“Hey Creating Great Grooming Dogs Family — it’s Chrissy.

You know how every week on Creating Great Grooming Dogs, we talk about listening to what the dog is really saying?
Well… what if we could keep that conversation going — together?

This is a monthly one-on-one mentoring session for real grooming behavior cases. This live Zoom call happens in your grooming space, with your pet on the table, so we can work through challenges together in real time. No more “I can’t find a trainer near me.” I’m your trainer. We’ll problem solve handling, restraint, training plans, safety concerns, and cooperative care strategies while you work. This discounted member rate is only available inside the Scholar Lounge. Private mentoring sessions normally start at $175 per hour.

Mentorship & Community with Chrissy Neumyer Smith

🐾 Welcome, Friend

If you’ve been listening to the Creating Great Grooming Dogs podcast, you already know—our work isn’t just about the haircut.
It’s about reading the dog in front of you, working with calm confidence, and finding solutions that make grooming safer and easier for everyone involved.

And here’s the truth:
Over the years, so many of you have reached out asking, “Chrissy, how can I talk with you? I wish I could pick your brain about this one dog…”

So, I built a space where we can do exactly that.
