Summary

“Grooming your dogs yourself is an incredible way to show affection while strengthening your bond and building trust with your dogs. Trust Jorge and he’ll show you how to groom your dogs right.” –Cesar Millan

With a foreword by leading expert in dog behavior Cesar Millan, best known for his Emmy-nominated television series Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan, DIY Dog Grooming offers easy-to-follow, expert instruction on every aspect of grooming.
 
Master dog groomer to the stars Jorge Bendersky bathes, brushes, trims, and pampers some pretty important pooches. Nevertheless, the fundamental skills and techniques he uses every day in his Manhattan salon can and should be in every dog owner’s repertoire. From breed identification to tool selection, clipping to scissoring, Bendersky shares, in his unmistakably playful way, the tricks of his trade:

  • Simple, step-by-step instructions for everything from bathing to brushing.
  • Practical solutions to common problems like fleas and ticks, dirt and mud.
  • Creative suggestions for grooming a picture-perfect dog.
  • How to use items from your pantry for grooming when pet store products are not available.

With DIY Dog Grooming as your guide, your canine companion will never again suffer a bad hair day.
