Grooming a Bedlington Terrier
with Suesan Watson, CMG

 

If you want a breed that will test your grooming skills, this is the dog you're looking for: the Bedlington Terrier. Suesan Watson says, "The Bedlington has one of the most difficult coats of all breeds to work on. If you can master this coat type, you can scissor any breed." Suesan should know - she's a third-generation professional pet stylist. Her career has crossed the AKC confirmation show ring and the competitive grooming arena.

 

In this lesson, Sue demonstrates how to do a show styled Bedlington Terrier. She begins with flat work using clippers with a short attach-on metal guard comb. Once the clipper work is complete, she moves on to scissor work.

 

Throughout the entire lesson, she talks about how to get this unique look typical of the Bedlington Terrier. They are one of the few breeds that you want them to look racy and slab sided. Instead of a nice round cat type round foot, the Bedlington has a hare foot, a rat tail, and a lamb styled head. All these items make the Bedlington Terrier both fun and a challenge to groom correctly.

 

Sue walks you through step-by-step. Her directions and demonstrations are easy to follow.  The camera work on the headpiece is exceptional. If you had any questions on how to do a Bedlington before this grooming lesson, all your questions should be answered by the time you finish watching the video.

 

We have broken this lesson apart into four sessions (A through D) for easy viewing. Make sure to scroll down and catch the entire lesson as you complete each section.

Day Care (for Free, Anyway)

 
  
A salon owner recently asked me how I would handle a situation we all face.  What do you do when pet owners drop their dogs off for grooming that should only take 2 to 3 hours and expect you to keep them all day - at no additional cost?

 

Here's what you do...
