“One of the best decision I made was to go to Danny at Academy@Alpha to carry out my training in 2008 not only did I learn the skills necessary for dog grooming I was involved in the hands on day to day running of the salon which gave me the confidence and determination to set up my own salon, Danny was excellent trainer with an emphasis on detail,I would highly recommended Danny for anyone interested in Dog Grooming.” “I trained with Danny back in 2007 and can safely say it was the best decision I have ever made.I completed my course in July and opened my own salon that November next year will be my 10 year anniversary and I’m so glad I got the opportunity to train with Danny and see the every day running of an actual salon which helped me go it alone. I really couldn’t recommend Danny Pettigrew enough to anyone serious about becoming a dog groomer.” “I completed a grooming courses with Danny in Academy@Alpha in 2008 from the moment I walked in the door I knew I was going to love my new career choice.I found the course to be very informative,hands on and most of all enjoyable,I then went on to open my own salon which has been very successful, I highly recommend the course at Academy@Alpha.”
