I literally laughed out loud when she said “and Ava hasn’t been groomed in a very long time because groomers don’t groom their own dogs like they should.”
Haha it is so true!!! Glad to hear it gave you a laugh :)
So nobody grooms their own dogs then.... Including groomers 😂
‘Groomers don’t groom their own dog ‘ I get it … classic !! Very Informative video. You’re doggie Ava is only amazing !! Beautiful. Thankyou
Lol
I laughed, too.
I used to groom dogs, and yes, when it came down to my own, I was always putting it off. But, I always had dogs that never needed a lot of brushing and a quick bath, and towel dry did the trick. No scissors, clippers, or fancy cuts. Lol
Thanks. You told exactly what tools were needed and how to use them.
Hi there thanks so much for watching and your positive feedback. We are happy we could help!❤️🐶❤️
I use the exact same tools! I just use them differently. I work in sections but I use my comb first. I use the comb to separate the fur to find matts as well. When I find one I use the slicker brush to remove any loose fur. Then I use the matting tool to break up the matt. Then I comb to make sure it's all out. My dog also has some sections that are furrier than others. I do like to keep my dogs fur long but also it gets too thick at times in those areas. So I will use the matting comb to thin out those areas a little bit. I'm sure there's a better tool for this but in the moment the matting tool works perfect. I do not groom my dog often enough, shame on me, so sometimes the matting gets out of control. So far in the 3 years I've had him I have not waited so long as to make my dog uncomfortable but recently the matting was really bad. I literally spent 2 hours last night just on his belly and head. Tonight we start the legs and paws.
Wow it sounds like you have everything completely under control and have a great routine going. That’s amazing!!❤️🐶❤️
Watching my cat play with the toys from the Happy Furr Combo brings me so much joy. It's clear they're made with love and care.
could you make a video about the different brushes and what type of coat and dog they are good for? i heard that the furminator is bad, but some people love them and its a world of brushes and no idea what brush does what.
Thank you for your comment!! Yes we can definitely do a video on brushes, thanks for the idea! What breed of dog do you have? That will help me to determine if the furminator will work for your dog or not, as they are really only effective on certain double coated dogs.
@@FurryFriendsZone i myself have a chinse crested powder puff - i do not use the furminator on my dogs :) but im training to be a groomer, but i have trouble finding info on the different brushes and what they are good for. like the slicker, the rake, and so on :)
@@stineolsen5076 That is very exciting you are training to become a groomer! We will be making the brush video shortly so stayed tuned for that! If you ever have any other grooming questions please let us know :)
@@FurryFriendsZone Thank you for your informative video about brushing dogs.
I have an English Setter, what kind of brushes do I need to get in order to properly brush him?
Thank you so very much in advance! :)
Thank you! I have had 2 fabulous wheatens and so wish I learned how to bathe and brush at home.
It tool them to prof. Groomer every 6 wee

Hi thanks for watching. Yes I have had many wheaten and if they aren’t kept short they need a lot of home grooming. Yes grooming at a salon can get pricey but the more work you do at home the less expensive the groom is. A clean dog is a lot easier to brush as well.❤️🐶❤️
Your educational grooming technique videos are very helpful. Thank you 👍🇺🇸...
Hi there thanks so much for watching. We appreciate your positive feedback much appreciated!😊🐶
Hey Furry Friends Zone - thank you so much for producing this excellent, easy to understand and follow, video tutorial on how to properly brush your dog for grooming - I've been doing it wrong (like the kids' description of brushing in the video).
Hi there thanks so much for watching and commenting. We really appreciate your positive feedback and happy it helped. You made me laugh with the “like the kids” reference. Many people make the same mistake. 😊
Thank you I appreciate it you making this educational video. I didn’t know how to use the dematting tool
Hi thanks for watching I’m happy we could help. ❤️🐶❤️
Great job. I never thought about it until now. I have a mini Australian shepherd and shih Tzu mix. A lot of hair so I figured I should really try to do it correctly. So thanks for the Short but great lesson
Muchas gracias por el video. corto y conciso. Yo peinaba al perro como en el ejemplo....como los niños lo hacen ajajajajaaj voy a tratar de mejorar. Gracias!!
