About the NDGAA
The NDGAA was established in 1969, we are a professional membership association of persons engaged in the grooming and care of dogs for the promotion of excellence in professional standards. Our curriculum of activities includes registered membership, certified membership, educational workshops, certification testing, seminars and grooming competitions.
For over 52 years the association has worked with groomers throughout the world promoting and encouraging professionalism and education in order to upgrade the image of the pet grooming profession. Our goal is to unite groomers through membership, to promote communication with colleagues, to set recognized grooming standards and to offer those seeking a higher level of professional recognition the opportunity to have their grooming skills certified.
Workshop & Certification Program
The NDGAA Workshop & National Certified Master Groomer (NCMG) program was developed to offer all groomers the opportunity to participate in an innovative and educational workshop as well as provide a way that they may have their grooming skills evaluated and certified.
