Connecting learners to opportunity

  • We could not be more excited to see you at @superzooshow next week! Find us in booth 1408 or catch our classes. Sierra is teaching on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, Patty is teaching on Wednesday, and Rachel is teaching on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. We’ve got lots of education to share in grooming, business, and team development. Who else is attending? Save us a dance at the pool party!
  • Carding knives aren’t only for desheds! We also like to use them on some drop coated dogs to help remove built up undercoat and exfoliate their skin, which leads to a smoother finish. Game changer!
  • These are our favorite guard comb lengths to use on the body! Who else prefers guards over blades? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Should we make another vid showing blades too?
  • Always grateful, but sometimes you just need to mentally prepare in the calm before the storm!
