Grooming a Natural Backed
Pet Springer Spaniel Combined with
Gentle & Effective Handling Skills
with Lisa Leady, CMG
|
|
Award winning pet stylist, Lisa Leady, takes up the challenge. The task? Grooming a year-and-a half old Springer Spaniel that has never been professionally groomed. On camera. We had no clue how this dog was going to react.
Winston did not disappoint us. You get to see two lessons rolled into one! Grooming AND handling. By the first 10 minutes of the video, this young dog starts to show his disenchantment with the grooming process. Lisa Leady never loses her cool. She calmly explains what the dog is doing as he is doing it. She gives reasons why he does some of the actions he is doing. As he accelerates in his dissatisfaction in the grooming process, she shows you ways to gently - but very effectively - stop the behavior.
Even though this dog is acting up, you can clearly see him come around to being a good boy on the grooming table with very calm actions and praise from Lisa. It took a while, but she never gave up on this dog - nor did she ever raise her voice. She is able to do the complete groom - and explain it to you.
Approximate total running time: 41 minutes

Ten-Year Anniversary of Notes From the Grooming Table - Time for an Update!
|
|
|
Where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday Lisa and I were buried within the creation of Notes From The Grooming Table.
Notes was designed to be a reference guide for the professional pet groomer.
With every breed, I identified the "correct" grooming method for the AKC confirmation show ring. However, in the book, I gave basic pet grooming directions and how to maintain the integrity of the breed using pet grooming techniques with clipper's and scissors.