Haha thanks for watching. You aren’t alone most people do that. I know its hard most dogs don’t stay still either. Good luck ❤️🐶❤️
thank you very much im just about to start a dog grooming job at 15 and i would just like to know what I'm talking about
Hi there thanks for watching I’m happy we could help! Good luck!!❤️🐶❤️
Excellent - thanks!!!
Barbara Warden thank you for watching and commenting!
I love how you explained the brushing so well. I am learning to groom dogs. What equipment would you use on an English Springer Spaniel please? Slicker brush, Dematting tool, and wide-tooth comb. Any other items I would require?
Hi there thanks for watching. Basically that is all you need unless you are wanting to clean the pads of the feet…. You will have to invest in a clipper. Also consider buying a pair of thinning shears and shears to tidy the feathering.
love this advice, thank you
Hi Amy! Thanks so much for commenting and watching! We are so glad to hear it was helpful:) If you every have any grooming questions please let us know!
You cannot let a Wheaten get matted. They don’t tolerate it. I bathe , dry and brush my Afghan hound every week. Yes. Every week. Not every month. Not every 6-8 weeks. If you want a long pretty coat you gotta do that yourself. You need a grooming table, a grooming loop, a slicker and a pin brush , a dog dryer, good shampoo and conditioner and a whole heck ton of patience and about 1-2 hours a week depending on the breed of dog. I’ve been a groomer for 23 years. Every week guys.
Great video - easy to follow and so helpful
Thanks so much for commenting and watching Maria :)!!
Love it . From Texas
Hi there thanks for watching and your positive feedback!🥰🐶
Hello. Good finding your stuff here. I have a Havanese. I just gave up and cut her hair over her body from the neck down. I have held off on the rest due to wanting for a decent pair of scissors that don't cost hundreds of dollars. Do you have any suggestions on this?
Ditto Barbara's comment! Huge thanks!
Debra Davies glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching :)
Thaks for making it short and simple ! Very useful vidéo
Thank you so much for your comment!! We are very glad to hear it was helpful. If you have any other questions or video suggestions please let
us know :)
🤯 why has this NEVER been explained to me before?? Not by groomers, not by vets.
I agree with you here. I tried this on a pomski, I love him, but man that dog has fur! This made it easier and to my delight, faster. Who knew...
Thank you for your comment! We are so happy to hear it has helped you
:)
@@1thcorg That is awesome we are so glad to hear this video has made brushing your dog easier and faster!
Thank you for the video! What would you recommend for a Havanese? I try my best to brush him but he always has to get shaved down :( he has very silky skin it’s beautiful
Thanks for watching and for your question! Yes a havanese can have the soft silky coat that tends to get matted and it can happen quickly. I suggest you keep on brushing like you are but if you are finding it hard to keep up I would probably keep his coat a little shorter so it’s manageable for you. That way if you get him groomed every 8 weeks the groomer can do the same or then every time he won’t have to be shaved right down. Grooming can get expensive and when they have to get shaved down owners tend to not brush for a number of weeks because there is no hair to brush. The key is finding a length you are happy with that you can manage. I hope this helps and let me know if you have any further questions:)
Thanks so much really helpfull for my dog!
You are very welcome! We are so glad to hear it was helpful. If you have any future questions please let us know.
Excellent video..ty !
Thanks for your positive feedback!❤️🐶❤️
That was very helpful. Thanks!
Hi there thanks so much for watching and commenting. I’m happy to hear we helped!😊
My poodle bites and is aggressive to me and the brush while I try to brush her. Do you have any advice? She also tries to sit down when I'm brushing her back legs and bites really hard when I try to brush her front legs and head. She had spilled blood while brushing.
