Join us for a deep dive into handling on May 17, 2026, at the Groomerverse Training Center!
Starting at 10:00 AM, spend the morning learning about dog behavior, spotting problems before they progress, keeping the dog calm and teaching it to accept grooming. Starting at 1:00 pm, the afternoon will be all about cats. Cats are very different from dogs, keeping the cat calm and cooperative, then tools and techniques to use.
