Learn how to make the cut as a groomer

Pet owners who have always wanted to brush, comb, clip and wash their own pets can learn how at two upcoming Adult Education classes at the Escondido Humane Society.

The dog and cat grooming classes will teach pet owners how to maintain a happy, healthy – and huggable! – house pet and save money on trips to the groomer. Susan Divine-Sholar, head instructor at the California School of Dog Grooming and licensed American Kennel Club judge, will lead both courses.

The classes will be held on March 6 at the Escondido Humane Society, 3450 E. Valley Parkway. The dog grooming class is from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.; the cat grooming class will follow from 1 to 3 p.m. Cost is $40 for one class, $60 for both.