Hi thanks for watching. I would definitely try getting a muzzle and see if that helps. Sometimes muzzles also calm dogs but they can also go the other way. Try it and see how it goes. I’m sure it can be returned if it’s not a success. Also try sitting the dog up on something and not do it on the floor or sofa where the dog feels too comfortable
Hope these help!🥰
So useful thanks 🙏🏻🤟🏻🤩

Nice thank you so much
Thanks for watching I hope it helped!❤️🐶❤️
Awesome video great tutorial. Thank you
Thanks so much for your positive feedback!🥰
@@FurryFriendsZone you’re very welcome 😊
My dog when stay still when I try to brush her and she keeps moving around and I don't know what to do
Thanks so much for commenting! Here are a couple suggestions that may help. 1- You can try having someone assist you when you are brushing and have the other person give your dog treats to distract the dog and praise them for being good. 2- Try putting your dog higher up like on your counter or even on top of your washer/dryer and you can buy a suction noose that can go on your wall that you could attached the dog to which will help to ensure they are secure. 3- Try brushing your dog when they are more calm and tired (usually at night). You may have to split it up over a number of days by doing a little bit at a time. Giving treats after the brushing also will help as your dog will learn that they get a reward after being brushed if they are good. Hope these suggestions helped! If you have any other questions just let us know :)
Amazing! Loved the video!! Can i use the slicker brush on my german spitz? What type of slicker brush would be best for him? Soft medium of hard? Thank a lot for the video!
*or
Hi Christina thanks so much for watching and your comment and apologies on the delayed reply!
Absolutely you can use a slicker if he is not matted I would probably start with a soft slicker but in the rear area the coat always seems to be more course and may need a medium. Just be careful not to be too aggressive with the brushing to irritate the skin. In the rear area I usually put my hand under the brush so I’m not rubbing on the skin if there are mats. If you have any further questions please ask we are here to help!😊
Thanks girl... any tips for my American Akita to get her double coat out ?
Hey there! I would recommend to try using a furminator as it is a great option for double coated dogs or you can also try a rack brush as the furminators can be a bit more expensive. In addition to that taking your dog to the groomer twice a year (or more if needed) for a blow out will really help to take out a lot of the undercoat and make less work for you! If you have any additional questions please feel free to send them to use and we are happy to help!
@@FurryFriendsZone thanks for the great tips fur friend !🥰
me watching this with 3838392020028337 exams due tomorrow (i don't have a dog)
help in getting mats out? my shih tzu has a few areas matting in their leg, and I'm trying to pinch the matt to grab it and brush but apparently its still hurting my dog. his back and arms/armpits dont have any, so my only problem is his legs, tail and belly
Hello! Thanks for watching and commenting. You can try and split the hair with a matt splitter but if the matts are too close to the skin then you will not be able to use that and would have to shave the matts out. It will also hurt your dogs skin more if they are close tot he skin and you try brushing them out so sometimes it is easier to just shave and start over and then keep up with the brushing moving forward. Hope that helps! If you have any other questions please let me know!
look, its the kind lady next door
😃💕
Thank you so much but my Maltipoo is so very upset when I brush him. 🥲 He’s 5 month old and I don’t want the groomer to shave all his hair off. ☹️
Any recommendation for his breed?
Hi there thanks for watching. Make sure you have him on a consistent brushing routine and get him groomed every 6-8 weeks and you should be fine. ❤️🐶❤️
What type of brush and comb do you use in the video
Hi Heather! Unfortunately I haven't been able to find this specific slicker brush anymore. They are quite inexpensive but slicker brushes are all very similar if you are using the same hardness of the bristles. They come in soft, medium and hard bristles. The one I was using in the video was between medium/hard. If you have any other questions please let us know!
Our dog growls at me when i try to do this 😓
Hi There! Thanks for commenting. This can be a common issue when owners try to brush their dog at home. When brushing correctly it shouldn't hurt them so shouldn't be why they are growling. I would recommend using lots of treats and praising your dog as you try brushing. You may also want to break up the brushing over a few days and make it a positive experience. Also I would start with brushing an area that wouldn't bother your dog as much like their body instead of their head or feet as those are more sensitive areas. I hope those tips help! If you have any questions please let us know :)
👏👏👏👏👌

Sheepdoodle brushing
Well I think that it's not the best way, it has to be painful for the dog
How about some coconut oil or any oil then brush or comb or pull out with fingers. Much better for the dog. I would never just brush them out. 😢
