Award winning pet stylist, Lisa Leady, takes up the challenge. The task? Grooming a year-and-a half old Springer Spaniel that has never been professionally groomed. On camera. We had no clue how this dog was going to react.
Winston did not disappoint us. You get to see two lessons rolled into one! Grooming and handling. By the first 10 minutes of the video, this young dogs starts to show his disenchantment with the grooming process. Lisa Leady never loses her cool. She calmly explains what the dog is doing as he is doing it. She gives reasons why he does some of the actions he is doing. As he accelerates in his dissatisfaction in the grooming process, she shows you ways to gently, but very effectively, stop the behavior.
Even though this dog is acting up, you can clearly see him come around to being a good boy on the grooming table with very calm actions and praise from Lisa. It didn’t take that long but she never gave up on this dog, nor did she ever raise her voice. She is able to do the completegroom, and explain it to you.
In this video you will learn:
• why opting to keep it natural is the best option for this coat type.
• how to work effectively with the Groomers Helper.
• how to NOT turn this dog into another groomers problem.
• how to define colored areas to accentuate structure.
• what parts of the dog do you use clippers.
