About Sasha Riess:
Welcome to the Sasha Riess Grooming Standard. It is my great pleasure and honor to present to you Sasha Riess a leader and pioneer in the field of professional and personal dog care.
Sasha Riess began grooming dogs at the age of 16 while working as a young vet-tech assistant as he was studying Veterinary Medicine. He fell in love with the dogs because he saw the special connections people shared with their dogs. Refusing to consent to the practice of factory farming he dropped out of college and pursued grooming full time. During his 30 years spend working in show dog industry and grooming competitions he came to the realizations that dogs are so much more than prized possessions, in fact they are integral members of our families often replacing the bond of parent child dynamics.
His Career led him to rise to the top of the show dog world having travelled the world and achieving countless of ‘Best in Show’ title Sasha Riess retired from the show dog world and opened the first dog grooming academy in his second home town Belgrade, Serbia. His students rave about their professor on social-media, and there are countless of interviews with his former students on instagram raving about the knowledge they have acquired both technically but most importantly philosophically.
Today Sasha Riess spends his time scientifically researching the phenomenon of family constellation therapy in relation to the man dog relationship. He passionately teaches students in two different time zones. He has published two books, and co-published one. His premium line of dog care shampoo and conditioner are actively being sold on four continents.
