Johan — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:05:10 +0000

“Grooming Your Dog: Basic Haircuts” is a highly instructive video from Susie Ward and Ena Lane. This DVD teaches novice groomers how to cut and comb their dogs to get a clean appearance without the aid of a professional groomer. Unlike many groomers who try their best to teach their clients how to do basic grooming, but end up missing stuff simply because they don’t think about it anymore, this DVD goes through everything in thorough detail and in a clear and cheerful manner that anyone can follow. Basic Haircuts goes through everything from brushing and combing and bathing, to trimming beards, paw pads, and giving your dog a good clipping so that you can achieve a groomer’s look without paying for it and enjoy bonding with your dog at the same time.

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.

Doggie Cuts is a how to DVD starring Dick Van Patten which teaches you various hair cuts for different breeds of dog as well as teaching a basic foundation in bathing and combing. The ability to bathe and groom your own dog is one that many owners want because it will save the owner money and save the dog the hassle of going away from home to get groomed. Grooming is also a great bonding activity between a pet and his owner. Doggie Cuts goes over all of the basic things you’ll need to know about how to groom your dog, such as bathing, combing, and trimming, especially concentrating on long haired breeds since they require more cutting care.

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.

Grooming Terriers is an in depth DVD on how to groom various breeds of terriers. From the Yorkshire Terriers to Wheaten Terriers and many others. The DVD is narrated and made by the award winning groomer Greg Kellas who will teach you all of the tricks and ways to make your terrier look fantastic without an expensive trip to the groomer. This movie is one hour in length and goes over the supplies you’ll need, how to groom various terriers and how to do things like strip your terrier’s fur. Like all of Greg Kellas’ other instructional DVDs, this one will teach you how to brush, bathe, and trim your terrier’s fur, as well as do the things which are specifically required by this breed when grooming it

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.
