The Bitey End of the Dog

From Fear to Trust: Transforming Dog Grooming with Christine Neumeyer-Smith


Listen Later

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."
