Great condition

Super informative and great condition

Great book for learning and improving your dog grooming

My granddaughter-in-law is learning to be a dog groomer. She really enjoyed this book and felt it was a great addition to her library. From what she has told me I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn the right way to groom their dog or other's animals.

Chris Sertzel

Very good overall book. Has more foundational info about hand stripping and carding and rolling a coat than even "Notes From the Grooming Table".

Great for would be groomers

I found this book to be full of helpful information with clear instructions and explanations. The pictures are excellent. After reading this anyone would feel comfortable approaching any type of coat. It would be perfect to have in front of you in the salon and it lists every item needed for each design. It goes into great detail of the more tricky styles, as well as combatting any problems. All the info is here. Well worth the purchase.I see myself keeping this one for many, many years to come.

Ultimate Dog Grooming

I really like this book. I found it to be very informative with lovely pictures, it does'nt get to technical and has clear instructions on how to cut the coats of the dogs. For someone who is fairly new to the industry I certainly found this book very useful, I think you will too.

Pretty good - great photos

The author has more of a UK/European-centric view of things, meaning she focuses more on hand-stripping certain breeds than clipping them, as is more the custom in the US. That's not a bad thing, as there isn't enough info in US books about hand-stripping and her pattern illustrations are nice and can be adapted to clipping. The breed and step-by-step photos are beautiful. This actually would be a good book to keep in a grooming salon lobby for customers to see.
