First impressions are everything in the art of grooming. The first thing your client should see when the dog is groomed is a great expression. In this informative seminar, Sue and Jay will take you through the grooming steps of different face styles. Sometimes a whole groom can be transformed by just changing the head style.

Great groomers aren't automatically great trainers—teaching is its own skill. Drawing from experience training dozens of groomers and mentoring multiple coaches, this class gives you a proven framework you can put to work immediately. You'll learn how to break complex techniques into teachable steps, use video as a built-in training tool, and give trainees a clear 30/60/90-day roadmap. Just as importantly, you'll learn to read the people in front of you—the cautious watcher, the eager diver, the questioner who needs the "why," and the anxious learner who shuts down under pressure. You'll leave with concrete strategies for each, so no trainee gets left behind.
