Jo Mitchell –
I loved hearing the different perspectives and techniques.
Emily Benoit –
I learned so much from this and also confirmed a lot that I already knew. It definitely could’ve been even more informative to have had a double coated dog that was impacted and the best way to go about that..it was awesome other than that though!
Groom Haüs –
Thanks so much for the feedback! It is VERY hard to plan a webinar with a matted/impacted coat as we have to plan so far in advance and can’t leave a dog matted for that long. We would like to do a dematting webinar at some point but will have to be a pop-up with not much notice.
Laura Johnson –

I put all the knowledge gained from this webinar to work the next day and was just blown away by the difference it made. Personally reached out to Sarah with pics and shared owners reviews of my work. ♥️

Chelsea Puchel –
I learned soooo much valuable information that I can, and will, definitely apply on my next double coated dog. The instructors were engaging and incredibly easy to follow. I highly recommend this course if you want to do your desheds properly and take them to the next, if not several levels, higher.
