Why We Created This Event

Built by Groomers, for Groomers

Mountain West Grooming Series was formed by local groomers to help elevate the standards of professional pet grooming through advanced education, safety accountability, and industry collaboration. We invite global, national, and locally recognized educators to deliver high-quality, hands-on learning experiences that equip groomers with practical skills, certification pathways, and business development tools to directly strengthen the professional grooming workforce in a safe and judgment free space.

Our events serve as a regional hub for continuing education and certification in the Mountain West- particularly the Treasure Valley —an area historically underserved compared to traditional coastal industry centers.

At MWGS, we are committed to empowering professional growth, strengthening personal confidence, and advancing industry respect. Together, we are raising the standard and cultivating excellence across the Mountain West and beyond.

The best groomers never stop learning. That’s why these events exist.

From the start, I have been obsessed with grooming- not just the outcome of the trims, but the journey to the transformation. The idea that today I am going strive to be better than I was yesterday. That true transformation lies in the years spent perfecting technique, attending out of state expos, tradeshows, webinars, and learning how much I truly didn't know. But I was stuck...and I knew there were groomers just like me who were stuck too- not because they lack passion, but because they lack access to real, hands-on education that moves the needle.

That’s when it clicked: our industry needed a space where groomers could gather, learn directly from the best, and walk away with practical skills they could apply the very next day. So we built that space.

The Mountain West Grooming Series isn’t a flashy expo or another seminar. It’s a curated experience designed by groomers, for groomers. A place where passion meets precision. Where you get to step out of your daily routine, sharpen your craft, and return to the table with renewed confidence.

Today, I run a busy grooming salon, lead a team, and still make time to learn, because this craft never stands still—and neither should we. This event is part of a bigger mission: to raise the bar in our industry, support each other’s growth, and celebrate the art of grooming.

If you’re passionate about dogs, serious about your skills, and ready to grow, you belong here.

Stronger Techniques, Right Away

I picked up tips I started using the very next day. My clients noticed the difference—and so did I.

Cody Fisher

Learning That Sticks. This wasn’t just watching someone groom—it was hands-on and practical. I left with real skills I could apply immediately.

Kristin Watson

Next-Level Education. I’ve been grooming for years, but this event still gave me techniques I had never seen before. Totally worth it.
