Dear Pet Grooming Professional:
Welcome to Intergroom, 2013! Please review our new catalog carefully so that you can best benefit
from everything Intergroom has to offer!
For starters, our three day convention, trade show and grooming competitions are held on SATURDAY, SUNDAY and MONDAY, just like the shows in the human beauty industry! Check the catalog
carefully for trade show hours, times of educational classes and grooming competitions as well. Our
Rising Star and International Groomer of the Year competitions begin on Saturday morning, continue on through Sunday and finish right before Best in Show, which will be presented on the trade show
floor on Sunday evening, starting at 5:30PM. Monday morning brings the incredible “Extreme
Makeover Competition” featuring dogs with a minimum of four months of hair growth. The unique
“Feline Fantasy Competition” will be held in the adjacent ring area and, in the afternoon, the ever
popular “Creative Challenge Competition” will take place. So, set aside time to enjoy these elaborate
pet styling fabrications with color and sculpture limited only by the amazing imaginations of the individual stylists.
Competitors: Please check the rules carefully as quite a few changes have been made this year in
competition times and eligibility.
Once again, we are featuring some of the country’s top professionals presenting seminars throughout
the show hours. Classroom seminars and demonstrations will fill the weekend with quality education.
Class choices are clearly noted and clarified in the catalog so, please, make your selections carefully
before registering. You may register on-line, at the Intergroom website (www.intergroom.com) for
educational classes and competitions as well as our Free Trade Show registration.
Come, see and “feel” the excitement of INTERGROOM, 2013. Find yourself in the company of top
pet stylists, hundreds of products and industry leaders from around the globe all sharing their knowledge, technique and information to enhance your professional career and your Intergroom experience.
We’ll see you there.

NOTICE TO INTERGROOM 2013 ATTENDEES
& COMPETITORS
Please read these rules carefully
The dogs entered in our competitions and involved in the programs are essential to the success of our show. Since
special arrangements have been made with the Holiday Inn to accommodate these dogs, we ask dog owners and
handlers to observe the following rules:
1. Only dogs and cats entered in the various competitions or scheduled for demonstrations or seminars
will be permitted at the hotel. No pets should accompany other attendees.
2. The hotel will permit only one dog per room - with a non-refundable security deposit of $100. You
may, however, bring additional dogs for the competitions. We will house them in a special supervised
holding area at no additional cost to you. These dogs will not be left unattended; there will be
security staff on duty at all times. This area will be available from 12:00 pm on Friday, April 19th, until
5:00 pm on Monday, April 22nd. Please check in at the Expo Center.
3. Advance reservations are required noting that dogs will need to be accommodated. When you
complete the room reservation form enclosed in this catalog, be sure to indicate that you will be
bringing dogs. To minimize complaints about barking, the hotel plans to house all guests with dogs
on the same floors if possible. Dogs not properly acknowledged upon check-in will receive a harsh
penalty from the Hotel.
4. Your dog must be kenneled at all times when alone in sleeping rooms. Please bring sufficient crates
to house your dogs.
5. Dogs must be leashed or kenneled when they are not being groomed in the contest ring or in the
seminars. They also must be leashed and well supervised at all times when in public areas of the hotel.
6. The special "walking" and lavatory area for all dogs is located at the Holiday Inn (across the street from
the Exposition Center) and at the Exposition Center. The areas will be clearly marked and no other area
should be used for this purpose. Come prepared to pick-up after your dog(s).
7. Absolutely NO bathing, blow-drying or pre-grooming of dogs is allowed in any of the
sleeping rooms. Penalties will be severe.
We have made special arrangements with BEST IN SHOW for the use of their specially-designed
grooming facility. This has proved far superior to any other accommodations we have tried before.
Again this year, we will have a SIGN-UP SHEET for you to schedule your bathing appointment time.
Please register on arrival to ensure a timely spot for preparation.
Contestants who sign an entry form to any of the competitions scheduled at INTERGROOM 2013 agree to abide by
the rules of good conduct that govern grooming contests and purebred dog shows. You have also agreed to "hold
harmless" the owner or lessor of the premises and you assume all the responsibility of any acts of your dog(s). The
Holiday Inn has put the following rules into effect to minimize future problems:
If you or your dog damage, destroy or steal hotel property, you are responsible to make restitution to the
satisfaction of the hotel. Behavior which could result in such action may be, but not limited to: stealing or
damaging towels or linens; improper clean-up after the dog; actual blow drying, clipping or scissoring in the
sleeping room (which is not allowed and subject to charges); causing destruction to room furniture (beds, dressers,
drapes, etc.); and/or failure to pay room charges.
These are serious problems.
Violations will be dealt with firmly.

