BRUSHER / BATHER

CERTIFICATE PROGRAM by 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 & 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–con-

suming, hair–splitting 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.) Getting the Most out of Your Bathing & 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, thoroughly clean, and then dry the pet will have a direct influence on the finish. You will hear about time–saving equipment and techniques.

FRIDAY EVENING SEMINARS The Fourteen Coat Types and How to Correctly Groom Them by Jennifer Bishop–Jenkins While there has never been an official list of dog coat types for the grooming industry, maybe there ought to be! While individual dogs vary even within breeds, knowing what tools and techniques are appropriate to the coat type presented to you for grooming is essential. Jennifer has identified and compiled the fourteen distinct coat types that require specific and separate grooming strategies and equipment. Each one has “Do’s and Don’ts” based on the actual scientific, genetic, and physical structure of the hair or fur of that type dog. Learn how to groom each coat type based on the best practices for those breeds. All coat types fall into two general genetic categories – Hair and Fur. Hour 1) Hair: This first hour goes in–depth on “Hair” coat types, and the matting that

goes with them. Combination coats that have the problems of both will also be addressed. Hint: some rhyme with “oodle”. Half of all dogs have a double coat. Hour 2) Fur: Learn to separate the “matting” from the “shedding” in the Twelve Coat Types’ second hour. We will deep dive into “Fur” Coat types and best practices for their unique care. We will address and resolve any remaining controversy about the proper care of the double coat. Other coat types also shed in different ways. We will identify the most effective equipment, tools, and techniques for each of the Coat Types. After this seminar, you will be able to set yourself apart as the groomer in your area that is an expert on differing canine coat types and their proper care.

Understanding the Functions of Successful Management by Joe Zuccarello Making sense of management challenges is easier than one may think. The trick? Understand a manager’s role in the development and implementation of key strategies through four distinct management techniques. Proven to be successful, functions such as planning, organizing,

controlling and leading have a long–lasting effect on the health of the business and the retention of staff. In this session, Joe will point out a systematic approach to management and provide direction that can be implemented immediately in any environment.

Asian Style Trims for the Everyday Groomer by Joshua Morales In this seminar, Joshua will show you how to make the Asian style practical and prosperous for your business.

This will keep things fun and fresh.” Preceding the Awards will be the elegant E–Z Groom Abstract Creative Runway competition. A special lighted catwalk will be constructed for this event.

LOCATION

HERSHEY LODGE & CONVENTION CENTER A warm welcome awaits you at The Hershey Lodge, the beautiful resort that is home to Groom Expo. It is one of the experiences that makes our event so special. When you enter the lobby, you will be drawn to the massive stone fireplace. Post and beam ceilings, stonework, and comfortable furniture pay homage to Hershey’s rural Pennsylvania Dutch heritage and make this lobby a memorable place to meet, greet, gather and relax. At night, you will enjoy the deluxe rooms, with regional decor and Hershey’s Kisses on your pillow. Restaurants and lounges offer a varied selection of cuisine. Start your day with coffee from the Cocoa Beanery. Embrace casual dining at Fire and Grain’s Bar or steaks at The Hershey Grill. The Forebay, Bear’s Den and Lobby Lounge are places to “talk dog” or wind down after a day of seminars. Close to The Hershey Lodge, a multi–million dollar spa joins the great amenities. An airport shuttle from Harrisburg International Airport is available with 24–hour reservation. There is a charge for the shuttle. No pets are permitted at the Lodge or Show. Dogs involved in the contest and demonstrations may stay in the secure dog holding area. Request information from Barkleigh.
