Grooming Tips & Tricks for Dog Owners seminar This class is a must for Doodle owners Having a healthy dog goes beyond providing good food and adequate exercise.

Developing good grooming habits early on will grow your bond with your dog and will save you money on professional grooming services. In this class, we’ll learn about different coat types and how to manage them with the right tools and techniques, what to look for in a shampoo, how often to bathe, what kind of brush to use and whether supplements actually work.
