THURSDAY SEMINARS

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. Bathersin-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 also 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, 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 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, thoroughly clean and then dry 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 Do-It-All admission or can be purchased separately. See Schedule and Registration for starting times and fees. Program includes Trade show on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

AKC S.A.F.E. GROOMING CERTIFICATION PROGRAM Susan Sholar

The American Kennel Club recognizes that grooming is important to the overall health, comfort and well-being of pets. Setting the standard in grooming safety to ensure these needs are met for all pets in salon, The AKC is proud to offer the Safety in Salons Certification Program to groomers and salons. As reputable and quality pet care professionals, groomers should consider the safety and welfare of the pets entrusted to their care. The Safety in Salon course will review best practices focusing on pet care, health, and safety. Topics covered include accident avoidance, disease awareness, and sanitation. All groomers who attend will be eligible, at no additional charge, to become AKC Safety Certified Groomers and receive a frameable certificate and other great benefits. This course is also an important part of the requirements for the AKC Safety in the Salon Certification. This salon certification gives salon owners a means to show their commitment to the health and safety of pets and in return receive valuable marketing support from the AKC.

MAKING POOCHES PERFECT WITH CREATIVE GROOMING Angela Kumpe and Adriane Pope with special guest Jayne Gallagher

If you have ever wanted to learn creative, now is the time! Many of your clients have seen what is possible on TV shows like ABC's "Pooch Perfect" and HBO's "Haute Dog" and "Well Groomed" and have gotten a taste of creative grooming. The odds are you have already been asked about these shows by some of your clients. The time to add a new product or service is always while it is in demand. Adriane Pope and Angela Kumpe will be showing you how to incorporate creative styling into your salon or mobile. They will cover all the techniques and tools used to get those "as seen on TV" looks. Two of the top creative stylists will show you how to help your clients choose a design, what products to use, quick and easy ways to add a pop of color or a simple pattern, marketing creative services and much more. If that's not enough, you will have the chance to meet one of the stars of ABC's Pooch Perfect! A creative Q&A session with Jayne Gallagher will be held at the end of the seminar so you can ask them all of your burning questions. INTERGROOM 2022

THURSDAY SEMINARS

SUPER STYLING DROP-COATED BREEDS Sue Zecco and Jay Scruggs

We see more drop-coats in our shop than almost any other coat type. Each drop-coat has a different texture and, no more using scissors on a drop-coat! In this demonstration, Jay and Sue will show you how to get a more natural look by using snap-on combs and thinning shears. Whether you groom Lhasas, Malteses, Yorkies, or Shih-Tzus, this demo will help you achieve better results with the use of new tools and the right pair of thinners. They will discuss how thinning shears help as a key part of a groomer's toolbox as well as which thinning shears to use on different coat types. This pet trim will be short yet stylish while still leaving a natural finish.

Let's get it On!...Online that is Cheryl Purcell

In this all-day, interactive seminar to help you build a better web presence, we will work on your website, Facebook page, Instagram and Twitter accounts, and learn how to integrate them. This is often something that we don't think about as groomers, but it's more than just posting pictures on Facebook and Instagram. Learn how to use popular search engines like Google and Bing to your advantage, as well as Yelp. We will also do a step-by-step website set-up, so bring your laptop or tablet and a domain name if you want to build a website as we go through the steps.

THURSDAY EVENING Asian Fusion 101 Olga Zabelinskaya

Asian Fusion is a very popular, innovative, one-of-a-kind, "different" way of dog grooming. Olga will show you and explain how to make your or your customers' dogs look like a baby doll, teddy bear or stuffed animal. Japanese or Asian style of grooming helps to "sell" your grooms, attract new customers, and bring your grooming ability one step up to a creative way of dog grooming. Feline Safety Grooming Certificate Course Dana Chavez-Rey

In this two-hour, interactive course you will learn how to stock a versatile feline grooming kit. Dana will also go over the right questions to ask a new client and how to safely and effectively evaluate a feline.

