Green Dog Spa Celebrates 9th Annual Entry in Career Start Competition!
Green Dog Spa is excited to announce that for the 9th year in a row, we will have a contestant in the National Dog Groomers Association of America (NDGAA) Artero Career Start Competition in Orlando, Florida. This contest was created specifically for those who have been in the industry for 1 year or less, and it is a great way to showcase the skills of up-and-coming groomers. We believe in this contest because it offers new stylists the chance to compete against their peers & learn from some of the best in the business. Additionally, this contest provides an opportunity to network with other professionals to learn about cutting-edge products & techniques.
We are pleased to have been a part of the Career Start Competition for the past 9 years & are excited to see what the future holds. We wish all contestants the best of luck!
Meet Melissa!
Melissa is our current Career Start Competitor, who is already making a name for herself in the industry. She is passionate about animal care & is formalizing her skillset by studying to become a professional pet groomer. She completed Levels 1 & 2 of the Paragon School of Pet Grooming which focus on the foundational & intermediate skills necessary for a successful career. She attended pet safety/cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) class with her goal being to provide a safe, positive, & minimal stress experience for every pet she grooms. Melissa has studied everything from canine psychology to clipper trims with head styling, & she is ready to put her skills to the test in October 2022.
We are excited that Melissa has this opportunity to continue to learn and grow in her career, she has the full support of Green Dog Spa. We are confident she has what it takes & are excited to see her showcase her skills on this stage. Outside of work, Melissa enjoys spending time at home with her own five dogs.
