In this episode of the Making Ripples podcast, we're joined by April Williams, the passionate owner and operator of All About The Hound dog services in Masterton, New Zealand. With 13 years of experience, April is a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner and Certified Professional Groomer who is dedicated to providing stress-free grooming and training experiences.

April's commitment to kind and gentle training is evident in her specialized "Little Groomies" Puppy Grooming Intro packages, designed to ease puppies into the grooming process. She shares her journey from working in academic publishing to establishing All About The Hounds, driven by her desire to connect and understand her own dog, Archie. 

In this episode, we dive into:

✅ April’s approach to creating positive and stress-free grooming experiences for dogs

✅ The importance of early and gentle introduction to grooming, and her ‘Little Groomies’ program

✅ How a clicker training experience with her dog Archie, helped shape her training philosophy

✅ The challenges in the grooming industry, particularly around education and training

Whether you're a pet professional or a pet guardian, April's dedication to improving animal welfare and her innovative approach to grooming and training will provide you with valuable insights into creating a better experience for the animals in your life.
