Association

We all work together to give each member every possible medium to increase their knowledge, to broaden their field of opportunity, and to better themselves and their business potential. We work to facilitate social and educational guidance and support from peers and fellow professionals.

We offer camaraderie, support and networking whenever needed. We firmly believe in giving all that we can to members in order to grow and be a positive asset to the grooming industry; and thus raising the bar of professionalism, safety and client care throughout our state.

As a group, we strongly believe that education is the key not only to success, but also to change.
Challenges improve our ability and our confidence. Respect among peers gives us all a common platform on which to work for the upstanding ethics and professional ideals of all pet stylists.

The resources and knowledge that each individual can bring to the table and share with others is invaluable, and through that networking, the opportunity for personal and professional growth is immense. Without our members, we could not exist, and our members' needs and interests are at the heart of every part of our association.
