Hand Stripping the Jack Russell Terrier
A Jack Russell is small, but the grooming is anything but "simple". The difference between an average trim and that crisp, correct terrier look is coat knowledge, timing, and technique. In this 90-minute seminar, you'll learn how to bring out the true Jack Russell expression – clean outline, harsh texture, balanced proportions – without damaging the coat or wasting time. Whether you groom pet Jacks or prepare dogs for the show ring, this session will give you a clear, practical system you can use immediately.

Boosting your Cat Grooming Business: Welfare, Behaviour and Professional Responsibility
In this session, cat behaviourist Anneleen Bru explores what it truly means to work with cats from a behavioural and welfare perspective. Cats are highly sensitive, stress-prone animals who perceive subtle emotional shifts, environmental changes and handling techniques far more intensely than many professionals realise. Without species-specific knowledge, even well-intended grooming can compromise both welfare and long-term client trust. Cat grooming is not an extension of dog grooming, it is a discipline in its own right. In this lecture, Anneleen examines the essential foundations of professional cat grooming: behavioural literacy, health awareness, coat-friendly techniques, stress-sensitive handling, environmental set-up and appropriate tooling. Attendees will gain a clear framework for creating a truly cat-centred grooming service, including space design, client education, interprofessional collaboration and preventative welfare strategies.
