WHAT DO SCHNAUZERHOLICS SAY WHO HAVE ATTENDED OUR COURSE? 

People who have attended the course say: 
  • Thank you once again for this enlightening course. I thought that grooming my own dogs would be difficult, complicated and that I may not groom correctly. But as you show us step by step how to, this is actually an easy, and rewarding thing to do with my Schnauzers. I'm especially grateful for sharing what equipment to buy, so that we can make the correct purchasing decisions the first time. I highly recommend this Deborah's workshop as an all round and easy to apply grooming course.  Claire Murfin
  • Thank you so much for a well presented and very informative workshop! I learned a great deal because of all the information you provided, and the fact that you gave us a chance to handle the clippers during the workshop has given me the confidence to start that I was lacking before the workshop. The info that you printed and laminated was such a great touch and very useful as a reference tool. I also loved that you had some basic tools and Schnauzer branded bags/aprons that we could buy on the day – which as you know was a hit with everyone there."- Risma Viljoen
  • Just a note to say thank you so much for your very insightful and detailed Schnauzer grooming course.  I really enjoyed it and the practical tips, advice and instructions will go a long way in me being able to happily groom my lovely fur kids and for them to spend quality time with their mom. I traveled all the way from Cape Town and can recommend it to anyone, it is truly worth it! Birlene Cole
  • Thanks Deborah, you made understanding miniature schnauzer grooming so easy. I am so excited to start grooming  Bailey!  The Lawrence brush you sold to me has changed my life. It makes brushing so much easier!  Lynne Eekhof
  •  I thoroughly enjoyed everything about the course! The theory was presented well, and the “practical” grooming session most useful. I have started to groom my Schnauzers and am comforting myself with the thought that I’m just their Mommy and not a professional! I have to do it in fits and starts as I want them to enjoy the experience and don’t want them to resent the exercise. So it’s a few minutes at a time. But at least they’re starting to  look like Schnauzers and not wild woollies! Thanks so much for the opportunity to learn. Dot Foster
  • I found the grooming chart theory so interesting. I appreciate that you also went over the grooming equipment, so now I know what I need to buy ! I am confident now to start grooming. Before I just didn't know where to start.  Belinda Porter
  • Thanks so much for the warm Schnauzer welcome I received and for sharing your home and family on the day.  Fantastic course – I came home to point out all the errors on our dear schnauzers to my hubby John – felt like a super star! Thanks once again for your time and effort you put into this wonderful breed.  Sonja Arnold
  • ​Steven and I just want to say a huge thank you for the course.  We learned so much and look forward to Merlin’s first groom. Catherine Barry-Venter
  • Thank you for a stunning afternoon yesterday. I loved every minute of it.  Leslie Smith
