I am an Iraq and Afghanistan veteran. i was wounded in 07 and went to school for grooming in 09 it is super hard i have found to be a groomer because I am a man. I watch your videos every night. I'm getting into it again and starting to buy new tools. Thanks for the vids
@@ronportillo3851 keep your passion for grooming alive and GET SOME my dear friend. Learn everyday and never stop! You will be amazing - follow your passion. 💖💖💖
Well, I figured since you've saved me so much money making sure that I've been confident grooming my dog myself, I'd send at least something your way but you know how grateful I am
You have the best videos on dog grooming. I love your work and the fact that you want to genuinely share your knowledge and secrets with other people to better inform them with facts and skills. Truly appreciate you ❤
Just discovered your videos and really enjoy them. I've been grooming professionally since 2009, started out as a mobile groomer. Before that I was a Veterinary Technician for 12 years.I learned to groom by watching grooming videos by Jody Murphy, a master groomer who has won many show grooming awards. (I am a very visual person.) I've always loved animals, especially dogs, from a very early age. In 2011, I suddenly became a paraplegic overnight. Now I groom in my home and besides paying the bills it is also my therapy. If you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, tips and tricks. I try to learn something new every day and you are inspirational to watch. Wanted to share a tip I use. If you have a dog that seems to back way from you and sometimes their foot goes off the edge of the table, you can use a pool noodle as a protective edge guard. Just cut it to length, then slit it from one end to the other and push it onto your table edge. If your table is thick, like mine, you can use a large or jumbo pool noodle. I got mine on Amazon. Also can help to keep your shears from accidentally being knocked off the table! Thanks again for teaching us and helping us be the best groomers we can be.
Girl!! You are a Gem! I love your tip and I never thought something so simple could make such a difference on the grooming table but that sounds like an amazing tip! Thank you for sharing it with all of us and bless you heart for doing what you love and loving what you do❤️ P.S. I have a ton of Jodi Murphy's dvd's also and still watch them:) She has always been one of my hero's😍Hugs my friend!
So how did you learn about all the different costs and shavings, that’s crazy you taught yourself ! I was thinking of doing a course but it’s like 6/7k I can afford it but thinking Isit really worth it , the only thing I need to no more about is costs and which blades to use , everything else like nails and washing and drying is easy !
Just getting started as a dog groomer. Your videos are more helpful than my course! Thank you. It is really hard to get started in this profession and really know what you are doing.
OMG! Not only does Diesel look exactly like my Goldendoodle Nola, but her father, a silver poodle's, name is Diesel!!! This was the best, by far, the best grooming video I have ever watched. Most videos don't give their secrets away. Thank you so much for a great tutorial!
You are such a great groomer, you do a wonderful groom, no choppy lines, nice and finished work. Something to be very proud of, I am sure your clients appreciate your beautiful grooms.
In the beginning, you said "get your questions ready!" No need! You are so thorough and informative, not just about what you are presently doing, but explaining every facet of the task--the why's, how's, what if's, and so on's. 5 Stars!
I've watched a lot of tutorials, but none recently. You are my FAVORITE. Love your humor and you give so much wonderful information. I am a teacher, and I always planned to groom my poodle/maltese/bichon mixes myself. I do pretty well. NOW, I know I need some better clipper. I have a problem with one of my pups having tear stains... Maybe I'll find a solution with you. Thanks so much. You are great.
I want to do this professionally... so you are an absolute treasure. A REALLY MATTED COAT GROOMING VIDEO WOULD BE GREAT. Wow, you gave me an idea for a grooming product.
Thank you so much for this video. It is extremely helpful for doodle owners who want to keep their doodles comfortable and clean between professional appointments. Also save us from spending $200 every 6 weeks. ❤
You are amazing. I am learning so much from you. My poor pomeranian boy got rolled under a car after Christmas and he is matted from healing for a month + and he still is sore and don't want to take him to a groomer right now so I am going to do it and you are ana angel for teaching us dog mom's to groom our babies properly 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Finally found a video that really helped me with the precise knowledge that I was seeking. Thank you so much Ma'am!! I'm planning to trim my cat's coat at home because she is an aggressive cat. No stranger is allowed to touch her. She would have to be anaesthetized before trimming her hair. I'm her Mom, so am hoping she will cooperate with me.
YOU ARE A DOLL!!! Thank you SOOO VERY MUCH for your awesome videos! The depth of info you provide so openly has been an incredible help to me...and you deliver it all with your awesome, positive energy and BEAUTIFUL SMILE!
thank you SOOO much for this video. I started grooming my own dog when i had a schnauzer and didn't need these guards. When she passed and I ended up getting a couple of sheepadoodles, i upgraded my clippers and purchased these guards. When they had puppy coats, I had no issues. When their coats changed, I started getting really frustrated with my clippers not cutting. I even purchased additional blades thinking i needed a sharp blade. This totally revealed I wasn't preparing the coat. I'm excited to try this again but preparing the coat this time!
can you please provide a list of the tools we need as a beginner groomer. I would like to start grooming my two muitipoos. which clippers do you recommend?
