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.
