The handle has an elongated body whose leading end section is attached to the rear of the brush at an angle thereto. The leading end section of the handle has an upper surface defining a center thumb rest and concave depression on either side defining left and right side thumb rests. The groomer who grips the body of the handle with his fingers may then press his thumb on the center thumb rest to carry out one mode of brushing activity, or press his thumb into one of the side thumb rests to carry out other modes of brushing activity.
