The Paragon School of Pet Grooming, Jenison

At The Paragon School of Pet Grooming, textbooks walk in on all fours. More than 150 pets come into the school each week, which means students get ample hands-on practice as they master bathing and brushing or work their way to becoming full pet stylists. The school's instructors teach how to work with cats and dogs, purebreds and mixed breeds. Pet owners also benefit from the school's dog- and cat-grooming services, which are available to the general public.