@@GoGroomer Yes we can. I just ordered a grooming table from Wayfair. Should be getting it in a couple of days, next will be the grooming tools. I just can't wait. Costs $65 to groom my Joey.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!! Tomorrow, I am going to brush, bathe, brush, dry, brush, comb and clip my 6 month old goldendoodle pup! I'm gonna give her a full body clip, using a 1" guard on the Andis 2 speed clipper Amazon prime is delivering. I'm so excited!! I've never clipped a dog before, but I did pretty well the first time I trimmed my husband's hair, just based on angles and how I liked it, so I'm pretty sure this will come out beautiful!! I'm taking before/after pictures...just in case it is share-worthy!! =Terry
You have made me fall in love with grooming my fur baby and we are so in sync now, I don't even need to use the grooming harness. I am looking forward to learning all that I can and have joined. You saved us during Covid. I live in Melbourne Australia and we had hard lockdown restrictions, we were literally considered the jail state lol. Groomers were closed and I learnt by watching hours of your grooming videos. I have even had people ask where I take Mr Magoo for grooms.
Thank you for the post this morning re: wahl km10 availability on pet edge!! I just ordered it, the blades, clipper oil and cool plus cleaner. You have changed my life and Pepper's life!!
Wonderful presentation! I am simply trying to figure out how to groom my Giant Schnauzer. The trimmer thing tends to be overwhelming, combs vs blades, so confusing, but I learned tons from you! You show and explain things in such great detail. You build my confidence. You address every detail! OMG! Watching the video as I type...you answered my question....so the comb determines the length despite the blade! I kiss you! As far as future videos, just keep doing what you are doing. I do appreciate you addressing us amatuers that don't have professional equipment. Thank you so much!
AMEN this should be tiled how to take care of your dogs hear in Arkansas SOME PEOPLE aint gotta clue on how to love and take care of a big dog me and mom argue now about what dog food to buy
I just got a Wahl pro pet set of clippers. I have a 7 month old Shorkie. He’s been groomed professionally twice and I bathe, brush, scissor in between. Not easy with a squirmy baby but he’s not too bad. I used the #10 on his whole body including face and it’s not perfect, but he looks good and nobody will know. Lol. I had to use the scissors in some places including tidying up his face. Which he doesn’t like btw. Your videos have been very helpful. Thank you 😊.
Thank you for such an awesome and informative video. I learned more from you in this video than I did from my teacher at grooming school. I'll be saving and rewatching this several times over. 👏👏👏👏 Amazing video!!!! 😁❤️
Wow, I used (what I call) the matt comb to dematt my sheepaddodle Gracies ears just now and the results are amazing. Thankfully I got to see your tip before I grabbed the #10 blade and shaved her down. She has sheepdog hair, next up her half brother Kirby who has poodle hair. Thank you (both of them got cuts with scissors about a month ago. A set of combs coming soon and with your guidance I am figuring this out.
I love you ❤️ I just got a groomer clipper set and a set of combs to try to learn how to groom my Morkie🤷♀️ I will be watching you a lot for your help. Thank you for these gifts to us new ones.
