Dog Grooming: Long Coats: For Pet Owners

By Puppy Care Education

This book is an introduction for new owners who are learning to care for a long coated dog's coat.
A beautiful dog in full coat, or a well trimmed dog with long ears and feathering, looks wonderful. Keeping your dog's longer coat looking great is much easier if you use the right grooming tools, and the grooming order and techniques used by professionals. This book is based on many years of practical experience in successfully teaching students to groom their own dogs.
This is a fully illustrated dog e-book published by Puppy Care Education.
