THE
FIRTREE GROOMING ACADEMY SPECIALIST SHOW BREED GROOMING
This
course is offered to those who already have existing grooming experience.
Students will already have a working knowledge of the equipment
handling, possibly already working as employed in the grooming industry,
and who want to learn the more specialised grooming techniques involved in
hand stripping coats and grooming dogs for the specialist show ring.
This course is also available to show dog owners who wish to learn
how to groom their own dogs in this specialised manner, however you will
need to have a working knowledge of the tools and general grooming
techniques before joining this course. This course consists of 5 days (Mon – Friday) tuition and
practical training. We
restrict each course to a small number of students, as we want you
to have the best possible personal tuition.
Unless you are a group requiring training together (in which case
we will structure a specific course just for your group), our student
numbers for each two week course are generally restricted to a maximum of
three people. In the unlikely
event that any day is missed or disrupted due to our fault, students will
be offered the option to receive tuition on one of the Saturdays during
the course. A course schedule
will be provided to all students prior to commencement. We have a wide
variety of major breeds on our data-base, which require professional
grooming skills and students will be handling and grooming these dogs
throughout the course. We are
able to specialise much of the content of this course towards the grooming
requirements for a particular breed of dog, if required.
Should a student have their own dog(s) which they wish to have
first hand experience of handling whilst undertaking this type of
grooming, then we will be pleased to arrange for you to bring it (them) along. It
is assumed that attendees on this course will already have the basic
skills and knowledge in handling and correct use of the grooming and salon
equipment and so the tuition in this respect will be based on this
knowledge. If you believe
that you DO NOT possess the basics needed to commence your course from
this point, then you need to make us aware of this at the earliest
possible time, as this could have a detrimental effect on your ability to
gain from this course. You
will be covering in more depth both the theory and practical application
of grooming and Canine Beauty skills across a specific range of dogs.
You will receive some tuition from breed-specific experts in the
confirmation, correct trims and breed-related conditions in selected
breeds that require hand stripping for their show grooming. You
are welcome to use our own grooming equipment on this course.
However, we imagine all students are likely to be in possession of their
own grooming equipment (including grooming clippers) and we are happy for
you to bring this along should you wish to do so.
We will advise all students on the equipment that they will need to
bring with them. If you need
to purchase any equipment, we will be happy to provide supplier details
should you need it (some of whom we have preferential terms agreed with
for our students). This course is structured to give you an enhancement of your existing grooming skills, particularly in respect of hand stripping and show grooming. If you have a particular wish to be taught on a specific breed please let us know at the earliest possible time and we will endeavour to include it – you are, of course, welcome to bring along your own dog(s) to work with. Former students from any of our courses always have the facility to use us as a help and advisory service throughout the rest of their grooming career.
