Should I aim for dog trainer or dog groomer as a career?
I know that both professions require you to work directly with dogs, but I wanted to know how someone who chose to be a dog groomer or dog trainer knew that was the path they wanted to go down. They both sound appealing to me and I want to choose the one that makes me happier. I also wonder if it's possible to be both and if I should try to do that.

What would I do to get into independent animal grooming work, like your own grooming business where you can work in your own space but not in a company and would be able to take specific requests that a normal grooming company would?
I was really wanting to get into the grooming industry since I love animals and am a more independent worker and thought it would be a suitable job to have. I do plan on having another job that goes well with my interest other than independent grooming, but I know that this is one job I would love to have more career wise. If anyone can give me tips on starting up that would be AMAZING. Thank you all and have a blessed day/night!
