✂️ Salon Trimming of Wire-Haired Terriers

Theory • Demonstration • Practical Workshop

The first day of the seminar will focus on professional salon trimming techniques for wire-haired terriers and correct working procedures used in everyday professional grooming practice.

During the day, Rebecca Cross will demonstrate the complete grooming process on two model dogs. Step by step, she will explain the correct trimming technique, the logic behind each working stage and the differences between salon grooming and show grooming.

The techniques will be explained in a way that allows participants to apply them later to a wide range of wire-haired terrier breeds.

The seminar will also include a professional discussion focused on differences between individual breeds, coat structure, correct breed lines, common grooming mistakes and an individual approach to each dog.

Breeds discussed may include, for example:

✔ Scottish Terrier
