When dog grooming, there is always something to learn, whether you are an "at home" grooming novice learning to maintain your dog's skin and coat, or a "grooming professional" wanting to expand on your knowledge and abilities. This is the place to find help and help others through the sharing of information. There is so much more to grooming than just a hair cut and a bath. I have been asked a wide variety of questions and shared information about every day problems from skin irritations to what do I do if I cut my dogs nails too short. Together, we should be able to cover just about any topic. I look forward to your input and comments along the way.

Some of the topics I will be covering are:
