Angela Kumpe is a top creative pet stylist. Many creative groomers pull their inspiration from children’s comic characters. That’s where this fun concept came from. Angela’s concept for this creative design came from the Care Bear series. Cheer Bear is the pink bear with a rainbow on her belly.
The dog she uses in this lesson was equally inspiring. This little poodle mix is a very easy going little dog that spends the majority of her time on her back looking for belly rubs. This is the perfect creative design for her. Plus, she’s perfect to groom. As you watch Angela apply the rainbow on her chest, this little pooch is so relaxed for the grooming process, she’s falling asleep!
In this lesson Angela give you all the details you need to create this design. She talks about the types of dyes she uses that are safe for the pet. She demonstrates how to apply the color. What is the best order to apply the color. How to keep the colors from smearing into other areas of the coat. How to apply the pink dye safely around the eyes and muzzle of the pet. Once this adorable little dog is bathed and dried, Angela shows you how to enhance areas that might be a bit light with the semi-permanent color.
When we were not filming, this little dog spent her time at a luxury pet resort. She was a huge hit with the staff and clients. Needless to say, she spent a large portion of her time in the staff’s arms, upside down _ showing off her rainbow and soaking up all the attention!
