SummaryIn our latest episode of The Daily Groomer, I sit down with Christopher Jackson, the founder of West Coast Grooming Academy. We talk about his journey, from launching his business with just a dream and a few savings to changing the way dog grooming is taught. Christopher opens up about how his academy is raising the bar in the industry, his work with shelters and nonprofits, and the push for licensing to give the profession the recognition it deserves.
