Btw, I'm thinking about changing my shampoo line. I will consider using Chris Christensen or Petsilk or Purepaws or Vellus lines but I still can't decide which one I should give a try. Can anyone tell me which is the best for my yorkshire; I have a silky yorkshire coat. His coat is very soft like silk.
Can anyone explain me also a good way to make a hot oil treatment? |
Hi Professional groomers unfortunately do not have a lot of experience with the purebred breeds of dogs. About 95% of their clientel are crossbreeds of various sorts. I know that because I am a professional dog groomer have been for 16 years. I was a groomer before I got into showing and breeding YOrkies. As a groomer I didn't know squat about grooming Yorkies or their coats as most groomers that do training don't know either. I learned from other long time reputable show breeders and that has been a long process.
I have a show Toy Poodle breeder friend that I groomed for her for a year once a month. I learned lots from her, she learned a little from me. I have a Show Pom breeder friend who taught me how to properly groom a Pom. I have yet to see a professional groomer turn out a decent grooming job on any of these breeds.
I learned the Terrier breeds by goin gto shows and watching them in the grooming area and asking questions which is what my grooming trainer told me to do, so I did. That's partly how I got going to dog shows in the first place and of course, the rest is history.
For shampoo, I have been using the A1 All Systems Super cleaning Conditioning shampoo. A little goes a long way, I love the product and use it in my pet grooming as well.
