EVERYTHING
DOG GROOMING
BOOK
Dear Reader,
Before I was a groomer, I remember bathing my own dogs in the bathtub in the house, wrangling with them to stay in the tub, and not run off dragging suds behind them. By the time it was all over, I was as wet as they were, and exhausted! Then came the fun part cleaning up after the monsoon! Hair, water, and suds were everywhere; I was wet, stinky, and tired; and the dog was loose in the house, shaking water over everything and running amok. It was not a pretty sight.
Then there was the nail trim: trying to get the wiggling dog to hold still so I wouldn't cut the nail back too pitiful cries of a dog that absolutely far, wondering listening to the trimmed at all, and did not want to have her nails if it was all worth it.
I look back on those days and wish I had known then what I know now (I'll bet my dogs did too!). I have learned so much as a groomer and as the owner of The Groom Room Pet Spa ( www.groomroompetspa.com).
I hope the information in this book makes your own dog grooming experience enjoyable for you and for your dogs.

I wish to thank my many clients and their pets over the years that have made dog grooming not just a job, but also a career and an art for me. I'd also like to thank my sons, Drew and Lane, for their confidence and pride in me, for helping me when needed, and for being patient when I had to work instead of play.
Thanks to my husband Tim for being my handyman, my carpenter, and my helper on the most difficult dogs. Thanks for being the chief cook and bottle washer while I was busy typing, and for believing in me.
Thanks to my online groomer pals Dot Studebaker, Daryl Conner, Debi Hilley, Lois Brown, Yvonne Aitken, Barbara Bird, and Pat Curran for helping me figure out what to say and how to say it; to Casey Werts, a local fellow groomer, for helping me with the photos; and my friend and client Beth York for her input and support.
Thanks to Dr. T. J. Dunn, D.V.M. for his input and wonderful articles on his Web site www.thepetcenter.com , a great resource for pet information of all kinds.
Most of all, I'd like to thank the late Joyce Laughery, who began the first Internet community for groomers ( www.groomers.net ). Her work created a place where groomers could gain knowledge, get support, vent frustrations, and build friendships at the click of a mouse. Joyce was a leader in our industry. Without her, I would never have learned what I know now and I wouldn't have met the wonderful online groomers that have taught me so much over the years. We carry on her legacy by continuing to support and teach each other.
Your hairdresser doesn't give you a bath.
You don't go for weeks at a time without washing your hair.
You don't roll in nasty things before seeing your hairdresser.
Your hairdresser doesn't have to clean your ears.
Your hairdresser doesn't have to demat your hair.
You sit still for your hairdresser.
Your haircut doesn't include a manicure or pedicure.
Your hairdresser only cuts the hair on your head.
You don't try to bite or scratch your hairdresser.
The likelihood of you pooping or peeing while your hair is being cut is slim.
G rooming your dog at home is not the easiest thing to do. Without the proper restraints and tools groomers use, the pet owner is frequently frustrated at his attempts to groom his own dog at home. Many professional groomers' clientele are people who have attempted grooming at home, given up, and called the pros. Some have actually taken their clippers and handed them over to the groomer, swearing they will never touch their dog again! But sometimes you have to wonder why can groomers get the job done but you can't? What's the secret?
