NAPCG Workshop in Pittsburgh: April 21-22

The wonderful Bullet Brown and her daughter Kelcie made a stop in Pittsburgh after they lectured at a trade show in Russia. Bullet is the president of the National Association of Professional Creative Groomers (NAPCG).
Amy "Bullet" Brown and her daughter, Kelcie “The National Association of Professional Creative Groomers was founded to provide groomers with the necessary information to understand and effectively utilize creative grooming techniques in the salon as well as the competition ring without compromising the comfort or safety of the animal involved. While the NAPCG benefits groomers, we serve the animals as we promote safety and quality in creative grooming by defining and supporting standards of excellence for the grooming industry. Through NAPCG-sponsored lectures and educational material, groomers are able to expand their repertoire of professional skills beyond the basics, increasing their business’ marketability while safely unleashing their creativity.” – taken directly from the NAPCG website

During a two-day course, all the attendees learned the technical side of creative grooming, the harsh reality of bleaching a dog, ways to price creative services, and much more. Day one was strictly lecture, and day two was a hands-on workshop.

Chrissy Dodson Marburger hosted the workshop at her salon, A Diamond in the Ruff. Below are some pictures from the workshop.
