The Grooming Manual – Volume 1 by Simply The Best is the essential foundation for anyone who wants to become a competent and knowledgeable groomer. This first volume, dedicated to applied theory , addresses all the fundamental concepts every professional should know before performing any grooming technique.

What's in Volume 1 – Applied Theory

The Grooming Manual – Volume 1 offers a complete overview of dog anatomy, hair types, essential tools and correct methods of use.
Among the topics covered:
