b rusher / bather c ertificate p rogram

By 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 & 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 also 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, hair-splitting 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.)

Getting the Most Out of Your Bathing & 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, thoroughly clean and then dry 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 & is included in the Do-It-All admission or can be purchased separately. See Schedule & Registration for starting times & fees. Program includes Trade show on Fri., Sat. & Sun.

of pet grooming

By Jonathan David

Understanding Your Tools

How Structure & Anatomy Affect Your Grooming

Join Jonathan David for a complete understanding of the variety of scissors and thinning shears. This session will cover the terminology, edges, assemblies and their manufacturing process. Jonathan will also review the variety of brushes and combs, stripping and carding tools and how they are all used.

Structure and anatomy affect the balance and proportion of all dogs. Groomers sometimes need to "camouflage groom" or hide faults in the coats. This session will cover common structural faults encountered every day and how to hide faults to bring out the best features for a beautifully finished groom.

Relating Breed Standards to Pet Grooming

Techniques for Using Shears & Thinners This session will be a demonstration of technical skills using shears. Jonathan will demonstrate his wellknown thinning shear "Scissor Over Comb Technique".

He will also demonstrate straight and curved shears for scissoring curly coats and how to add contouring to your grooming for added style and flair.

In this session Jonathan will discuss and demonstrate ways to bring elements of breed profile grooming into your pet grooming. Jonathan will make suggestions on how to make the hair manageable for the owner, yet remain true to the integrity of the breed standard. He will show how to apply elements of pure breed trims to mixed breeds to create unique looks that satisfy every customer.

This program is four hours long & is included in the Do-It-All admission or can be purchased separately. See Schedule & Registration for starting times & fees. Program includes Trade show on Fri., Sat. & Sun.

This course is also an important part of the requirements for the AKC Safety in the Salon Certification. This salon certification gives salon owners a means to show their commitment to the health and safety of pets and in return receive valuable marketing support from the AKC.

How Do i Say that?

By Judi Cantu-Thacker Communication is one of the most important tools of a successful business.

Before you know it, you'll be using your newly acquired communication skills to help you through your toughest business issues and everyday life.

Sunday Mobile Scheduling: Time is Money!

Judi Cantu–Thacker Eff icient scheduling and routing will boost your income to make your business more profitable. Judi’s plan for scheduling and routing will help you optimize your work schedule. No more working weekends. Be home long before dinner. Plan vacations and schedule holidays off. Find the right clients in the right neighborhoods. More grooming + less driving = more money and fewer hours of work. That’s what I’m talking about!

Scissors 101: Understanding Your Shears Jonathan David Today’s stylists are faced with so many types of shears to choose from with so many options. With terms like bevel edge, semi–convex, convex edge, bent shank, offset, even handle, and the list goes on, the options can be dizzying. In this seminar, Jonathan will discuss the various types of edges available and what they’re designed for. Jonathan will also go over the various lengths and handle types available and the purposes for each type. Also included in this seminar is proper cleaning and maintenance recommended to extend the life of your most precious of tools.

Ways to Make More Money in Your Salon Shannon Moore There are only so many dogs we can groom in a day! Rather than squeeze more dogs into your day, Shannon will discuss ways to effectively sell add-ons in your salon. Organizational techniques, eff icient grooming, and add-ons are some of the topics that will be discussed in order to make more money in your salon.

Super Styling the Mixed Breed Jay Scruggs Jay will teach different thinning and blending techniques to achieve a natural looking finish on the mixed-breed. This demo will focus on adding personality to an average looking dog. Jay will demonstrate how to balance the head in with the rest of the body and how to set the length with clippers to cut out a lot of thinning and scissoring. This will help save you time with the finishing process.

My Pleasure: How to Give Great Customer Service Linda Easton & Jim Warner Great customer service starts with identifying your ideal client. Choosing the right client profile and inviting them into your salon is the best way to prevent diff icult clients. Dealing with diff icult clients begins with making wrong customers more "right." This class introduces the "My Pleasure" system of finding, training, and keeping great clients for your salon.

Table Techniques: Alternative Techniques for Handling Pets Cheryl Purcell Cheryl will show you tools and handling procedures to use with unruly pets. For instance: how to hold a foot to do nails or shave pads, how to hold a head still to get a cute finish, and more! This is not a seminar on how to handle aggressive pets, it is on how to work with young pets, old pets, and the untrained in order to make their life and yours easier.

The Grooming Tutor: The Bichon Frise Michell Evans Bichon Frise screams “big hair”! The show trim on this breed is one of the most over–the–top styles you could imagine. Many owners of the pet Bi-

Leader of the Pack Cheryl Purcell Learn how to be the pack leader of your salon—and not just with the dogs.

You need to be the pack leader of your employees and clients, too. Cheryl will teach you how to be an effective alpha without having to face a challenge at every turn.

Shih Tzu Kathy’s Way Kathy Rose Kathy will demonstrate a fluff y pet trim on the ever–popular Shih–Tzu.

This seminar is a must to keep your customers happy and coming back!
