In episode 4 groomers worked in teams of 3. The bottom 3 groomers voted off their own teammate, and the judges would only choose who left if there was a tie.
In episode 7 there was no Quick Sniff Challenge. Instead, the groomers had an Elimination Challenge where they had to choose a dog from the dog park, groom it, and then have a photo shoot for Groomer to Groomer Magazine.
In episode 9 there was no Quick Sniff Challenge. Instead, the groomers had to groom dogs from The Lange Foundation dog shelter and adopt them out.
Originally, the elimination challenge was to select one dog out of four from The Lange Foundation's Los Angeles dog shelter and adopt it out. The one that was last in finding a home for their dog would be sent home. After the adoption fair was over it was revealed that no one would be going home.
Episode 12 was a recap episode, showing never before seen clips and catching up anyone who hadn't seen the season.
In Episode 13 there was no Quick Sniff Challenge. Instead, the groomers had to groom 8 dogs in less than 12 hours, 7 from each regular show group and one "mutt" to showcase their creative ability.
The judges said that if Bill did not have immunity he would have been eliminated.
Bill was called before Huber, who then thought he was going home. It was then revealed that he was being "rescued" by the judges liked they had rescued the dogs at the animal shelter by helping them find new homes.
Danielle was originally in the bottom two, but Lisa used her save and switched Danielle with Huber.
