Book Reviews of Dog Grooming For Dummies
Book Review: Encouraging for newbies
Summary: 4 Stars
Prior to now, I've always had dogs that required only an occasional bath and a brush, but I have a new little one that requires serious maintenance. She's TERRIFIED of anyone else (long story), so I wanted to learn how to groom her at home with less stress for us both. This book has helped us work through some issues -- we're still not perfect, but it's a practical book with real information and helpful tips to give ME the courage to get out those shears and that shampoo and get busy. I recommend it for beginners.Dog Grooming For Dummies (For Dummies (Pets))Book Review: Dog Grooming For Dummies (For Dummies (Pets))
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Book Review: More like Dog Bathing For Dummies
Summary: 2 Stars
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.Book Review: Re: Dog Grooming for Dummies
Summary: 5 Stars
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!Book Review: NOT DETAILED ENOUGH
Summary: 2 Stars
THE BOOK WAS NOT DETAIL ENOUGH ON SPECIFIC BREEDS-I HAVE A COCKER AND THEY JUST SAID SHOULD BE TREATED SAMED AS INSTRUCTIONS FOR LONG HAIRED DOGS. I WAS HOPING FOR MORE DETAILED GROOMING BY BREED, LIKE WHAT NUMBER BLADE TO USE ON EACH PART OF BODY AND MORE ILLUSTRATION OF INSTRUCTIONS.
I WAS DISAPPOINTED- THIS WAS THE FIRST "FOR DUMMIES" BOOK I HAVE PURCHASED THAT I WAS NOT REALLY HAPPY WITH.
