The definitive show grooming Masterclass for English Cocker Spaniel owners — master styling, breed presentation and ring etiquette so you walk into every show with total confidence.
Everything you need to groom and present your English Cocker Spaniel to the highest show standard — from coat conditioning to competition-day confidence.
Learn how to stack, stand and move your dog to highlight breed type and structure the way judges expect.
Master the art of the show styling, blending, finessing and feathering for a polished ring finish.
Understand the breed standard in full and apply precise scissoring that meets show-ring expectations every time.
Build a conditioning routine — bathing schedules, coat wrapping and products that keep your dog's coat in peak condition.
Navigate the show ring with confidence: gaiting patterns, judge interaction and how to present yourself as well as your dog.
Finishing touches — chalk, sprays, last-minute tidying and how to stay calm under pressure.
This pathway is tailored specifically to show dog owners and those entering the competitive ring.

I had purchased the online cocker spaniel masterclass, which has been extremely helpful but I felt I needed a one to one experience to help me gain confidence in my stying , I still can’t quite believe I had the chance to do it ! I am very grateful for the time , guidance and knowledge that was shared.
