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.

Often it’s an in-depth knowledge of the anatomy of the dog and a solid understanding of terminology used in the world of 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 a…comprehensive description of the details…of 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 perfection…We need to train our eyes and our hands to recognize the strengths in a dog’s 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can often tell how healthy a dog is by the appearance of its coat.

An awarded colorist, he has performed many celebrity makeovers. Behind the camera, Tony has a keen eye for composition, color and presentation. His skills as a fine art painter give him an edge in creating dramatic graphic images. Mavi Vaselli Martine from Rome, Italy has been a grooming designer for nearly two decades. Her heightened imagination and talents stem from her background in painting, sculpture, design, as well as training horses and being part of the Olympic Dressage team. Sharing a passion for dogs, art, and beauty, they joined creative forces to form Divine Diva Studio where their mission was to bring out the diva in these divine canines. Divine Diva Studio conceptualizes truly unique designs for their "living art" models, executes them through their non-toxic coloring technique, and portrays them with enchanting images to be cherished for a lifetime.

Many of these dogs have a genuine story behind them. Not only are most of them rescues, they more often liberate the lives they enter having a profound healing impact.

Once the concept is set, Mavi executes the design through an all natural non-toxic color treatment and scissoring technique for the dogs. Tony sets the stage and lighting, producing the perfect zen ambiance for the photograph. Together they work as a team immortalizing the divas into impressive images.

Their "living art" will bring you joy, releasing your inner child. This book is dedicated to the Divine Diva within us all waiting to be "unleashed "