Hi Amy Lee..... I have listed with interest to a few of you video clips & thanks aye! I giggled to myself when you were answering a question from someone in relation to clipping with & against the lie of the dogs coat..... :) I myself am a sheep shearer & while I was doing my dog grooming training a few years ago I actually found out quickly how much extra comes off by clipping in reverse! OMG I was shocked to be fair, as I got carried away while grooming a shitzu. Oh it was certainly a conversation which a few of us got may weeks of laughter from. Yet on the day at the salon I was mortified. The wee dog had tracks in the coat, it wasn't really bad but I knew I had slipped up. Going against the lie of the hair removed a little extra which was leaving the coat uneven. The dog was evened up before it's owner collected it yet I was certainly NOT going to forget that day! Yet we all had learned something different & it will always bring a big smile to my face! When shearing sheep I can go forward or backwards (easiest way to get the job done). Sheep wool grows out from the skin & makes for quicker & easier clipping sometimes. But aye hello from Ireland. 🥰😄🙃
Your videos have been so helpful. I started grooming my dog at home because i couldn't afford to take both my dogs to get groomed every 2 to 3 weeks. It can get pricey. Investing in some good clippers is pricey but worth it because it will save me more money long term. I have two maltipoo's and the only trouble i have is she won't let me use the clippers on her legs. Idk what to do or to comfort her more so she is willing to let me work. Any advice would help. I love yours videos, i learned so much. Thank you for teaching us, your viewers how to properly groom our furr babies. ❤
My Maltese is 1¼ years old. He's been groomed most of his life by a pro groomer since he was about 8 weeks old. I was never told he was a problem dog. During lockdown I couldn't get to his groomer. So after 8 weeks I decided to do it myself. I'd had a little training and experience so I thought I'd be able to learn to improve my skills with pro tools and video instrution. I bought everything, brushes, combs, scissor sets and an Andis Pulse adjustable, rechargeable clipper. So good so far. My equipment looked very professional. Rowdy was kept in a modified Asian Fusion style that his groomer kept looking great. I was giving him a thorough brushing 3 or 4 times weekly and bathing monthly to retain his appearance. During combing I found he was VERY UNHAPPY AND REFUSED TO BE QUIET when getting his feet, face and ears combed. He would throw an ABSOLUTE FIT when I tried to cut his nails. Its now 5 weeks later and I haven't yet cut his nails (using recommended clippers). Now I'm giving appropriately named 'Rowdy' a full groom every 3 weeks. It's becoming a real chore. He really doesn't like showering with me or blow drying. While putting him on my table he begins to tremble a little but he's generally good. The Andis clipper is smooth and quiet. Rowdy is calm and comfortable while I cut his back and tops of his legs. I use a #7f equivalent to keep his hair very short. During all of this Rowdy is very calm and lets me move move him wherever I want. He's a very good dog. THEN THE PROBLEMS BEGIN! When I'm scissoring on top of the tips of his tops he gets really excited (frightened?) and does his best to tear away. I really can't even get close to his feet with the scissors. He has a similar but less dramatic response wherever I get scissors anywhere near his face, especially eyes and muzzle. It's really amazing that I am able to get him looking very good to the uninformed but keeping ear and jaw trim lines smooth and symmetrical is impossible. Small steps show on his pantaloon legs and bottom flares, throat, around the eyes, etc. Everywhere I have to scissor has far less than the professional look I I want to achieve. It's like trying to groom a bucking bronco. Give it a try. I think you'll go insane before you finish. I've tried petting and holding him before and during during the grooming, especially petting and rubbing his paws, toes, and nails. But when I separate the toes he becomes very agitated and when the clipper gets close he panics and pulls away in a tear. Even showing Rowdy his nail clipper makes him start quivering and shaking. Well, this has been a VERY LONG message but I thought it'd be important that you knew the entire back story to fully understand how Rowdy got to be a VERY DIFFICULT DOG. Much of the grooming job goes pretty fast and smoothly. Initial comb out takes 30 minutes or less. Showering, blow drying, and final combing takes another 30 minutes. Clipping his back, tummy and sanitaries less feet requires only 45 minutes. A poorly done final scissoring may take 1½ hours! Nails never happen. How do I calm him down! He's a very lovable, friendly dog. Makes fast friends with anyone or almost any animal that doesn't try to attack him. I live in an Assisted Living Facility where everyone loves him. Staff will drop in just just to visit and hold him. He has no aggressive tendencies. He's a GREAT DOG although he does bark too much. His diet is is perfect and he's healthy and looks wonderful if you don't look too closely. We love each other with all of our hearts. Can you please help help me teach him to accept his grooming so that we can both feel much better? I'll appreciate you more than you'll ever know. It'd make my relationship with Rowdy just perfect. NOT BEING ABLE TO GROOM HIM LEAVES A HOLE IN MY HEART ❤!
A Doggie Hammock may help. Stay consistent, always talk calmly, and keep reassuring them that they're ok. If none of it is working for you. Taking him to the Vet to get his nails trimmed, may be your only option.
Love your videos! I’m learning soo much! Especially about why my previous grooming escapades with my thick coated cocker spaniel.poor thing😱 He’s had to endure sporting a half haircut more than once because my clippers wouldn’t go thru that hair and I gave up!🤦♀️ Thanks for the info on how to buy clippers🥳🎉🎊😘
I used to do human hair for a lifetime 🥹 and have groomed my dog with my oster and it is not quick and gets to warm so I just pushed buy now on a bravura pet clipper I have a Miniture schnauzer that is 28 lbs 🤔 she is adorable at any size anyhoo is this a good purchase product for her it’s only for her I am not planning on doing anyone else’s pet . Just my Fancy!!! Or before I get it and open it is there a better fit for me . Ps are my human hair shears good enough to use on pets I have a small fortune invested and do I need to purchase any perfect blade for the clipper the bravura 5in 1 adjustable cordless is supposed to be adaptable as well as come with other blades . Ty in advance for your expertise and your personality is adorable and contagious. I can feel your professional and passion for the industry thank you for your time .
Dang, I missed the live, but am watching the video now. I am going to set my phone so I don't miss the lives. I learn so much from you. I just love the Kenchii brush, even ordered another one. The dogs really seem to enjoy the brush too.
Gotta love you, just found your channel and as soon as I heard your name “Amy Leigh” I knew you were special. That’s my chiorkie’s name (Fat Amy Lee) 💕💕💕
My sister has a teacup yorkie. She likes him to have a teddy cut face but long body. He's due for another groom soon. I can see his coat is growing longer and filling in, after a "not great groom" (her words, not mine). How do I thin out his coat without it becoming patchy or affecting the length, please? Thinning scissors ✂️ downwards or the comb you demonstrated for ears above? Thanks in advance. Absolutely love your channel and advice ❤️ xxx
Hello Emily, from Sydney Australia, it is a pleasure to see your videos, look, I bought the KM10 wahl, I am cutting the hair of a very small toypoodle, before 5 minutes the blade was very hot, I sent a message to the company that sold it to me online, before 4 hours of having received the delivery, and I explained what happened, they replied that this happens with professional machines, and that I must place a cooler, they sent me a youtube video to indicate how to do it, OMG! I am sure that this is not the case, I have heard you say that this machine is ideal since it does not heat up, please help me, thank you
Really enjoy you videos. I have a large golden doodle. He has been banned from Petco because he bit the groomer when she was doing his feet. So I am trying to learn how to do it myself.
Hi, thank you so much for your videos I have a Yorky shire and I want to start grooming her myself, what would be the best clipper to use please thank you
I have a oneinall clipper with snap on combs the the dial has 0.8 mm 1.4 and 2.0 mm combs 3 6 9 12 15 &18 mm . Please help I have toy poodles. It's hard to get the top knot ears and tail. Also the body. Thank you ❤️
Help!! You were so kind as to help me with a blade question earlier, I now need your help again. I got a bee in my bonnet and ordered a blending blade, thinking it would help with the area starting just passed his ears. I'm thinking the word blending would do just what it says "blending". Our dog which he is now 7 yrs.and was a Tractor Supply puppy. A little boy and his mama with 9 puppies (seems that there were more) that had to find homes for these puppies before THEY! could go home . So my husband picked out what he thought was the least active pup, WRONG! lol He has been such a comfort and companion for my husband while I'm on the road. My husband gave our pup the little boy's name. My husband says the little fella said if he'd take another puppy he'd tell 'em his middle name too. LOL Funny, my husband did not go to Tractor Supply that day for a puppy, but so glad he did. He looks to have Lab with Golden Retriever color and a Collie mane or coat and that is what I shaved off with a #7 But the back of the head has such a blunt cut, that's the beast way to describe it. I thought the blending blade would smooth out the bluntness. Have you made any video using a blending blade or maybe you might not recommend this blade at all. If this is the case do you have a video that show how to smoothly go from shaved coat to full on fur. I kindly thank you for your time.
@@GoGroomer I sure will check that out. The blades do not have a number on the them. The Andis says Blending Ultra Edge and Wahl X-Blend. I can tell you this much they are larger then any other blades I have seen or have. To let you know I got these blades from Amazon. Thank you kindly.
@Debra Edalgo you may know this by now, but those big blending blades are not dog blades. They are made for clipping livestock for showing ruclips.net/video/qVmeNv2FxlQ/видео.html
Hi! I have a Whoodle - and I think he has a double coat, I don't know. He's super soft but curly and matts easily. What clipper blades should I use? I also worry they get hot on him. I looked at the chart you linked to and it doesn't have Whoodle. It has the soft coated wheaten (which he's curlier than) and and a poodle with different style cuts. I like more of a teddy look on him with a terrier beard/face. Thanks! Love your videos they're super helpful.
Go Groomer your the best.. keep it up beautiful. Professional groomers lik yourself are such a blessing! I have been watching since the moment I came across your first video I believe! Much love and respect #overlandparkkansas #staysafe #stayhealthy #stayhumble 🐾🐾🐾
What’s your best clipper? I’m using a “ cordless” clipper right now that I’m liking... but I’m always open for a better one... you mentioned a new one coming in may? Let us know please❣️really like your video! I’ve been grooming for YEARS and do lots of bouviers and terriers...
If I am clipping a heavy coat or large breed, I like the Wahl KM10 best. But for small jobs I love the Kenchii flash 4 in 1 cordless clipper. And yes, in May of this year, I will reveal a new clipper that many people will fall in love with❤️ Happy Grooming my friend:)
Thank you so much....I clipped my poor dog with a size 10 blade needless to say she looks pretty darn bad, she had long thick hair....I could not even bath her the hair would not let water get thru it turned into an a mat when wet, but at least after the shaving I was able to bathe her I just ordered the 4 FC blade for my clippers so NEXT time I will do a better job!
