INTERGROOM, INC.
76 Carol Drive
Dedham, MA. 02026
Welcome to Intergroom, 2012! Please read the catalog carefully so that you can better 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 major shows in the human beauty industry! The trade show hours are a little
different this year. These changes have all been implemented to make it easier for a busy groomer to attend the
entire event without having to close their salons on the busiest days of the work week. Check the catalog carefully for new trade show hours, times of educational classes and grooming competitions as well. Our Rising
Star & International Groomer of the Year Competitions begin on Saturday morning, continue on through
Sunday and conclude just prior to the presentation of Best in Show, which will be awarded on the Trade Show
floor on Sunday starting at 6:00PM. 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! In the afternoon the ever-popular “Creative Challenge Competition” will take
place so set aside time to enjoy the elaborate pet styling fabrications with color and sculpture limited only by
the amazing imaginations of the individual stylists.
As mentioned earlier, the trade show hours are changing. The new hours are:
10:00AM to 6:00PM on Saturday
10:00AM to 7:00PM on Sunday and
10:00AM to 4:00PM on Monday.
On Sunday, from 10:00AM to 1:00PM, we will have a special area on the Trade Show floor to display at least
ten different cat breeds in their show condition and in their “show decorated” display cages! This display is
brought to us by the members of the TICA Cat Club.
Sunday evening will offer dancing and live entertainment for everyone from 9:00PM until midnight on the second floor of the Holiday Inn with great music and friends! All attendees are welcome to join us. The evening’s
festivities are presented by the GIVE-A-GIFT Foundation and the prestigious Groomy Awards.
This year we have some of the country’s top professionals giving seminars throughout the show. Classroom
seminars, as well as on-the-floor platform demonstrations, will fill the weekend with quality education. Class
choices are clearly noted and explained in the catalog so please make your selections carefully before registering. This year we are making it possible to register on-line for educational classes and competitions as well as
our Free Trade Show registration.
Come, see and feel the excitement of INTERGROOM, 2012. Find yourself in the company of top pet stylists,
hundreds of products and industry leaders from around the globe all sharing their knowledge, techniques and
information to enhance your professional career.
We’re looking forward to seeing you there.

NOTICE TO INTERGROOM 2012 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 20th, until
5:00 pm on Monday, April 23rd. 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 2012 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.
Violations will be dealt with firmly.
These can be serious problems.

Reiki Level 1 Attunement Class
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.
