So I want to become a groomer..?

[Dante B]

Hi,

So I've been applying for entry level positions and have been researching/learning about the different breeds of dogs, care, grooming info, etc. But I keep having trouble finding anything on people's -experiences- as a groomer and highly recommended readings from those in the field.

So I'm wondering where I can hear/read first hand experiences from professional groomers in the industry (so I can know what to expect) as well as any recommended websites/readings on tools, care, cuts for types of dog breeds, etc. Since I'll be working with live animals I really want to indulge in my curiosity so I can minimize any bad mistakes. Recommended forums, groups, etc that I can join are welcome too!
