Hello folks!

Do you own a natural coated dog that you’d like to learn how to do some maintenance on at home? Breeds like golden retrievers, tollers, aussies, border collies, shepherd, mixed natural coated breeds ETC.

I am doing a series of webinars to raise money for my best boy Archer who was hospitalized at an emergency/specialty hospital for 8 days over Thanksgiving.

100% of the proceeds will go towards his vet bills💙

How the videos will work:
Once payment is sent I will add you to a private group. I’ll keep the group active to answer questions and every video will be available for three months. I will also post lots of before and after photos for you to save for references if you choose to do so. The videos will be geared towards duck tollers as they are my demo dogs, but the grooming techniques and tools are the same for other natural coated dogs and I will talk about them in the videos too.

Links for tools and equipment that I use in the videos will be posted on the page.

I will do multiple videos including:
- A short introduction
- Ears and ear cleaning
- Feet/Nails (“grinch toes”)
- Bathing
- Drying
- Brushing and other grooming tools
- “Spay/neuter” coat and how to maintain it
- Other video requests are welcome!

$75 CAN for the three months with unlimited viewing of videos AND help with any questions you may have, Etransfer or PayPal for payment. Since these videos are online they would be great for my American friends too!

Thank you guys! Please send me a message if youd like to join the group or if you have any questions!

Hey everyone! It's Tori here! 😊🐾

I'll keep this short and sweet, so I don’t get all teary-eyed again! 🥹

I didn’t get a chance to share this news with everyone, so here it is.

My last day at Franklyn’s was today! I received an amazing opportunity and took a huge career change!

I just wanted to say thank you to Jess for taking me under your wing for the last 2 years. You’re such an inspiration and I am so proud of what you accomplished in such a short amount of time.

A huge thank you to the Daltrey family, for always treating me as one of their own. You guys are such lovely, caring people.

And lastly, THANK YOU to all the clients who trusted me with their fur friends. I am going to miss greeting those happy tails and beautiful smiles at the door every morning. ❤️

I’m excited for this next chapter and will cherish the friendships I made at Franklyns.

Love you all! ❤️🐶🐩🐾

When an old friend that you haven’t seen in a while comes by…
Bear moved away last year and knew he was going to in the area this week so mom booked a groom. We just loved seeing his familiar face and we can confidently say he remembered us.🥹❤️
Hope to see you again soon, Bear!

Okay, official Groomania sign out post…

First off just WOW. The love, support, messages, comments, more comments, likes, etc, from all of you guys is just so overwhelming. From the bottom of my heart thank you. I love you all. The emotions and tears you guys bring me when im going through all of these posts I’m just lost for words how much I appreciate you guys.

Now for the weekend of my European debut…Friday and Saturday were individual classes. Braz and I competed in the Purebreds class, there were 27 groomers in the class which we won, then we went on to compete in best in show, there were over 400 groomers in all of the classes from at least 55 countries all over the world, and there were 11 judges that had to chose their best in show placement without discussing with the other judges.

I’m just floored to say that I won Best In Show. My first international best in show award and it was at the biggest grooming contest in the world!!🤯🥹

The excitement didn’t end there, Sunday was the World Championship team grooming competition, which means the four top groomers in each country competed as a team, there were 23 teams entered. Canada brought home SILVER! We haven’t been finalists in many many years let alone been in the medals. Huge..

Second place in the WORLD.

I am still just in shock I was apart of a team of women that I look up to and aspire to be as good as. They’re such talented groomers what an honour it was to help bring home such a prestigious award.

Thank you everyone for following along this journey with me and being apart of it so closely with me. I’m so lucky to have such support from my clients. A true small town humbling feel.
Now time to enjoy some of Europe before heading home this weekend.

See you all in the salon!
❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
Love, Jess