Darling.. I’m in a dilemma.. winter is approaching, I’d love to have my doodles coat a bit longer .. but I’m finding it hard to find the extra long attachment guards for the Wahl km10… I’m looking for the 1-2inch detachable guards
Hi Amy I took your advice and used the 5F on my mini schnauzer which I was so pleased ... but now other question 🙋♀️ what size skip tooth should I use to blend the fringe please ..... have purchased that yet ,thank you 🙏
Hi Amy. You are so special to do all these videos for us. Thank you so much. I buy everything you recommend. I bought the expensive Wahl KM 10 which as you know comes with the # 10 blade. I also bought the Wahl Stainless Steel attachment guide comb kit ( which is really overkill for my purposes). But in the Wahl instructions and on the cover of the comb kit, it says that the combs work best with #30 blade. Why is that? Now I am concerned about using the #10 blade that Wahl included with the clipper. Do I now have to spend more money to buy the #30 blade? What do you think about this given that you use the #10 blade with the #2 comb? If it's ok, I will likely do the same for my mini Bernedoodle who has a coat similar to Diesel's. 😊
Just found you and I have been thinking about grooming my dogs, 2 maltese, one has cancer so I want to keep him from any stress. Hoping after watching I can. My problem is what tools to buy??? Do you have a video about tool?

Groomers were closed and I learnt by watching hours of your grooming videos. I have even had people ask where I take Mr Magoo for grooms.
Have learnt so much and still learning from your channel you rock .
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you for the post this morning re: wahl km10 availability on pet edge!! I just ordered it, the blades, clipper oil and cool plus cleaner. You have changed my life and Pepper's life!!
Christine Rakela 🥰👏👏🎉
Wonderful presentation! I am simply trying to figure out how to groom my Giant Schnauzer. The trimmer thing tends to be overwhelming, combs vs blades, so confusing, but I learned tons from you! You show and explain things in such great detail. You build my confidence. You address every detail! OMG! Watching the video as I type...you answered my question....so the comb determines the length despite the blade! I kiss you! As far as future videos, just keep doing what you are doing. I do appreciate you addressing us amatuers that don't have professional equipment. Thank you so much!
Thanks for this video. Answered a lot of questions i had about clippers and blades. Thank you!
GunsRus my pleasure
You are so right about the first few grooms and creating that relationship,,, ❤️
Thank you for the great tutorial! Very helpful. You're very good at explaining clearly and great personality!

Take breaks with them and allow them to lay down and relax. Newfies are a lengthy grooming session.
Enjoying your videos. Watching from Waasis, New Brunswick, Canada
Thanks for watching! Glad to see you here!
I just got a Wahl pro pet set of clippers. I have a 7 month old Shorkie. He’s been groomed professionally twice and I bathe, brush, scissor in between. Not easy with a squirmy baby but he’s not too bad. I used the #10 on his whole body including face and it’s not perfect, but he looks good and nobody will know. Lol. I had to use the scissors in some places including tidying up his face. Which he doesn’t like btw. Your videos have been very helpful. Thank you 😊.
Glad to help 💕
What an awesome channel! So helpful and talented! I applied for 10 positions for grooming apprentice this week☺️
Super helpful. Just completed a terrible job on my dog - learning in progress.
Hi from Alabama! Thank you for your help!!
Happy to help!
Thank you for such an awesome and informative video. I learned more from you in this video than I did from my teacher at grooming school. I'll be saving and rewatching this several times over. 👏👏👏👏 Amazing video!!!! 😁❤️
I’m glad to learn this. We have groomers here but stay booked way in advance. Thank you
I’m so thankful for you and these videos. Thanks and thanks again. You are the best and sweetest to the babies.
You are so kind
Thank you. Best Instructional groomer
Wow, I used (what I call) the matt comb to dematt my sheepaddodle Gracies ears just now and the results are amazing. Thankfully I got to see your tip before I grabbed the #10 blade and shaved her down. She has sheepdog hair, next up her half brother Kirby who has poodle hair. Thank you (both of them got cuts with scissors about a month ago. A set of combs coming soon and with your guidance I am figuring this out.
I love you ❤️ I just got a groomer clipper set and a set of combs to try to learn how to groom my Morkie🤷♀️
I will be watching you a lot for your help. Thank you for these gifts to us new ones.
Thank you, best instructions I've seen on youtube.
Hi Amy Lee..... I have listed with interest to a few of you video clips & thanks aye!
I giggled to myself when you were answering a question from someone in relation to clipping with & against the lie of the dogs coat..... :) I myself am a sheep shearer & while I was doing my dog grooming training a few years ago I actually found out quickly how much extra comes off by clipping in reverse! OMG I was shocked to be fair, as I got carried away while grooming a shitzu. Oh it was certainly a conversation which a few of us got may weeks of laughter from.
