THURSDAY

BRUSHER BATHER CERTIFICATE PROGRAM TERI DIMARINO

Your ability to do your job, and do it right, separates you from being “just a bather” to a position that contributes to the finished product in the salon. Teri believes that a good bath, brush and dry is 50% of a great groom. The bathing room is where most stylists started. Before future groomers begin to think of clipping coat, they must first know what to expect from the hair, and how to treat it to obtain desired results. Surprisingly, many great B/Bs remain in the bathing room, preferring the security of knowing there will always be a need for their expert services. Bathers-in-training, “groomer wannabes”, seasoned groomer techs and salon owners will benefit from this day-long program with tips on equipment and products to make the job easier. From getting the dog ready for the tub, to finding the right shampoo through proper bathing and blow-drying techniques, Teri will cover the B/B fundamentals. Safety issues and handling will be stressed.

TOOLS OF THE TRADE AND HOW TO USE THEM

From brushes and nail clippers, muzzles to grooming loops, Teri covers equipment basics, highlighting correct uses, in an effort to make the work easier and more comfortable for pet and bather. “These techniques and tools will make the finished groom a true work of art,” says Teri.

Anals and ears will be discussed.

DEMATTING… IT’S NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE

Everyone has a technique for dematting a neglected pet. For some, it’s a shave-down and then entering the pelt in a Mat Contest. For others, it’s a time-consuming, hairsplitting experience, destined to take its toll on the pet, the B/B or both. Teri examines the most common and effective products, tools and techniques for the demat dilemma without getting all tangled up.

WHAT’S IN THOSE BUBBLES???

SHAMPOOS, CONDITIONERS & SPRAY

Tocopherol, Ergocalciferol, Sodium Chloride. Teri takes a “groomers-eye” view of the stuff we use every day in language we can understand. Shampoos, sprays and conditioners are our most expendable items but, what do we really know to select the right product for our situation? (Those scary words are techno-speak for vitamin E, vitamin D and simple table salt, often found in many grooming products.)

ALL AMERICAN GROOMING SHOW 2015

GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR BATHING AND DRYING TIME

Bathing and drying are the most underestimated aspects of our jobs. Techniques can make or break a groom. The ability to properly apply products and thoroughly cleaning and then drying the pet will have a direct influence on the finish. You will hear about time-saving equipment and techniques.

This program is six hours long and is included in the Liberty Pass or can be purchased separately. See Schedule and Registration for starting times and fees. Program includes Trade show on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

WEEKEND TOPICS SATURDAY YOUR BUSINESS RUNS ON SHAMPOO STREAMLINING YOUR GROOMING PROCESS WITH LIQUIDS! DAVE CAMPANELLA

Let’s be frank. Your business runs on shampoo, and “Tub Time” is the most critical phase of the grooming process. The liquid products you use definitely impact your business’ success. There are products out there that do most of the hard work for you.

However these typically get overlooked, even though they save a ton of time, and time is money for grooming professionals. In fact, you may have some of these products in your salon right now staring you in the face! We will reveal these, what key ingredients to look for, discuss pH, the myths behind dilution rates, breakthrough conditioners, whiteners, deodorizers, facial washes and more. Most importantly we will reveal the best methods for using these products and how to actually “do more with less”.

A fresh perspective and “must see” for any salon owner, mobile business or start-up!

LOOKING OUT FOR #1!

GROOMER HEALTH ISSUES TERI DIMARINO

It’s no secret that pet styling is a physically demanding profession.

We like what we’re doing, and most of us hope for long grooming careers.

However, there are things that can make grooming uncomfortable at the very least, if not impossible.

Back, neck, and shoulder problems abound. Respiratory illnesses are not uncommon. Repetitive motion disorders plague us, and many oldtimers are wearing hearing aids. Many of us think we are “Super Groomers” 14

SHORT... BUT SWEET! KEEPING STYLE IN A SHORT CLIP! LISA LEADY

“I don’t like dogs that look like they are standing on sticks, just because the owner wants the pet short,” says Lisa Leady, a top competitive groomer and Groomer Has It Star. “Groomers need to show some style and ability, even on a pet grooming. “Styling is becoming a lost art, and I want to show groomers that you can still give a pet a short trim while maintaining a great look, appeal and showing some skill.”

