Dog Grooming in Acushnet

Regular grooming is essential to a dog’s health and overall well-being. At MJ’s Pet Training Academy, our grooming process blends elements of show-quality grooming with positive, behavior-focused techniques to create a unique experience that leaves dogs looking and feeling their best.

Every grooming appointment begins with coat preparation, carefully tailored to your dog’s individual coat type. All packages include nail and ear care, along with a bath and fluff dry. From there, you can choose trimming and styling services, or work with your groomer to find the best plan for your dog.

Requirements

• A valid rabies certificate must be kept on file and updated as needed.

• Dogs must be current on all age-appropriate vaccinations and in good health. Dogs showing signs of illness cannot be groomed.

• Dogs must pass behavior requirements.

Book with Krystal

Krystal Pacheco joined the MJ’s team in 2018 and has since become a familiar and trusted presence for many of the dogs our care. Known for her calm, kind approach, Krystal helps pets feel at ease throughout the grooming process.

She enjoys working with a wide range of coat types, from spaniels to collies, and has a particular appreciation for thick, shedding coats. Her work reflects both skill and patience, allowing her to handle each pet with care while achieving beautifully finished results.

Although Krystal grew up with cats, she has always been a lifelong animal lover. She found her path into the dog world in 2012 after adopting her dog, Chief. By 2015, she began working professionally with dogs, caring for them in a boarding setting and assisting with bathing services.

Since joining MJ’s Pet Training Academy, Krystal has continued to develop her grooming skills and deepen her knowledge, bringing both experience and genuine care to every appointment.
