I am not a groomer, nor do I own any pets. I have no reason to watch your videos.... other than the fact that I love to watch you help these dogs by giving them a much needed hair cut. I’ve got to say I learned a little just by watching but to me it’s just interesting
Wow! Fantastic groom! That looked tough. When you were shaving his rear, I couldn't tell where his tail was! Lol Dede, when you get older and can't blow the kazoo anymore I will help you out. I even have it on my resume, computer skills, typing, blowing on kazoo. Lol! Love you and David! Great video as always! Merry Christmas! ; )
You did amazing work on this little fella. Ignore the bad comments they aren’t worth your time. He looks awesome and you got a couple of little kisses from him, how cute xxx
To be fair bichons hair is like Velcro. My bichon can visit the beach looking like a perfectly groomed show dog and leave with the worst matts ever just from a quick swim in the sea. A lot of bichon owners keep them on the lead and don’t allow them to have a full dogs life. I keep my bichon short these days so that she can enjoy the life she deserves.
Awe so cute he is!! Great groom. And I understand about her being elderly and not being able to brush..my mom had a yorkie and I stepped up to help her with brushing and getting him groomed. Just because they aren't able to do it themselves shouldn't mean they don't get the companion of a dog..its just someone should step in to help her. Thumbs up for the daughter who helped..i have been caring for my mom for 15 years now 24/7 she has Parkinson's disease so I completely understand... She's my whole world!❤ I really wish I lived closer to you so I could bring in our shih tzu!! You're the best!!💙💙💙
Respect. I always feel let my mother down by letting her go into a home. I told myself "i couldn't care for her"etc.. If i really wanted to i could have done more. That's a regret i will carry with me, you wont have to
You are very good at what you are doing thank you for caring for the beautiful animals that you care for 🎖😊🙂😁🦊🐕🐩🐺♥️⚘ that dog is happy at what you doing for him he is so relaxed he known he is getting care for thank you again
I wondered about the gloves. Good safety PPE on unknown dog. If your hands are dry this winter Working Hands salve is the best for the construction crowd, 2 days fix.
Oh, yeah, a bite is a bite. I have a 6-pounds westie mix. When she bites, ooouuuccchhhh, it really hurts! Imagine you are hit by a 6-pounds hammer! Look at the nails ..... they are way too long! No wonder he is so sensitive; he is in much pain. He is actually a sweet boy but feels so much pain. Poor dog. He is sooooo happy in the end.
amazing job, she handles the pup as it suppose to be. When I read comments like, she treats him so harsh or that she is mean to the dog, pleeeaaase. Do it your way and let´s see how successful you´ll be with your gentle approach, for sure not being of any help to the dogs that are problematic. She is really skilled and know what she does and you don´t know what you are talking about. Her approach helps the dog to understand that she is in control and she will not keep up with bad behavior.
I’ve groomed dogs before and I was never this rough or angry with them. People need to remember there’s a fine line between being firm and being rough. These animals are scared, they’re not trying to be mean or to hurt you. They feel threatened and are acting in defense. So take some time before the groom to get them used to the sound, let them smell your equipment and yourself. Talk to them, soothe them. Let them know you aren’t there to hurt them. If you take 5 minutes with an animal just getting to know them and letting them get to know you and your equipment, they won’t be as scared and you don’t have to be so rough. But to each their own.
The approach you talk about is brilliant! Having said that, it doesn´t work with every dog as much as we would like. There are dogs that will always hate groomer no matter what, and I´ve seen people picking up their pet unfinished, matted. At that point you as an owner need to decide and I´m glad she is willing to handle such a dog, for his own good.
@@crazycatlady5034 you cant have respect from your dog if you dont discipline it and small breeds need it THE MOST....EXERCISE DISCIPLINE AND AFTER EFECTION OR REWARD. If people treat ADULT DOGS LIKE YOUR HUMAN CHILDREN IS WRONG FOR THE DOGS PERIOD......the rest is just wasted words
I love the way you talk to the dogs Dede. You’re really trying to make a connection. This poor little boys matted fur has left his skin so pink,nit looks quite sore and sensitive, but he really improved from the start of the groom to later on, almost like he knew you were helping him and made him feel better 🙏🏻🤗🐶🐾💜
Hi Dede. I really enjoyed this one. I liked how you had the camera pointing to the rear end (of the dog lol), when you did the sanitary and the side view for the sticky matted hair around his wee willy as you trimmed that area so beautifully. I sympathize with both you AND the dog when you did his feet! The nails were extremely long and I think within a month or two, the nails would have gone right into the soft pads! You did an excellent job on his first groom. Getting to know him and his ways was crucial to a safe grooming experience.for both of you! Best wishes to you and Dave for the Christmas Holidays and thank you so much for your service to your country!
