FOR SALON GROOMERS! De-matting! This can be cause for a lot of work, frustration, discussions with pet parents... and ultimately, heavy matting in the salon might lead to a shave-down. But, in this webinar, let's discuss how to de-matt without the shave-down, whenever possible. As Allison always says to both professional groomers and pet parents, "no groomer wakes up in the morning and hopes they have to shave off a matted dog". De-matting can be hard on the dog AND the groomer - so what are the best practices for de-matting in the salon? In this webinar, we will discuss the different 'stages' or 'levels' of matting, when you can and cannot de-matt during a groom, the best practices of de-matting, tools that will help you to de-matt, and how to work with your clients to avoid heavy matting in the future.

This course also includes a recorded Q&A session where Allison answers questions asked by your peers.
