Foundation Skill Review:
Bathing & Drying a Young Show Poodle
with Suesan Watson, CMG
|
|
 Every high quality pet stylist knows that the foundation of every great groom stems from the perfect bath and blow out. These two core skills will make or break the finished haircut.
Suesan Watson presents a solid lesson on these foundation skills using a young Poodle destined for the AKC conformational show ring. Her mission is to preserve the coat while getting the dog super clean. She discusses what to look for in product selection. Sue also demonstrates techniques to get the dog squeaky clean and blown out to perfection.
We cannot stress enough how important the prep work is in the grooming process. All of our Training Partners at Learn2GroomDogs agree, you need to perfect the bath and blow-out if you want to:
- do well in the competition area
- successfully passing certification testing
- keep clients returning to your salon for their grooming needs
This is a super lesson to review if you - or your fellow team members - are weak in this area. Sue focuses on perfecting the bathing and drying foundation skills so every pet can leave your shop looking fabulous.
Approximate total running time: 24 minutes

NEW BLOG from Melissa Verplank

I've been in this business a long time. I've smelled my fair share of doggy stinks.
This one took the cake...
Let me tell you about the time my own dogs rolled in hurl-worthy gunk, and how it took my knowledge as a professional pet groomer to get the dogs back to their sweet-smelling selves.

Trimming a Light Coated Yorkie in a
Hand Scissored Layer Trim, Part 2
|
|
|
For this demonstration, Pina uses a Yorkie, however, this trim works well on other drop coated breeds such as Malteses, Shih Tzus, and mixed breeds. The entire trim is done using only two shears: a tiny pair of blunt nosed scissors and a pair of high quality blenders. This video is filmed as if you are in a private lesson right next to Pina. We have taken the camera off the tri-pod, moving around Pina as she grooms the dog. By filming in this style, you get the best views, just as if you were right there getting a personal lesson from one of the top stylists in the country.
Estimated Run Time:
37 minutes
