I been attending there for a couple of months and I love it there!! It feels like home.. Always having a great time well learning at the same time!! Never a dull moment.. I enjoy grooming the dogs there.. The instructor for the Grooming Academy is on point with his cuts and grooms.. I recommend anybody that wants their dog to be washed and groomed or even want to attend the school.. Sign up now!!
After the first two days attending the W.C.G.A. Academy, I was wondering what I was doing there!, I though that was not mine, be a pet groomer!, but as the days progressed I came to love what I was learning. Thank you Chris Jackson for being an extraordinary Instructor, your Knowledge and patience did awaken in me!, something that I was looking long time ago. I’m almost at the end of my six weeks grooming program, happy and ready to start another stage of my life, which I’m sure I’ll enjoy doing much!
It’s a great academy! Chris is a very good teacher, Professional and patient, nice to the dog. He help me to open my new job life, may be in the future also help me with my business. From here I learn the grooming skill, open my ideas, and made friends. Thanks a lot for my teacher, It is lucky to choice here!
I was able to locate this grooming school right here close to me. I took Hanna in for a bath and full groom. I was pleased with the results. The male teacher is exceptional with the dogs and their owners. I had a student groom Hanna and did a exceptional job. I will take Hanna back for future grooming.
Chris is an awesome teacher! I learned so much during his course and he was so helpful accommodating my schedule. The salon is very welcoming and he keeps you busy. The course is super hands on. If you show up and are serious about learning, you’ll get a lot out of the class. One of the things I loved was that he works with the local humane society and you get to groom shelter pups. It’s very rewarding.
Chris is the type of person who wants to see you succeed and will be there for you even after you’re done with the class. He’s helped all my fellow students with job placement, and even got me a job in the salon after I finished my course.
Thanks Chris! You’re the best 🙂
Took my puppy for her first haircut and they took great care of her knowing how scared she would be her first time at the groomers. Also took my newly adopted shelter dog and they did amazing with him as well and their haircuts came out great!
Took the parenting class today with my Maltese. I learned a lot more about my dog than from any dog training course. Her temperament, how to properly hold her for nail trims & clipper use. I was doing it wrong. Chris took his time with all of us to make sure we understood the care of our particular breeds. From nails, to bathing, toothbrushing, ear cleaning, blow drying then haircuts. Haircuts took the longest because we had 3 different breeds in the class. I have a new appreciation for pet groomers. I feel comfortable grooming my 3 dogs since I learned so much from this course. I would take another course from this school.
I am a graduate of the West Coast Grooming Academy and am now working as a certified groomer at the Pawlor/West Coast Grooming Academy. I have always loved dogs and decided to pursue a job where I could spend time with them and learn more about them. After participating in the 8 week course, I have also completed my three month internship and learned more. The 8 week course was a great learning experience and was also extremely fun. I got to work alongside other animal lovers and learn from an awesome instructor, Chris Jackson!
