📣 A Quick Update from Angie & Bryce at LA Sharpening

Hey everyone!

If you’re planning on sending sharpening in for Master Groom Canada, please get it to us as soon as possible because we’re running out of time!

For whatever reason, this year has been absolutely crazy. Normally this time of year things slow down, but this year has been the complete opposite. We definitely can’t complain—we’re incredibly grateful—but we do want to give everyone a heads-up.

As of right now, once your order comes through our door, please expect 5–7 business days before we’re able to start working on it. If that changes, we’ll be sure to let everyone know.

One thing we’ve always believed is that quality sharpening takes time because good work takes time. We could rush through everyone’s equipment and get it back out the door faster, but that’s simply not how we do things.

If your number one priority is the fastest turnaround possible, there are other sharpeners who may be able to help you sooner. Our priority has always been doing the job right the first time and making sure your equipment leaves here performing the way it should.

Please don’t panic if you don’t hear from us right away, and please don’t call or text frustrated because your order hasn’t been started yet. We promise we’re both working as hard as we can, every single day, to get caught up while still giving every order the attention it deserves.

❤️ And finally… thank you.

If it wasn’t for all of you, LA Sharpening simply wouldn’t be where it is today. Every order you send us, every recommendation you make, every kind word, and every bit of patience has helped us build this business into what it is.

From the bottom of our hearts, Bryce and I truly appreciate each and every one of you. We don’t take your trust for granted, and we’re grateful that you’ve chosen us to look after your equipment.

We honestly have the best customers around, and we’ll continue working hard every day to earn that trust.

Thank you for supporting our small family business.

❤️ Angie & Bryce

Have you ever watched a professional dog grooming competition?

Most people haven’t.

This isn’t a traditional dog show. It’s a showcase of artistry, where some of the world’s best professional groomers transform dogs right before your eyes. The level of skill, precision and creativity is incredible, and it’s something you really have to see in person to appreciate.

Mastergroom Canada is your chance to experience a world that most people never get to see.

If you’re a dog owner, you’ll also enjoy exploring a trade show filled with companies that are passionate about helping you care for your dog. From grooming tools, shampoos and coat care products to health, nutrition and pet accessories, you’ll have the opportunity to meet industry experts, ask questions and discover products that can make life easier for both you and your dog.

Throughout the weekend, internationally acclaimed groomers will be presenting live demonstrations, sharing practical tips on brushing, bathing, coat maintenance and keeping your dog looking and feeling their best between grooming appointments. It’s a wonderful opportunity to learn from some of the very best in the world.

Whether you’re a dog lover, breeder, exhibitor, or simply curious about the fascinating world of professional grooming, we’d love to welcome you.

Join us July 24–26 at the Parkland Pavilion, Westerner Park in Red Deer.

Trade show and competition viewing passes are just $15 per day at the door.

I promise you’ll leave with a whole new appreciation for the art, skill and passion behind professional dog grooming. I’d love to see you there!

🎓 A Little Late Posting This, But Better Late Than Never!

One thing I have always believed is that continuing to learn and expand your knowledge is essential. Just like professional dog groomers and hairstylists invest in ongoing education through seminars, workshops, and trade shows, sharpeners need to do the same—especially as technology, materials, and manufacturing processes continue to evolve.

I am proud to have completed Above Edge 2026 in Las Vegas. It was an incredible opportunity to learn from some of the most talented sharpeners in the industry and connect with a community that genuinely supports one another.

A huge thank you to Alex Lee, Dennis Brooks, and Jim O’Donnell for sharing their knowledge and experience. A very special thank you goes out to Sean Pangborn and his wife Tami. Sean took the time to share some extra tips and techniques he uses in his own sharpening business, and they were gracious enough to chauffeur us around Vegas as well!

And of course, I can’t forget my partner-in-crime for the trip, Nicole Huntley of Mountain View Sharpening. Every Vegas adventure needs a good friend to share it with!

One of the things I appreciate most about this industry is that while we may all be competitors on paper, we are also a community. We learn from each other, support each other, and help one another improve our craft.

I’m excited to bring what I’ve learned back to the shop and continue improving the services we provide to our customers. Learning never stops, and that’s what helps us stay at the top of our craft.

🍃 DOGMA DETOX SHAMPOO 🍃

One of my personal favorites for my own dog! 🐾

If you’re looking for a shampoo that leaves the coat feeling incredibly clean without being harsh on the skin, DOGMA Detox Shampoo is a fantastic choice. Infused with Green Tea & Mint, it provides a deep cleanse that helps remove dirt, buildup, and environmental impurities while leaving the coat feeling fresh, soft, and revitalized.

✔ Deep cleansing formula
✔ Refreshing Green Tea & Mint scent
✔ Gentle on skin and coat
✔ Helps remove buildup and odors
✔ Suitable for regular grooming maintenance

Available in 3 convenient sizes:
📦 250 mL
📦 1 L
📦 4 L

This is one of the shampoos I find myself reaching for time and time again on my own dog because it leaves the coat feeling clean, fresh, and manageable without over-drying.
