New MGBS class starting Mon November 9th at Noon Eastern!

Creating Great Grooming Dogs

This is the podcast where dog grooming and dog training meet! Each episode is a Lesson by Chrissy Neumyer Smith. There are over 200 Lessons(over 70 hours) on behavior and cooperative care for grooming. You don’t have to start at the beginning—just jump in, pick a topic, and learn something you can use right away. It’s for groomers, trainers, pet owners, and pet pros who want dogs to be calm, comfortable, and cooperative for grooming and other types of care. New lessons will be added when I feel an urge to go deeper into a topic or when listeners request a topic.

"But this doesn't hurt" Ep153

In the first part we'll talk about times when we may be thinking that "this doesn't hurt" but who gets to decide what hurts and what doesn't. Who get's to decide what's scary or what isn't. In the second part we'll talk about if we're causing pain, injuries, or fear.

Want to learn more about behavior? My program is the Master Groomer Behavior Specialist program at Whole Pet Grooming Academy. It consists of four courses. Each course is eight weeks long. They are entirely online and include weekly zoom classroom time.
