Review Of “Online Grooming School”

If you are reading this review, I’m going to assume that you are interested in a career in pet grooming or just want to be able to groom your pet yourself and save thousands of dollars in grooming fees. So the question is simple. Will Online Grooming School give you the skills you need AND prepare you for a career in pet grooming?

The answer is a resounding YES.

The best part about this training is that it is all video based and you can watch these videos totally online. You don’t have to buy any expensive CDs and install them on your computer, hoping that they play. Everything is online.

Now, having said that, there is one thing you need to know about. If you are on a dial up connection, don’t join this site. The videos don’t stream. You need to have a Flash player on your PC to view them. Most PCs come with these, but check first.

This site will actually get you certified if that’s what you want. All you need to do is follow their simple instructions and they’ll take care of the rest. You will need to submit five before and after pictures of the pets you’ve groomed in order to get your certification. I recommend offering to groom somebody’s pet for free in order to get this done. Who would be crazy enough to turn down an offer like that?

Okay, so what will you learn and what will you be certified in?

The course covers the following:

Pet Hygiene Part I
Pet Hygiene Part II
De-Shedding Techniques
Poodle Grooming Lessons
Shih Tzu Grooming Lessons
Yorkie Grooming Lessons
Maltese Grooming Lessons
Cat Grooming Class
Schnauzer Grooming Class
West Highland Terrier Grooming Class
Pomeranian Grooming Class
Chow Chow Grooming Class
Airedale Grooming Class
Scottish Terrier Grooming Class
Wire Fox Terrier Grooming Class
Bichon Grooming Class

There are also a couple of bonus grooming books on how to groom for profits included with the course.

As you can see, this course is quite extensive and it’s a fraction of what you would have to pay at a grooming school.

Why?

Because they don’t have the overhead that a grooming school has. Thus, they can bring this instruction to you a lot cheaper.

At the very least please check out their site and see what they have to offer. Yes, I do get compensated if you sign up through this review, but that compensation goes to helping me bring the best products to you so that you don’t have to worry about the quality of what you’re purchasing.

Here is the site:

Discover Why You May Be Causing Your Cats Hair Loss

Did you know your cats hair loss can be caused by you? "Wait!" You cry. "I wouldn't hurt a hair on my beloved felines head." Many of you reading this article would say the same thing. But, the fact is the loss of your favorite pet's hair may be your fault. This article will discuss some of the reasons why and the ways you can help your kitty.

For the purpose of this article lets name the pet we are going to be talking about, Roscoe. Now Roscoe is your typical independent, lazy male cat and feels he is the "King" of your home. Which means he pretty well does what he wants to in your home, right? However, chances are that may not be the healthiest thing for Roscoe.

As you have discovered through the years "Ol" Roscoe can be a pretty finicky eater. So to try and please his "Majesty" you have tried one cat food after another. You have tried him on the most expensive canned filet of salmon, to your favorite dish off the table. But, all of this to no avail. Finally you put him on a "you get hungry enough you'll eat" diet. When you do that it?Roscoe musters up his dignity and stalks out of the dinning room and you hear him muttering under his breath, 揚ut whats his name on the guillotine. Off with his head.?

Frankly, switching Roscoe back and forth does more than make him miss a meal or two. Cats are creatures of habit, as you have learned over the years. Each time you changed Roscoe's food you have broken a habit.

When the "comfort zone" of Roscoe's eating habits become disturbed he has a tendency to get stressed. You have seen this in the way he paces back and forth, loud meowing, constantly grooming himself and craving constant attention. Roscoe also starts showing bald spots on his body. His cats hair loss seems to get worse and worse ever day.

Just like you his owner, when Roscoe gets stressed out and stays stressed out, his hair will continue to fall out. Since Roscoe is normally a healthy cat its time to take him to his vet. Roscoes vet ran a few tests and determined there was no physical illness, but he was stressed out. When you and Roscoe tell his doctor about switching his diet back and forth, the vet said that was a major contributor to the stress.

Then the veterinarian told you and Roscoe to get off the "you get hungry enough you'll eat" diet. The doc, then pointed out a couple of healthy cat foods which should solve the problem. Of course, Roscoe will be the decision maker on which food he likes the best. That being said Roscoe tells you its time to go back home for his nap.

When you get Roscoe home he starts rubbing on your leg, but you ignore him and go about your business. Not good! Roscoe needs grooming every day, to stimulate his fur and increase the blood flow to his skin. Without it his cats hair loss may continue. Now you have picked Roscoe up and given him a good brushing, he gets relaxed and curls up for his nap. Not good!

The vet has also told you and Roscoe, his lack of exercise is contributing to his hair loss. Since Roscoe owns you and you're his slave its your duty to make sure he exercises several times a day. To overcome Roscoe's natural talent for laziness a dangling string with a treat tied on the end of it will often times do the trick. As you know Roscoe loves chasing his favorite ball around the room, now it's time for you to get down on the floor and play with him. One of the things you will notice is you will get caught up in the play. Then you will start smiling and laughing at his antics.

You start feeling better and Roscoe senses it and he becomes less stressed. Soon you and Roscoe get back in the habit of excising every day and the next thing you and Roscoe notice is no more bald spots.

As you can tell this little tale has its moral. Your cats hair loss may or may not have been caused by lack of exercise, bad diet or stress. But, as beloved owner you are the one that can put your own pet back on the road to recovery. By the way, Roscoe said to tell you he knows you didn抰 mean to cause the problems and he still loves you. So get over it!
