So, on thursday (24th) I attended a one day grooming course at look north grooming salon.
 |
It started at 9:00 in the morning by brushing out all of Tommy's
leg knots so they didn't tighten in the bath. |
 |
Next Tommy had to have a bath.
He hates bathes anyway and had to be shampooed twice. |
 |
First he had to be towelled dry
|
 |
| Then dried with the dryer. |
 |
| After he was dry I had to comb his legs to completely ensure they were knot free. |
 |
| I had to shave in between his toes which I have done before at YKC camp 2013. |
 |
| Then he needed his feet scissoring of overhanging hair. |
 |
Cutting knots out of his toesies as it
would have been too painful to brush or comb them. |
 |
I had to clip his body with the clippers
following some lines that she showed me. |
 |
He was very relaxed despite the
noise of the clippers. |
 |
I had to "blend" the clipper lines on from where I
stopped shaving with thinning scissors. |
 |
The last thing I did was to trim his claws with
the guillotine nail clippers. |
But the lady who was showing me what to do then plucked his ears with forceps, he had to have his muzzle on to aid grip and as he is a classic schnauzer hating having his ears plucked. I had to hold his legs down and together to stop him trying to stop her.
Anyway I had lots of fun, learnt lots of useful grooming tips and pointers and I have a much smarter looking and soft boy.
