Students should bring an untrimmed golden of their own as their end finish dog.  He/She must already be bathed and dried before you arrive for your course – and preferably be well behaved!  Please inform me at the time of booking your training day if cannot bring one of your own dogs to complete as your finishing dog.

Tea and Coffee breaks inclusive during the day as needed.

Please bring your own packed lunch and cold drinks.

Time :  10.30am – 5pm with a half hour break for lunch.

You will also need to bring your own grooming equipment – and MUST have with you a comb, slicker brush, small feet scissors for fine detailed work; long straight scissors for tails; single sided thinning scissors ; double sided thinning scissors, & nail clippers.
All other tools will be provided.   

Grooming to a superior standard of perfection is an art and a skill !  
Speed and competence increases with confidence and experience. Having an “eye” for a dog and appreciation of shape can take time to acquire and develops over a period of time.
