This has to be one of the best grooming videos for a shih tzu. My pup has a full coat too so I am always looking for extra tips. My only question is regarding the comment that a full coat shih tzu needs a full grooming every five days. I groom my pup for 10-15 minutes every day. I do not think he would last five days without serious knots and tangles.
I have Shih Tzu too. I think that comment meant a full groom, bath every 5 days…as for combing and brushing yes that should be done every day with a full coat.
@@sarahscott2496 Hmnn. Our breeder said that bathing too often makes their skin too dry. She bathed them less than that and so I went with her advice and it works fine for us. I think the key is the daily brush out, I can tell when a bath is needed as the coat changes its texture and becomes heavier and sticky. Perhaps it depends on the type of coat a shih tzu has. My pup Acorn has a silky coat that really flows nicely, but some have different coats I notice.
@@annabowness-park3604 it’s true they all have different types of coat for sure, my two are very different from one another. As for drying their skin out from bathing, I used to believe that also, but apparently that’s essentially a myth that will forever be perpetuated lol I am in many grooming groups and a long haired Shih Tzu group where there is a great wealth of experience and knowledge and it is often discussed. Quality products being used properly is what matters, not the frequency. Just as an example, during the coat change Shih Tzu go through where they mat no matter what…lol one woman with many years experience with long hair Shih Tzu recommends bathing every 3 days while brushing every day, to prevent the mats until it is over, which is several months I believe…
@@sarahscott2496 Thanks Sarah. Interesting perspective. If you have any grooming groups that are online, I would love to know about them as I am always looking to learn. Currently I brush him every day - no exceptions and he very rarely gets matts - just little knots which I take out gently. I have gotten better over time. Our daily brush outs are a bonding time and he enjoys it as much as I do. I don't feel confident enough to trim him so he goes to a professional groomer every six weeks or so, and she has only a found a matt a couple of times that I missed when it was a small knot. I am definitely improving at brushing him out. I love the way this groomer says she only uses a pin brush and not a slicker brush - same as me. T
Ecco come deve essere toelettato lo Shih Tzu per rendergli completa giustizia e perché conservi intatta tutta la sua maestosa bellezza. Colori, comprese tutte le sfumature, del mantello di questo Shih Tzu sono identici al mio Léon, Shih Tzu di 7 anni 1/2😍😍😍❤ Una raccomandazione: rivolgersi sempre a chi ha maturato una profonda conoscenza del come trattare questa razza assolutamente unica nel suo genere.

Thank you How much do you charge to groom a dog? I have a female Shih Tzu. Grooming Safer you are worth the trip keep up the wonderful work have a bless weekend 🙏🏾Today is Friday April 28, 2023 at 4:50pm
Thank you for suggesting a bath/ groom session every five days. I had no idea why after a month and weekly brushing mats were still popping up until we increased shampoos
I have a full coat Shih Tzu too and this is the best video on grooming a full coat I've seen. Love it! I watch it a lot. I wish I could get my Sally Mae's coat to look like Chica's. It's just beautiful. Sally's just never comes out flowy and shiny or straight, it always looks wavy when dry and has yet to grow to the floor. She's 2 1/2 years old. I use IGroom products, brush her every day or two, and bath every 7-10 days. Any advice is appreciated!
Each dog has their own coat, Chica is unusually silky. Those that you see in the show ring are flat ironed. No need to do that at home. It’s only for show day.
Your work is amazing and you’re so gentle with your dogs. I wish you were in the LA area. I have a 6 month old yorkie and I wanna keep her in a long coat. She has a silky hair texture, what is a good brush for tangles?
So nice to see a full coated Shih tzu being groomed to perfection, I breed and show shih tzu and recently got an import female with the biggest coat I’ve ever seen on my breed so I bought a supajet stand dryer but by the time I’ve finished 1 side the other side kind of dries with all the coat stuck and it feels funny, any idea what I could do to prevent this from happening I really don’t want to go back to using my hug velocity dryer? Fantastic job I wish I could trust a groomer in the UK with my show dogs 😬
Don’t try to dry the area that you are working on, circle that dog 3 times while brushing. The first time to lightly brush, the second time going deeper into the coat. The 3 rd time to finish. I hope that makes sense.
@@grandestyledoggrooming it absolutely does make sense yes I thought I’d give that a go when I seen you drying Chika, I was so close to getting the sherbano dryer too now I kinda wish I had 🙄 definitely going to try this idea next time I bath her though thanks so much for your help 😘
How do we keep our dogs still while grooming? My dog cannot stay for a single sec. And does it look nice if I keep my shih tzu's coat long but just groom the head?
Training. I groom live daily and constantly give training techniques that work for me. As you can see in this video it looks pretty trimming just the head, but yesterday I trimmed a Lhasa Apso live that doesn’t look good that way. It really is dependent on the individual dog.
Very cool! This is basically what I plan to do with my shih tzus. At least for awhile. Did i miss a part of the video though? I thought I heard you say she gets shaved under the nose but I didn't see you do that? Thanks! Jessie
Chica looks absolutely gorgeous. I use a rectangle pin brush, do you think the oval one is better and can you say which shampoo and conditioner you used for her and is she spayed, as I think this has changed my girls' coat?
The shape of the pin brush is not important. I like the Artero pin brush. I us Petsilk Rainforest products . Chica is spayed as well, she just has a very silky coat.
@@grandestyledoggrooming I've never heard of these products. So the shampoo and conditioner for bathing? I use the IGroom magic mist when drying her. Is that the wrong product for drying?
If you have any show shih tzu clients PLEASE PLEASE can you do a video on how you would typically groom their coat? I struggle with the legs because you have to layer it 🙄
@@grandestyledoggrooming unfortunately I don’t see any shih tzu video on there, the only thing she has is a short video explaining that she has a course available and of corse that would be in American wouldn’t it 🙄 Thank you though maybe I can keep an eye out for any future videos she does 🤷♀️
My mixed pup has. this long hair too .I have to brush every other day. I didn't know I could bathe her that often..Right now she keeps getting urine all over her legs.
Do you alter the shaping around the face, beard, etc when you have an all black shih tzu? I worry that my 7month old black shih tzu puppy won't have any contouring help from coat color changes. So far, she only gets a bath and "sani trim" .... I keep putting off taking more off ....
Wow . I don't blow dry my shiz tuz , I only have a prong brush, and no tear puppy shampoo, I let her air dry and then brush . And she's done. And has no tangles. 😊
@@grandestyledoggrooming do all shih tzu's hair grow long to??? Like the ones in dog shows. When does a shih tzu lose its baby coat? Mine is 6 months now !😳😲😂
Does it look good if my shihtzu has a poodle feet cut with that long and the body hair follows the end of the foot cut bcs my shihtzu's feet is always messy and also I love putting shoes on my dog, do u think it looks good?
I love how gentle and professional you are with her! ❤️
Best groomer I've seen .. I got full coat an every body I see cutting the coat ugh... thank u 💓 for this trim cutting video

I thinned the hair on my Shihtzus legs . The idea worked. I got her dryed faster and she looks great! How often should I do that?

I said that she never gets shaved on the bridge of the nose or around the eyes 🙂
@@grandestyledoggrooming ok 😅 Sorry I misunderstood. Thank you so much for taking your time to clarify. I appreciate it very much. 🙏❤
What conditioner spray do you recommend? Your tips on the brushes was very helpful.
My favorite is Igroom Magic Mist.
You should be a hairdresser too. Amazing ❤️
