You know a pet stylist has grandchildren when she compares the shape of a Poodle puppy to "SpongeBob SquarePants." She was referring to the shape of the rear portion of the dog. SpongeBob? That's a new one...
The point Suesan Watson was trying to make is many times it's easier to create a square and then round off the edges later. That's how you start to give the dog some style.
In previous lessons, Sue has shown you how to bathe a pup with an abundant amount of coat, and how to groom the face, feet, and tail with a very close blade. In this lesson, she hand scissors the entire dog.
This lesson is full of little tricks to make grooming fast and easy. Sue gives you some great visuals to help establish the outline of the dog while enhancing the correct breed profile. She also shows you her preferred order of grooming. This is her personal system that allows her to groom any dog with ease.
We have broken this lesson into three chapters for you. By breaking it into these individual sessions, you will be able to focus quickly on the sections that most interest you. Or - sit down, relax, and enjoy the entire video lesson.
