Summary

In our latest episode of The Daily Groomer, I sat down with Aaron Voyden, the founder of Cobblestone Creek, to hear how he went from working as a vet tech to becoming an award-winning groomer with a focus on special-needs and often overlooked animals. We talked about what it’s really like working with pets that are anxious, aggressive, or aging, and how understanding animal behavior plays a huge role in grooming. Aaron also shared how he trains his team to tune into each animal’s unique needs. Groomer or not, you'll find something worth hearing in Aaron's approach.
