This course may be one of the most informative on here! The extra info you can download is amazing to look back on I recently did a Pom after this course and I went back to look at the downloaded pages in my notes and it was a fantastic reference!
Sam Lavery –
This course taught me a bunch of tricks to achieve the breed standard trim for the Pomeranian, and how to avoid over sculpting. Mayra was great at giving reason behind her actions and her voice is incredibly calming, if I was a dog, I’d want her to be my groomer.
Jordan Hampton –
This helped me fix my pom paws and to feel confident in less is more
deniz_koparan –
Good tips! And it’s so sad that so many groomers don’t care about double coats and use scissors or clippers too much on these dogs.

Great course! I loved the tip on how to do the tail and how to hold the ears so you don’t cut the skin
Christie Chanthongthip –
If I could give it more stars I would!! Super easy to understand and I wish I had watched this sooner because I have definitely been doing the ears all wrong 😬.

I learn quite a few tips on how to do poms, on the side skirt I little for explanation on the flank area and behind the shoulder on how much we trim to still create that “u” “v” shape. Otherwise it helped me do my Pom so much faster!!! (I was able to stop second guessing myself)
Alanah Oconnor –
I learned I was taking off too much hair and that’s why I wasn’t loving my Pom grooms this was so great and informative and I love that you guys share the tools used as well! She is a great grooming instructor and very easy to listen too and learn from

I loved it. Very well explained, lots of tips and tricks. A lot of emphasis on the health of the coat and the dog looked amazing by the end of the demo!
Paige Andrus –
I think this is a very well put together demo. Not only does she give tips and tricks to this breed, but she explains WHY. I think the “why” when explaining is SO important. Loved this one!
Ali Spencer –
While a tidy is not my favorite groom by a long shot, this was incredibly informative and helped me have a deeper appreciation for the Pom coat as well as be able to visualize the shape I am trying to achieve.

Marci Montgomery –
I loved this course. Mayra may be my favorite instructor — she is so quiet and calm and gets straight to the point without trying to entertain, which is much appreciated! I learned a lot about how the Pomeranian should look when grooming to breed standard. Very very helpful, thank you for including it in the Groom Haus portfolio.
Lindsay Greene –
So many great tips in ‘Just the Tip’!
Thank you Mayra!

I learned a lot from this course including how to set the chest and rear furnishings. Lots of things I didn’t know and I’ve been grooming a long time.
Jesse Fuentes –
Great 45 minute class! Mayra makes it look easier than it is but she gives fantastic tips. What’s even better I found her on instagram and sent her a video of my finished work and she gave me great critiques on it.
Clarissa Duran –
Learned so much from this course! The groom finish is beautiful, I think every pom pet parent would agree! I’m so glad this video was added to the course!!!
