Grooming dogs properly takes patience, time, energy and a lot of practice. With the Starzclub Model Dog, learning to scissor and style becomes child’s play!


You can only get better by practicing

Learning to groom dogs can be very stressful for students. The Model Dog is ideal for grooming schools as these dogs do not move, do not bite and do not need a break, allowing for optimal use of class time. In addition, students do not have to be stressed or afraid of hurting the dog. 

These Model Dogs were designed by expert groomers. They have realistic proportions, provide students with an optimal learning experience and are the best material for lessons and exams. Model Dogs allow students to achieve their full potential without fear of making mistakes and allow them to learn new styles or models at their own pace. They also save students a lot of time. Once they have chosen a coat, all they have to do is brush it and they can start scissoring. No time is lost on washing and drying. 

These educational practice models are also perfect at competitions or in grooming salons. You can use them in your business to train new employees, to test new ideas or to display your creations in the window of your shop. Present one or more Model Dogs in your shop window and show passing customers your creations and the added value you can offer. There is no better form of advertising!

Model Dogs require only a one-off investment. Because these models are made of a sturdy and durable plastic, they are reusable and better for the environment. You can combine them with different heads and different coats. Want to practice a different breed or style? Simply change the head and you can continue practising! The more coats you buy and the more you practise, the faster you will learn to scissor properly. 

Assembly is super-simple. You can assemble a Model Dog quickly and easily with the screws and screwdriver provided. The legs are firmly secured thanks to the screws, and the securely attachable tail is always perfectly straight and will not fall off and get lost.

Assembly instructions for this Model Dog

1.     Take one leg and attach it to the appropriate place (on the sides of the body where there are cut-outs). 

2.     Take 1 screw and place it in the hole provided in the upper part of the leg.

3.     Tighten the screw using the tool provided. You can tighten the legs as much as you like. 

4.     Repeat the previous steps for the other 3 legs. 

5.     Attach the eyes, nose and tail by pushing the pins into the holes provided. It is important to first attach the coat to the Model Dog before attaching the eyes and nose. The best way to do this is to make small holes in the coat for the nose and eyes ( with the other side of the screwdriver).  

How to attach the coat to the Model Dog 

1.     Lay the dog with its stomach down and put its back and front legs up.

2.     Then start pulling the coat over the head. It is important that you apply the coat on the head correctly. Otherwise, the rest of the coat will not fit on the dog. Push hard so that the coat stays on the head.  

3.     Now pull the coat over the front legs. When you have put the coat on the front legs, push them down. Put the hind legs in the coat as well. Once you have applied the coat there, you can push the hind legs downwards.

4.     Don't forget to attach the tail on the dog's rear end.   

5.     Brush the coat with a slicker before you start scissoring and styling.
 

How to remove the coat of this Model Dog

1.     First remove the eyes and nose.

2.     Undo the buttons on the belly.

3.     Lay the dog with its stomach down and put its back and front legs straight up.

4.     Pull the coat off one of the legs and do the same for the other 3 legs.
