2.0 out of 5 stars Dog Grooming for Dummies, October 10, 2007
This review is from: Dog Grooming For Dummies (Paperback)
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars More like Dog Bathing For Dummies, January 2, 2009
This review is from: Dog Grooming For Dummies (Paperback)
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.
