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
