5Great Detail  Jul 24, 2000
By Glenda K. Campbell
As a pet owner I have been searching for a dog grooming book for the normal person to understand and I have found it in this book. The illustrations and written descriptions are very clear and have helped me to understand what to do and how to do it. Some books only give you partial details but The Stone Guide is precise and descriptive. I would highly reccommend this to anyone, beginners or beyond.

5THE STONE GUIDE TO DOG GROOMING ALL BREEDS  Oct 28, 2000

This is an excellent book for everyone, including kids. It shows photos of different breeds and the supplies needed. It shows you the proper brushing, bathing, and clipping techniques and the supplies needed for individual breeds. It shows the different styles for each breed and how to control snappy dogs. It also gives you ideas and suggestions for setting up you own grooming shop. It is an all around great book for beginners up.

NICE BOOK IF YOU ONLY NEED TO LEARN HOW TO BATHE, TRIM EARS OR CLIP NAILS. DOESNT TELL YOU WHAT SIZE ATTACHMENTS TO USE OR WHAT PART OF THE BODY TO USE THE DIFFERENT ATTACHMENTS.ITS BETTER IF YOU HAVE A POODLE, MORE PAGES DEVOTED TO IT. ONLY ONE PER OTHER DOG!

3Not great, but not bad either.  Dec 12, 2005
By R. B. Colvin
I use this book for my clients to look at while picking their dogs new hair cut. The book leaves out some breeds but covers most, and has faily good drawings. There still are better books out there.
