In this episode, I chat with Christine Neumeyer-Smith, a master groomer, behavior specialist, AND certified professional dog trainer, to uncover the secrets of making grooming a stress-free experience for dogs. Christine's journey from a boarding kennel intern to a leading expert in the field is nothing short of inspiring. We tackle the communication gaps between groomers and trainers and reveal practical strategies like counter conditioning and consent-based training to enhance dog comfort and safety during grooming sessions. About Christine: "I'm a Master Groomer Behavior Specialist (MGBS), Certified Professional Groomer (CPG), Certified Behavior Consultant for Canines (CBCC-KA), Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA), and Fear Free Certified Groomer and Trainer (FFCP). My journey began in 1986 during an internship for the Essex Agricultural and Technical Institute Animal Science program, where I discovered my passion for training and grooming. In 2000, I founded Happy Critters, offering house call grooming, in-home training, and behavior consulting. As an instructor at the Whole Pet Grooming Academy, I teach The Master Groomer Behavior Specialist program online course. Additionally, I've been hosting the Creating Great Grooming Dogs podcast since 2018 and speaking at grooming conferences and summits."Limited time offer! <a href='https://aggressivedog.thinkific.com/bundles/the-aggression-in-dogs-master-course-and-expert-webinar-bundle-2024'>The Aggression in Dogs Master Course and Expert Webinar Bundle!</a> Only 50 will be made available. <a href='https://aggressivedog.thinkific.com/bundles/the-aggression-in-dogs-master-course-and-expert-webinar-bundle-2024'>https://aggressivedog.thinkific.com/bundles/the-aggression-in-dogs-master-course-and-expert-webinar-bundle-2024</a> Learn more about options for help for dogs with aggression here: <a href='https://aggressivedog.com'>AggressiveDog.com</a> Learn more about our annual Aggression in Dogs Conference here: <a href='https://aggressivedog.com/conference/'>The Aggression in Dogs Conference</a> Subscribe to the bonus episodes available here: <a href='https://thebiteyendofthedog.supercast.com/subscriber/reactivations/new?plan_id=2923&price_id=6531'>The Bitey End of the Dog Bonus Episodes</a> Check out all of our webinars, courses, and educational content here: <a href='https://aggressivedog.thinkific.com'>Webinars, courses, and more!</a>
