Grooming School - Groomers Connection Appreciation to Mr. Sathit

Dear Mr Sathit,

This post is specially dedicated to you. We would like to express our gratitude to you for perfecting our unique FUSION style in grooming skills and techniques.

Mr Sathit, the excellent teacher from Starwood, Thailand, whom has won numerous awards and was invited to many countries including New York to perform pet fashion show.

Moreover, our instructors were given the golden opportunity to be involved in ‘behind the scene’ on preparation for the pet fashion show held in Mid Valley, Malaysia few months back. Your noble way of teaching method has inspired us so much to build our own empire in continuing teaching the beauty and art of grooming.


Your laughter and generosity are still vividly tag along by our two lovely instructors. Although he doesn’t smile to the camera, but he loves to laugh and joke around! Mr Sathit, you are so handsome!! Ding Dong~ HeHeHe

Thank you and we shall look forward in seeing you again in the near future to enjoy better food in Malaysia’s China Town. :)

Learning pet grooming from Groomers Connection School - Why & How? (Dog Grooming Tips) Part 1

~FAQ~

Why my dog doesn’t like me to brush but he seems to enjoy the brushing at the groomers workstation by lying down comfortably!!



Answer: Are you brushing their hair or pulling their hair?? Use short stroke with the correct brush (slicker brush work perfectly in most of the dog breed comfortably) and DO NOT pull the hair from shaft to the tip especially with matted/tangled hair. You may need to repeat the short stroke many times before you can achieve the fluffy effect. As for matted/tangled hair, proper dematting skill is needed. Gently use your finger in a zigzag way to open up the matts. Once the knot is loosen up, it shall be followed by the same gentle brushing. Always try brushing the same strength on your own hair to feel whether does it hurt!

************************

Why my dog always struggle when I hold on to him? He doesn't love me...............

Answer: Ask yourself…do u let him/her go when they struggle? If the answer is yes, then they have ‘won’ the battle! They know this is the way to get rid of you. In dogs world, struggling does not mean they hate you, their love is infinity. As they love to live in the pack, you gotto know how to make them love you. Which is, make yourself the leader of the pack!

As long as you are not hurting the dog, hold firmly and gently finish the task you want to perform on them. Do not let go! (PLEASE let go if you are hurting them) If you are in doubt whether you are hurting them, reposition your grip and say 'stay'. Please imagine! The strength should NOT be as though like you are fighting with your bf/gf. It should be something like when you are holding the small kid when you forbid the kid from doing something wrong.

Of course, you should then associate it with good thing rather than punishment. For example, give a treat after the session or praise them with sincere heart... they know when you are faking it!

************************

Why my dog is dragging its rear (‘ass’) on the ground? Maybe they are wiping their 'backside' ? :P

Answer: Apparently, his/her anal gland is disturbing and needs to be expressed out. The discomfort of the impacted anal gland is called scooting. If not cleared, it will caused fever, infections and other disease. Consult your vet or groomer to have them released or engage with us to find out more in helping your doggie by your own!

************************
