Are you one of those groomers who get super frustrated with drop-coated breeds? You just can’t make the coat do what you want. It’s always choppy. Uneven. Sloppy. You just can’t get a good finish on it. For some of you, you might even say the coat is IMPOSSIBLE to deal with. You just CAN’T make it to look good!

Can any of you relate to this frustration with your everyday haircuts?

In this lesson, award winning pet stylist, Lindsey Dicken is working on one of these tough coats. Even Lindsay says, “getting perfection with this coat type is almost impossible.”

However, she has some tricks to share with you. You can get this coat to cooperate with you. You can make it look good. Cute. Super appealing.

In the lesson, Lindsey reminds us, Time = Money. Just because a coat is difficult to work with doesn’t mean takes a long time to do. Nope. With the right preparation, products, and tools, it doesn’t take any time to finish this soft and sweet haircut.