Yet on the day at the salon I was mortified. The wee dog had tracks in the coat, it wasn't really bad but I knew I had slipped up. Going against the lie of the hair removed a little extra which was leaving the coat uneven. The dog was evened up before it's owner collected it yet I was certainly NOT going to forget that day! Yet we all had learned something different & it will always bring a big smile to my face! When shearing sheep I can go forward or backwards (easiest way to get the job done). Sheep wool grows out from the skin & makes for quicker & easier clipping sometimes. But aye hello from Ireland.
🥰😄🙃
Yah my husband has just bought me the whal you recommended you are awesome.
Thank u so much this video, I have a 1 1/2 year old maltipoo and I’d love to just groom my own dog 🐶 . Their is so many choices for blades to groom .
Your videos have been so helpful. I started grooming my dog at home because i couldn't afford to take both my dogs to get groomed every 2 to 3 weeks. It can get pricey. Investing in some good clippers is pricey but worth it because it will save me more money long term. I have two maltipoo's and the only trouble i have is she won't let me use the clippers on her legs. Idk what to do or to comfort her more so she is willing to let me work. Any advice would help. I love yours videos, i learned so much. Thank you for teaching us, your viewers how to properly groom our furr babies. ❤
You have a knack for teaching
I love this video! Trying to subscribe. I have 4 doodles and a poodle.
Awesome just what I needed to learn the difference.
Glad it helped!
My Maltese is 1¼ years old. He's been groomed most of his life by a pro groomer since he was about 8 weeks old. I was never told he was a problem dog. During lockdown I couldn't get to his groomer. So after 8 weeks I decided to do it myself. I'd had a little training and experience so I thought I'd be able to learn to improve my skills with pro tools and video instrution. I bought everything, brushes, combs, scissor sets and an Andis Pulse adjustable, rechargeable clipper. So good so far. My equipment looked very professional.
Rowdy was kept in a modified Asian Fusion style that his groomer kept looking great. I was giving him a thorough brushing 3 or 4 times weekly and bathing monthly to retain his appearance. During combing I found he was VERY UNHAPPY AND REFUSED TO BE QUIET when getting his feet, face and ears combed. He would throw an ABSOLUTE FIT when I tried to cut his nails. Its now 5 weeks later and I haven't yet cut his nails (using recommended clippers).
Now I'm giving appropriately named 'Rowdy' a full groom every 3 weeks. It's becoming a real chore. He really doesn't like showering with me or blow drying. While putting him on my table he begins to tremble a little but he's generally good. The Andis clipper is smooth and quiet. Rowdy is calm and comfortable while I cut his back and tops of his legs. I use a #7f equivalent to keep his hair very short. During all of this Rowdy is very calm and lets me move move him wherever I want. He's a very good dog.
THEN THE PROBLEMS BEGIN! When I'm scissoring on top of the tips of his tops he gets really excited (frightened?) and does his best to tear away. I really can't even get close to his feet with the scissors. He has a similar but less dramatic response wherever I get scissors anywhere near his face, especially eyes and muzzle.
It's really amazing that I am able to get him looking very good to the uninformed but keeping ear and jaw trim lines smooth and symmetrical is impossible. Small steps show on his pantaloon legs and bottom flares, throat, around the eyes, etc. Everywhere I have to scissor has far less than the professional look I I want to achieve. It's like trying to groom a bucking bronco. Give it a try. I think you'll go insane before you finish.
I've tried petting and holding him before and during during the grooming, especially petting and rubbing his paws, toes, and nails. But when I separate the toes he becomes very agitated and when the clipper gets close he panics and pulls away in a tear. Even showing Rowdy his nail clipper makes him start quivering and shaking.
Well, this has been a VERY LONG message but I thought it'd be important that you knew the entire back story to fully understand how Rowdy got to be a VERY DIFFICULT DOG. Much of the grooming job goes pretty fast and smoothly. Initial comb out takes 30 minutes or less. Showering, blow drying, and final combing takes another 30 minutes. Clipping his back, tummy and sanitaries less feet requires only 45 minutes. A poorly done final scissoring may take 1½ hours! Nails never happen.
How do I calm him down! He's a very lovable, friendly dog. Makes fast friends with anyone or almost any animal that doesn't try to attack him. I live in an Assisted Living Facility where everyone loves him. Staff will drop in just just to visit and hold him. He has no aggressive tendencies. He's a GREAT DOG although he does bark too much. His diet is is perfect and he's healthy and looks wonderful if you don't look too closely.
We love each other with all of our hearts. Can you please help help me teach him to accept his grooming so that we can both feel much better?
I'll appreciate you more than you'll ever know. It'd make my relationship with Rowdy just perfect. NOT BEING ABLE TO GROOM HIM LEAVES A HOLE IN
MY HEART ❤!
