00:00 Okay, so make sure all everything's in proportion.
00:04 You got nice clear muzzles.
00:05 If you need to hot glue gun,
00:09 make sure it's, yeah, everything's put in place.
00:13 If we're using our spray paints,
00:16 we're gonna do that outside,
00:18 but we need everything put into different sections.
00:21 - Okay, so my name's Bonnie Harrison.
00:23 I'm the pet grooming teacher at Yellow Tafe.
00:25 We have international judges.
00:27 So we've got a judge coming from Italy, New Zealand,
00:30 and an Australian judge.
00:31 They're going to be critiquing and assessing
00:34 my students' model dogs of all different creations.
00:38 So there'll be a first, second, and third place.
00:41 So this is really a good step in the door for new groomers
00:45 to express their creative side at the Royal Easter Show,
00:50 and also to watch master groomers
00:53 as perform their art on all these different breeds
00:55 that they may have never seen before, except in a book.
00:59 So they'll be watching their techniques,
01:01 watching their skills,
01:03 and learning as they're watching the show,
01:05 and also an opportunity for them
01:08 to get some critiquing and feedback on their model dogs
01:12 of all their hard work that they've put in for this course.
01:15 May Wong, who is the creator and runs the Royal Easter Show,
01:19 was kind enough to allow my students
01:21 to have their own category in the grooming competition.
