THURSDAY Brusher / Bather Certificate Program with 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 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 and is included in the Do-It-All admission or can be purchased separately. See Schedule and Registration for starting times and fees. Program includes Trade show on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

pet professional first aid/CPR CERTIFICATION with Jill Pipino As a pet care professional, you want to be equipped with the skills to handle medical emergencies that arise while a pet is in your care. Whether a pet becomes ill, injured, or needs help in a disaster, this course will teach you how to respond.

In this four-hour interactive course, you will learn emergency care, how to stock a first aid kit, perform CPR, respond to breathing and heart emergencies (including choking), and disaster procedures, with some of these exercises being demonstrated on a live dog. This unique course is customized for pet care professionals and you will learn how to respond to emergencies specific to your industry. Upon completion of this course, you will receive a frameable certificate stating that you are certified in dog and cat First Aid & CPR. This program is four hours long and is included in the Do-It-All admission or can be purchased separately. See Schedule and Registration for starting times and fees. Program includes Trade show on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

THURSDAY Essentials of Pet Grooming Hour 1) Understanding Your Tools: 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.

Hour 2) Techniques for Using Shears & Thinners: This session will be a demonstration of technical skills using shears. Jonathan will demonstrate his well-known 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.

with Jonathan David

Hour 3) How Structure & Anatomy Affect Your Grooming: 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.

Hour 4) Relating Breed Standards to Pet Grooming: 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.

DYE WORK FOR CLIENTS

with Angela Kumpe & Adriane Pope

This two-hour class is all about dye work in the salon; time management, containing the mess, pricing, and procedure. Have you wanted to add color as a service in your salon, or tried coloring and thought it was too messy, too time consuming, or thought that customers just wouldn’t pay extra for it? Angela and Adriane will show you how to add coloring to your services without a mess or spending all day on a simple dye job. They will tell you what you need to get started and where to get it. They will also tell you how to market color to clients, price your coloring services, and manage time for color jobs. During the class they will explore a large variety of coloring products and show you many useful tips for everyday coloring. Angela and Adriane will prove their theories and techniques to you by demonstrating multiple dye jobs on multiple dogs in the classroom including application and rinsing techniques.

FRIDAY A Groomer’s Guide to

Pure Bred Dogs with Jennifer Bishop-Jenkins This fast-paced overview of the world of dogs will provide context, back story, and organizational models for groomers to better understand what we see every day in our canine clients. Recent scientific studies have revolutionized our understanding of dogs and their history as they have developed into the groups and breeds, the coat types, the anatomy, the amazing abilities, and the engaging behaviors of dogs that we see today. By the end of the day every groomer will have a deep understanding of, and powerful evidence for, the importance of the grooming profession.

Hour 1) Human/Dog Co-Evolution: Both Nature and Nurture combined to create the closest relationship of any two species on this planet —the unprecedented relationship between Humans and Dogs. Find out what we learned about breeds of dogs when the canine genome was fully mapped. What is a "purebred" dog and how does the recent fad of designer crossbreeds fit in to the bigger picture? What do most dogs actually look like and live like worldwide? Learn where dogs in all their vast variety of breeds came from and how their evolution and domestication may have been responsible for the very survival of humanity.

Hour 2) Groups, Breeds, and Coat Types: Why are dog breeds "grouped" into certain common functions, abilities, and even coat

types? How does the origin of the seven Groups help us better understand their grooming needs? What are the common dog coat types and how should each be groomed correctly? Why was each coat type created? This session will name and categorize over 200 breeds, and also help groomers learn about what dog shows are, how they can be accessed, and how groomers can benefit from them in their local areas.

Hour 3) Grooming the Coat Types: What tools, equipment, and grooming procedures are right and wrong for each type of coat? What differences exist between "pet" and "show" grooming for each of the coat types? This hour will systematically lay out correct grooming procedures based on the science about each coat type. Groomers will

learn the proper care of the most common and natural dog coat of all —the Double Coat!

Hour 4) Grooming Working and Herding Group Dogs: How did Working and Herding Group dogs contribute to the development of modern human economic systems?

Herding Group dogs are the agricultural specialists that broke off from the Working Group in 1983 and are among the smartest non-humans on earth. Their grooms are diverse, far beyond their "Bath/Brush" only stereotype. This session will cover breed by breed the specific grooming needs of each of the breeds and the coat types in these two groups.

We will end the day reflecting on all we learned about the importance of the grooming profession.

This daylong program is four hours long and is included in the Do-It-All admission or can be purchased separately. See Schedule and Registration for starting times and fees. Program includes Trade show on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. to groom faster, easier, and safer.

Hour 1) Introductions and Shaping Family Relationships: We’ll cover strategies to make your introductions count and communicate for collaboration with human clients.

Hour 2) Stress: What to Do About It: Define stress and its counterpart, with Terrie Hayward “relaxation.” We will talk about improvLearn how to set you, the dog, ing canine body language reading and and the family up to succeed.

havior and explore how a better understanding can translate to more effective grooming strategies. Also, with behavioral science on your side, you will be able to better explain to your human clientele how and why you elect certain techniques.

Hour 4) Happy Clients, Happy Business: We will discuss how creating a positive human/animal bond will improve your business and business goals. We’ll talk about translating satisfied, comfortable, and confident customers into dollars and a stellar reputation for groomers!
