There is a big difference between show grooming and pet grooming. In this lesson, award-winning stylist, Michell Evans, gives you a wealth of information on show grooming.
Earlier this year Michell groomed the pet Sheltie for our L2GD members. In this lesson, she shows you how to prepare a Shetland Sheepdog for the confirmation ring. As Michell says, "This breed is really dolled up." There are lots of different products used to get a very fancy look for the show ring. She talks about the variety of products typically used to get a dog
ring ready.
Michell discussed how to apply them and why they are important. She also shows you which tools work the best to get the correct look in a Shetland Sheepdog.
There are many great take away tips from this lesson regardless of whether you're working on a show dog or not. Many of the techniques Michell talks about can easily cross-over into other breeds with similar coat types. We have broken this lesson into three segments.
