A New Era of Grooming Education
Raise Standards, Together
At the heart of the International Grooming Society lies a commitment to excellence, ethics, and holistic care.
Our official certification, the DAATA-ICDG Certification, is designed to provide grooming professionals with science-based, respectful, and internationally recognized training. Rooted in dermatology, animal physiology, and emotional well-being, it represents a new global standard.
More learning opportunities are coming soon — including online courses, interactive modules, and live seminars, accessible wherever you are in the world.
🎓 Whether you're looking to deepen your knowledge or align your salon with holistic values, IGS training programs are made for you.
