Bring On The Brachephalic Breeds! – Teri DiMarino
Anybody who has been “in dogs” for any period of time knows what a brachycephalic breed is. These dogs have short muzzles and broad heads and include such popular breeds as English Bulldogs, Boston Terriers and Shih Tzus, to name a few. These breeds come with their own set of issues that can cause problems, especially in the grooming process. Just washing the face of one of these breeds can be a challenge! Teri will focus on some of the problems unique to these breeds and how we can overcome these issues in the salon, sending out a clean, well-groomed dog with a sweet-looking and -smelling face.
Monday, 12PM-1PM ET

White Party but with Westies and Bichons – Jessica Uzetta
In pet grooming, clients often ask for breed standard facial expression because it is the face that represents the look of the breed the most. Here you’ll learn how to create the perfect Bichon head and how to achieve that round face on a Westie. Both breeds have round heads, but you have to apply different scissoring techniques to achieve that round look since these breeds have different types of hair. Both haircuts can be challenging in their own way, but will be way easier to execute after you learn a few tricks.
Monday, 6PM-7PM ET
