Christy Neighbour- Bellevue , Washington, USA (Class of 1988-ICMG of NDGAA)
"I want to thank you with all my heart for teaching me, giving me a solid foundation
in grooming skills...There is not a day that goes by ...when I am grooming, I hear your advice in
my head. I will treasure and cherish the knowledge you have given me and use it to the best of
my abilities. There are no words to express my gratitude to you for taking me as your student in
November 1998. I am very proud to have been a student of yours.....In the meantime, I am
studying for the Master's written exam which I hope to sit for in the near future.​​
n this 4 months with Dog Care, I learnt a lot! Not only about dog grooming, but also how to handle different dogs. Some dogs can be difficult to handle, but Mr Kim Soon has such patience and deep passion in grooming. He taught me how to handle it without stressing the dog out!I am glad I choose Dog Care, the people that are there were very nice and helpful. I will not hesitate to recommend any of my firends to come to study with Dog Care!!" ​

​​Daniele Sorrenstam- Holland (Class of 1996)
Well ...no problem at all! I have had a great time and learnt a lot. Everybody
can communicate with each other and there were girls from the Philippines,
Indonesia, Hong Kong and China. Very international, so real nice! For me, it was
the best 4 months in Singapore!! So I can recommend Dog Care as a good
international grooming school. Thank you very much.."Because I am from Holland,
my first thought was, can I do a course in English?

​Thank you for making my dream of owning a pet grooming/spa come true. My
business is growing quickly. Had so much fun learning and everyday a new
experience there. Thank you for teaching me to setup and manage salon and

Mrs. Claire N.Gardner, Melborne, Australia (Class of 2009)
"Although I had some pet grooming experience before coming to Singapore,
I'm so glad to have learnt so much more in DogCare.
With my Professional All Breed Pet Groomers Certification, I found a grooming job
almost immediately with a popular salon and was thrilled that I could groom
competantly and finished up all the alotted pooches on a busy day. I plan to start my
own grooming business after 2 months experience and carefully deciding on the
location, location, location.. Miss you guys so much" ​

Miraflor C. Delima, Owner of VIPets Spa & Hotel, Cebu, Phillipines (Class of 2005)
“I am glad that I made the right decision by training with Dog Care Academy to acquire a solid grounding in pet grooming. Unlike other pet grooming schools in Singapore who offer in-house certs, Dog Care Academy certified me with a jointly issued CCCA (USA) recognized All- Breed Professional Pet Grooming diploma.Additionally, I am encouraged to further pursue post graduate courses in the USA, organized by Dog Care Singapore. I hope to apprentice for my Master's program in the near future. I have since started my own VIPets Spa & Hotel with professional grooming under one roof . It's the first of its kind in Cebu, Philippines. Thanks to the passionate instructors for making this experience so fulfilling!

M.M MADURANGA, 6Z28,Mao Tse Tung Blvd, Phnom Penh, Cambodia (Class 0f 2008)
Owner of ‘The Groomer Guy’ Salon
“I trained 2 months at Dog Care from June 1st 2008. They taught many
different things very well. They were very friendly and nice people also, which was
so important because I was there six days a week! I was able to experience grooming
with many different breeds of dogs. I feel that my one month in Singapore went past quickly
because every day I was very busy with my training. The teachers patiently taught me how
to use clippers with different blades, different snap on combs,curved scissors, straight
scissors, nail cutting, bathings, blow drying, ear cleaning, brushing and combing. So, I feel
very well prepared and hope to open my own grooming business in Cambodia with my
CAAA (USA) qualification. I think that DogCare Singapore is the best place to train"!
Valentina De Feo- Italy, Workplace- Posh Pups London, UK & Pet Pavillion, Italy (Class of 2012)
"I was having a really bad time in Singapore after a school experience that went
completely wrong. I was about to give up and go back to Italy when I discovered about
the DogCare Pet Grooming Academy. I always loved animals and I thought:
"why dont give it a try?".So I did it and now I'm sure it's the best choice I've ever made!
At DogCare you are taught by professionals. They teach you all the techniques and
skills you need to have to become a Professional Pet Groomer and the best part is that
everything is done in a very healthy and friendly environment, where love, respect and
passion for animals are the key points of the training. You also get to know lots of people
from different countries and language is not a problem as English is perfectly spoken by
everyone! Im really happy and satisfied about the overall experience and I would surely do
it again! I will never thank you enough for what you have done,
you own a special place in my heart. Thank you!! Valentina, Italy"

I’m a lover of dogs and always wanted to groom professionally. So
I decided to train with DogCare/ CAAA, which turned out to be life
changing and a blessing!. I returned to India, planning to open
my own salon but one day, the Academy’s principal forwarded me a
job offer from Auckland N.Z. I applied and lo and behold, I got the job!
All the dogs here are angels and so rewarding to groom. I can’t thank
you guys enough at DogCare for this great ​outcome, Auckland is such
a great place to live & work...so happy! I'm so proud to be a holder of
DogCare/ CAAA certification because it's genuinely recognized
internationally. My gratitude to you, my dedicated teachers
