The origin of pet grooming technology comes from poodles. The earliest poodles were originally used as bird hunting dogs. They had to shuttle in the woods and bushes, and their thick curly hair could easily get caught in branches. In order to improve these inconveniences, the owner specially cut its curly hair short, and gradually developed a variety of interesting shapes.
The rise of the pet grooming industry
Europe, developed in the 19th century century, based on the oil paintings of European ladies in the 18th century, the budding embodiment of pet grooming began to be discovered, giving full play to the characteristics and charm of the dog breed itself, creating standard shapes and reflecting beauty!
The rise of pet grooming
Pet grooming became popular in France in the 18th century. The palace was faced with colorful life every day and was deeply loved by noble ladies. And in Louis In the 16th century, the poodle was designated as the national dog, and humans began to breed it carefully. Soon after, the small poodle was born, but its weight at that time was only nine kilograms. The earliest recorded beauty salon was established in 1820. It was most popular among these noble ladies to trim their dogs' hair, spray perfume, and wear jeweled necklaces. At that time, there was a hut in the Place de Versailles that originally employed groomers from Portugal and Spain. You could clearly see the nobles from all around. A woman uses a two-headed horse to transport her pet dog to be groomed. The luxury and beauty make people envious. Soon after, this group of duck hunters (groomers) settled in France and opened their own businesses. The era of bathing dogs came. The style of trimming at that time was similar to today's European style. The hair on the front half of the body is kept straight, and the back half of the body is cut short from the buttocks. I don't know if this style is accidental or a design. After trimming in this way, the VIP looks very much like a lion, and is known as a lion in the UK. It's called the lion's hair type, but it has been trimmed several times and is very different from the original round shape. The poodle that has been trimmed in this way not only represents the image of the dog, but also the beauty and elegance produced by the modeling, like the charm of a living doll, which has won the love of many people and aroused interest in breeding. This is the origin of pet grooming.
Myth:
The number of pet owners in major and medium-sized cities has increased dramatically, and professional pet beauticians have become a formal profession. However, this job is still very unfamiliar to many people, so people have some misunderstandings about pet beauticians, such as "This kind of work is very dangerous and can easily be injured by pet dogs" and "This kind of work is very simple, just for pets. Just cut the hair, there is no technique to speak of" and so on.

“If you are not careful, pet groomers can easily beScratches or bites from pet dogs. "In fact, this situation will never happen. Because every pet groomer is required to quickly judge the health status of the pet dog within 10 minutes after receiving it. If the pet If the beautician thinks that the pet dog is uncomfortable or in bad condition, he will not forcefully groom the pet dog. Even for those healthy and lively pet dogs, the pet beautician will cultivate a relationship with the pet dog before beautifying it and let the pet Dogs happily receive grooming. If a pet groomer wants to do this, he must have rich knowledge of pet dogs and veterinary medicine. Know what kind of pet dog has what kind of "personality", and what kind of performance indicates the physical condition of the pet dog. Discomfort, etc. Pet dogs are very delicate and fragile. During grooming, a little unintentional injury may even kill them. Therefore, the pet beautician can be said to be another doctor for pet dogs.

“Grooming a pet dog means trimming, combing and cleaning the hair. "The job of a pet beautician is not as simple as it seems. It usually takes 2 to 3 hours to groom a pet dog, and it will take longer for pet dogs that are not very obedient. Even some individual "uncooperative" pet dogs need It takes 2 to 3 days. Being a pet beautician requires a certain amount of talent. Working with animals generally requires practitioners to have the talent to communicate with animals. Secondly, being a pet beautician requires practitioners to have good patience. .Pet dogs are very sensitive, and they can feel the subtle emotional changes of the beautician. If the beautician becomes impatient during the beautification process, the pet dog will feel it and show it quickly, becoming irritable. Is irritable, even refuses to cooperate with grooming, and starts to make trouble. Therefore, whether you can be a qualified pet beautician, patience is the key. For a qualified pet beautician, practice is more important than theoretical learning. Usually Under normal circumstances, if you can beautify two pet dogs a day, you can start your career in one year. With the development of the times, the quality of life of pets has been continuously improved with the improvement of their owners’ living standards, so pet grooming has become a profession. Emerging industries have also emerged. When raising dogs has become a fashion, pet owners also want their pets to be beautifully dressed. For this reason, batches of pet grooming training schools have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and fake and inferior products There are also endless ones. How to choose a good pet grooming training school that suits you has become a puzzle for most pet grooming enthusiasts.
