INTERGROOM, INC.<br />
76 Carol Drive<br />
Dedham, MA. 02026<br />
Dear Pet Grooming Professional:<br />
Welcome to <strong>Intergroom</strong>, 2013! Please review our new catalog carefully so that you can best benefit<br />
from everything <strong>Intergroom</strong> has to offer!<br />
For starters, our three day convention, trade show and grooming competitions are held on SATUR-<br />
DAY, SUNDAY and MONDAY, just like the shows in the human beauty industry! Check the catalog<br />
carefully for trade show hours, times of educational classes and grooming competitions as well. Our<br />
Rising Star and International Groomer of the Year competitions begin on Saturday morning, continue<br />
on through Sunday and finish right before Best in Show, which will be presented on the trade show<br />
floor on Sunday evening, starting at 5:30PM. Monday morning brings the incredible “Extreme<br />
Makeover Competition” featuring dogs with a minimum of four months of hair growth. The unique<br />
“Feline Fantasy Competition” will be held in the adjacent ring area and, in the afternoon, the ever<br />
popular “Creative Challenge Competition” will take place. So, set aside time to enjoy these elaborate<br />
pet styling fabrications with color and sculpture limited only by the amazing imaginations of the individual<br />
stylists.<br />
Competitors: Please check the rules carefully as quite a few changes have been made this year in<br />
competition times and eligibility.<br />
Once again, we are featuring some of the country’s top professionals presenting seminars throughout<br />
the show hours. Classroom seminars and demonstrations will fill the weekend with quality education.<br />
Class choices are clearly noted and clarified in the catalog so, please, make your selections carefully<br />
before registering. You may register on-line, at the <strong>Intergroom</strong> website (www.intergroom.com) for<br />
educational classes and competitions as well as our Free Trade Show registration.<br />
Come, see and “feel” the excitement of INTERGROOM, 2013. Find yourself in the company of top<br />
pet stylists, hundreds of products and industry leaders from around the globe all sharing their knowledge,<br />
technique and information to enhance your professional career and your <strong>Intergroom</strong> experience.<br />
We’ll see you there.<br />

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

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

Importance of Good Web Design<br />
Chris Ferrari - *Sponsored by 1-800-Groomer*<br />
The initial seminar will focus on the importance of good design in relation to current SEO and marketing strategies for highest<br />
conversion rates. Mainstreethost understands how to effectively design a website based on metrics gathered through numerous<br />
redesign/development projects over the last several years. Our intent is to inform the audience that marketing alone will not<br />
suffice in the current internet climate. Design, Online Marketing, and Social Networking should run in tandem for optimal results.<br />
We will inform our audience on the topics listed below.<br />
• Immediately establish credibility with your visitors<br />
• Create brand identity that your clients associate with trust<br />
• The visual impact of your site leaves a lasting impression<br />
• Encourage people to return to your website<br />
• Services and contact information are easily found<br />
• Website is easy to navigate<br />
• Current design and development trends keep your site a cut above the rest<br />
• Higher conversion rates and lower bounce rates<br />
Building A Business And Making<br />
A Good Living As A Dog Groomer<br />
Presented by Daniel Guttman, MBA<br />
Anybody who tells you that making a living as a dog groomer is easy is, if you’ll pardon the expression, shaving the truth.<br />
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<br />
hope, that as a dog groomer you love the canine world and everything that goes with it. But loving dogs and having great<br />
grooming skills, while necessary, is not sufficient for a successful business. Good business skills and training will shift the odds<br />
considerably in your favor. Ask any dog groomer if they wished they had a business plan prior to starting their practice and if<br />
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<br />
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<br />
last presentation at <strong>Intergroom</strong> we will endeavor to give you plenty of reasons to stay awake and stick around.<br />

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

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

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

PLEASE REMEMBER:<br />
Many groomers with diverse interests attend INTERGROOM. To give you an opportunity to see as many of your choices as possible, and to<br />
attend the trade show, we have scheduled Continuing Education sessions all day on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Since attending every class<br />
is impossible, it is important to select the seminars that are of most interest to you. Please check the “Educational” Course Descriptions pages<br />
for details on the above presentations before selecting your classes and filling out your Registration Form. Space will be limited. Reserve early.<br />
