What To Expect
Hands On Workshops
Jump into real, practical learning as you work alongside expert groomers in a supportive, interactive environment. These workshops are designed to give you muscle memory and clarity through live feedback, so you can walk away with skills that stick and confidence that shows in every groom.
Live Demonstrations
Watch master groomers break down each step of their process—from prep to finish—with tips, techniques, and tool usage explained in real time. These demos are focused, detailed, and loaded with actionable insights you can bring back to your grooming table.
Skill Building Sessions
Each session is built to push your technique further—whether it’s improving your finish work, mastering new breed styles, or streamlining your grooming flow. You’ll leave with more precision, faster timing, and a stronger foundation to grow from.
Networking & Support
Connect with like-minded groomers who are just as passionate about their craft as you are. Share challenges, trade insights, and build a community that keeps you inspired long after the event ends.

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.
