A Groomer's Guide to the 15 Coat Types with Jennifer Bishop-Jenkins

Join us for an exclusive, in-depth grooming education seminar with world-renowned educator Jennifer Bishop-Jenkins, MA, ICMG, PGC, as she presents her signature class — “A Groomer's Guide to the 15 Coat Types”

While there has never been an official list of dog coat types for the grooming industry, maybe there ought to be! Jennifer has compiled a list that is helping to change the industry and standardize what specific and separate grooming strategies are required for each of the 15 Coat Types. Each one has “Do’s and Don’ts” based on the scientific, genetic, and physical structure of the hair or fur of that type dog.

This comprehensive five-hour seminar will help groomers of all levels truly understand coat types, texture, and structure — the foundation of every proper grooming technique. Jennifer will break down each of the 15 recognized coat types, teaching how to preserve coat integrity, choose the right products, and adapt grooming methods to maintain the dog’s natural condition and style.

🎟️ Your ticket includes an exclusive 11” x 17” “15 Coat Types” poster personally signed by Jennifer Bishop-Jenkins (a $20 value), plus a Certificate of Completion.

Whether you’re new to the industry or a seasoned professional, you’ll gain valuable knowledge that elevates your skill, confidence, and quality of work.
