Do you consider your dog a family member? Chances are you said yes before you finished reading the sentence. You’re in good company. Most pet owners consider their dogs as important as other family members or even a child. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, every day some 48 million households in the United States wake up to the loving licks of humankind’s oldest and dearest friend. Dogs have served people as protectors, workers, friends, and partners throughout thousands of years. And yet the role of the dog is changing. A few hundred years ago, not many people would be reading a book about grooming their dogs. Back then, dogs for the most part were outdoor animals that were kept in a doghouse or kennel and treated perhaps a little better than a tool or at best a type of livestock. With the exception of the pampered lap dogs and the few working dogs that shared the master’s home, most dogs had a pretty tough life, usually hanging out in the backyard (if there was one) or running around on the farm. How times have changed! Dogs have moved from outside to inside and wiggled their way into the hearts (and even onto the couches and beds) of their owners. But now that they’ve arrived — so to speak — pet owners want their dogs to be presentable. A dirty dog is no joy; a clean dog is pure happiness. And that’s what this book is all about. You’re no dummy for wanting a clean and presentable dog. A well-groomed dog usually is one that goes places and is better socialized than one who isn’t. You don’t mind having a well-groomed dog around, and you’re friends and neighbors are likely to think how wonderful your dog is because your dog is well-groomed.
