Education). I know that Limaris, founder and administrator, in her academy is making a difference in the life of many people who want to do something meaningful. I invite you to visit Dog Groomer Academy and start making a difference that will influence the life of others,specially our Dogs -Rosa

I can’t explain how wonderful Ms. Janet Jose was with my dog. He is very timid when he is around strangers....but he quickly warmed up to Janet. You can see that she has a profound love for animals. She gave him the best cut that’s he’s ever had. She made him into a new doggie!! When it was time to go—he gave her lots of kisses. The love and care she showed him was the absolute best. Can’t wait for her to do her magic again!!!

Great experience. My dog Samson is traumatized but they were able to clipped his nails. They are amazing. Thank you and we will be back.

Excellent service. Perfect timing. Very responsible. They do their best. I received a lot of tips about dogs. They do training, pet sitting, they have vet weekends. Lovely people. Thank you very much!!!

The first two visits were successful and we all appreciated the work done on our Dog. The third and last time we took our Dog, we found out from the owner that our dog was not treated by a professional groomer but instead a “Student”, an unexperienced person who was learning the art of grooming on my dog. I do not appreciate having a complete stranger grooming my dog without any type of experience. So here is the way I understand their business model:1. Bring your Dog2. A student, a person without any experience gets to learn on your dog while putting the Dog or Pet in Danger.3. Business owner profits or gets paid from walking customer and “Student” by putting your pet in someone else’s hands, who may endanger your Dog.I had no idea my Dog was being groomed by random strangers without experience. So this place scams people and they are not being honest by allowing pet owners to know that Dogs or pets are being used as “Test-Subjects” so other prospect groomers learn on your loved pet. I’m never risking my pets well-being at this place. And whoever groomed my Dog did a poor job and my dog looks really bad. I will take my dog somewhere else due to the lack of honesty and professionalism.

I took a leap of faith moving to Orlando for a few months to be apart of this school..and I am so glad I did! I took the 200 hour program, working Monday through Friday, 9 to 5. These ladies became family-like friends to me in a short period of time. They were always wanting and willing to help. The curriculum is thorough and well-thought-out. Their teaching is clear and relaxed..at no point did I feel pressured of grasping a new concept right away.. they were always very patient when I needed a reminding of something. You will have hands on learning from day one! I felt very ready, come time to graduation. Couldnt be a better school and salon! I will genuinely miss working with these girls!!

I went here in 2018 & I’m a year into grooming now I’m stilling having to learn from other groomers because they don’t TEACH you how to groom. A few students and I have been rejected from jobs related to grooming just because we went to this school some of the managers from places I interviewed at have told me “they let people go that come from this school” they are nice people but your better off learning from YouTube or working as a bather somewhere and having one of the groomers teach you because that’s what I’m doing.

After a friend recommended this local small biz, I took my dog Toby to see if they can give him a proper cut. Toby went in looking like a Poodle and came out looking like a proper Schnauzer! It was a little hard to find until I realized its behind Skate Reflections. Awesome! Will definitely be back.

Very satisfied with the experience, Janet Jose groomed my dog and did a fantastic job, she was very professional, patient and loving. My dog certainly appreciated! Definitely using her service in the future

I have recently finished the grooming program and I must have to say I am very pleased with the outcome of my experience. From day one everything was very hands-on and the instructors are very helpful, patient, and encouraging. Upon finished the course they will even lead you down the right path to a grooming job! I highly recommend if anyone is interested in taking learning this industry to check this school out.

The best groomers in town! Thank you for not only making our pups look gorgeous— but also for your philanthropy in helping the needy puppies and babies in Venezuela! Your support and kindness is an example for all small businesses to follow ❤️

Janet Jose is one of the most amazing groomer in Orlando her passion for animals specially for dogs goes beyond words* i currently have a havalier name Charlie* i am the type of person who is very picky when it comes to my little angel however I truly trust Janet Jose completely because i know the she will treat my little angel like he was her own pet* she did amazing job with Charlie haircut last month* she followed my instructions perfectly and her customer service goes beyond words as well* I truly highly recommend Janet Jose to anyone

The instructors are amazing and the courses are affordable and hands on. You can groom a dog from the first day your there and walk out after ten classes with a certified diploma! Its great experience with great people to share it with.

