The Modern Grooming Professional™
A professional certification that defines how modern grooming salons operate.
Formalizing safe handling, behavior awareness, and structured workplace standards.
One Standard. Three Entry Points.
The MGP™ establishes a shared professional standard focused on injury prevention, humane handling, and salon-ready best practices.
A modern certification that supports how grooming professionals work today and the standards clients and teams increasingly expect.
Why This Is Different
This does not replace AKC Safe.
It does not replace Fear Free.
It does not replace Pet First Aid or CPR.
It strengthens how those certifications are applied inside real salons.
Most certifications measure skill.
The MGP defines professional operating standards.
We need to start prioritizing calm, comfortable, and cooperative grooming each time a pet enters our care.
Ashley Lawrence — Groomer
I thought going into this I already knew everything I needed to with behavior and grooming, but I was wrong. The way some of this was questioned (especially with tools) brought out things I had never really considered.
Deb Flores — Groomer/Owner
The MGP has given me a new way of thinking about how I would want every day of work to start and end… and good tools to use on a daily basis to make progress.
Jennifer Wilson — Owner
