We’re excited to announce our annual Dog Grooming Congress is returning in June!
This year’s event is sponsored by Simpsons Grooming Supplies and is taking place on Sunday 14 June 2026 from our training centre in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire.
Dog Grooming Congress aims to provide valuable knowledge and skills to both seasoned professionals and trainees in the dog grooming industry. It offers dog groomers the ideal opportunity to learn from award-winning dog groomers, network with fellow groomers and brush up on their professional skills.