FRIDAY SEMINARS

POODLE PANEL Poodle Perfect

The Encyclopedia of Dogs

Jennifer Bishop-Jenkins We have chosen to make the noble and rewarding task of caring for dogs our life's work. Yet, science has dramatically changed what we know about the dog in recent decades. The in-depth information in this engaging and compelling program will be transformative—not only in how we view the dog—but in everything related to how we interact with them. This fourhour class will equip you with information and insight rarely available outside the academic setting. We will address a wide variety of topics from A to Z, from Anatomy to Zoonotics, to include: Anatomy, Breeds, Coat types, Domestication, Evolution, Functions, Grooming needs, Handling, Mixed breeds, Nutrition, Origins, Pelage, Skin care, Training, eXercise, and Zoonotics. These discoveries give us practical ways to better manage the all-important interspecies relationship we experience in our everyday work. You will not want to miss this fascinating and easy-to-understand look into the world of dogs.

Blake Hernandez Poodle trims and balance are what we compare all other trims to. Master a Poodle and most other breeds will come much easier. In this class, Blake will show you how to see through the hair and know exactly where you will end up from the moment you lay eyes on your subject. Show, pet, retro...no matter the style, it's right up his aisle. Blake is Poodle Perfect!

Poodle in a German Trim

Diane Betelak It's not just shaving the ears and tail! We will discuss getting the hair off fast while still leaving some style and shape. Balance and corrective sculpturing will also be discussed because not all Poodles are built the same and taking the tail and ears down changes the profile. Diane will use comb attachments, scissors and other tools to show you how to create a Poodle that will "WOW!" your clients.

INTERGROOM 2022

Poodles in Black & White Macie Pisa Learn the ABC's of Poodle grooms with GroomTeam member Macie Pisa. Before starting the groom, it is important to learn the dog's unique shape and create a plan. This live demo will go over the basics of structure, angles, and achieving a balanced cut that compliments the dog's conformation.

Grooming difficult feet, achieving a beautiful topknot, and getting that overall balanced look are not the easiest tasks in the world. Sue will demonstrate techniques and short cuts, provide timesaving tips, and show you how to do quick and stylish everyday pet trims.

Flea Free

In many areas of the country, flea control is a year round necessity. In conjunction with cont inuing premise control, many pet own ers have great success with oral or topical prod ucts that are administered once a month to their pet. The y come in a variety of brands like - Advantage ®, Frontline®, Revolution®, and Program®. There are specific form ulations for dogs and cats, and most are approved to use on puppies and kittens six to eight weeks and olde r. Read and follow the instructions, making sure to use the product that is specified for your pet. These products are extremely popular because of their once a month convenience, ease of application, and effectiveness. Most are waterproof, allowing your pet to be bathed, or to swim, without decr easing the product’s effectiveness. Also, keeping your pet flea free with this continuous protectio n, is far less costly than trying to eliminate an infestation on your pet and in your home.

These quality brochures not only answer the constant questions you get from pet owners, but they will also help you sell products that work and that you personally believe in – products that you retail. They will teach your client how to care for their pet between groomings, which will save you lots of time. Great promotional tools as well! MIX & MATCH PACKS OF 100 WHEN ORDERING 1000!

Bring on the Brachycephalic Breeds! Teri DiMarino

Anybody who has been "in dogs" for any period of time knows what a brachycephalic breed is. These dogs have short muzzles and broad heads and include such popular breeds as English Bulldogs, Boston Terriers and Shih Tzu's, to name a few. These breeds come with their own set of issues that can cause problems, especially in the grooming process. They can have breathing problems, they do not handle heat well and those facial wrinkles need special care to keep them clean. Just washing the face of one of these breeds can be a challenge! Teri will focus on some of the problems unique to these breeds and how we can overcome these issues in the salon, sending out a clean, well-groomed dog with a sweet looking and smelling face.

wo million people are infected with resistant strains of bacteria and 23,000 deaths result from antibiotic resistance in the U.S. each year, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates. What makes this troubling statistic important to the veterinary community, other pet care profession als and pet owners is that two relatively common bacteria species that have resistant strains, Campylobacter and Salmonell a, are also common in many pets. While these are not classified by the CDC as urgent threats of greatest concern to human health, they are considered a serious threat. One example is a 2016 outbreak of antibioticresistant campylobacteriosis that involved 113 patients in 17 states, and was determined to be linked to puppies. Instances like this, along with the fact that resistant strains of bacteria are developing at increasingly rapid rates and outpacing the introduction of new antibiotics , has caused public health officials and the pet care community to actively address the issue of responsible use of antibiotics in companio n animals. “Recognizing that antibiotic resistant germs are a growing and serious health risk to both humans and animals, last year PIJAC committed to work with the pet care community to create best management practices to combat AMR as part of our participation in the
