Cat Grooming
We will cover the various breeds of long and short hair cats, specific feline diseases and special nutritional needs. Basic difference between dog and cat grooming such as equipment, restraint, nail clipping, dematting, bathing and finishing will be discussed ( This section will be omitted in courses that do not train in cats).
Practical Experience
This is an integral part of the program with emphasis on skill and speed to enable the student to perform well in a professional atmosphere. In order to assure volume confidence you will be required to increase the amount of pets you will work on throughout the course. A student plan will be given to each student on the first day of class reflecting the stages of training that each student will go through. Finishing techniques will be discussed and demonstrated by the instructor and then applied by the student. Emphasis will be placed on making each dog a proper representation of its breed. The student will also learn how to translate a clients wishes and needs into a professional and suitable clip. The professional
pet groomer will see a lot of mixed breeds in his career. The student will learn how to groom these pets so that they look their best and their owners will be pleased.
**Students that take the Poodle and/or Mixed Breed Course will direct all practical time to the breed or category specified in the course description.