I was trying to keep things between us private, but due to recent comments brought to my attention stating I have not tried contacting you to obtain a refund, I have no other choice than to post my review of your business. To anyone thinking of enrolling in Dog Groomer Academy I advise you to not be scammed by these people. They are not properly licensed to be offering schooling in dog grooming. The certificate that they give you at the end of said course will not be accepted anywhere when applying for a job. Also in asking around they charge different prices for different people. Not sure how they decide what price to charge but they charged me $5,600 and another lady paid a little more than $4,000. However, it doesn’t matter how much they charge you, you still will not be taught anything. While I was enrolled in their program no class was ever held. We were given dogs on our first day and instructed to groom them, but never shown proper handling. Our only form of instruction was occasional YouTube videos played on a tv while we were grooming. You will be seeing the same dogs every week most of them only needing mini grooms. You will learn more from a book than what they are offering which is nothing. Also most of the equipment provided is not properly maintained and is broken. You will have basically paid them to work for free. Most of the days I was there they never got up from the desk or bothered to speak English. 90% of the day they talked back and forth to each other in Spanish. I have sent numerous emails (11 to be exact) and have received no response. I have copies of all these emails I will be attaching them below. I also have a voicemail from Adamaris stating the emails were received but no response via email like I have asked them to reply so I have copies for my records. So to say I have not contacted you to discuss a refund is false! I have also filed a complaint with the BBB and to date you have not responded to them regarding a refund either. My credit card company has also tried contacting you and they to have received no response. The main reason I am writing this is to make sure that other people don’t give their hard earned money to these people thinking they are going to be certified to be a dog groomer. Everyone should know what these people are doing and how they are conducting business. As of right now I know of three people that is not satisfied with this company, and that they have not received a refund for not being taught. I don’t want anyone else to have to go through what I have been put through. You don’t have to believe my story but I encourage anyone who is looking into giving these people money, to do their homework and you will find that these people aren’t licensed to teach a certification in dog grooming. Lastly through this process I have met some incredibly nice people and I have currently been interning with a very nice dog groomer, that is actually TEACHING ME how to be a dog groomer free of charge !

Janet Jose is one of the most greatest dog groomers ever she’s a real true passionate animal lover I highly recommended her to anyone

Janet Jose an amazing person whose truly passionate about animals especially dogs she groomed and cut my dogs nail with much love and compassion I highly recommend Janet jose

The BEST groomers I have ever met. I have 3 rescued pups, I have been through 6 groomers-- I finally found my groomer for life! We also hired them for training and now my babies know how to sit-down-heel and obey when we ask them to wait. Three rescues isnt easy specially when they are already adult, but thanks to Adamaris and the team we are lucky to have a groomer and trainer. And I have to say, I love how good my babies smell and the matching bandanas [insert heart emoji here] Thank you girls!

Limaris and her staff know how to treat their animals first and their customers second (in that order). They are priced fairly for what you would expect for a grooming salon. The salon itself smells clean and looks clean and it is decorated very nicely. This is a place for your pet to get pampered, and for you to feel like you paid a good value for excellent service.

Im new to the area so I took my dog here for the first time this week. They are a school yes but my dog got the worst groom shes ever gotten. I would think a 10 year old could trim a dog better and more evenly than they did.Whats worse is after complaining to the owner, she refused to take ownership of her students/employees poor job with my dog. She re-groomed my dog but she constantly said how her other groomer did nothing wrong. I will pass on going here again. Even if it is a little cheaper than other groomers.

DO NOT USE THIS PLACE!!! Took my Golden Retrievers there and found out they gave them something to calm them down without even asking first or telling me what the substance was they gave them.Then they asked me to drug my dogs before bringing them. The owner said they were problem dogs. I have 2 Golden Retriever and yes they get excited. But, this is a school so, shouldnt they be training their students to be able to handle all types of dogs. They have started pick and choosing what dogs they want to groom. Plus, the grooming services arent the best. Uneven nail clipping and they never did a complete groom. Also, they also over charged me by charging my bank account twice. The old lady who says she is the owner shouldnt be running ANY business!!!

Awesome place

I wish i could give lower star rating. I went there because it was cheaper then my normal groomer. If you love your dog do NOT take them here. They did not finish my dog and they cut him several times. Had to take him back to my regular groomer ,who fixed there mess up. His hair was not even ,nails not done properly. They do not know what they are doing at all. They where warned that my dog is a rescue and has issues with being trimmed around his face. but the did not listen so they,basically left him not finished. I also found out they did not even do his ears properly.It is necessary for my little shiztu .They also where basically rude when they did not listen to the fact he was a rescue and need tlc when doing his face. It so not worth being in there puppy club. DO NOT TAKE YOUR DOG HERE< GO ANYWHERE BUT HERE.

I love this place, the owner is so nice, the girls are so sweet, the dogs love it! The grooming is great, my dog comes out Happy!

Unique programs for dogs and pet lovers.Dog grooming and Dog Trainer Academy,the only in Florida,where your passion is convert in a successful career. Dog training school for dogs and a complete SPA package for your furry friends.

Thanks I have a good experience with you guys, great customer service los my baby girl looks fabulous!!!!! thanks God bless you all...

Thanks very professional. Be enchanted. A hug.

