GROOMINGEDUCATION
WHERE ARE OUR STUDENTS NOW?
Where our students
go next.
Their own clients. Their own businesses. A growing community of groomers.
Meet the people and businesses in McKenzie’s teaching community, from apprentices taking their first steps to groomers who now share their skills with others.
McKenzie began teaching under Red Mountain Pets in 2020. That hands-on education continues today as Hygge & Hound, with students building businesses and continuing to grow in their own way.

The businesses
they’re building.
FROM STUDENT TO MENTOR
The learning keeps going.
Former student Jerry Porter runs Red Desert Pet Grooming and has gone on to teach grooming apprenticeships. His journey is one example of how learning can keep reaching new people.

Students who become teachers.
Lily Escobar, who trained with McKenzie in June 2024 in Santa Clara, has also gone on to teach grooming apprenticeships.
These stories belong to the people building them. We’re glad to have been part of their learning.
