A very complete and detailed dog grooming guide. Is a good resourse to be used in complete grooming courses.

A good basic book for beginners, but for advanced groomers, not so much. Some of the patterns are off and there is some misinformation for some breeds. Perhaps if this book were updated that would make it more applicable and marketable.

Just what I expected. This book had all the info I was looking for and more. But that's what I've come to expect when dealing with amazon

I think this book was useful and easy to read.
The format makes it easy to check while the book is open.
I liked the step-by step descriptions and the setup - which is very well arranged. There are drawings on each breed mentioned, some drawings better than others - but still the drawings are nice and very useful. In the more demanding breeds there is drawings on several details and sometimes several angles, this was very helpful in understanding the text.
I also liked the introduction part where equipment and techniques are described. You should read this part carefully before you start reading about the different breeds, especially if you are a beginner like me.

I would prefer an even more detailed description on some more popular breeds as flatcoated retriever, bernese mountaindog and other breeds with similar groomingdescriptions in the book on usual "small stuff" - shortening and trimming of ears and tail etc. I would also have preferred that stripping procedures could be mentioned - in addition to clipping - with regards to the terrier breeds. The book does mention though that it describes "pet grooming", and thus should not expect to give a perfect show result.
What this book lacks in respect to pet grooming is that there is only one style described for every breed. For many pets it may be more attractive to owners who do not want to use much time grooming their dog to cut the dog in an alternate style - but for this you can use your imagination or another book, and the drawings of each breed are helpful when discussing how the owner wants his or her dog groomed.

I recommend this book to anyone who wants to start as a groomer, pet or show, or if you are interested and want to groom your own dogs and maybe help some friends with grooming.

This book was purchased for a grooming class I took. It provided a wealth of information and will be a great information tool in the future. Great content!