Choosing a school is choosing a teacher
The core of a school is the teacher. As the saying goes, "The master leads you in, and cultivation depends on the individual." Having a master who can quickly and accurately lead you into the pet grooming industry will save you a lot of detours. Therefore, having a professional teacher in the school will determine whether you can become a professional. The most important issue for beauticians is that a fully qualified professional beautician teacher must be one that can be found on a large official website for pets. At the same time, a professional pet beautician teacher must also be a professional breeder and instructor. We are also Can see them in competitions in recent yearsThe graceful appearance of the dogs they breed on the field and the excellent results they have achieved can also be found on the official website. Of course, whether a teacher is qualified or not depends on the results achieved by their students. Only those who can lead students in A good educator can be achieved by achieving good results in various competitions, such as dog handler and beautician competitions. Here we must pay attention to those teachers who are listed as famous teachers but may not teach in their schools at all. They are all Pay money to teach "famous teachers" for two days and then leave. Because these famous teachers also have schools or teach students alone, I would like to remind everyone to investigate carefully.
The importance of standard dogs as models
The school must Have a large number of live model dogs of multiple breeds for students to practice on. Do not use shaved dogs brought from dog farms as models. I once went to a school that did a good job in advertising to give exams to students. I cried when I saw the model dogs they got. Some of the dogs had no hair, not to mention systemic skin diseases, and there were also dogs that looked very unsightly. After asking, I found out that this was a very good dog that the students had seen. They were all brought from the dog farm. The so-called dog farms are low-quality dogs that are not eugenics and eugenics. The students do not know what is good and ideal. of standard dogs. Becoming a qualified pet beautician is not something that can be accomplished overnight, nor can it be achieved by reading a few books on pets. Only by having more contact, understanding and familiarity with the new characteristics and standards of dogs can we groom the dogs with their inner temperament and beautiful appearance.
Beauty schools must have their own breeding champion dogs, dogs that can get good rankings or even championships in various beauty competitions. Only by letting students have more exposure to such dogs can students know what their standards are. What can we do to prune it correctly, instead of pruning it at will behind closed doors and taking it for granted? I have repeatedly emphasized that schools must have good dogs. The purpose is to enable students to learn the most professional dog standards so that they can practice the three elements of balance, symmetry, and proportion during trimming.
All dog breed grooming and practice A qualified pet grooming school must have three categories of dogs: the first category of sheared dogs (poodles, Bichons, Bedlingtons, etc.), the second category of plucked dogs Dogs (Schnauzer, Wirehaired Foxhound, West Highlander, etc.), third category hounds (American Cocker Spaniel, British Cocker Spaniel, Springer Spaniel, etc.) Any one of the above first category and the latter two categories is combined or best Only schools with all three categories can have some professional knowledge on all dog breeds (those with only one category are the "single breeds" mentioned later.) Only in this way can we provide students with the most comprehensive and professionalThe beautician training skills, through long-term aesthetic and beautification exercises on dog shapes, allow students to see beautiful living sculptures of art in front of their eyes without feeling tired.
At the same time, a good beauty school must have a good beauty shop or a store where students can practice, because only in practice can we know what kind of products and beauty treatments our customers need. Styling, for example, there are differences between north and south regarding whether teddy fur should be long or short. In this way, new students can grow up in practice, and the teacher will not only teach how to trim competition-level costumes, but also allow students to trim popular pet costumes, dyeing, etc. Without a good store for students to practice, students cannot learn practical skills, and they cannot quickly enter a store to work after leaving school. What I'm talking about here is not inconsistent with those who are professionally studying for the competition and those who are just for the exam, because each student's starting point is different.
Single-breed grooming options. Those who want to learn single-breed grooming can choose teachers who are dog breeders, beauticians, and instructors. I dare not say who is the master here, but there are many teachers of single breeds in China, and their grooming skills can be said to be very strong abroad. For example, Schnauzers can go to Beijing, Shanghai, Changchun, Henan, Xi'an, etc. in Northeast China. There are several large professional breeding kennels in Suzhou and Tianjin. For curly-haired Bichon Frize, you can go to professional kennels in Shenzhen, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Henan, and Wuhan. For VIPs, you can go to Chongqing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Xi'an, Beijing, etc. American Cocker can go to Henan, Beijing, etc. What is said here is not comprehensive, but is summarized based on the games seen on the field. There are many outstanding teachers in single-breed breeding, grooming, and traction in China, such as golden retriever breeders, Western breeders, and the most powerful Chinese Chow Chow, Pekingese dog breeders, etc. who are very powerful in the country. .
Real and effective professional website It is best for schools to have their own professional website. As a member of the Internet age, professional websites are an indispensable publicity platform for pet grooming. Those schools that can post the qualifications of their school teachers, information on competition dogs, and pictures of students' trimmings online can provide everyone with a good reference and choice, and can also give students more opportunities to show off. Here I want to explain that those schools whose technology is not up to standard will also promote like crazy on professional websites. Instead of normal promotion, they hire people to use professional software to post posts to achieve good online rankings, and they will name them: " Beauty school titles such as "International" and "World" are used to deceive beginners who are just about to enter the industry. Finally, the Pet Grooming School hopes that everyone can find a pet grooming training institution that they are satisfied with, so that they can have a successful career and be happy. We will also continue to improve ourselves and help more new people who want to learn pet grooming to achieve their careers.