A Doggie Hammock may help. Stay consistent, always talk calmly, and keep reassuring them that they're ok. If none of it is working for you. Taking him to the Vet to get his nails trimmed, may be your only option.
Hi! I’m new to your channel. Own two Shitzus and new to learn how to groom them myself. Thanks for all your demos and good inf.
Love your videos! I’m learning soo much! Especially about why my previous grooming escapades with my thick coated cocker spaniel.poor thing😱 He’s had to endure sporting a half haircut more than once because my clippers wouldn’t go thru that hair and I gave up!🤦♀️
Thanks for the info on how to buy clippers🥳🎉🎊😘
Love your videos, your excellent grooming, and your love for our pets! I have learned so much from your videos! Thank you!

@@GoGroomer Thanks
I used to do human hair for a lifetime 🥹 and have groomed my dog with my oster and it is not quick and gets to warm so I just pushed buy now on a bravura pet clipper I have a Miniture schnauzer that is 28 lbs 🤔 she is adorable at any size anyhoo is this a good purchase product for her it’s only for her I am not planning on doing anyone else’s pet . Just my Fancy!!!
Or before I get it and open it is there a better fit for me . Ps are my human hair shears good enough to use on pets I have a small fortune invested and do I need to purchase any perfect blade for the clipper the bravura 5in 1 adjustable cordless is supposed to be adaptable as well as come with other blades . Ty in advance for your expertise and your personality is adorable and contagious. I can feel your professional and passion for the industry thank you for your time .
Dang, I missed the live, but am watching the video now. I am going to set my phone so I don't miss the lives. I learn so much from you. I just love the Kenchii brush, even ordered another one. The dogs really seem to enjoy the brush too.
no problem:) Would love for you to join us. Thanks for the feedback, I love the kenchii slicker too:)
Just found your channel. I have learned a lot. Thanks
I love it!!! Glad to help
Gotta love you, just found your channel and as soon as I heard your name “Amy Leigh” I knew you were special. That’s my chiorkie’s name (Fat Amy Lee) 💕💕💕
Really great work with the dog and the explanation!!!
Would love to see how you handle a feisty 1 year old mini-golden doodle!
My sister has a teacup yorkie. She likes him to have a teddy cut face but long body. He's due for another groom soon. I can see his coat is growing longer and filling in, after a "not great groom" (her words, not mine). How do I thin out his coat without it becoming patchy or affecting the length, please? Thinning scissors ✂️ downwards or the comb you demonstrated for ears above? Thanks in advance. Absolutely love your channel and advice ❤️ xxx
I have many videos using blending shears.
Hello Emily, from Sydney Australia, it is a pleasure to see your videos, look, I bought the KM10 wahl, I am cutting the hair of a very small toypoodle, before 5 minutes the blade was very hot, I sent a message to the company that sold it to me online, before 4 hours of having received the delivery, and I explained what happened, they replied that this happens with professional machines, and that I must place a cooler, they sent me a youtube video to indicate how to do it, OMG! I am sure that this is not the case, I have heard you say that this machine is ideal since it does not heat up, please help me, thank you
Well presented valuable information. Thank you.
My pleasure 💕
Your videos are so informative ❗️
Thank you for saying😊
Really enjoy you videos. I have a large golden doodle. He has been banned from Petco because he bit the groomer when she was doing his feet. So I am trying to learn how to do it myself.
*****I have a Shih tzu. To trim her face so she can see do I use a. Blade or snap on comb ? Which comb takes off the least length of hair. Thanks!
Love your work and what you share! THANK YOU for teaching us so much!!!
Oh that dog was cute I just had to put my black standard poodle down yesterday
I’m so sorry😢
Hi from Canada, love your video.
Hi, thank you so much for your videos
I have a Yorky shire and I want to start grooming her myself, what would be the best clipper to use please thank you
I have a oneinall clipper with snap on combs the the dial has 0.8 mm 1.4 and 2.0 mm combs 3 6 9 12 15 &18 mm . Please help I have toy poodles. It's hard to get the top knot ears and tail. Also the body. Thank you ❤️
Hi from Ireland, looking forward to this, I have a mini poodle, so need all the help I can get.
Help!! You were so kind as to help me with a blade question earlier, I now need your help again. I got a bee in my bonnet and ordered a blending blade, thinking it would help with the area starting just passed his ears. I'm thinking the word blending would do just what it says "blending". Our dog which he is now 7 yrs.and was a Tractor Supply puppy. A little boy and his mama with 9 puppies (seems that there were more) that had to find homes for these puppies before THEY! could go home . So my husband picked out what he thought was the least active pup, WRONG! lol He has been such a comfort and companion for my husband while I'm on the road. My husband gave our pup the little boy's name. My husband says the little fella said if he'd take another puppy he'd tell 'em his middle name too. LOL Funny, my husband did not go to Tractor Supply that day for a puppy, but so glad he did. He looks to have Lab with Golden Retriever color and a Collie mane or coat and that is what I shaved off with a #7 But the back of the head has such a blunt cut, that's the beast way to describe it. I thought the blending blade would smooth out the bluntness. Have you made any video using a blending blade or maybe you might not recommend this blade at all. If this is the case do you have a video that show how to smoothly go from shaved coat to full on fur. I kindly thank you for your time.
