The North's Biggest Stage for Grooming Masterpieces

Master of Ceremonies

Jill Pipino

We are honoured to welcome Jill Pipino as the Master of Ceremonies for the TruNorth Grooming Show. Her expertise and unwavering dedication to the world of competition set her apart as a true leader in the field.

Jill has been a pet stylist for 27 years in upstate New York, where she owns her own salon. Throughout her career she has attended — and led — continuing education classes and workshops as both observer and instructor.

A former competitive dog groomer who showed her own dogs in the AKC ring, Jill found her most enriching experiences ringside and in the set-ups amongst friends. She left the competition floor as a competitor to become the ring announcer for Barkleigh Productions — and now brings that same warmth, professionalism, and command of the room to every TruNorth event.
