Jodi Murphy's New Book - Dog Grooming Simplified

Jodi has been well respected as an educator in the grooming industry for many years. She was ranked one of the top pet stylists in the world, winning countless titles including World Grand Champion and Best American Groomer. Jodi is here to share with you her knowledge in this extraordinary grooming book. With over 190 breeds recognized by the American Kennel Club along with individual breed-specific grooming instructions, it can become very overwhelming for groomers to retain the information. "Straight to the Point” is the solution to understanding pattern lines, which simplifies the learning process. Whether the patterns are set tight, left more natural or scissored...they are set in the same fashion. Once a groomer understands basic patterns and canine structure, he or she will be able to groom any breed with ease. With over 400 beautiful color images, including some of the top winning show dogs in the country, groomers will be able to see proper pattern placement on real dogs. These fabulous photos can be used as a reference that will facilitate in executing a perfect pet trim. A pet dog does not have to be groomed using “show” techniques, i.e., hand stripping, to present the proper breed profile. With proper pattern placement and techniques described in this text, the groomer will be able to present a well-balanced, well-blended pet trim to the pet owner.
