HipDog School of Grooming Arts

is taking some time off from our residence school to get our instructional grooming ebooks finished and online for you! While I won't be taking students the first part of 2012 I will resume taking students again once I have my ebooks and cell app grooming series done.

Don't be bummed....I can still teach you how to groom as I have put together an awesome affordable Home Study package just for you! I've had so many calls and pleas from people who desperately want to learn to groom but cannot afford residence schools or online courses, no thanks to the current economy.

You should not be excluded from learning to groom dogs!

My Home Study package is designed for you! You can learn to groom at home without putting your entire life on hold for three months. My DVDS are effective teaching tools and many have learned to groom from them. I use them in my own school as part of my curriculum so you are learning just as my students did.

Reality Pet Grooming Home Study package

My new Reality Pet Grooming Home Study Series includes 11 DVDs of dogs being groomed with clippers, scissors and guards in their proper (but short) breed patterns! You KNOW you love dogs and have always wanted to do this. C'mon! No time like the present to get started doing what you have dreamed of!!

I’ve put together an affordable, easy to follow and understand, detailed program to teach you in a way you can learn without fear of injuring the dog. My program is designed to teach you 9 of the most popular breeds in homes today. Unfortunately, these are also 9 of the most incorrectly groomed breeds on the planet! I don’t get how you can be a professional groomer and turn out dogs with skirts where they should have an underline, or eyebrows pointing forward instead of off the side of the eyes on the side of the head. Really? It is wrong and it is ugly and way too many groomers do this. If you are going to call yourself a groomer, or learn to groom, please learn to groom and blend the right way, or don’t do it at all. You make the rest of us look uneducated and give our wonderful profession a bad name.

I call my Home Study package the Reality Series because the reality is you CAN learn to do these breeds and do them well from my grooming methods without uprooting your entire life for three months. Learn these breeds well and you will impress any potential employer when you perform your working interview.

One of the most important keys of making grooming more pleasurable for you and the dog is learning how a dogs body works and using his/her anatomy and natural muscle movements during the grooming process. Way too many groomers nick, cut and filet dogs in shops all over the country every single day. Why? Because they do not groom with the dogs safety and comfort in mind first. They do not understand how the anatomy works or how to use their equipment properly in the most difficult areas. I very specifically show you how to do these steps safely on my DVDs.

My grooming methods are time saving and to the point. I explain every step as I perform it on my DVDs, just like I do in class. How I hold each body part while working on the dog in front of you (with zoom in shots throughout the process ) so you can see how to safely do the areas so often cut by careless groomers. I show you how to comb the hair into position to trim perfectly each time. The key to my program is to mimmick exactly what I do and exactly HOW I do it on these DVDs. Follow my directions with your book open to the breed chapter and illustration while you watch the breed specific DVDs to become an educated and accomplished groomer. With my program and you will be on your way to a new career grooming dogs before you know it!
