The Holistic Grooming Academy is proud to be affiliated with respected organisations and recognised within the dog grooming and behaviour community. These partnerships reflect our commitment to high standards, accreditation, and animal-centred care.
Our affordable monthly membership option.
Founded by Multi-Award-Winning and Amazon #1 Bestselling Author, Stephanie Zikmann, the Academy is built on compassion, science, and accreditation. We go beyond traditional grooming to teach skills that improve wellbeing - for dogs, groomers and guardians alike.
When you study with us, you’re not just learning — you’re earning the UK’s first accredited diploma in holistic dog grooming. This unique qualification is recognised across the industry, helping you stand out, build credibility, and create real career opportunities.
Our courses go beyond technique. Every module is grounded in canine behaviour science and low-stress handling. You’ll learn how to reduce fear and anxiety, read body language, and transform grooming into a calmer, safer experience for both you and the dogs you work with.
We believe grooming should always put the dog first. That’s why our teaching is animal-centred — empowering you to adapt your methods, build trust, and prioritise wellbeing over speed or aesthetics. This compassionate approach sets HGA apart and makes you part of a movement that’s reshaping the future of grooming.