What do I think about Dog Groomer Academy?Dog Groomer Academy is not just a grooming school...once you start, you become part of a family. I get to meet the team, and spend time with them, and to be honest the love and passion they have for the dogs is really contagious.They guide and teach hands-on since day one, what a better way to learn!!! Practice makes perfection, right?They are right there...sometimes you are about to make a mistake, when they tell you...”be careful”....they always got your back...and honestly, if you want to be a groomer, they will help you!!My experience with Dog Groomer Academy is excellent! In a moment of desperation, they helped me get a Service Dog for my daughter, not only that, they are doing the training Pro-Bono, since they know I don’t have the means to pay for it.You see, a place that only think about your money, will never had a Professional Dog Trainer, Master Dog Trainer and Junior Dog Trainer; training a Service Dog at no cost, but they do!I will always be great full of Dog Groomer Academy, Limaris Sanchez, Adamaris Sanchez and Ilse M. Allende, and as I mentioned at the beginning, once you start attending Dog Groomer Academy, you become part of a family...a family that I am proud being part of!!Vanessa Oyola

The BEST School and the best groomers

Wow,these ladies really know Dogs !!! Its as if they have their own language. I have used them several times for training my dogs as well as myself.

Very devoted and caring people.I will definitely refer your company.

Best dog experience ever...

I can rate everything with a 100 💯 starting with the directives Mrs. Limaris I admire her as well as her work team for such excellent service I have had the pleasant opportunity to refer friends and family and they are more than satisfied and happy we love them very much our academy and no one with bad intentions will be able to tarnish the entire image of this great institution for our 4-legged children 🐾👏🏻

Excellent academy, the teachers are loving, attentive, very professional, they are always attentive to each student, they shake your hand even when you finish the course, a family is created there. The materials they give are of very good quality. They help us grow and that each one of us can achieve our dreams of being professionals. Dogs are given the love and attention that each one needs. I recommend this academy 100% both for the education side and for the service side of our pets. Lismarie and Adamaris thank you for always giving the 💯 with everyone.Now as a professional Dog Groomer at this academy, I can say that we work with all types of dogs, they are treated with love and we ensure the safety of the dog and the groomers, we do everything in our power so that the dog comes out as the customer asks for it. There are dogs that come into our hands all full of knots even very close to their skin and we do magic so that the dog comes out, clean, happy and as the owner requested. It is very important that if you have a dog you take it at least 2 times a month to the groomer so that the dog gets used to it, so that it does not get mads or knots, so that it is given the corresponding maintenance. In this way the dog will not bite the groomer since he will be used to it when we work it and more importantly that the dog has a comfortable service for him and leaves as the owner requested.

Happy and grateful to the dog groomer academy for their professionalism and good technique, they helped me make my dream come true, they are excellent for teaching us and giving us the confidence we need to learn and be professionals, thanks for your dedication and kindness 100% Recommended 🥰🤩

Dog Groomer Academy changed my life completely, I studied with them to be a groomer and I dont regret it at all ... now I have my Groomer, CPR and Pet Sitter courses. Even after graduating I know that I count on them and their support at all times. Thanks to them I have a job, the best job in the world and without a doubt Dog Groomer Academy is my family ❤️✨

I took my Yorkie Terrier to the Dog Groomer Academy and they gave him the full service at the hands of the professional stylist Yohanna Madrid, the service was excellent and it was spectacular I will be back in 4 weeks and I recommend this salon to my friends.

Spanish:At the beginning, before and when signing the contract, they are very kind and attentive. Then they stop serving with excellence.During our experience, our dog loved to come and play with all the employees (this showed us that he felt safe and happy) and then he began to be afraid and hid from all the employees.Multiple physical situations arose that affected our pet and the excuse was that it is a school and who works the pets are them (are they not supposed to be supervised at all times?).Our perspective and experience changed from excellent to lousy right away.Customer service must be essential anywhere and that is NOT the experience here.English:At the beginning, before and when signing the contract, the employees are very kind and attentive.

Excellent, super structured courses and very comfortable and clean physical facilities.

I recommend Janet Jose as a groomer not only in the professional part but also in the artistic part of the grooming, because this discipline is an art. I know Janet Jose for a long time and I have observed her work that is extraordinary.I recommend Janet Jose as a stylist of dogs not only in the professional part but also in the artistic part of grooming because this discipline is an art.

The best money that i spent in my life was the money that i paid for grooming class at the dog groomer academy. My teacher limaris and her daughter adamaris helped me to learn the skills to become a dog groomer. My teacher limaris also keep me motivate and even after my graduation i always can count with her support when i have any question.I love animals and become a dog groomer is my biggest dreams. I owe a deeply gratitude to my teachers Limaris and Adamaris because they helped me to make my dreams come true.The best money invested in my life was the money I paid to study dog ​​grooming at the dog groomer academy. My teacher limaris and adamaris helped me a lot to make my dream come true. One day when I didnt feel capable of cutting a puppys hair, my teacher Limaris told me I hope all the students had your passion, you can do it. His words and his trust in me gave me more strength to continue fighting to make my dream come true. I recommend this school to everyone who loves animals because there they learn the necessary techniques that allow you to make your dream come true.

Dog Groomer academy is an excellent school, very professional in what it does. Always aware of what one does, how to do it and correcting if it is good or not, and in the end they always help you get a job, while you are finding your own business. It is excellent ... I recommend it to all those interested in taking these classes, which is very difficult to get because there are none in the area. Very grateful pq in addition to teaching are very human people and love animals and care as if they were theirs. Love it! Thank you...!

Super recommended the best grooming experience ... very grateful for everything learned and the family found .. A hug
