How to be an Indispensable
Groomer's Assistant

  
  
Every owner faces a choice when it comes to grooming.

They can come to you,
do the job themselves,
not have the pet groomed all...

...or go down the road to someone else.

Home Remedies for the Home
or Shop Groomer                   
   

 

Both of these award-winning stylists have been grooming dogs since they could walk.  Their mother and grandmother were professional pet breeders and groomers, and spent most of their extra time at dog shows.  They learned at an early age that products right from their own cabinets made the grooming process faster and easier.  Some of these home remedies were replaced with commercial products over the years, but there are times when you just have to work with what is available at home.  Don't miss this fun and informative lesson. The sisterly banter between these two will keep you chuckling while you learn.
