THURSDAY

BRUSHER BATHER CERTIFICATE PROGRAM TERI DIMARINO

Your ability to do your job, and do it right, separates you from being “just a bather” to a position that contributes to the finished product in the salon. Teri believes that a good bath, brush and dry is 50% of a great groom. The bathing room is where most stylists started. Before future groomers begin to think of clipping coat, they must first know what to expect from the hair, and how to treat it to obtain desired results. Surprisingly, many great B/Bs remain in the bathing room, preferring the security of knowing there will always be a need for their expert services. Bathers-in-training, “groomer wannabes”, seasoned groomer techs and salon owners will benefit from this day-long program with tips on equipment and products to make the job easier. From getting the dog ready for the tub, to finding the right shampoo through proper bathing and blow-drying techniques, Teri will cover the B/B fundamentals. Safety issues and handling will be stressed.

TOOLS OF THE TRADE AND HOW TO USE THEM

From brushes and nail clippers, muzzles to grooming loops, Teri covers equipment basics, highlighting correct uses, in an effort to make the work easier and more comfortable for pet and bather. “These techniques and tools will make the finished groom a true work of art,” says Teri. Anals and ears will be discussed.

DEMATTING… IT’S NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE

Everyone has a technique for dematting a neglected pet. For some, it’s a shave-down and then entering the pelt in a Mat Contest. For others, it’s a time-consuming, hairsplitting experience, destined to take its toll on the pet, the B/B or both. Teri examines the most common and effective products, tools and techniques for the demat dilemma without getting all tangled up.

WHAT’S IN THOSE BUBBLES??? SHAMPOOS, CONDITIONERS & SPRAY

Tocopherol, Ergocalciferol, Sodium Chloride. Teri takes a “groomers-eye” view of the stuff we use every day in language we can understand. Shampoos, sprays and conditioners are our most expendable items but, what do we really know to select the right product for our situation? (Those scary words are techno-speak for vitamin E, vitamin D and simple table salt, often found in many grooming products.)

ALL AMERICAN GROOMING SHOW 2015

GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR BATHING AND DRYING TIME

Bathing and drying are the most underestimated aspects of our jobs. Techniques can make or break a groom. The ability to properly apply products and thoroughly cleaning and then drying the pet will have a direct influence on the finish. You will hear about time-saving equipment and techniques. This program is six hours long and is included in the Liberty Pass or can be purchased separately. See Schedule and Registration for starting times and fees. Program includes Trade show on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

PROFILES OF SUCCESS: THE WHISKERS RESORT STORY MELISSA VERPLANK

This is a true story. How a small luxury pet resort started off as Melissa’s dream. In just 5 short years it grew to generating over a million dollars in sales annually. The occupancy rate consistently sat at over 100%. Holidays and weekends always had a bursting cancelation list – at times, over 200 guests on the list. In order to satisfy an ever growing clientele, an expansion was needed. In the fall of 2014, Whiskers Resort & Pet Spa grew from a 10,000 square foot facility to 30,000 square foot showcase pet care complex. It has become a pet care resort that is heads and tails above most. Currently they offer; overnight lodging for dogs and cats, doggie day care, full service grooming and extensive canine training. In this lesson, Melissa walks you through its creation – and growing pains on its road to success.

Rescue Remedy and a chicken sandwich, we were back. Josh was regaining his strength, but we had sat out of the competition and lost valuable time. I wasn’t sure if I could complete him with the time I had left. Kathy Rose announced “scissors down” just as I added a couple feathers for a headpiece. After all that coat growth, I just didn’t have time to finish what I had planned. We still managed to get third place and the coveted People’s Choice Award. Lori again got first place, and the “Lion King” managed to remain undefeated. I decided to go ahead and take the design to one more show: Atlanta Pet Fair. I just had to complete this design that I had worked so hard to perfect. Just a couple weeks before Atlanta, my mother passed away; I was devastated. I had no intentions of going anywhere, especially so soon after her death. My mother was my soul, my greatest fan, my seamstress, and my inspiration. In the days before Atlanta, my entire family pushed me to go on and do what my mom would have wanted me to do. “She would want you to go, Angela!” is what my dad was telling me. I agreed to go but wasn’t sure if I would compete. I just wasn’t up to it. The night before we left, I told my dad, “I will work on my dog, and if I can do it, I will. For my mom!” It was time to get the dogs ready, and I am sure everyone thought I had lost my mind. I just kept talking to my mom while I was working on Josh, just like she was standing there. When I was done, I was so excited. It was beautiful, and win or lose, I was happy. I pulled it together and completed the design; my mom would have been so proud. We won first place and People’s Choice.

Like a teacher, now you can grade each pet from an A+ to an F. Did you ever forget to convey important information to your client? A time-saving checklist of common recommendations is included, with space for your personal comments. Plus, it doubles as a reminder or appointment card. Great promotional tool, too — your clients will tell their friends about your “caring” pet report card.
