Who would like to compete in a FUN online grooming competition!!! 👀🐩✂️

I want to do something fun and give groomers a chance to compete without all the pressure of actually being in the ring!

There will be PRIZES, CERTIFICATES & ROSETTES!!! 🏆🎀

The categories will be:

🐩 Poodle

✂️ Freestyle

🎨 Creative

🪒 Handstrip

✨ Best Transformation

🌸 Best Asian Fusion

🐶 Best Pet Trim

ANDDDD if you are already competing at Hershey or Fun in the Sun, you can use the SAME DOG! Just take your before and after pictures and a short video and you can use those for the Grooming Outside the Ruff Online Competition! 🙌🏽

I really want to make this something FUN and not something that feels intimidating. I know how nervous it can be when you’ve never competed before, so this is a way to get your feet wet and just have fun with it! ❤️

Also, the money from this competition will go towards Diamond in the Ruff and help us with future events and our Educational & Training Program. So by participating, you’re also helping us continue to create opportunities for groomers and our community! 🐾❤️

Diamond in the Ruff will be doing our 1st Online Mock Dog Grooming Competition!

This is for beginner and experienced groomers who want to get use to the competition process and build that confidence before actually stepping into the ring.

You’re not actually in the ring, but this gives you the opportunity to practice, challenge yourself and get great feedback from judges and mentors so you know what you can improve on.

I want this to be a fun learning experience and help more groomers feel comfortable with competing.

More details coming soon!
