- Asking questions during or after the seminar is always possible and advisable!

- During registration, let us know which one of the seminars you will most likely attend to so we can act accordingly.

- Discrete switching between rooms remains possible and first come, first serve will apply to guarantee yourself a seat.

NEW CATEGORIES

The Asian Style During this new category at Groomania you will be judged on the Asian look and exuberant creativity and of course the grooming and scissoring techniques.

Accessories such as bows, ribbons, decorated collars and clothing are not only allowed but desirable. As long as everything is applied during the competition time and your work is visible at all times.

It takes 2 to groom: is a challenging freestyle class for a couple to work on one dog at the same time. You are mainly judged on how well you coordinate the grooming and styling together, but techniques and balance are just as important. Similar clothing and accessories are not a must but highly recommended. Practice and have fun together and take home the best couple trophy.

Groomania’s goal is to combine fun and competition, so we challenge you to enjoy above all.

Team competition at Groomania 4 groomers from any country, even mixed countries, can form a team. Team points can only be gained in the 4 official classes: »» Handstripping »» Pure Breeds »» Spaniels & Setters »» Poodles To be a team, you need 1 member of the team in each class, no matter if it’s in open class or champion class.

The best team is the team that gains the most points in the 4 official categories. If there’s a tie, the judges will decide who wins.

You can only participate in one team and it’s important to make the registration in the following way: Each member of the team registers for the competition on the Groomania website.

When all the team members are registered, 1 member sends a mail to info@groomania.be with the following info: »» The names of the team members »» Who competes in which class »» The team name, for example the Hairy Groomers.

After you’ve made the right registration you will receive a mail back with your team number. Only then the team is fully registered.

We believe the above will remove unnecessary distractions and will bring even more quality to the table!

JUDGE

The American Irina Pinkusevich is an enormously successful groomer who has now devoted herself to being a prized teacher after a career in the competition ring and is traveling around the world for this purpose!

1 LABRADOODLE

We can all agree that Doodles are here to stay! These dogs can be challenging for groomers for many reasons. This is the first time that we have had a ‘non-breed’ in our industry that has taken over the new client list like crazy. With so many sizes and coat textures, it is impossible to handle each client the same. In this seminar, Barb is going to cover different coat types, haircuts, pricing and more.

Heck- at least we can all agree that Doodles are a huge money maker if quotes and time saving techniques come into play. They really are a lovable breed all around.

11 POODLE COMMERCIAL CLIP

Poodles are the most elegant, poised and intelligent dogs in the world, and one of Barb’s favorite breeds.

Whether you are looking to add some style to your everyday pets, or you are prepping a poodle for a grooming contest, this is the class for you.

Barb has competed with poodles for almost 20 years and has won Best in Show at Intergroom with her Standard Poodle, as well as the World Poodle Tournament in Las Vegas for three years in a row. From top knots to perfectly round tails, this is a poodle adventure you don’t want to miss.

2 MALTESE PUPPY CUT

Chiara is going to demonstrate how elegant and fluffy you can groom a Maltese in a commercial way. With all different coat types, it’s sometimes difficult to groom this breed in a sweet puppy cut, but in a short period of time you will learn a really nice commercial way of grooming. This is the main goal of Chiara’s demonstration. A commercial grooming demonstration that has to be on your bucket list for Groomania 2019.
