5.0 out of 5 stars Haircuts for your dog and much more, November 22, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Grooming Your Dog BASIC HAIRCUTS [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is an excellent and practical dog grooming video for learning how to do pet clips and grooming at home. A simplified basic pet haircut that can be adapted to look good on a variety of breeds is presented from start to finish. Everything is clearly explained so that any pet owner can follow along and achieve professional looking results.

For owners of dogs that just need to be "tidied up", there is plenty here. Close up camera angles show how to trim beards and hair fringing the eyes in styles that work well for various breeds. Scissoring the Poodle top knot and the Schnauzer head are outstanding segments.

Using a clipper and using scissors are both covered as are all important aspects of grooming that must be performed for all dogs. Highlights are the angst producing chores of cutting nails and removing hair from the inner ears. Both of these procedures are demonstrated with close up camera angles for the novice to understand the mechanics involved.

Owners of new puppies learn how to get their dogs off to the right start via a demonstration of how to handle a puppy efficiently and with confidence during his first bath. The same useful tips and advice apply for adult dogs. The older dog is not forgotten with the inclusion of the compassionate closing segment that outlines special considerations when grooming the elder companion.

2.0 out of 5 stars Aimed in the right direction, but it missed the target, September 22, 2001

Ray and Penelope (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Grooming Your Dog BASIC HAIRCUTS [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The advertising and packaging for this video gave me a good first
impression, but the contents of the video itself had more than it's
fair share of shortcomings. For one, the actual hair trimming and
clipping demonstrated was very limited. I felt there was adequate
time spent only on what was called the "puppy cut", but that
style seemed inappropriate for most breeds that I could think of,
especially for my standard poodle. The most popular styles that my
groomer told me to look for were not demonstrated or even
discussed.

The groomer was pleasant, but as a novice I found it
difficult to follow the choppy format she utilized, and I felt like a
lot of required information was left out. (Many of the cuts she
mentioned were not even shown or demonstrated to the viewer.) [...]

To sum it up, some of the comments made by the groomer
were helpful, but this video was not very redeeming overall, and it
certainly was not cost-effective. A video described as being
"basic" should be just that; it should at least provide
enough information to get you started, but my educated opinion is that
this one does not.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Video!, November 8, 2001

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Grooming Your Dog BASIC HAIRCUTS [VHS] (VHS Tape)

If you want to learn how to groom your dog, this video is for you! I have wanted to learn how to groom my two Shih Tzu's at home. This video made it possible! It shows how to groom your dog safely and efficiently. Now when I go to work at the Kennel I can also help to groom the dogs there! This video is great! I don't even have to buy another one!
