We love trade shows and we're concerned about the some of the negativity surrounding them. Since we don't want to see them go the way of Blockbuster, Chris and Mary are doing a series on the problem. This episode is focused on why an attendee cannot go and possible solutions.

We love continuing education and am so excited to have Alex tells us about the Whitmans Grooming Shows and their retreats. And of course, our usual digressions take us all over the place.

Enjoy a re-edited Best Of Episode with Laura Civello Hearn as we discuss spoons ot lack thereof.

Mary, Chris, and River discuss spending your money wisely and stick mostly to topic.

Instead of listening to Mary and Chris this week. We've brought you your colleagues from Groom Expo West in Pasadena.

We all have had reactive dogs in our facilities and many of us have owned reactive dogs. Mary and Chris bring on Chrissy Neumyer Smith Master Groomer Behavior Specialist MGBS,Behavior Consultant CBCC, and host of Creating Great Grooming Dogs Podcast to discuss with Amanda Madtes her own reactive dog.

Mary and Chris just interviewed the most traveling groomer ever. Zoya is a flight attendant in addition to being a mobile groomer.

Mary and Chris had a blast interviewing Jonny Devaney aka JauncyDev. Jonny's spot on impressions of dog breeds kept us in stitches.

Watch as Mary And Chris discuss professionalism and those times when maybe they were less than professional.

Mary and Chris chat with grooming icon Daryl Conner, who BTW is the original housecall groomer.
