See you there!

The March 27 Workshop has been canceled.

Sunday 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm

 

February 13, 2011 and March 27, 2011

We offer our grooming workshops to provide Airedale owners (club, non-club, pet or show) with an opportunity to learn hands-on grooming techniques in a group setting.  We provide handouts on grooming supplies, vendors, equipment suggestions and grooming diagrams for all attendees.

Clipping

Our grooming sessions for 2011 will spotlight grooming an Airedale’s hind legs.

Stripping

A stripping video is available and may be viewed or borrowed from the grooming coordinator for those interested in learning to strip an Airedale. The grooming coordinator will work and demo stripping techniques for interested parties. Please mention your interest in stripping when you RSVP.

Please RSVP by 2/10/11 for February session or 3/20/11 for March grooming session!

Please let the Grooming Coordinator know which session or sessions you will attend, your preferred method of grooming (clipping/stripping) and the number of dogs you will bring. Your dog(s) should arrive combed out, tangle free and freshly bathed (bath doesn’t have to have been that morning). A clean coat makes grooming easier and will extend the life of your clipper blades/grooming tools.

To RSVP

Contact Grooming Coordinator Nancy Flowers at 410-935-8548 or email flowers@umbc.edu. If you leave a voice message, be sure to include your name and call back number or email.

Building 5, 5-4 Metropolitan Court, Gaithersburg, MD 20877
