Learning some K9 Secrets in Memphis
Posted by Fetch Wed, 03 Sep 2008 21:05:00 GMT
A couple of weeks ago, Melissa and I headed down to Memphis, Tennessee with Sue Zecco to meet up with her grooming partner, Jay Scruggs. Jay offered his home as a location for our latest collaboration. On August 9th, we pulled ourselves away from the gorgeous town of Collierville, away from the delicious aromas of Corky’s ribs and away from our day dreams of Elvis. We hunkered down and got to work. We shot two videos for the pet owner. One uses a Golden Retriever, and the other uses a Maltese and a Bichon to illustrate how a pet lover should care for his/her large or small breed dog at home between grooming appointments.
We’ve been working with Jay and Sue for two years, and we have produced, directed, shot and edited over 15 videos for them. Until now, their techniques have only been available to professional groomers. We’re all very excited that this DVD will expand our market, and bring their “Grooming Secrets” to a much wider audience.
I, for one, learned dozens of useful information while working on these videos. For one, I’ve been brushing Atticus and Scout incorrectly. I never knew not to brush a dry coat. I also learned to brush my dogs before I give them a bath to reduce matting and make it easier on them during their final brush out. And most importantly, I learned that my Kerastase is not good on poodles or any breed for that matter. While it might make my hair shiny and strong, the pH messes with their skin and can cause irritations and discomfort. Never a good thing!
Now, Atticus and Scout are going to get the royal treatment at home. (If you were to ask them, it’s no secret they prefer their visits to Sue!)
