Grooming the Westie Mix
with Jennifer Hecker, CMG
|
 | | Before |
Ever wonder what to do with the Westie mix when it walks through your salon doors? Seasoned professional pet stylist, Jennifer Hecker, gives you a great option. It's simple. It's stylish. But best of all, it's fast. It works for the groomer. It works for the dog. It works for the owner. We'd call that a win-win-win!
In this lesson, Jennifer gives you step-by-step directions on how to achieve this haircut. Not only does she do a fabulous job showing you how to do the trim, she also does a great job telling you what tools she's using along the way.
To get this Westie inspired look, Jennifer uses a clipper with guard combs, scissors, and a lot of thinning shear work for a very natural look.
Jennifer works in a high quality salon where she routinely grooms between 10 and 14 dogs a day. As Jennifer says, "I want my dogs to look as good as they can because they are a testament of my grooming." Having this kind