Debra Edalgo I’m not sure what size you mean when you say “blender blade?” Watch my video on full groom workshop.. that should help:)
@@GoGroomer I sure will check that out. The blades do not have a number on the them. The Andis says Blending Ultra Edge and Wahl X-Blend. I can tell you this much they are larger then any other blades I have seen or have. To let you know I got these blades from Amazon. Thank you kindly.
@Debra Edalgo you may know this by now, but those big blending blades are not dog blades. They are made for clipping livestock for showing
ruclips.net/video/qVmeNv2FxlQ/видео.html
Need to do more of them, and different dogs.
Hi! I have a Whoodle - and I think he has a double coat, I don't know. He's super soft but curly and matts easily. What clipper blades should I use? I also worry they get hot on him. I looked at the chart you linked to and it doesn't have Whoodle. It has the soft coated wheaten (which he's curlier than) and and a poodle with different style cuts. I like more of a teddy look on him with a terrier beard/face. Thanks! Love your videos they're super helpful.
I like to keep the coat around 1/2" on a dog that mats easily. Hope this helps.
I absolutely love you! Quality care is a must please post some bulldog videos love learning new techniques and must do’s 😁
Kassy Rader you got it!!! I will be filming a bulldog this week 😊
Go Groomer your the best.. keep it up beautiful. Professional groomers lik yourself are such a blessing! I have been watching since the moment I came across your first video I believe! Much love and respect #overlandparkkansas #staysafe #stayhealthy #stayhumble 🐾🐾🐾
Kassy Rader you rock!💕
What’s your best clipper? I’m using a “ cordless” clipper right now that I’m liking... but I’m always open for a better one... you mentioned a new one coming in may? Let us know please❣️really like your video! I’ve been grooming for YEARS and do lots of bouviers and terriers...
If I am clipping a heavy coat or large breed, I like the Wahl KM10 best. But for small jobs I love the Kenchii flash 4 in 1 cordless clipper. And yes, in May of this year, I will reveal a new clipper that many people will fall in love with❤️ Happy Grooming my friend:)
Great video! You explain things so well!
Thank you so much....I clipped my poor dog with a size 10 blade needless to say she looks pretty darn bad, she had long thick hair....I could not even bath her the hair would not let water get thru it turned into an a mat when wet, but at least after the shaving I was able to bathe her I just ordered the 4 FC blade for my clippers so NEXT time I will do a better job!
I used this video to clip my golden doodle. Made it much easier.
Thank you Amy.
Ps
Gus isn't in this video. Did he have the day off ?
Hello , watching from UAE...
Where can enroll and get a certification as a pet groomer , do you have school or seminar online ? Thank you...
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! You are wonderful.
Darling.. I’m in a dilemma.. winter is approaching, I’d love to have my doodles coat a bit longer .. but I’m finding it hard to find the extra long attachment guards for the Wahl km10… I’m looking for the 1-2inch detachable guards
Fresh has 1 inch guards.www.freshprotools.com/
Thank you Amy Leigh so are amazing. I wish you were in Arkansas 🥰
Hi Amy I took your advice and used the 5F on my mini schnauzer which I was so pleased ... but now other question 🙋♀️ what size skip tooth should I use to blend the fringe please ..... have purchased that yet ,thank you 🙏
wonderful:) I wouldn't use a skip tooth blade, I would us a 3/8" snap on comb for furnishings.
Hi Amy. You are so special to do all these videos for us. Thank you so much. I buy everything you recommend. I bought the expensive Wahl KM 10 which as you know comes with the # 10 blade. I also bought the Wahl Stainless Steel attachment guide comb kit ( which is really overkill for my purposes). But in the Wahl instructions and on the cover of the comb kit, it says that the combs work best with #30 blade. Why is that? Now I am concerned about using the #10 blade that Wahl included with the clipper. Do I now have to spend more money to buy the #30 blade? What do you think about this given that you use the #10 blade with the #2 comb? If it's ok, I will likely do the same for my mini Bernedoodle who has a coat similar to Diesel's. 😊
good question. I'd like to know this too.
I've just seen the answer in the video.
Just found you and I have been thinking about grooming my dogs, 2 maltese, one has cancer so I want to keep him from any stress. Hoping after watching I can. My problem is what tools to buy??? Do you have a video about tool?
