Hello, I'm a guardian and graduated a 2 year HGA some months ago. I joined with intention to better understand and support my dog and help him with his severe fear and aversion to grooming. I'm still considering if I should pursue an eduactional path and spread awareness of holistic grooming in Slovenia where I live, since world of canine professioals and guardians can be a really toxic one and I got to experience it first hand, so will see how I decide. But to me personally, HGA gave me an in depth insight in complexity of canine emotions and what contributes to fear and anxiety not only with grooming, but also in their life in general and opened so many areas thet I want to explore further. I love discovering more and more about it, gain more knowledge about it and support my dog even more. Thx Stephanie for letting me join HGA as a guardian in the first place and for your support all the way through it 🌿
