Coming soon

McGregor the Dandie Dinmont Terrier, mid-puppy coat and already learning the ropes of hand stripping.

Tepra walks through how she rolls his coat every few days, strips the jacket while leaving the soft furnishings, and starts setting correct shape early without overdoing it on a young dog.

From jacket lines and sensitive areas, to tassels, feet, and that unmistakable Dandie head, this is a calm, clear look at working with the coat that is, not the coat you wish you had.

If you hand strip, want to hand strip, or just love seeing a rare breed done properly, this one’s a treat to watch.

We’ve spent a long time asking how we can make grooming safer and more comfortable for dogs. A big part of the answer is learning to recognise what they’re telling us before they reach the point where they can’t cope anymore. ♥

Modern Principles of Behaviour-Informed Dog Grooming brings current behaviour science into the grooming environment, with tools groomers can use to better understand the dogs in their care.

Available now at igroomschool.

Modern Principles is out in the world, and there’s lots more to explore. We’ve been adding conversations, articles and extras around the course, including the full chat with April Williams (one of our experts from All About the Hound), Nat talking about how grooming and our understanding of dogs has changed over the years, and plenty more to come. Some is free, some is for igroomhub members, and if all this talk about behaviour-informed grooming has you curious, the full course is waiting for you at igroomschool.

Thinking about entering your first grooming competition… but the nerves are already kicking in? What if you don’t place? What if everyone else seems better? And what if your groom doesn’t turn out the way you planned? Barb has a few things to say about that.

Were you ever really taught about behaviour?

Not handling. Not how to hold a dog still, get a foot clipped or safely finish a groom.

But how to recognise stress before it escalates. How to tell the difference between a dog that's coping and one that's shut down. What choice and agency can look like during grooming, or what a dog might have been communicating long before the growl, snap or bite.

For a lot of us, the answer is probably no.

It wasn't a big part of traditional dog grooming education. We cared about the dogs, but we simply didn't have the understanding of behaviour that we have available to us now.

After 35 years in grooming and educating, Nat has been reflecting on how much our industry has changed, what many of us weren't taught, and why our education needs to keep changing too.

We weren’t taught this. For many of us, behaviour simply wasn’t a big part of our grooming education. We learned technical skills, we cared about the dogs, and we did the best we could with the knowledge we had. But we know more now, and grooming education needs to keep evolving. That’s why we created Modern Principles of Behaviour-Informed Dog Grooming. Now available at the introductory price of $195, with lifetime access.
