American Poodles At Work

Last Saturday Wow Take A Bow Boarding & Grooming hosted the first Poodle Grooming Class as an APAW fundraiser, and it was a success!

Local Poodle owners came with their pre-bathed and fluffed Poodles and whatever grooming supplies they had accumulated. After watching a demo of each portion of the grooming process (demonstrated on APAW Pixie),  the budding groomers worked on their own pups with handling assistance, reminders, and suggestions for their specific situations.

Poodles and parents left looking neat and proud

Wow Take A Bow will be hosting another class shortly before Christmas (contact for details) – class space is limited so sign-up early. We plan to offer the class every 2-3 months, and APAW Poodles will be available for new groomers who wish to learn on a well-trained canine.

Today was a fun one for lucky Poodles owned by members of the Poodle Club of Massachusetts. APAW Demo-Dog Charlie – accompanied by Program Director Jillian Gartner – taught a trick class for the happy pooches.

Dogs learned and practiced spinning in circles, weaving through human legs and taking a bow – and some came up with other tricks to work on, like crossing paws, playing dead, and hind-end awareness via pivoting around a target.

If you are looking for a neat interactive workshop for a group of savvy dog owners in the area (MA, parts of CT/NH/RI etc), consider having Charlie come by… as seen on Animal Planet’s Dogs 101 show!
