An enriching experience for grooming lovers!
The Pomeranian Workshop was so successful that we had to split it into two days to meet the increased demand for participation. So on 20 and 21 October 2024, Laboratoire Diamex organised two days of training dedicated to Pomeranian grooming. These workshops brought together more than thirty professionals and private individuals with a passion for grooming, keen to expand their knowledge and perfect their techniques in a friendly, supportive environment.
Workshops led by Mélanie Schmit, THE breed specialist!
Both workshops were led by Pomeranian expert Mélanie Schmit. Her extensive experience and passion for this breed enabled participants to acquire high-level skills, while benefiting from personalised advice. The workshops were structured around detailed theoretical explanations and practical demonstrations covering the entire grooming process, from bathing and finishing to specific cutting and care techniques.
High-quality teaching!
As with all her workshops, Mélanie began with a theoretical session during which she discussed how to handle and care for a Pomeranian’s coat, the dog’s anatomy, skin conditions, and common misconceptions about grooming. Mélanie pays particular attention to the use of the right grooming products, such as professional shampoos and conditioners by Diamex, to ensure a healthy coat. Brushing and drying techniques – which are often overlooked – were also covered in depth to teach participants and observers how to provide the appropriate care for this breed’s distinctive coat.
The day continued with the practical session, during which each participant had the opportunity to replicate the techniques that Mélanie had meticulously demonstrated and explained. They learnt how to adapt grooming techniques to suit the dog’s body shape and were given tips on working on more delicate areas such as the head, paws and tail, to ensure a harmonious and balanced result. The training session concluded with an interactive session where participants were able to ask questions and receive personalised feedback on their work.
A space for discussion and professional development !
Beyond the technical aspects, these workshops also provided an opportunity for groomers to share their personal experiences. The breaks and informal get-togethers allowed participants to chat freely amongst themselves and with Mélanie, creating a genuine group dynamic that fostered learning. The warm and collaborative atmosphere helped to make these two days a particularly enriching experience, both on a personal and professional level.
An experience not to be missed!
The Pomeranian Workshops held on 20 and 21 October 2024 were undeniably a success. Thanks to Mélanie Schmit’s high-quality teaching, these two days enabled those in attendance to hone their skills and exchange ideas with other enthusiasts of the breed.
If you missed this session, don’t worry! Laboratoire Diamex is already planning more to continue sharing with the community of animal and grooming enthusiasts. In the meantime, you can find all our events in the section Upcoming events.