I really wish owners would be more conscious about what breed of dog they have and actually study dog breeds !! This pup shouldn’t have nails so long!! If the dog parent has health issues and has reasons behind why she’s/he’s not kept up with his pup then please rehome the pup! 😪😪😭
Hi Dede Thanks for the video I watch from Melbourne, Australia and enjoy and learn a lot from you You make it seem so easy and quick It used to take me hours when grooming and clipping my two poodles I now look after my granddaughter `s labradoodle during weekdays so she is not alone all day I brush her, keep her ears clean and trim her face between professional grooming and I find your advice very helpful Cheers and all the best Maria
Dede how would u cut a Shepard/ pit bull mix cut her nails, because she doesn’t like her feet messed with, I did buy a nail grinder, to do that, versus clipping them?
I have a bichon poodle and I have to comb her hair everyday so this doesn’t happen especially since it’s cold right now where I live we let her hair grow
There's a dog (name's lucky) I've been dog sitting for years, looks just like the dog in this video. Recently I found out I probably won't get to dog sit him anymore (He's not dead, some family stuff happened and I just wasn't allowed anymore). Watching the dog in the video jump up at the sight of his owner's daughter reminded me of Lucky, I started to brawl on the spot. Thanks Dede for sharing your videos. I always learn so much and its super interesting to see how a dog is groomed.
Ignore the ignorant haters. There are always people who love to criticise others. I love love love your videos. You have amazing skills and patience with the animals while still getting the job done. Shout out from Australia!
I have a Bichon/Maltese who has the same attitude when we do anything with his feet. He tolerates the hind feet, but does not like his front feet messed with. He also does that licking thing whenever he is nervous about anything, but has never bitten our groomer. Bichon’s are very stubborn and don’t give up until they get their way, and most people don’t have the patience to beat them at their game! This pup looks so much like my Titan! You did an awesome job with him!
I've been on a binge watching marathon since i was curious about grooming a Havanese. While I have no strong desire to start my own business (right now), your videos have given me pause to think about future ownership. I've been looking into adopting a dog in the future and your videos are informative and invaluable. I really wish you were in LA 😊
Hi Dede, I am watching you clip the long nails of the Bichon mix. I wanted to tell you that I have toes that are short and stubby and they often will aim to the ground. Even though I have soft nails, it still really hurts and aches deeply into the ends of my toes until I get them clipped. Please share with your viewers, because if it hurts me with soft nails imagine what the poor dogs go through. Thanks, I love to watch you and your style of being human.
@@willodaise2405 I think she means that it would be a good story to tell a pet parent to encourage the parent to think about how painful having long nails can be.
Hey Deedee! Dont pay attention to the haters! ;) Keep on being yourself! Clearly you are great at what you do. (I don’t even have a dog and I can’t stahp watching ur videos lmao) Very entertaining and educational! And helping me to keep in mind (one day when I am a dog owner) i will remember all ur amazing grooming tips! You ROCK!!! Keep making these videos! Please 👍🏽
I love your videos. It's so satisfying to see the dog cleaned up. On a side note it was funny, because I watched it with subtitles, (Auto-Generated) and it recognized the sound of the clippers as either "Applause" or "Music" So you will pause and talk, and then when you start clipping again, "Applause" .
This breaks my heart I have 3 bichons he’s so cute ❤️ Idk how he got so matted and neglected but he must have been hurt before to react that way when you touch the paws . Nice job you gave that pup tremendous relief
Would you please film a Saturday for us? I'd like to know how busy you mean. Something like the camera set up in one place, focused on the grooming table.
Although i still enjoy these videos, it made me cringe seeing how rough you were with this poor pup. I get that he was in bad shape to begin with, and a little unruly at times..but you didn't have to be so forceful about everything. There are more tactful ways to calm him down. Made me not wanna continue to watch the video.
