DON'T MISS OUT! WEBINAR THIS WEEKEND!

Table Troubles & Grooming Q&A Benefit Webinar

Is your dog young and inexperienced and the grooming table “happy dance” creates an unsafe situation? Or maybe he’s older and knows exactly how to move around and make the grooming process harder for you... Has she gotten older and less cooperative or just can’t stand for as long and you’re struggling to adjust to her needs?

Grooming your own dog can seem daunting — scissors and clippers around a moving target?!? How do the professionals do it??? One big key, perhaps the most important, is getting cooperation on the grooming table. Everything is harder if your dog can’t, or won’t, be still.

In this Webinar you will learn:

• the reasons behind the dancing feet and what you can do about them.
• The ways you don’t even know you are making things worse, and how to change.
• How to help your dog understand what you want (need!) so you can both be safe and comfortable.

Bring Your Questions! Following the Webinar will be an "ask-me-anything" (about grooming) Q&A Session so whatever you’ve been wondering, or afraid to ask, or want an expert’s opinion about… this is your chance! Questions will be taken live or can be submitted in advance by replying to this email.

This Webinar will be held live, on Zoom, on Sunday November 23 at 3:00 pm ET, and will be followed by the Q&A Session. A recorded replay will be sent to all ticket buyers so don’t worry if you can’t make the Webinar in person.

The cost to attend is “pay what you can” — I want the teaching opportunity to be within reach of everybody, and I also hope that those of you that can pay more will consider doing so to support my right-hand man and behind-the-scenes collaborator Andy, who has donated so much of his time over the years to helping me serve this Schnauzer community.

About the Benefit:

If you’ve ever been to one of my webinars, or Q & A Sessions, read the Schnauzer Grooming Club Newsletter or watched my YouTube videos, then you’ve encountered Andy, though you may not know it. For almost 5 years, since I started creating content, Andy has been my technical guru and shoulder-to-cry-on (I have come a long way through my tech-phobia, lol). He’s also been my “background guy,” managing my Zoom room during public calls, and helping me to navigate the technology and platforms that I use to bring you Schnauzer grooming content. Without him, I probably couldn’t have persevered to be here now. Andy is moving and needs a new vehicle to follow his dreams. He’s been helping me follow mine for years, so I am committed to helping him pursue his!

The Unconditional Coach

Andy is such a good technology mentor for me because his support is unconditional — it’s always been ok for me to grow at my own pace, with no pressure to learn faster, or be more skilled than whatever level I am at, and even to go backwards sometimes, without judgement. When I needed “training wheels” to learn a new platform it was ok to use them as long as I wanted, to feel comfortable, and as a result now I am secure in what I do know and that I trust myself more when leaning into new technologies, software an other digital resources. Not only that, Andy’s taught me an original paradigm of understanding that he calls “Unconditional Boundaries" (TM), a massive upgrade to the traditional systems of boundaries that many of us are familiar with. That paradigm has directly benefited you, as that thought process inspired and continues to shape my “Cultivating Cooperation” content of the last couple of years.

You see, Andy just moonlights as a technology coach, he’s actually a certified life-coach like I am and we trained together in a lot of the same classrooms. He’s been helping people navigate and up-level their lives for years, since before I met him. I think people are used to hearing about life-coaches seeking “big ticket” clients, who only help people many of us would think are already well on their way, but that’s not Andy’s niche at all. Andy is the Unconditional Coach, after all. He meets his clients, many of whom don’t have access to other help, where they are emotionally, developmentally and financially, asking first how can he serve them, not how can they pay him. He does important and useful work in the world and, ultimately, that’s why I’m hosting this benefit webinar and Q&A session.

Andy’s living situation has changed and without a lot of time to prepare, he has to move and he’s raising money for a new vehicle to head out on the road. In the past, Andy has helped clients both in his home of Canada and globally, through the power of social platforms and Zoom, but he’s looking forward to traveling, helping more clients in person, and beginning a YouTube channel. The inspiration of this webinar and Q&A is to raise money to help Andy get the vehicle that allows him the freedom to explore this long-held dream.

In Andy's own words:

I want to tell you about my dream of traveling across Canada, van-life style.

Ever since I first saw them in 2001, I've wanted to buy a Chevy Avalanche. In 2012 I finally got one, and it was truly a dream come true. We took it camping, used it to move, and did all the other things people do with their trucks. I loved it. And when my ex-wife and I split in 2016, I began to see the true value of this unique vehicle. I began sleeping in it by converting it from truck to camper using its built in features. That's when I realized the true value of this vehicle I had.

When I had to sell it in 2019 in order pursue life coaching, I promised myself that I would buy another one as soon as I was able to. Fast forward to this year, and I've continued to serve people who slip through the cracks, and the dream of traveling the country in my Avalanche has seemed like a distant memory, until now.

On top of traveling all over Canada, while I continue my calling as a life coach helping the people that are forgotten and ignored by the rest of the world, I've also wanted to document my journey, and my personal experiences, and share them and this dream through a YouTube channel I'll be launching soon.
