DO-IT-YOURSELF GROOMING – Learn from the masters! Be supervised by an experienced NEFCRC handler/groomer. Bring a CLEAN dog (bathing facilities are not provided on site) and your own clippers, shears, combs, brushes, etc.  We will provide the grooming tables and the experience.  Learn the best way to do those ears and paws with hands on practice.  Remember dirty dogs dull grooming tools!