Tactful maybe for you but not effective for the dog. Dogs need firm leadership and clear rules and boundaries or they will try to dominate the situation
Scandi Snowgirl the dog was scared. He wasn’t trying to dominate anything. I totally agree that she is too forceful and too rough. I’ve watched several of her videos and she yanks them around all over the place. The dog cried because she hurt him and she got angry. I understand she needs to protect herself, but she also needs to be more considerate of how scared these animals are. While I do appreciate that she is helping the animals in the end by getting rid of the terrible matting, I would never take my dogs to her, EVER. I’d rather a give my dog an uneven cut myself than take any of them to her. Being firm is one thing, being rough and angry is another.
Spirit Song the dog wasn’t even aggressive. It was scared. If she had take literally just 5 minutes to talk to the dog and soothe it and get the dogs trust, it would have gone a lot smoother. But it doesn’t matter. She was harsh and aggressive even just moving the dog around.
Such great distraction techniques, control and empathy/connection with the pet. I learn how to care for and what to expect from groomers. Truly outstanding and worth the time to watch. Thank You. ❤️
What is wrong with these owners who let their dogs go like that? The poor bichon couldn't see because of the hair in his eyes. His nails were soooo long. Terrible.
Watch til the end. The owner is elderly and possibly having some dementia issues. No need to criticize a nice old lady who has having health problems, and the daughter did some fantastic work by driving FAR out of the way to get to this groomer. =)
honestly i just love to see how much happier the doggos are after all the mats are out and theyre nails are trimmed. Theyre terrified because it hurts and they have no real way of communicating that other than acting out. everything about his demeaner changed once all that was off him. I wonder if it would be worth you guys getting a Doggy Van for appointment pick ups [at an extra charge of course] for those less abled like this pet parent? there seems to be a few whos dogs end up like this purely because they cant get to the groomers often enough.
Love your channel, and I think you have it right in how you deal with clients, my groomer was exactly the same and I'm glad you talk through your videos. I live in the UK and I had a lhasa who would not let me brush him, so I had him cut every six weeks, but he was good at the groomers, go figure, but sadly he passed away November last year.
Dede you are truly a wonder!! Love your videos, love all the dogs, even the sound of the buzz relaxes me! Wish I could take my ADORABLE "TEDDY BEAR PUPPY" to you to get groomed but living in Minnesota....its probably not going to happen! Love you sweet girl!
Brilliant video Dede. Ignore haters, who are essentially trolls. If you feed the trolls, they’ll keep coming back. Ignore them. Most of comments today were wonderful. You’ve got a large base of people who like you personally and love to watch your artistry. I loved the detail used with your camera on his grooming, and his nails. Merry Christmas to you and David, have a Happy New Year!
Im new and not a pet owner although we r looking to give a home to a dog. I love yr approach and watching u is helping us decide what kinda dog we can manage thanks x
Thank you, here are my favorites and my opinions based on grooming and owning; yorkie average life span 10-12 years, shihtzu brown one average life span 13 years., golden retriever life span average 9 years, chihuahua or chihuahua mix average age 15-20 years.
Dede - i have poodles and bichon and like to watch these .. but i also watch many others - i love your commentary ... without you would have to mime and that would be challenge holding a clipper or taking care of some of the nasty deeds you have to perform - i am a new groomer of my own pets ... have you ever considered specific tutorials ... lets say 5 beginners/5 intermediates and 5 advanced - i would pay for that !
Love the "me and you" regarding the nails. Great job again Dede !! Would love to see how the dog behave's on its second grooming and hope you post that video Dede... HAPPY HOLIDAYS ~ MERRY CHRISTMAS.. BLESSINGS !
AMEN! The dog we just rescued was so not having his feet done. Took me 5 hours to just get all the Matts off . poor baby... I got it all off now I'm brushing it & combing daily & i just took charge & had to just shave it off & stop letting him pull . he kept pulling. I learned a lot from this video. Now I'm waiting for hair to grow some to even out but i feel i did pretty well for first time. & brushing & combing is def... Key to keep grinning easier... Thank you! ❤...
Please please please please can someone tell me wa can I use too make the matting a little easy b4 I groom them I use too take them too the groomers but can't afford it the wanted 125.00 an I have 4 dogs and no one wants too do it cause they are a little aggressive they r shizul, an 3 malshizul.any advise and I am disable with my back is have surveer siacdica I have problems walking and standing long 😕😯thank u for any advice MERRY CHRISTMAS TOO ALL GOD'S BLESSING TOO U FAMILY 🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🔔🔔🔔🔔🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎉🎊⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄❄❄❄❄❄
You need a matt breaker - it's a comb with sharp edges which will cut through the matt and tangles - or a dematting rake. Look for coat king rakes (size 12?) too which will help thin the coat and take some of the undercoat out. Use a detangling spray before you start. Watch a couple of videos before you start using them - short, and gentle, don't overuse as they thin the coat a lot, never on skin and always with coat direction.
