Thank you Clara, my dogs' welfare and happiness is my priority. Using the correct techniques are important, but for me, I try to separate the grooming sessions so they don't get too tired or overwhelmed and it keeps them happy, and enjoy grooming.
@@Clara-gm2mn we normally start around age 4 months and glue till maybe around 9 months but I know of some who want to glue till age 12 months. I think to start after that is too late.
Sheila, your videos are excellent and you are a great teacher. I have a nearly 7 month Airedale and I have been setting his ears since he was 3 months , however, his ears still look floppy. Not at all like your dog. Is it too late to keep trying to set his ears? What else can I do?
hi there, I'm sorry for the late reply. Has your puppy's adult teeth all come in yet? It is likely to be so. When the adult teeth are set in, it normally means ear gluing beyond this time may not be as successful. However, I have glued my own pup's ears till she was 9 months old, I just kept gluing till I was satisfied. Perhaps you can continue gluing till 9 months old. I also know other show owners who glue till their dogs turn 1 with success.
I have an Airedale and would never do this , it's clear you love your dog and care for him , but I love mine just as he is, ears and all, so for me he is fine as he is,I myself am definately not OCD like you as far as my Airedale is concerned . p.s I know that Airedales are mighty handsome dogs , but I never get over seeing other Airedales and appreciating all over again how god damn handsome these dogs are .
Thank you, this video was created for those who DO want their dogs' ears glued, as I do. I respect those who do not want to glue their dogs ears, it is up to their owners. Some human parents want their teenage children (humans) to wear braces to straighten up their teeth as they are growing up, some parents don't need their children to have perfect straight teeth. There is no right or wrong, it is just up to the individual what they want to do. This video is meant for those who do. Thank you for watching and commenting.
I loved this video. Have watched it several times. I have a 11 week old Standard Schnauzer and have glued the ears before watching your video. I used tear mender but missed the iodine and ear cleaning step. He has been glued for 1 day and seems to be itching at his ears and is uncomfortable. Is this normal for the first few glueings? Or should I take the ears down and start over?
Sheila, please tell us how to find the breeder of your dogs, I haven’t found his kennel on tenet either. Where is Devon Allen’s kennel and phone number. Thank you for your wonderful videos!
hello Don, you can find him on Facebook, search for Devon Allen. You will find his profile photo with an Airedale terrier. You can tell him you found me on RUclips and I referred you to him. He has a litter about to be born in 2 weeks so your timing is perfect. Sorry I haven't been able to respond sooner, as I don't check my RUclips channel often.
@@SheilaTayRadcliffe Sheila , thank you so much for your assistance. I will try to find him. We love your videos and your talent. What a blessing! My name is Jaime Olivencia, in Wenatchee, WA. DonFlugencio is the name I use to play chess on line.
@@donflugencio7272 Jamie, I live in Gig Harbor WA, there are several of us who are bringing our dogs and bitches out to be shown in western WA in the AKC dog shows soon. It will be awesome if you end up with a puppy from Devon.
6 months old is not too old, but unfortunately I never got to read your comment until now. So now he will be 1 year old and it will be too late. I hope you were able to get your breeder's advice earlier and you were able to glue your dog's ear prior to my late reply.
Raja is such a good boy to lay there so calmly. Although it makes me cringe to watch the stripping. It looks so painful. I had a sheltie puppy I had to glue her ears so they would tip correctly. I also had to massage the ear cartilage to soften per the breeders instructions. After all that work only one ear ended tipping correctly and one was upright so she ended looking uneven. I would not do that today. I think they are beautiful however they end up looking. Sparkle was such a beauty and joy, even with her uneven ears.
Hello Aussie mommy, I understand your concern and reaction to the coat stripping. However, the terrier coat is not like the Aussie coat, or like a normal poodle/bichon coat. The terrier coat was designed to be pulled out, and when trimmed correctly it would not hurt the dog. Trust me, my Airedales would let me know if they were disagreeable about the stripping. All broken coated terriers will let you know when something hurts them. Their terrier temperaments are not soft and their coats are not soft either.
