Jacey Hurst
Founder of Dreamy Dogs Grooming Academy

I started my grooming career 20 years ago as a bather with one goal: to become a groomer

I couldn’t afford grooming school, so I spent years as a bather, learning everything I could. Perfecting bathing, staying late to watch groomers, and helping others problem-solve their grooms before I was ever officially trained myself.

Once I finally became a groomer, I never stopped learning. I specialized in Asian Fusion, became an Open-Level competitive groomer, and went on to teach Creative Grooming, Bedlington Terrier grooming, and advanced techniques.

Along the way, I discovered what I love most: turning complicated grooming techniques into simple, repeatable systems that actually work. 

I created Dreamy Dogs Grooming Academy for the younger version of me. The person who wanted a thorough, affordable education without spending years feeling lost or inadequate. My goal is to teach you the patterns, tools, techniques, and industry knowledge I wish someone had taught me from the beginning.
