Encouraging for newbies July 6, 2009
C. D. Herbin (Tucson, AZ)
Prior to now, I've always had dogs that required only an occasional bath and a brush, but I have a new little one that requires serious maintenance. She's TERRIFIED of anyone else (long story), so I wanted to learn how to groom her at home with less stress for us both. This book has helped us work through some issues -- we're still not perfect, but it's a practical book with real information and helpful tips to give ME the courage to get out those shears and that shampoo and get busy. I recommend it for beginners.Dog Grooming For Dummies (For Dummies (Pets))

Delivery was prompt. Book was more worn than expected but still good. I would buy from this seller again.
Good book for beginner February 26, 2009
CastletonTrader (Northern NY)
Good book as far as teaching the fundamentals and explaining why things are done the way they are. It just didn't help me as much as I expected because it lacks details on grooming specific breeds.
 Great book for the novice or professional February 11, 2009

This book was a disappointment: was not about grooming your pet to a certain cut, or which parts to do first, blade differences for paws and ears, but more about how to get your dog into a tub or be brushed. Some nice tips on getting nasty things out of fur, but anything more than that, the book seems to recommend going to ask your local pet groomer to teach you. Not helpful for folks looking to undertake seriously grooming their pet. I did try the Everything Dog Grooming book, which was much more helpful.
