Reading To Your Dog

Welcome to My Holistic Dog Care Learning Space!

Hi, I’m Stephanie Zikmann—award-winning holistic dog groomer, author and educator. This is where I share free learning content on stress-free, animal-centred grooming and canine wellbeing.

Through my blogs, guides, and books, you’ll discover how behaviour science and low-stress handling can transform the way we care for dogs. My goal is to help you and your dog enjoy calmer, kinder grooming experiences—and if you’d like to take your learning further, I’ll guide you towards courses and resources at The Holistic Grooming Academy.
