“I am so grateful that I was able to study under Teri at the Academy of Animal Arts. She is a master at grooming, and so amazingly good with animals of all temperaments and sizes. Her standards are high, the school is kept immaculately clean, and even today, years later, I hear her words in my head while working on a dog... the little details that take a groom from good to excellent. Learning show grooming, anatomy and general best practices will always be beneficial. I went on to teach prep work for a while at the school, and enjoyed that, as well.”
