Want to compete but don’t know where to start?
Too intimidated to compete with the top groomers?
Not ready to be judged but would love a critique?
Register today...the #1 rule is to have fun while you learn
The ODGA Novice Invitational is just that, a platform for groomers who are new to the competition world.
We know many of you want to try competition, but some are intimated by stepping into that show ring alongside award winning groomers.
Here is your opportunity to apply your skillset without pressure! Remember that even the top competitors had to start somewhere and felt just like you did.
Our board members and judge Marcia Strong will help guide you through the novice competition and provide critiques, along with Q&A's to get you feeling comfortable.
Our #1 Rule is to relax and have fun!