If they won't stay in one place, you can get a grooming arm which clamps to a table or work surface so you can sit down to groom. I find doing little and often on the sofa the easiest if I can't manage a full groom. Plenty of rewards, and don't let them escape when they want to - it should be your decision.
I just found your channel and I love it! I have two bichon frises myself and had to click on this video because he looks exactly (after groomed) like one of my girls
OMGOSH! I Love You!!!!! I live in Little Rock Arkansas, I would drive to you if I could arrange a time. I have been binge watching your shows since Friday 😀 I have a toy poodle 💜 I have learned so much about maintenance now. Thank you!!! I truly never thought I had to brush often. I thank you so much!!!!!!!!!! I will absolutely do my absolute best to brush ❣️ Love you
His nails were so long maybe that's why he was whimpering and didn't like being shaved there....I felt bad for him but you did a wonderful job noticing what the problem was....I'm pretty sure he felt so much better after wards....he looks so much better and feels good being trimmed.....I enjoy watching your videos everyday....teaching me quit alot....
Thank you so much for your awesome comments! Been super excited to find this page. I'm working on learning how to train my dog Force free using positive reinforcement. There are million good tips that you provide. I especially appreciate the little back story comments at the end! I've been trying to get her gradually used to being groomed and was trying to decide if I should push myself and start clipping her or not yet and you convinced me to wait and learn a little more. Do you have videos on how to operate Clippers and how to do face?
Hi! I have watched you for a while now and I think you’re great. I adopted a Bichon in November. His name is Teddy. I want to learn enough to groom him at home.
just re-watching some of my faves. he was such a cute little 👦 and dede did such a good job!! SoOo true about someday children needing to help parents. We're learning about that in my family. Sometimes it happens sooner than you realize...
I just have to say that pets are just like children. They can't fill their food dishes or get water. They need to be clean just as u do. ( well some people). They're defenseless. U have to keep up their vet visits because they can't tell u if they are sick. Pets become our family. If u know u can't take of ur pet then don't get one or have kids. Set a time everyday to do maintenance on ur pet then they will get used to it. I have two cats. 1 long haired and 1 shortbhaired and I brush them 2x a week at the same time and they got used to it. Just love ur pets. Because one day u might a surprise knock and animal control will be standing on the ither side! Great job Dede!!! 🐱🐶🐱🐶🐱😘😀
Wow that's what I dealt with today, poor mom can't keep up on her "show style " bichon. Was upsetting I basically had to do this exact thing to a dog normally well maintained. Course he was a angel for it, though Daisy did come in this week, so I got my pill dog in before christmas. Yay!
This poor little guy didn’t ask to be so matted. Your doing a great job! He just looks scared and obviously it’s painful for him with the mats in his paws 😢
I am not a groomer, nor do I own any pets. I have no reason to watch your videos.... other than the fact that I love to watch you help these dogs by giving them a much needed hair cut. I’ve got to say I learned a little just by watching but to me it’s just interesting
Gigi Leon-Gonzalez #same !!!
me too.
Me too
Me too
What a difference in him tolerating his legs and feet touched, once you cut his nails!
I bet that dog feels better now he's not matted! He certainly looked happy! If I lived in America I'd without a doubt take my dogs to you!
Wow! Fantastic groom! That looked tough. When you were shaving his rear, I couldn't tell where his tail was! Lol Dede, when you get older and can't blow the kazoo anymore I will help you out. I even have it on my resume, computer skills, typing, blowing on kazoo. Lol! Love you and David! Great video as always! Merry Christmas! ; )
You did amazing work on this little fella. Ignore the bad comments they aren’t worth your time. He looks awesome and you got a couple of little kisses from him, how cute xxx
That's a whole lot of hair. It reminds me of shaving a sheep.
Yeah Shawn 😂 👍 ♥
I have this dog breed. Very sheep like 😂 I have my dog kept really really short because I have so much trouble brushing him out 😂
😂😂
It’s shearing a sheep
He'll look so cute when it grows back! His face looks adorable now though.
