Understanding the Canine Coat
Every grooming decision begins with the coat. Understanding how different coat types grow, function and respond to grooming allows you to choose techniques that protect the coat while achieving better results for the dog.
Rather than simply identifying coat types, Understanding the Canine Coat explores the purpose, structure and grooming considerations behind each one. From smooth coats to hybrids, you'll learn why different coats behave the way they do and how your approach should change to suit them.
In this course you'll learn about:
The structure and function of the major canine coat types.
How coat growth influences grooming decisions.
Grooming considerations for smooth, double, wire, curly, drop, combination and hairless coats.
Understanding crossover and hybrid coats.
Recognising why different coat types require different techniques and maintenance.
Applying your knowledge to make more informed grooming decisions.
Whether you're building your foundation knowledge or refining your understanding of more complex coats, this course provides the knowledge behind the grooming decisions you make every day.
