I think I would cry if I had to groom one of these guys 🤣 but I had fun watching Lis groom him 🤩 what a unique trim! She’s so good at explaining everything she’s doing and keeping it fun and light. I also loved the part when he got back on the table after jumping off 🤣 that was better than most of the comedies I have recently seen 🤣🤣🤣

Informative, thorough, and entertaining. This course has made me go from completely clueless and nervous about doing this cut, to excited and giddy. I can’t wait to put what I learned to use!
