Petsmart groomer training reviews. Petsmart has a really bad name and that makes it incredibly hard to work with. It makes work a lot easier. Most managers do not understand canine behavior or what actually happens in a pet training class. The dogs are the best part of working at petsmart.

I enjoy coming to work and having one on one time with my favorite animals. I was there for close to five years as leadership turned over on a company level the care for employees drastically decreased. Trainers are required to meet sales quotas. Flexible scheduling ability to progress and advance in the grooming salon if you re good with animals and pets if you have a good team it s a good work environment.

As a groomer you get really good benefits. There is lots of room for advancement they will push anyone through to their grooming school. Our first experience remy and i signed up for petsmart s intermediate training since he already had a handle on the basics like sit lie down wait and basic recall. Trainers are treated like utilitarian employees and often cannot perform pet training tasks because the stores are intentionally short staffed at the direction of the corporate office.

As a key part of that effort petsmart formed an independent review board to conduct a comprehensive unbiased review of the company s existing grooming training practices and grooming standards the results of which would help inform changes to petsmart s groomer curriculum and create a safer grooming environment for pets and groomers. People will assume you abuse dogs. I like that we aren t allowed to take aggressive pets.
