Week 1: Prep Work Instructional. Learn the tricks and tools of the trade for nail cutting, ear cleaning, brushing, dematting and deshedding. Also, learn basic dog anatomy and the many different dog coat types.*

Week 2: Washing and Drying Instructional. Learn about the many types of pet shampoos and coat conditioners. Also, learn the easiest and safest ways to dry a dog.*

Week 3: Identifying Skin Problems Instructional and Practical. Bathers/groomers are not qualified to diagnose problems. That is the job of a Veterinarian. But, bathers/groomers can certainly help make dogs feel better after being diagnosed or encourage owners to see a vet when a problem is discovered. Learn when to treat with special shampoos and when to send the dog directly to the vet.*

Week 4: Handling Difficult Dogs Instructional and Practical. Behavior problem or just old age? Know how to handle the dogs with special needs.*

Week 5: Finishing Trims Instructional. Bring a notebook! We will show the techniques that every groomer wants their bathers to have when trimming Goldens, Shelties, Pomeranians and other “natural” breeds.*

Week 6: Finishing Practical. All students attending all eight weeks with “intern” with a dog to prep, wash, dry and finish!

Week 7: Cat Grooming Instructional. Learn SAFE techniques for prepping, bathing and drying cats.*

Week 8: Cat Grooming Practical. Also learn a few finishing techniques to help the cat look fabulous.

(A workshop indicated with a *, may be taken as “stand alone” class.)
