PUCCI Halloween 2015!

PUCCI is more than a grooming school! In their Halloween display Windows, Each groomer is styling a dog of their kind.. The skeleton, Mrs. Scissorhand & topiary dog, the reaper, and the bride & Groom! How clever that PUCCI rewrote this popular tune to fit their Halloween themed groomers? 

In the second set of wondows there is a tub of eye balls "wash me Watch me!"  

"Pet Costume Contest" with flying dogs in costume complete the window! Because who doesn't need a flying monster for the Howl-o-Days! 

Join us October 24th for the Anoka Pet Costume Contest! 

Join us October 31st for Anoka Grand Day Parade! Listen for the PUCCI theme song along with the PUCCI float, a real time experience of creative grooming! 

Never a dull moment at PUCCI! A hands on learning environment with real life experience in both pet styling and salon management! What a better way to learn marketing and shop window displays than to be a part of this fun team!

PUCCI welcomes Dog Training

PUCCI Pet Career Studios in Anoka is once again showing that they are More than a grooming school! 

PUCCI offers education in pet styling and a full time grooming salon for the local community. Over the past 6 months PUCCI has begun rolling out a series of public classes to include DOGA, Groom R Dog, & the latest dog training! 

PUCCI has partnered with Jo Lynn, accredited dog trainer and founder of Dog Training Naturally, to bring to Anoka a state of the art dog training program! 

(Pictured trainer Jo during beginner training session) 

Classes are kept small to allow for more individualized attention. 

Puppy's learn socialization & detachment skills as their humans leave the room! Jo has an organic teaching method for both the pet and the owners! 

Training Classes meet one hour a week for 6 weeks. PUCCI is currently offering puppy classes Tuesday evenings & beginner classes Friday evenings. There is still room for enrollment! Mention this article to receive 10% off the 6 week program! Good through November 2015!

Dog training also created a need for a larger variety of treats, leads and harnesses, & durable pet toys! 

Stop into PUCCI to see whats new!!!

 Always something fun happening  @ PUCCI... http://puccicareers.com/events/

 

Groom for Marni

“I have to get these dogs done…for Marni” Please Share this Groomers story! 

 

This is a picture of me, Groomer Sarah Perkins (on left), with my Best friend Marni (on right) when we were 17. Marni and I have been Grooming buddies, since we were 17, and we are now 50.  

Marni is the best groomer I know. We had plans to groom our way into old age together. Sadly, Life had other plans. 6 weeks ago Marni woke up with paralysis and was later diagnosed with MS. She is currently undergoing treatment, and her future as a groomer is yet to be determined. Grooming has supported Marni and her 11 year old daughter for a lifetime. Now with disability pending .they currently have no means of support .  Marni is everything a groomer should be. Those of you who know Marni, know the adversities she has overcome in her life.  She loves grooming and has shared this passion with friends, clients, and students. Marni has mentored many Groomers and been inspirationall to her many freinds in the local grooming industry...

I realize this could happen to any groomer who suddenly becomes physically unable to Groom. I am reaching out to Professional Groomers everywhere asking you to help me help Marni.  Here are some fund raising events put together by grooming friends in Marnie’s Support.

Local Grooming Community called to action...

The story of a grooming community in action...

When you become a groomer you are welcomed into the grooming industry with open arms. Seasoned groomers post blogs & host social media pages welcoming newbies and offering their wisdom. The community is willing to help inspiring groomers to grow into educated professionals. The best way to get involved Is to attend a grooming seminar. It is a great way to meet the local grooming community & make connections in a casual setting. This group of pet enthusiasts & stylists come together to support one another as though they are a family.

Pucci Pet Career Studios is hosting a grooming seminar on Oct 11th. Included will be a silent auction, all proceeds will be donated to a local groomer who woke up in July with paralysis and is now having neurlological problems. A graduate from the PUCCI family's first grooming school 34 years ago. She has mentored many groomers and been influential in the local grooming industry.  PUCCI has sent staff over to cover her clientele and is now raising money.
