My guest Stephanie Zikmann, The Holistic Groomer, points out that the groomer is the Pet Professional who probably sees your dog the most times during their life, but most people don’t think about what a grooming session feels like for their dog or how stressful most find it.  She walks us through her process of making grooming more comfortable for each dog, step by step, using a holistic approach and classic training techniques geared at training a dog to love grooming!
These are links to the Resources that Stephanie mentioned, including her own website!
