Award winning pet stylist, Lisa Leady works with a new, upcoming pet stylist. Anna Berning was the GroomTeam USA scholarship winner in 2011. She is passionate about becoming the very best she can be in the grooming world. Recently Anna was able to acquire a gorgeous black Standard Poodle from show stock.
In this lesson, Lisa works with Anna on her new Poodle. As Lisa says in the lesson, ‘There is no perfect dog out there, that’s OK.’ She works with Anna to pull out this dog’s best features while minimizing his faults.
The dog was recently cut down from a Continental Show Trim. He still has some growing out to do. As a L2DG.com member, you get to listen in as Lisa works one-on-one with Anna. They discuss how to bring out his conformation. The type of trim would work best for him in the pet grooming arena. She gives Anna great tips on how to time herself in the ring so she can finish within the allotted time. Plus, Lisa gives valuable insight on how to ‘see your dog’ in the ring before they call ‘scissors down.’
If you are thinking about certifying or entering the contest ring, this is a great lesson for you.
In this video you will learn:
• How to locate great dogs for contest or certification testing.
• Why we notice when things don’t balance.
• How to use reference points.
• How to create optical illusions with hair.
• What trim style to set on this dog.