Reiki is universal, shared, life force energy. Sharing Reiki with people, pets and
your surroundings brings a wealth of positive emotional and physical benefitsincluding the lessening of stress, a bond and understanding with things around
you, improved physical health, a feeling of balance and having clarity, lessening
the effects of physical ailments, working through emotional issues, and giving an
outlet to your deep personality, ability, and talents. Reiki is not only a healing
method, but a way for us to share in the universal gift of health and well-being
that we all can benefit from.
Sharing Reiki with your clients’ pets
and in your grooming salon brings
the values and benefits of all that
Reiki shares into your business and
into your role as a service provider.
Reiki in the salon and sharing Reiki
with pets will bring you to a greater
understanding, clearer communication, and greater appreciation for
those you share it with. It benefits the
environment you work in, those you
share it with, and it benefits you each time you share it.
This class will delve into the history of Reiki and give thorough instruction on how
to implement it into your business and into your life. Also in this class will be discussion on meditation, energy and chakra work and modalities, the legal and business side of Reiki services, and attaining a greater sense of self that can empower and grow you and your business career.

Building A Business And Making
A Good Living As A Dog Groomer
Presented by Daniel Guttman, MBA
Anybody who tells you that making a living as a dog groomer is easy is, if you’ll pardon the expression, shaving the truth.
No business is easy. But, as the saying goes, if you love what you do, you’ll never work another day in your life. I would therefore hope, that as a dog groomer you love the canine world and everything that goes with it. But loving dogs and having great
grooming skills, while necessary, is not sufficient for a successful business. Good business skills and training will shift the odds
considerably in your favor. Ask any dog groomer if they wished they had a business plan prior to starting their practice and if
they are honest, they will get on their haunches and bark a resounding YES, YES, YES. We will discuss what it takes to put a
top-notch business plan together, how it can be less daunting than at first glance, and even, dare I say it, fun. Since this is the
last presentation at Intergroom we will endeavor to give you plenty of reasons to stay awake and stick around.

Making Masterpieces out of Nightmares in Record Time!
Dave Campanella - Best Shot Pet Products
Let’s take a closer look at Dematting, Detangling, Deshedding. It’s no surprise the most strenuous and time-consuming physical activities groomers struggle with on a daily basis are de-shedding, de-matting and detangling. Many opinions, techniques, tools
and formulas attempt to help tackle these tough challenges, but do you really understand what’s going on from the hairs perspective to select the most effective approach. Dave will review demo video and images viewed with an electron microscope of hair
samples he has taken of mats, tangles and undercoat from several common coat types. The data presented provides keen
insights guiding you to a more effective approach towards combating these daunting tasks effectively. You will learn how to safely release more shedding and undercoat with little to no pre-brushing; minimize your effort; reduce stress; avoid muscle strain and
even injury to you and your client dogs. Ultimately you will learn to earn more “Making Masterpieces out of Nightmares in Record
Time!”

Nose to Toes
By Daryl Conner - Sponsored by “The Red Clipper Company”
There is one thing that every stylist should do to every pet when they greet them for grooming… a nose to toes evaluation
on every dog or cat. We’ll discuss common issues that groomers encounter; ear troubles, eye problems, skin issues, lumps, bumps,
critters, contusions and more. Dogs with medical problems can have behavior problems that go along with them. A dog experiencing pain or discomfort can be short tempered… and more apt to bite. Adding this step to your daily routine can help the pet,
the customer and YOU! Incorporating a good input evaluation while the owner is still present can be a huge help to groomers
while increasing your professional image. Learn how to evaluate coat condition, how to communicate with and educate your customers and more. For an added bonus, I'll teach you how to make dogs LOVE to come to be groomed. You will also take home
a helpful handout and the memory of an hour well spent!

The 10 Warning Signs of Cancer
Dr. Gerald S. Post
Pets have become members of our families and we want to insure that they live the longest and best lives they possibly can.
As we have taken better care of our dogs and cats they are indeed living longer; yet despite this, or perhaps because of this, cancer is one of the leading causes of death in pet dogs and cats. Some estimates suggest that greater than 50% of dogs over 10
years old will die of cancer. As a veterinary oncologist, Dr Post would like to give groomers some advice on what things to look
for in order to detect cancer in their client’s pets. The earlier you detect cancer the better your chance of effective treatment. The
10 warning signs of cancer in both dogs and cats will be discussed in full. Please understand that these are just potential warning signs and should not panic you, but prompt a suggestion to the client to see a veterinarian.
This important presentation gives us new perspective and is offered twice on Sunday for your benefit. It is a “must see” program.
