1. This book is full of useful information, but unfortunately it is lacking in illustrations or photos that would help the “Dummies” learn from scratch how to bathe, clip, and otherwise groom their dogs. This is too visual/hands on a process to be simply described in words.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. This was purchased just in time to supplement the adult Ed. Intro to Pet (dog) Grooming classes (10 hours) at the local JVS.
   
   The class is strictly an INTRO to dog grooming, BUT, was disappointed that instructor/school for our $150 fee did NOT give us an actual book on the subject. We got some printed copies of pages from insructor’s book…
   
   DOG GROOMING for DUMMIES is a GREAT source for home groomer want-to-be’s.
   
   I think it is well written and not at all boring.
   
   I am glad I got it for I have 2 new pups and two older dogs, and, I I have found out, I can do a LOT more for both me and the dogs’ benefit.

5. 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!
