This lesson was amazing. And the dog was HUGE. At first glance you'd think this was at least a 3 to 4 hour job. Not with speedy Lisa Leady! In this video (which is shot in real time) Lisa shows you her best speed tricks. She gets this 130 pound Leonberger done in just 1 hour and 16 minutes! That's bath, dry, brush-out, and finish!! Once the clock starts ticking, we never shut down the camera, despite a few technical glitches! Lisa had her work cut out for her but watch as she get through this big guy, even getting a kiss towards the end! We've broken this lesson down in two sections for ease of viewing.
