Lots of information
Published by Amy , 1 year ago
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.

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.

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
