What has the team been up to this September?
Emily and Sherman made the trip to Hershey for Groom Expo, the largest grooming conference on the East Coast. Sherman attended in a supervisory capacity. Meanwhile, Ivy has been deep in her own study program, and we are not sharing details just yet. Let's just say we expect it to be feline-tastic.
Why does continuing education matter?
The grooming industry has very little specific regulation beyond the laws that govern all businesses. That means the standard of care a groomer delivers comes down to what they choose to invest in themselves. Seminars, conferences, certifications, forums, updated research, and hands-on training are what keep a groomer growing rather than just maintaining.
Style matters, and yes, Sherman takes that personally. But so does safety, handling, equipment, sanitation, and staying current on the products and techniques that affect your pet's wellbeing. Continuing education is how we make sure the care your pet receives always reflects the best the industry has to offer.
