Making Masterpieces out of Nightmares in Record Time!
Dave Campanella - Best Shot Pet Products
Let’s take a closer look at Dematting, Detangling, Deshedding. It’s no surprise the most strenuous and time-consuming physical
activities groomers struggle with on a daily basis are de-shedding, de-matting and detangling. Many opinions, techniques, tools
and formulas attempt to help tackle these tough challenges, but do you really understand what’s going on from the hairs perspective
to select the most effective approach. Dave will review demo video and images viewed with an electron microscope of hair
samples he has taken of mats, tangles and undercoat from several common coat types. The data presented provides keen
insights guiding you to a more effective approach towards combating these daunting tasks effectively. You will learn how to safely
release more shedding and undercoat with little to no pre-brushing; minimize your effort; reduce stress; avoid muscle strain and
even injury to you and your client dogs. Ultimately you will learn to earn more “Making Masterpieces out of Nightmares in Record

Nose to Toes
By Daryl Conner - Sponsored by “The Red Clipper Company”
There is one thing that every stylist should do to every pet when they greet them for grooming… a nose to toes evaluation
on every dog or cat. We’ll discuss common issues that groomers encounter; ear troubles, eye problems, skin issues, lumps, bumps,
critters, contusions and more. Dogs with medical problems can have behavior problems that go along with them. A dog experiencing
pain or discomfort can be short tempered… and more apt to bite. Adding this step to your daily routine can help the pet,
the customer and YOU! Incorporating a good input evaluation while the owner is still present can be a huge help to groomers
while increasing your professional image. Learn how to evaluate coat condition, how to communicate with and educate your customers
and more. For an added bonus, I'll teach you how to make dogs LOVE to come to be groomed. You will also take home
a helpful handout and the memory of an hour well spent!
