CANINE ANATOMY - UNCOVERING REAR ANGULATION

Julie Harris and the inspiration gang

ANATOMY explains the internal bodily structure including bones and their movement on and around a dog's skeleton. By understanding this you will be better prepared for handling all types of breeds on your grooming table. Manipulation for positioning and comfort will be clearer and you will have a greater chance of success with your doggy client by working within their physical constraints and create trust between you.

At the end of this unit you will be able to:

1: Name the BONES and JOINTS that make up the REAR ANGULATION

2: Understand how the BONE STRUCTURE within REAR ANGULATION can vary by BREED

3: Understand how that BONE STRUCTURE influences BEHAVIOUR ON the GROOMING TABLE

4: How to TRIM in a way that's COMPLIMENTARY to DIFFERENT BREED TYPES
