So it was time for Ham to get groomed again, so I booked myself in for the day course so I could learn to hand strip him myself. It's not cheap, £175, but if you think about the long term you can justify it.
I arrived at 10am, there were also a couple of other students there doing a professional course. The groomers is also doggie daycare so it's quite hectic. There was a bit of waiting around.
I was first shown how to wash Ham, which was useful as I've struggle with this at home. Then we blow dried him which I'm not sure he enjoyed but he was harnessed so had no choice to run. There were 2 ladies between the 3 of us, one lady was very helpful, she really showed me what I needed to do and was incredibly friendly. The other lady I felt wasn't so keen to teach and more interested in grooming Ham herself and to sound precious was a bit rough with Ham.
Overall I had a good time and learnt how to groom Ham myself, I was even given a catalogue with all the bits and bobs I would need. However after justifying the long term costs I now feel it was a bit overpriced, hence the drop to 4 stars. read more
