Allison Alexander is a leading dog show handler, grooming expert, and mentor. She has won 750+ Best in Shows and has handled numerous dogs to Top Dog All-Breeds, and she shares her passion for dog showing through her educational platform, Leading Edge Dog Show Academy. Whether it's how to trim nails correctly, perfect a free bait, or manage a poodle in full show coat, she explains concepts clearly and thoroughly, allowing her audience to learn whatever their level or dog breed. The community she has built is truly exceptional.

This week my dog show friend Tiina Koskinen lends international flair to the show, as we talk about dog showing in the U.S., Finland, Estonia, Portugal, and other countries. Her standard poodles Dino and Daisy, who are experienced world travelers, are champions in both AKC and the FCI. She also owns OMGOSH Petware, a hair-saving biothane dog accessory brand.

Angie Cooke joins the show today to talk about her life in dogs. Lucky enough to grow up near Jody Paquette, she has been immersed in professional dog grooming and handling for years. She specializes in toys and drop-coated breeds, and her positive attitude is infectious!
