Kenl Inn (kenl-inn.com) is celebrating four of their stylists in the groom salon, who recently completed on-line training from Paragon Pet School.

Level one training consists of teaching the foundational skills necessary for a successful start in

one’s pet grooming career including: canine psychology, safe pet handling, brushing/combing, nail trimming, ear cleaning, preparatory hair trimming, introduction to clipper techniques, drying, customer service skills, equipment handling/maintenance, safety and sanitation.

Level 2 consists of teaching the intermediate skills necessary to properly groom typical dogs encountered in a typical grooming salon environment. The learner will go over low-maintenance clipper trims, basic head styling, foundational scissoring skills, pet handling skills, introduction to dog nutrition/ pet health, practical grooming techniques using Melissa Verplank’s book, “Theory of 5”, parasites, vaccines, disease, common illnesses, pet first aid and CPR.

Level 3 is one of the most advanced and in-depth programs focused on practicing, perfecting, and testing your grooming skills on dogs commonly found in salons.  This lesson will concentrate on teaching AKC breed history, theory/identification, pattern, breed-specific trims, corrective grooming, basic hand stripping and client communications.

Set on 44 acres just outside of Lincoln, Kenl Inn is devoted to providing the best possible care for your pets. For more information visit kenl-inn.com, or contact (402) 488-8190 / dian@kenl-inn.com.
