This isn’t about checking a box or joining a club.
The Membership is about stepping into a community of leaders who actually get it.
You’re not like the rest of the industry—and you shouldn’t be treated like you are.
Here, you’re going to be surrounded by other academy owners who are building, pushing, challenging, and growing right alongside you.
You belong with the ones who raise the standard—not tiptoe around it.
So if you're ready to lead with purpose, this is your next move.
If You’re Training the Next Generation—Train Them Right.
For academy owners who want to lead—not follow.
You’re not just teaching students how to groom. You’re shaping the future of this industry—and if you're serious about standards, education, and real outcomes, then it's time to align with a membership that matches your mission.
This membership is for school owners and program directors who are ready to raise the bar for their curriculum, gain national recognition, and (coming soon) offer certification pathways through IAPEG for qualified students.
Why Partnering with Us Matters
You’re running a school—not a one-person circus. And let’s be honest—you can’t teach everything alone. That’s where we come in.
At IAPEG, we work hand in hand with grooming academies because we know true education takes a village—and a damn good curriculum.
By teaming up with us and The Whole Pet Grooming Academy, your school gains access to resources, certifications, and industry credibility that most programs can only dream of.
You’re not just raising groomers—you’re building professionals.
And now, you don’t have to do it alone.
