Transforming the Dog and Horse Grooming Industry: Insights from 37 Years of Experience

With nearly four decades of experience in the dog and horse grooming industry, I have always been passionate about driving positive change in the field. My expertise spans from skin and coat care to business development and tool and equipment management.

The dog grooming industry is rightly focused on breed standards and producing the best possible groom. However, as a someone who has been in this industry for some time, I noticed a significant gap in the knowledge and skills required to manage grooming tools. Specifically, many professionals lack the expertise to identify when a clipper blade isn't working or when it's time to replace the blade drive on a clipper. Additionally, they struggle with selecting the appropriate scissor for particular breeds.

In this workshop, I provide all the tools and know-how required to manage clipper blades, clippers, and attachment combs. I'll discuss what to do when these tools break down or when new blades aren't cutting as expected. The guide also includes a chapter on sharpening and maintenance, as well as guidance on selecting the right sharpening and servicing provider.

I hope you find this workshop informative and helpful in your grooming endeavours.
