Thank you for your excellent video series. I especially like the fact that you do not fast forward the video speed! I have had several dog companions but I recently adopted my first Australian Shepherd, he has a very long coat.
how do you teach an Aussie to hup up on the grooming table? I have an insecure rescue who was previously not well treated and she's fearful of trying things. But I'm not physically able to pick her up and need someone to lift her for me. If I could get her to hup up on her own, we'd be in good shape!
I do it with treats. I wait till a dog is little older and before dinner each day, I work with the table. I start with just getting the dog comfortable putting their feet on the table then go from there. Within a week, they should be jumping on the table. Make sure the surface under the table is not slick.
Absolutely agree! I use the SAME slicker but use my fingers for skin traction so it's not painful pulling on the dermis. I only brush 2-3 inches at a time & since my own nail are long, I can separate the fur from skin in parts. He almost falls asleep cause it feels so good. This dog's clearly in pain but tolerating it cause it's got a sweet temperament. Don't care about 25 yrs grooming. Had Samoyed before Aussie's & still didn't need to take such long hardship strokes!
The action looks worse then it is. I am not touching the dog's skin. Also, this is not a normal slicker brush you would get from a pet store. It flexes.

Omg- I just got an Aussie pup, and named her…. 🥁 🥁 HEIDI! God bless.
Thanks for your tutorials. We're new to showing aussies and you've saved me a lot of time and money.
You are very welcome! We hope to have some handling ones in the next few weeks.
Is the Aussie in the video trying to shake your hand? Whenever my Aussie get excited she love to shake hands.
Do you have website for tools?
Most can be found on Amazon

Que lindo todo cariñoso
With the ears, I wasn't touching the skin. If I was, I wouldn't have used a slicker brush. This was not causing the dog harm.
such a sweet aussie My service dog Yerich is an aussie :) hes a ham
Did you see Roxy Star Show Australian Shepherd basic grooming RUclips
whem you say coated dogs that that include dogs like Jindos that have shorter coats but still have undercoats
Ya, right. You had me until you used those scissors to get the fuzzball out. My dog would freak and end up losing an eyeball 👁!!!
Your being too rough when your using the slicker brush. Your supposed to be gentle when brushing behind the ears.
