Grooming From Puppy to Old Dog

Some of the things which the video go through include clipping puppies, grooming old dogs safely, several different breeds which require different cuts and grooming styles, and even goes over the best way to handle different kinds of toenails, something which many dog owners find very tricky to deal with. The most important aspect of this DVD is that it is so easy to use that even someone who has never groomed a dog before can have a nicely cut and combed dog.

Groom Your Own Dog or Open up a Salon!

You can purchase this DVD through wholesalers like Amazon for around $26.00, though it can also be found in other stores and places like libraries and movie rental places. It’s definitely worth searching for if you own a dog and want to do the grooming yourself or even if you want to learn how to groom dogs and open up your own grooming salon. Regardless of your reason for purchasing this DVD, this one is well worth adding to your library and should be in the collection of any dog owner.

A Good Overview on Dog Grooming

This DVD is as comprehensive as ninety minutes will allow, but of course some things are missing. For example, while you will learn how to do basic trimming and cutting, you won’t be as guided on specific things such as legs, which could be problematic if you own a breed where the leg fur has to be carefully cut and styled. Instead of getting specifics, you will be getting a good overview of what you need to know in order to cut your dog at home and make it look tidy, but certainly not ready for show or anything like that. However, if all you are looking for is information on making your dog look tidy, then this is the DVD for you.

You can find Doggie Cuts at wholesalers such as Amazon for a very reasonable price, considering the amount of information you will be receiving. It is well worth looking into purchasing this video for your library if you own dogs and want to groom your own pets instead of paying someone to do it for you. You can even use this video as a foundation for becoming a groomer yourself; it’s a great beginner’s guide to basic cuts, though it doesn’t go into the same level of detail as many other grooming books and movies.

We would love to hear your comments and thoughs about this book – If you allready own this book, or have read it – Please feel free to leave your comment here bellow!

Comprehensive or not?

There have been some complaints by readers that the book isn’t as comprehensive as it makes itself out to be, but since it does cover over a hundred breeds of dog, there is only so much it can do. Still, some people accuse the author of favoritism – there is more on the poodle breed than many of the other breeds for example. The book also only gives an overview of tools, but nothing on more specifics such as which length of blades to use or what to use where. However, if you are looking for a great overview on dog grooming, this is an excellent book to have at hand.

Purchase the Book

You can purchase The Stone Guide to Grooming for all Dog Breeds at most bookstores and online in stores like Amazon.com. This thick tome goes for a minimum of about $20.00 for a new copy online and $23.07 from Amazon itself. In a bookstore, you would probably end up paying more than this, so buying online would be your best bet. If you want a great book on grooming any breed of dog, this is the book for you.

For First Time Yorkie Owners

This book is perfect for first time owners of Yorkshire Terriers, which means that if you already know a lot about the breed and want more specialized knowledge, this book isn’t as good for you. It’s a very basic guide to Yorkshire Terrier care and while this makes it great for those who have never owned a Yorkie before, it’s not so great for those who have had experience with these dogs.

Buy it Online

You can purchase Yorkshire Terriers for Dummies in any bookstore or online at Amazon.com. At Amazon, the book is currently going for $11.55 from the company, or cheaper if you want to order from another bookstore. At such a low price and with so much information, you would be a fool not to buy this book when you’re deciding to buy your new Yorkshire Terrier as this book will go over everything you’ll ever need to know about them.

Professional and Straightforward

This is a really good investment if you wish to groom your terriers at home rather than go to a groomer’s every time your dog needs a cleaning or a trim. Owners have found that their jobs have been better after watching this video and that they have quickly picked up the knack of grooming their terriers professionally and more smoothly. Greg Kellas is both a professional and straightforward teacher and he has a background in teaching others how to groom dogs to the point where they are able to open their own grooming practice. Bringing this knowledge to the DVD realm means that far more people are able to take advantage of his skills and knowledge in order to take care of their own dogs.

Can Be a Bit Difficult to Follow

This DVD is currently going for $32.00 USD for a new copy at Amazon.com. This is a very reasonable price to pay, not only for Greg Kellas’ knowledge, but also for the sheer amount of information packed in a DVD that’s only an hour in length. Since there is so much, it can be a bit difficult to follow, but if you start with some basis of knowledge for grooming (if nothing else, what didn’t work!) then you should be able to follow this informative DVD fine.

Have you watched it?

We would love to hear your thoughs about this DVD. You are more then welcome to post your own review or thoughts about it in the comment section here bellow!

Very General Information

This book is a general guide in how to groom your dog and this means that there is very little specific information on how to groom certain breeds of dogs or how to achieve certain cuts. Some people have complained that for more specialized pieces of knowledge, the book merely refers readers to their local groomer. Dog Grooming for Dummies also doesn’t have much in the way of pictures, so if you are more of a visual learner, this book won’t be as helpful to you. This book does go over basic daily cleaning routines such as bathing and brushing very well, so if this is what you’re looking for, then this is the book for you.

Price and Where to Buy

You can purchase Dog Grooming for Dummies from any bookstore as well as from Amazon.com. Amazon is the cheaper place to get it though. You can find the book starting from around $8.00 for a used copy and a new one starts at around $14.00, which is a real steal for a book this large and comprehensive. If you are a dog owner and want to extend your personal book library with some basic grounding in all aspects of grooming, then this is the book for you.