I’ve never had a terrier so I’m glad to learn the differences. My toy Aussie has a soft coat but doesn’t shed like a typical Aussie. I had a Lhasapoo who I had to strip her inner ear fur because her fur was so long. So knowing the needs of each breed is important. Thanks for explaining the differences.
How does the dog not attempt to scratch this off? I want to do this but my dog would instantly attempt to scratch this off and potentially pull out the glued part and probably hair too.
We do a few attention diversion tricks, such as providing a very high quality chew thing that would require the puppy's attention for a long time. There is also vet wrapping the front paws, and letting the puppy remove those instead. The most fundamental way to stop the puppy from pulling it off is by verbally correcting the dog and giving it an alternative activity instead. Their attention spans are extremely short at this time, and they tend to forget that their ears are up after a short time. Normally the glue disintegrates after a few short weeks, and it can be taken down by this time. This ear gluing is only a temporary measure, not meant to be forever.
Preparing the ears, cleaning them, making sure they are dry and ready, and then gluing, the whole process can take up to 30 min. I would normally keep it up for 2-4 weeks at a stretch. When either ear comes undone, due to glue falling off, or dog scratching it off, I would normally reglue again. Normally I would keep the ears glued until I was satisfied, it may take 2 to 3 times of gluing, or if the puppy was a show dog, I would glue till the pup turned about 9 to 10 months of age. I know of others who glue till the pup turns 1 year old.
Ok thank you. And in between re setting leave them free for a few days? I have a Parson russell with one rose ear, 13 weeks old. I’ve glued them but their hair isn’t as long or thick as your breed and they shed more often, so it detaches within a few days. I’ve applied a little more glue with a q tip like you mentioned in the video so do this and then re set at 2/3 weeks?
@@alexisbaker5611 when the glue is off and ears come down, I leave them to relax for a day or two, then reglue for another 2-3 weeks. I will keep gluing until I am satisfied with the ear set.
I'm sorry but anything done to reset ears after age 1 year old would probably not be effective anymore, as the adult teeth have grown in and set in the gum line. So for your dog who is one and a half year old, it is too late.
To each his own. Some human parents make their teenage children wear braces on their teeth to make them straight. For me, a few short months of gluing ears is like me putting on braces on my son. I just want my dog's ears to be absolutely perfect. That is all.
Hi Sobia, I want my dog's ears to be symmetrical so that they would look as close as possible to the correct breed standard as he is being shown to his championship title. Now that he has already gotten his CH title, we are working towards getting his grand ch title. The ears need to be close to perfect, if he wants to be competitive in the show ring. In any case, the ear gluing was for a short time only, and his ears are now perfect and won't need further gluing. It was just a temporary measure for a permanent fix.
Good job nice video helpful
Incredibly friendly Dale ❤

Can u do this for my mini schnauzer puppy. He's 12 weeks and ears fold back. Thank you!
There is no way Argos, who shares a sire with Raja, will keep that still on the grooming table despite practicing since I got him.
I'm not sure why.

@@SheilaTayRadcliffe Thanks for the reply.
Скажите, пожалуйста, какой клей используете? Спасибо!
It is called Tear Mender, a non toxic glue for fabric
Thanks!!!🥰@@SheilaTayRadcliffe
Hi Up to how many months of age can the ears be corrected? I have a welsh terrier and his ears are a bit like fox terriers.
Normally up till the time the adult teeth sets in completely, and I know of breeders who can glue up to age 1 for puppies.
До какого возраста можно клеить уши?
Около 1 года
I too am wondering the age that this has to be accomplished by, can you pleas enlighten me?
Hi Royord, normally ear gluing will no longer be effective after age 1, or when the adult teeth are fully grown in and set.
Which type of glue do you use?
Hello Ricardo, I use tear mender.
@@SheilaTayRadcliffe thanks
If dog's ears need to be glued - the standard should change.
In other words: Don't glue ears.
To each his own. Some human parents make their teenage children wear braces on their teeth to make them straight. For me, a few short months of gluing ears is like me putting on braces on my son. I just want my dog's ears to be absolutely perfect. That is all.
Leave the dog alone! Leave his ears the way there are..
Even with no work demand they are beasts of burden.
