This is an excellent book! January 10, 2002

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It is a must for both professional groomers and for poodle owners who want to groom their pet themselves. There is a wealth of information here which is essential for the proper care of poodles. The selection and care of equipment is expertly detailed and explained. Instructions and illustrations abound not only for clipping, but also the proper care of the eyes, ears and nails is given, in addition to the extensive sections on clipping and caring for both pet clips as well as show coats. I would like to thank the authors for sharing their decades of experience and presenting it in such a well-organized and easy-to-understand manner. Thank you!

Profusely laden with photographs and illustrations, this book is a must have for the serious poodle ethusiast. The reader is taken step by step from the basics of trimming techniques on to the most complicated show trims. It is an excellent reference and "hands on" book. Additionally, suppliers are listed for all the necessary tools and supplies. While it won't replace an actual 3-dimensional grooming seminar, it is a most excellent 2-dimensional tutorial.
Thank you Shirlee Kalstone October 21, 2001

I planned to take my poodle to a groomer, but a breeder friend talked me into trying it myself with Kalstone's book in hand. We had wonderful results! ...this reference will save you money, and the agony of bad poodle cuts! Plus, I didn't realize how fun poodle grooming can be. It was a real bonding experience between me and my dog.
Great for people owned by poodles! January 19, 2001

I got the 2001 edition for Christmas, as I wanted to learn to groom my own standard poodle. We have survived two clips together since then, and I feel much more confident. This book helped me get the courage to tackle my own grooming and taught me TONS about clippers, blades, scissors, combs, brushes, techniques, etc. It is clear, concise, no-nonsense and pretty idiot proof based on the fact that I can still take my dog in public and she still looks like a poodle! This author was recommended to me by five poodle groomers and it is pretty clear to me that they knew this was pick of the litter.
