<h4 style="text-align: left;color: red">User Ratings and Reviews</h4>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">1 Star</strong>  <em> Totally Disappointed</em><br />
                        I bought this DVD hoping that it would help me groom my bichon at home.  I had my doubts about it when I took it out of the box and saw the cheap graphics on the DVD cover.  It starts off showing how to bathe a dog for which they use an Australian Shepherd &#8211; they could have at least used one of the dogs featured in the rest of the video.  This segment seems to last forever with its terrible, repetitive music and narrator who seems extremely bored as he describes the various scents available in shampoos.  The narrator is hard to understand and is almost drowned out by the bad music.  The DVD continues on to drying, clipping, ear cleaning, and nail clipping.  They show the groomers using various brands of clippers but don&#8217;t really tell you what blade or comb size they are using.  The groomer uses scissors on the face and paws of the bichon, but they don&#8217;t tell you the size and type of scissors.  Also, it would have been helpful if they would have demonstrated grooming each particular breed from start to finish.  Instead, they jump between the poodle, maltese, shih tzu, havanese, bichon, and cocker spaniel in each segment and identify only a few of the breeds they are working on.  A little more detail from the narrator during the clipping would have been nice too.  This DVD is basically just watching someone groom a dog while listening to annoying music with a few comments from a narrator and some written instructions (some with typos) flashing on the screen.  Needless to say, I am continuing my search for another, hopefully more informative DVD. </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">1 Star</strong>  <em> Returned it, but never got a refund.</em><br />
                        This DVD provided hardly any information at all beyond just watching the groomers.  These groomers (or a voice-over) should have been explaining WHAT they were doing in detail.  There was no indication of which blade they were using on the various dogs and the reason for that choice; we didn&#8217;t get to SEE a detachable blade being changed out or the pros and cons of detachable vs. fixed blades; there was no discussion of the difference among the various brands of clippers available on the market; no discussion of attachment combs or why they used scissors at times rather than clippers, etc., etc., etc.</p>
<p>Finally, I thought the groomers were a little too rough with the dogs, and the tables and environment a little shoddy (and let&#8217;s not forget that large scab on the one groomer&#8217;s arm that we kept seeing over and over), and I never saw one of them disinfecting their tools before working on a dog.  PLUS, the &#8220;brand new&#8221; DVD came with fingerprints on the play side and hung up during play in one section.  All in all, a VERY unsatisfactory experience.</p>
<p>Because the DVD was defective, I asked them to send me a return label, but they did not.  They said I would get a full refund, but after I returned the DVD, to this day (4 months later), they have not refunded my money.  My emails since then have gone unanswered.</p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">1 Star</strong>  <em> Waste of time and money</em><br />
                        I buy a fair amount of items on Amazon. This is the first time I have bothered to review an item. This DVD in my opinion is not worth the money or time I invested in it. The quality is very poor. Sometimes out of focus and shaky. The narrator sounds like he is bored and he doesn&#8217;t even say that much. Apparently you are supposed to learn by watching without much instruction. There was annoying music playing over and over and sometimes made it hard to hear the narrator. Another thing&#8230;if you&#8217;re going to show a closeup repeatedly of a groomer&#8217;s arm how about putting some makeup on the big scab she has. Not everyone cares to see that sort of thing. Probably what bothered me most was they showed you what to do if you cut a dog&#8217;s quick while trimming their nails &#8211; I got the distinct impression the groomer cut the quick on purpose for this scene. </p>

<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">2 Stars</strong>  <em> Not very informative</em><br />
                        I bought this video because I have two Malti-Poo&#8217;s. Sadly, there is more music than explanations of the procedures. About the only segment that was worth anything, and that wasn&#8217;t worth the price of this, was the section on scissoring. The spelling was awful as well. Waste of money. </p>

                          This 55 minute DVD is a continuation an elaboration of the lessons in the video Effective Pet Massage for Dogs, Volume I.<br />
This video was created as advanced training for people to learn to PetMassage their pet dogs at home. This lesson is for you, the caregiver, whose dog may be showing signs of physical discomfort, advancing hip problems, the effects of poor circulation, or who is just having a rough time coping with senior citizen issues. PetMassage is an excellent vehicle for you to help your dog reestablish balance naturally, from within his/her body. Old dogs, young dogs, competition dogs, healthy active dogs, dogs with chronic diseases, dogs that have just been injured and/or a recovering from surgery can benefit from a good PetMassage.<br />
These lessons, based on the fundamental skill set developed in the Effective Pet Massage for Dogs DVD, focus on some advanced PetMassage techniques that can be used to help the geriatric dog and dogs with tight muscle and fascia restricting movement in their spines. There is special attention offered for dogs with congenital and traumatic hip issues, and techniques for enhancing your dogs ability to breathe.<br />
Learn to PetMassage your dog to enhance flexibility, increase body awareness, increase muscle tone, and enhance his/her overall quality of life. PetMassageTM even helps with behavioral training. Your instructors in the DVD are Jonathan Rudinger, the human, Peter, the wheaten terrier, Oreo, the Shih Tzu, Gracie, the golden retriever, and Xander, the German shepherd. They will demonstrate how to use the techniques of compression, friction, exploration of movement, healing touch and more.<br />
Complete these lessons and you will have more skills to help your dog whatever his age, physical or emotional condition. Thank you for allowing me to share this marvelous set of skills with you. I know both you and your dog will appreciate what you learn here.Jonathan Rudinger, author </p>

<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">1 Star</strong>  <em> Waste of time and money</em><br />
                        I buy a fair amount of items on Amazon. This is the first time I have bothered to review an item. This DVD in my opinion is not worth the money or time I invested in it. The quality is very poor. Sometimes out of focus and shaky. The narrator sounds like he is bored and he doesn&#8217;t even say that much. Apparently you are supposed to learn by watching without much instruction. There was annoying music playing over and over and sometimes made it hard to hear the narrator. Another thing&#8230;if you&#8217;re going to show a closeup repeatedly of a groomer&#8217;s arm how about putting some makeup on the big scab she has. Not everyone cares to see that sort of thing. Probably what bothered me most was they showed you what to do if you cut a dog&#8217;s quick while trimming their nails &#8211; I got the distinct impression the groomer cut the quick on purpose for this scene. </p>

                          The Control Ease Training Harness stops your dog from pulling and helps in the overall training of your pet. Recommended by professionals, the patented design allows for both lateral and rear control.<br />
Guiding by the chest slows a dog when he pulls forward and redirects his attention. Steering with the back induces the natural opposition reflex enticing a dog to walk ahead.<br />
Once a dog is able to go for a walk without pulling, the Control Ease Training Harness can be used as a standard walking harness.</p>
<p>Sizing &#8211; X-Small: Miniature Dachshund, Yorkshire Terrier, Pomeranian, Chihuahua  Small: Jack Russell, Lhasa Apso, Pug, Shih Tzu, Miniature Schnauzer  Medium: Beagle, Collie, Springer Spaniel, Cocker Spaniel, Poodle  Large: Akita, Boxer, Dalmatian, German Shepherd, Retrievers </p>
