Dog Grooming Master Classes

Dog Grooming

Dee Milligan-Bott's Championship winning formula is brought to the screen in this Brand New DVD. Watch and learn how she prepares and maintains her Champions!

Benefit from the Master's personal Hints and Tips in each chapter.

This DVD can either be watched in its entirety or watched in sections.

1. Introduction.

Here we get to know a little of Dee Milligan's history and love of the Irish Setter.
Dee explains that today's show dog should be presented to advantage. She advises us to look at any top dog to note how they've been prepared for presentation- they certainly haven't been thrown in the bath the night before and quickly hacked at on the bench before entering their class!
Dee is asked her 'secrets' on how she achieves the wonderful coats on her dogs.

2. Bathing

Dee states her beliefs on the notion that bathing the coat too often 'ruins the coat'.
Preparing the dog for bathing.
The bathing procedure- which is THE KEY to a well presented Irish Setter.
Correct handling of the wet coat.

3. Blow drying-An art in itself!

Your Setter may adorn one of several types of coat. Dee explains why it is so important to assess the coat in order to decide which of the various methods to use.

4. Breed Standard

Of course, before setting to work on the coat with your stripping knives and scissors, it is vital to know what you're aiming to achieve!
Here, Dee clearly and simply runs through the main attributes and discusses how it is possible to highlight the good points and deflect attention from the imperfections with grooming skills and presentation skills in the ring.

5. Equipment

6. The Coat

Having described the texture of the coat, Dee shares with us the correct procedure of keeping it in tip top condition.
Stripping and carding the coat.

7. Trimming and Styling

Feet and feathering- ensuring balance is adhered to at ALL times.
Ears and head- again, depends on the set of the ears.
Neck area- so commonly trimmed wrong. Here Dee demonstrates how to achieve the most natural and elegant look, on more than one coat type.

8. Maintenance of the Coat

Does Dee wrap her dog's up in cotton wool? No siree!! But how do you keep that beautiful flowing coat from tearing and snapping?
Dee shares her secrets.

Featuring Extra bonus footage of Irish Setters in unusual 'working' role!!

Interaction between the Master and the presenter, fun and funky music along with various effects throughout ensures that this is definitely not just a boring grooming lecture!
