We’ve handpicked a small selection of tutorials to give you a feel for igroomhub. Explore below. To get back to this page look out for this little guy in the bottom right corner.
Everything Poodle | German Trim
-
This tutorial is part of Everything Poodle, a specialist collection of poodle masterclasses on igroomhub. This library dives deep into breed-specific trims, coat management, correction work, and advanced finishing techniques designed specifically for poodles.
-
Poodles have a special place on igroomhub, which is why their advanced trims live in their own dedicated library. In this masterclass, Prue Hammond demonstrates a full German Trim on Koro, covering coat preparation, blade selection, blocking in with clippers, detailed scissoring, and finishing for balance and structure. The focus is on working with coat density, anatomy, and angles to create a strong, masculine outline.
Salon & Pet Styles | Maltese
-
Cute, practical pet trims for everyday neighbourhood stars.
This library brings together salon-style grooms you’ll recognise straight away. Find trims by breed group linked from the Members Dashboard, or via our breed A–Z (aka the Wonderwall of Dogs)
-
Michelle demonstrates a full Maltese drop coat groom on Pepper using an orange comb attachment.
The tutorial covers clipper setup, body clipping, and scissoring choices for a shorter pet trim, along with face shaping, ear work, feet, and finishing. Michelle also talks through handling and positioning when grooming a nervous dog, and explains how she adjusts pressure, pace, and technique to keep the groom controlled and consistent.
⏺️ Microbite | Finessing the Donut Muzzle
-
Microbites are short, technique-focused lessons that break grooming skills into one clear action at a time. Each clip targets a specific method, tool choice, or finishing detail you can practise, repeat, and refine. Designed for quick skill-building and sharpening the small details that lift the overall quality of your grooms. Easy to dip into between clients.
-
In this Microbite, Sue demonstrates how to finish a muzzle using curved chunkers, showing how to lift the coat, set the correct angle from underneath, and create a soft, balanced expression without removing width. The focus is on precision, scissor control, and clean finishing.
Masterclass | Chinese Crested
-
Masterclasses are igroomhub’s advanced grooming tutorials, designed to showcase breed standards, advanced skills, and polished professional finishes. They’re organised by breed group or available through the Wonderwall, just like Salon Styles. Some are even available to rent as individual tutorials at igroomschool.
-
In this masterclass, Alicia Fragiadakis walks through a full Chinese Crested show trim on Simon, covering every stage of the process from bath to finish. Chinese Crested grooming is all about skin health, preparation, and precision. The focus is on correct skin care, exfoliation, product choice, safe shaving, nail and pad work, and ongoing maintenance for hairless breeds.
Alicia explains why preparation is critical for these dogs, how to prevent irritation and infection, and how to manage both hairless and coated areas to meet show expectations. This tutorial covers bathing, drying, shaving with clippers and razor, moisturising, nail care, and long-term skin protection, with practical guidance throughout.
Foundations | Safe Handling Basics
-
Foundations & Prep is igroomhub’s core knowledge library, bringing together the practical information groomers return to again and again. It covers handling and restraint, tool use and maintenance, skin and coat fundamentals, bathing and drying by coat type, and essential hygiene and prep work.
This section is designed to support confident, consistent grooming outcomes by grounding your work in solid technique and sound decision-making. Whether you’re refining your prep process, revisiting coat and skin principles, or checking best practice around tools and safety, Foundations & Prep acts as a reliable reference point alongside your day-to-day grooming.
It’s not about starting from scratch. It’s about reinforcing the skills that sit underneath every good groom and making sure the basics are working for you, not against you.
-
Learn safe, correct handling on the grooming table, including how to use a grooming noose properly, manage movement, and prevent common accidents. Nicky demonstrates first with a toy dog, then with a real dog, focusing on calm, practical techniques.
⏩ fastForward | Field Spaniel
-
FastForwards are full grooms, streamlined. They show a complete groom from start to finish, with repetition, resets, and long pauses removed. You still see every stage of the groom, but in a tighter, more focused watch that highlights technique, decision-making, and finishing.
They’re ideal when you want to understand how a groom comes together as a whole, without committing time to a full-length tutorial.
When you sign up, you’ll find them on your Members Dashboard under Quick Wins.
-
In this FastForward, Tiarne works through a traditional Field Spaniel groom on Coco. The focus is on stripping and carding the jacket, setting correct feathering, and shaping the underline, feet, head, ears, and tail for a natural, functional finish.
This tutorial shows how the individual steps connect across the groom, helping you see timing, order, and balance on a combination coat breed.
The Groomerverse | Working Solo Tips
-
The Groomerverse is where grooming goes beyond the everyday routine.
It brings together advanced techniques, creative expression, professional wellbeing, and the realities of long-term grooming careers.Inside the Groomerverse you’ll find content spanning:
Asian Fusion and creative styling
Advanced scissoring, stripping, and specialist techniques
Colour work and creative finishes
Challenging grooming situations
Groomer health and sustainability
Shows, competitions, and presentation
Model dogs and structured skill development
This space is for groomers who want to stretch their skills, think more deeply about their work, and stay inspired while building a career that lasts.
-
In this Groomerverse session, Chuckie Lund shares her experience working as a solo groomer and running a successful, non–shopfront salon.
She walks through her salon setup, tool choices, safety considerations, and daily workflow, then unpacks the real pros and cons of working alone. Chuckie also talks openly about networking, mental load, client boundaries, and the systems she uses to stay organised and avoid burnout.
This tutorial is practical, honest, and grounding. It’s less about grooming technique and more about how you sustain yourself in the industry over the long term.
BONUS Mixed Breeds | Cavoodle
-
Mixed breeds make up a massive chunk of most groomers’ weekly schedule, so igroomhub’s Mixed Breeds section reflects that.
You’ll find oodles and other mixed breeds grouped by coat type, so you can jump straight to the kind of coat you are working with and see grooming approaches that suit it. It’s designed to help you build repeatable systems for the dogs that walk in the door every day, even when there is no neat little breed clip to follow
-
In this tutorial, Tay demonstrates a structured, practical groom on Teddy the Cavoodle, working through coat preparation, clipper control, and balanced shaping.
The focus is on establishing clean length first, blending smoothly through transitions, and reducing the need for heavy corrective scissoring. Each part builds toward a tidy, repeatable finish designed for regular client grooms rather than one-off styling.
This is a clear example of how to approach oodle coats with confidence, control, and a system you can apply across many similar dogs.
