Customer Reviews

Lots of information

I got this book when I was starting to learn to become a professional dog groomer and this helped me a lot with understanding the different length blades and what part of the dogs they go on. And different types of coats and what brushes to use on them.

Dog Grooming

I really liked this book. It was helpful to me in all the areas that I needed a grooming book for. The tool recommendations plus the way the book was written itself I found interesting and helpful in grooming my pets at home.

A "Must Have" For Dog Owners

This book does provide a lot of helpful hints and information. It is a good item for dog owners.

Re: Dog Grooming for Dummies

Although I used to be a Vet Tech for years & years, I found this book to be very thorough and informative. It explains step by step how to do everything from basic dog handling and bathing; to more specific procedures, as how brush, groom, clip (including which number blades to be using on different areas)as well as addressing the 'how to's' for various breeds. I highly recommend it, especially for a beginner!

Very Good

I own this book personally. I am just starting in the field of Dog Grooming and this book was EXTREMELY helpful. It was very clear to understand what the writer was talking about. I give it two thumbs way up.

Not for Dummies -- a note from the author

This is my newest book out and I hope you take a look at it. Unlike a lot of grooming books, this one is the most conprehensive when it comes to grooming your dog. Whether it's training your dog to accept grooming, handling bad-hair days, getting your dog ready for the show ring, or dealing with medical conditions or real hair emergencies, this book handles it all in a friendly, fun and conversational tone. Whether you just want to give your dog a back, clip him back in a pet cut, or do your dog's own "do", this book is definitely for you!
