Groomer Connexion | Sep Oct 26 issue out now
This time they’re asking some BIG questions for our industry. Are we teaching groomers to stay in the profession? How many dogs a day is too many? And what do groomers really expect from their grooming products?
Plus, LOOK at that little face on the cover.
Dandie Dinmont Terrier
Short legs. Big hair. Absolutely no interest in blending in.
Meet McGregor, Tepra’s ridiculously cute young Dandie Dinmont Terrier, and learn how that unmistakable Dandie shape starts to come together.
Have the dogs changed?
Nat and Kath explore why groomers may be seeing more dogs struggling with grooming, and how Space, Pace and Agency can help us work with the dog in front of us.
Toot Toot!
A very special bit of recognition for igroomhub, and a chance to learn more about Kevin Pakes, the man behind the award and his contribution to Australia’s pet industry.

And you can read it right here. Congratulations to Sarah on this exciting new addition to the industry!
The BIG POD is here
The Behaviour Informed Grooming podcast is now live. The first three episodes are already up. Take a little listen here, or wherever you get your pods 🎧
Interview with April Williams
You’ll see parts of this conversation throughout the new behaviour course, but we thought igroomhub members might like to watch the full chat too. Lot’s of great discussion here - a good one to watch if you are on the fence about doing the course.
Talking Behaviour + Dog Grooming Education
Nat talks candidly about the old days of simply getting the groom done, the growing importance of reading and understanding the dog in front of us, and why technical skill alone isn't enough for today's groomer.
We weren’t taught this.
After 35 years in dog grooming, Nat West reflects on how our understanding of dogs, behaviour and grooming has changed.

The Gatsby
Learn how to create Arrow's signature Gatsby Trim. This advanced poodle tutorial covers the dramatic S-shaped neckline, balancing the topknot and chest, clipper placement, scissoring techniques and adapting the Gatsby to different body styles while maintaining clean poodle proportions.
The Invisible Cost of Kindness
Owners see the beautifully groomed dog walking back through the door. They don't always see the extra time spent letting an elderly dog rest before attempting that back leg again, the second person steadying a dog with arthritis, or the decision to put the HV dryer down and finish with a soft handheld dryer instead, even though it adds another twenty minutes to the groom.
GoFundMe for Prue and Koro
The beautiful Yvette Miles Icmg has organised a fundraiser to help with Koro's ongoing veterinary care following the removal of a cancerous tumour, as well as treatment for a cruciate ligament injury. At the same time, Prue is recovering from a fractured pelvis herself, making this an incredibly difficult chapter for them both. If you're in a position to help, or simply able to share the fundraiser, it would mean the world to Prue.
Louis the Cavoodle with Tay
Louis is all about soft lines, fluffy legs and a gorgeous teddy bear face. Pick up plenty of attachment comb, blending and finishing tips from Tay throughout this polished pet trim tutorial that's both adorable and easy for owners to maintain.
