The Pudu establishment is one of two doggie shops next to each other, at the corner of a block which you can see from Jalan Pasar, in the Pudu Plaza area.
yeah i know.. *sigh... the thing is..i dun own a dog now.. used to tho.. now staying alone working late hours... if i hav a dog..that poor pup will be so lonely and miserable.. the grooming course well..thinking of a change or career..
at least a skill to fall back on.. i love dogs..will tend to them with care.. dun wan so must stress in my life..
what breed do you own?! i used to have Great Danes... 3 to be exact..
Oh, a change of career!! So you want to be a professional groomer. Probably not a bad career move, although I'm no career counsellor. Just look at the number of places providing grooming services in the Klang Valley, and the fees they charge, and still dog owners in droves bring their pooches.
I have a min schnauzer - picture on the left. She's nearly five months now and I've been handstripping her. Nearly done with that, and I'm about to get a clipper to do her tummy. I decided to DIY because it's going to be really difficult to get a professional handstripping job done by someone else, it's going to be expensive, and since I'll have laboured so much over the handstripping, I might as well learn to do the clipping and sculpting with scissors as well. The results? Well, thank god Arún isn't a show dog!
How do you do handstriping? I'm always curious to know.

Yah, many will gladly reply if they know or want to help.
Well, Willy was my best dog. Old age took him... well, he lives on in my heart.
OH... if I remember correctly, the fees for a 5 month dog grooming course could go from RM6k to RM10k....

Haiyoh, how ar? Actually I'm doing a 100% DIY with what information I've gleaned from websites and books. At the moment, I'm just using my thumb and first finger to grasp a few hairs, and then, PULL!
Ohhh... so that is how it is done. Wow, I used to groom my shih tzu, takes time too coz I only use scissors ahahah.... MS many use clippers, to me it looks like the dog has been cut half way lol. Thanks for you info.

Oh, What I meant was that these days many MS are clipped shortly, I've seen a petshop with MS pups and they were clipped till look like top part shaved and down part all long long

wow!!! all new set of lingo to learn.. been out of the DOG thingy for sometimes.. the last time i had a dog was 5 years back..
That "kid" on the pix.. well.. all grown and ..pass on d! it was a mix sharpei + bullterrier...cute as a pup...adult not so good lookin but still loved her...
u guys seems to hav your work cut out for you.. self grooming.. for me not to look for BIG $$$ but just wanna be able to help people groom their beloved pets with TLC.. groming animals sounds interesting.. new skills.. maybe u guys can give some tips..
Many of the schnauzers I see in petshops are clipped way before they're ready, and many also have had their ears cropped so that they'd be easier to sell.
HEheh... grooming takes time. Of course short coat easier. Long coat, well, practice makes perfect. When I started clipping my own shih tzu last time, damn looks like alien... after a few times, it became better and neater.

ya... the grooming course really really costly. i planned to take up the grooming course last year but the fee is expensive and the course also full time. it's quite hard for me to take up the course. furthermore, i'm from jb and jb don't have such grooming course as in kl. i'm looking fot the grooming course for quite sometime but untill nw still can't get 1. since i'm working, i don't think so i can take up the full time course. (i can't give up my job coz i got family commitment)
yeah know how u feel.. commitments sucks but what to do.. But still looking for grooming schools.. no time also. Looks like i hav to put it on hold.. KIV!!! let this year settle first then.. look around..
If it is a full time course like u mentioned.. then .. will hav to work save $$$ then see how!! sigh..
ya... we need to work hard to save $ for the course if really wanna to complete it asap so that we can go in faster to the grooming industry to enjoy the life with our furkids....
I've decided to take up the course at The Pet Family, Tmn Megah coz they are offering promo now at RM9600 (inclusive of equipment). This promo only valid for registration before end of June. I was thinking maybe if I can get a few more ppl to join and register together, we can ask them for a better price and discount. I saw in another thread that there are a few who's interested to take up the course? So maybe we can meet up and go there together? Anyone interested?
i know for sure house of groomers teaches ways to groom a dog without causing them distress as many grooming places does. I've seen dogs jumping enthusiastically into the groomers arms at house of groomers. Now how many groomers get that?
