The International Academy of Pet Design went out of business around April or May. The facilities located at 3805 Robinson Rd, Marietta GA and 2785 Old Alabama Rd, Johns Creek (Alpharetta) GA are empty and for sale. Certification for the school was revoked in August. However the website www.thegroomingschool.com continued to run until June? when the domain name was listed for sale. I have done some cross-referencing and found that BETH MOORE has the domain now. You can no longer pull up all of the pages; everything points to a box with the statement "more info about our school" in it. You email this and get a reply from BETH. The address on her email is Hurricane Recovery, 2659 Freedom Pkwy, Suite 135, Cumming GA 30041. Googling this address provided some interesting chat room groups. Apparently Ms Moore hawks books on horse grooming secrets (www.fairytail-horses.com) and now, dog grooming secrets (www.Vet-Secrets.com). That would be fine except for the fact that IAPD no longer exists.in fact, everything advertised on the website ceased to be true early in 2009. Now, I have no problem with Ms. Moore selling books or whatever it is she does; that is not why I have reported this. What I have a problem with is the illusion that there is still a grooming school. True, nobody can apply to it, but this is a very professional, glossy, pretty website that gives the illusion that there is a functioning grooming school still in business.in fact, there are two "distressed" properties for sale at bargain prices! Ms. Moore is using a defunct business to give her business the appearance of success and prosperity. That is the rip-off. I'm calling shenanigans on this!
