Download or read book DIY Dog Grooming, From Puppy Cuts to Best in Show written by Jorge Bendersky and published by . This book was released on 2014-03 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can often tell how healthy a dog is by the appearance of its coat. Grooming your dog regularly offers clues to her health: It nips potential health problems, like allergies, poor nutrition, parasites, or diseases, in the bud--or at least gives you some early warning about them. Grooming also makes your dog (and you) comfortable socializing whilst also stopping the spread of dirt, fleas, and germs. You can conveniently groom your dog in the comfort of your home. But perhaps the biggest benefit to grooming your dog yourself is strengthening your bond with them. DIY Dog Grooming, From Puppy Cuts to Best in Show by Jorge Bendersky, and foreword by Cesar Milan, will show you how to take the best care of your dog, regardless of breed, temperament, or age. Practical step-by-step photos will take you through everything you need to know to bathe and trim your dogs, plus care for their nails, ears, teeth, and more. Learn how to train them to relax and enjoy grooming. "While you can make excuses not to take your dog to the groomer, you have no reason to make excuses for not doing it yourself any longer." -Cesar Millan Inside you'll find: - 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.

Download or read book Dog Grooming Simplified written by Jodi Murphy and published by . This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jodi has been well respected as an educator in the grooming industry for many years. She is one of the top pet stylists in the world winning multiple titles included World Grand Champion and Best American Groomer. She is here to share her knowledge in this extraordinary book.With over 190 breeds recognized by the American Kennel Club along with individual breed-specific grooming instructions, it can become very overwhelming for new groomers to retain the information. Straight to the Point is the solution to learning about pattern lines, which simplifies the learning process. Whether the patterns are set tight or left more natural, the patterns are set in the same fashion. Once a groomer understands basic patterns he or she will be able to groom any breed with ease.The dogs pictured in this book are top winning show dogs presenting the correct profile according to their breed standards. Jodi chose to illustrate this way for several reasons. First, a show dog presents an excellent representation of the breed and how it should be groomed per the breed standard. Second, the reader will be able to see the realistic depth and dimensions of the coat. Last, it will give the reader a vision of the pattern in a realistic view and will be a great reference source when grooming each breed.Once the groomer understands correct pattern placement, it can easily be applied to pet trims. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Structure: the foundation for health and function What sets apart the average dog enthusiast from the expert? Often itâs an in-depth knowledge of the anatomy of the dog and a solid understanding of terminology used in the world of dogs. Do you know what a judge is talking about when he mentions âstifle let-down,â âshallow brisket,â or âexcessive angulation?â K-9 Structure and Terminology defines and illustrates these and hundreds of other terms in easy to understand language so you can train your mind and eye to evaluate dogs. All dogs need sound structure for health, show, work, or sport, and, by learning to see beneath the skin the reader will be more able to work with, understand, and appreciate canis familiaris. Gain a better understanding of: ⢠Breed Standards including breed variations. ⢠How the original purpose of the breed is expressed in the structure of the dog. ⢠Terminology used in veterinary care and dog sports, especially Conformation. ⢠How to identify what is right and sound in any dog you encounter. Bonus! A 31-page glossary of words including common and less common terms. What experts are saying about K-9 Structure and Terminology: "If you wish to significantly improve your knowledge of canine conformation, K-9 Structure and Terminology provides aâŚcomprehensive description of the detailsâŚof canine variation. And it does so with a clear focus on the importance of establishing a common terminology that can be understood and applied." James W. Edwards, Ph.D., Professor of Biology, Emeritus, Salem College; AKC, Director, Judging Research and Development "All of us in the dog world should strive for perfectionâŚWe need to train our eyes and our hands to recognize the strengths in a dogâs structure and movement. This book is an excellent guide in our unending quest of applicable knowledge." Pat Hastings, author of Tricks of the Trade. From Best Intentions to Best in Show, AKC Judge and noted lecturer Edward M. Gilbert is a multiple breed and group AKC judge, lecturer, and writer. His engineering and technical writing background makes him especially well-suited to the task of explaining canine structure and terminology. He lives in California with his wife Pat and their retired Champion Afghans and Salukis. Thelma Brown, AKC Emeritus judge, worked side by side with her husband Curtis Brown breeding and showing dogs beginning in 1937. She is retired and living in California.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn to communicate with your dogâusing their language âGood reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.ââThe Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty yearsâ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogsâsharing insights on how âmanâs best friendâ might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: ⢠How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog ⢠Why the advice to âget dominanceâ over your dog can cause problems ⢠Why ârough and tumble primate playâ can lead to troubleâand how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief ⢠How dogs and humans share personality typesâand why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than âalpha wanna-bes!â Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new wayâso as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.