See this top winning groomer really shine in pet trims.

WEEKEND TOPICS THE WORLD OF SHEARS RANDY LOWE

This program will be devoted to Shears. Here are just some of Randy’s topics: What are the differences in scissors? German style vs. Japanese style edges? What does Rockwell hardness mean?

You will learn what you can do at home, but you will not be actually working on equipment in this class.

AIRBORNE DISEASE CONTROL ANNETTE UDA

Grooming shops, pet boarding, and doggie daycare facilities are subject to outbreaks of airborne infections (such as K-9 Cough, Influenza, Distemper etc.) that can transmit between animals and to or from animals and humans. The control of these diseases depends on both surface cleaning and air cleaning and it is necessary to address both problems to control the spread of diseases. Air cleaning technology is addressed as a complement to surface disinfection for the control of zoonotic pathogens.

In this class you will learn which pet pathogens can transmit by the airborne route, which pet pathogens can transmit to humans, which human pathogens can transmit to other animals.

THINNING SHEARS, A GROOMERS BEST KEPT SECRET! JONATHAN DAVID

Jonathan believes thinning shears are one of his most useful cutting tools.

He executes entire haircuts on a variety of coat types using thinning shears alone. In this live dog demonstrationstyle seminar he’ll share his use of the “scissor over comb” techniques that he has learned and developed into his own personal style.

And with the use of thinning shears you can achieve any length trim without being limited to snap-on combs.

PROFILES OF SUCCESS: THE WHISKERS RESORT STORY MELISSA VERPLANK

This is a true story. How a small luxury pet resort started off as Melissa’s dream. In just 5 short years it grew to generating over a million dollars in sales annually. The occupancy rate consistently sat at over 100%. Holidays and weekends always had a bursting cancelation list – at times, over 200 guests on the list. In order to satisfy an ever growing clientele, an expansion was needed. In the fall of 2014, Whiskers Resort & Pet Spa grew from a 10,000 square foot facility to 30,000 square foot showcase pet care complex.

It has become a pet care resort that is heads and tails above most. Currently they offer; overnight lodging for dogs and cats, doggie day care, full service grooming and extensive canine training. In this lesson, Melissa walks you through its creation – and growing pains on its road to success.

Rescue Remedy and a chicken sandwich, we were back. Josh was regaining his strength, but we had sat out of the competition and lost valuable time. I wasn’t sure if I could complete him with the time I had left. Kathy Rose announced “scissors down” just as I added a couple feathers for a headpiece. After all that coat growth, I just didn’t have time to finish what I had planned. We still managed to get third place and the coveted People’s Choice Award. Lori again got first place, and the “Lion King” managed to remain undefeated.

I decided to go ahead and take the design to one more show: Atlanta Pet Fair. I just had to complete this design that I had worked so hard to perfect.

Just a couple weeks before Atlanta, my mother passed away; I was devastated.

I had no intentions of going anywhere, especially so soon after her death. My mother was my soul, my greatest fan, my seamstress, and my inspiration.

In the days before Atlanta, my entire family pushed me to go on and do what my mom would have wanted me to do. “She would want you to go, Angela!” is what my dad was telling me. I agreed to go but wasn’t sure if I would compete. I just wasn’t up to it.

The night before we left, I told my dad, “I will work on my dog, and if I can do it, I will. For my mom!”

It was time to get the dogs ready, and I am sure everyone thought I had lost my mind. I just kept talking to my mom while I was working on Josh, just like she was standing there. When I was done, I was so excited. It was beautiful, and win or lose, I was happy.

I pulled it together and completed the design; my mom would have been so proud. We won first place and People’s Choice.
