| 5/18/25 |  If He "Hates It" Why Do It More Often? Ep205 | This week, we're answering the question "If he hates it, why on earth would you do it more often?" Oh, this is such a great question. We're gonna have so much fun covering this one because I think we hear that a lot from our owners, but we also hear that from the non dog trainers.

| 10/14/24 |  More Than Just “Get It Done!” Ep203 | This week we'll talk about how grooming is more than just getting it done. We'll talk about how we can tailor our grooming sessions to each and every dog. We often think that groomers either have to get the job done or refuse, and there's so much that happens in between those two choices. It's not black and white. It's not yes or no. There's a lot more tailoring that we can do.
