  • Pet Supplies Plus (Panther Pets LLC, Franchisee)
  • North Huntingdon, PA

Job Description

Are you passionate about dogs and looking to build a real career in grooming?

Pet Supplies Plus North Huntingdon is launching a structured Grooming Student Program — a paid, full-time position with hands-on training and a clear path to becoming a certified professional groomer. The program is designed for candidates who are serious about grooming as a profession, not just looking for a job.

No prior grooming experience is required. What we're investing in is the right person.

What's Included

  • Free tuition in the PSP Paragon School of Pet Grooming — a nationally recognized two-level grooming curriculum
  • A student tool kit provided at no cost to you
  • Full-time paid hours from day one
  • Hands-on mentorship from our experienced salon team
  • Structured milestone certifications at each level of the program

What You'll Learn

The Paragon program runs approximately 19 weeks and takes you from fundamentals to finishing across two certification levels. Level 1 covers pet handling, bathing and drying, ear cleaning, nail trimming, coat types, and salon safety. Level 2 advances into clipper and scissor skills, breed-specific styling, hand scissoring, and finishing techniques. Between levels, you'll spend dedicated time on the floor reinforcing your skills before advancing. Store-side mentorship runs alongside the curriculum throughout.

Upon completing Level 2, you are a PSP-certified Groomer.

What We're Looking For

  • Genuine love for dogs and comfort handling animals of all sizes and temperaments
  • Reliable, full-time availability including weekends
  • Strong attention to detail and willingness to take direction
  • Animal handling experience is a plus — but not required
  • A full commitment to completing the Paragon certification program

Program Timeline

Applications close June 13th. This is a firm deadline — late applications will not be considered for this cohort. Target start date is August 3, 2026.

You will find us in North Huntingdon Square near Target and next to Dollar Tree. We are a locally-owned franchise of Pet Supplies Plus, one of the country’s largest independent pet supply retailers with more than 700 locations in 40 states. Pet Supplies Plus is dedicated to making it easy for customers to get the best for their pets at great prices. We offer a wide assortment of natural pet foods, hard goods, and pet services. Our friendly, knowledgeable staff get to know each pet and their owner by name and provide playful store experiences to remind them just how fun it is to own a pet.

Panther Pets LLC is an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, age, protected veteran status, or any other protected classification.
