Trimming Pms for a long time, but the structure definement, makes it a lot easier to perfect the grooms now!

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 –

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.

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.
