Angela, Being a dog guide user and a rehab teacher, this is something I deal with on a daily basis. Teaching grooming is very easy however the one thing I would guard against someone with a visual impairment doing is trimming nails. This can be difficult since precautions have to be taken not to clip the quick in the nail which can cause much bleeding. If you want further or more detailed suggestions please feel free to email me. Stella Gibbs, VRT Metrolina Association for the Blind 304 Louise Ave. Charlotte, NC 28204 (704) 887-5112 sgibbs@xxxxxxxxx