I really don't understand how people let their dogs get so matted. Poor thing
Elizabeth perkins you should of stayed for the end of the video. The mom dog is an elderly lady that’s starting to forgets things.
To be fair bichons hair is like Velcro. My bichon can visit the beach looking like a perfectly groomed show dog and leave with the worst matts ever just from a quick swim in the sea.
A lot of bichon owners keep them on the lead and don’t allow them to have a full dogs life. I keep my bichon short these days so that she can enjoy the life she deserves.
I have two bichons myself. Expensive to have both groomed but they are worth every penny.
For being his first, wow. He was a pretty good boy. Looks great. He appreciated the groom. Nice work! 🥳
I would watch dede shape ears all day!
Awe so cute he is!! Great groom. And I understand about her being elderly and not being able to brush..my mom had a yorkie and I stepped up to help her with brushing and getting him groomed.

24/7 for 15 years with Parkinson's is not an easy thing to do. I admire your dedication, Helen!!! Keep it up =)
Cheers to you!
Thank you so much!❤
Respect. I always feel let my mother down by letting her go into a home. I told myself "i couldn't care for her"etc.. If i really wanted to i could have done more. That's a regret i will carry with me, you wont have to
After the bath he had a totally different look on his face. More relaxed look amazing
You are very good at what you are doing thank you for caring for the beautiful animals that you care for 🎖😊🙂😁🦊🐕🐩🐺♥️⚘ that dog is happy at what you doing for him he is so relaxed he known he is getting care for thank you again
Those nails... my heart 💔💔💔 Thank God you helped this sweetheart!!
I wondered about the gloves. Good safety PPE on unknown dog. If your hands are dry this winter Working Hands salve is the best for the construction crowd, 2 days fix.
my hands were soo red, sore, cracky...
that stuff worked wonders on them...
just a little bit works ...
its expensive, but sooo worth it!!

Thanks for the video
I watch from Melbourne, Australia and enjoy and learn a lot from you
You make it seem so easy and quick
It used to take me hours when grooming and clipping my two poodles
I now look after my granddaughter `s labradoodle during weekdays so she is not alone all day
I brush her, keep her ears clean and trim her face between professional grooming and I find your advice very helpful
Cheers and all the best
Maria
What happened to your sleeve? Did you flex? LoL
he turned out really good dede....did very well for a first time groom...all down to you dede..xx
I feel for the baby...it hurt. But it has to be done for heath reasons. Matting can be dangerous.
Dede how would u cut a Shepard/ pit bull mix cut her nails, because she doesn’t like her feet messed with, I did buy a nail grinder, to do that, versus clipping them?
I have a bichon poodle and I have to comb her hair everyday so this doesn’t happen especially since it’s cold right now where I live we let her hair grow
No Name same here. I have a bichon havanese.
Bruh is that a dog or a velociraptor somebody get these parents nail clippers 😳
Sydney Kuhne LMAO
Sydney Kuhne I laughed way to hard at that 😂
Dede great job as always but can I ask why you wear gloves with some dogs but not others ?
i think it may be due to poop in the fur here
DeDe - remember to move the camera upward some when doing the head, we can't see what your doing....
In the summer we usaly cut my Bichon poodle mix just how you did it
Am I the only one who watches Dede’s videos and talks to the dog? I’m sitting here saying, “You’re all right, buddy” while she’s scissoring! 🤣
Me too! Lol
When he screamed I flinched so hard! He startled me big time Lol!!!!
You took great care of him! Great job Dede!!!!
Me too🤣
❤❤❤
It's amazing how much this sweet dog calmed down after his nails were trimmed. Dede, you (as always) did a fantastic job.

@@willodaise2405 I think she means that it would be a good story to tell a pet parent to encourage the parent to think about how painful having long nails can be.
I love watching you work. You do the best work. Love ya lots
Geez you make this look so easy! Nails always make me nervous. I'm afraid I'll hit the quick. I love what you did for his face. So cute!!
Many of those seniors have companion dogs, so you could set up a little grooming business at the senior homes if/when you get there :)
Poor thing, it's like sheep wool

"No we're not gonna argue" 😂😂😂😂 amazing
I really enjoy watching your programme. I would like to know what is the name of the electric shaver that you use to groom your dogs.
Great job Dede. , your the best and you always give care and respect to the dogs !👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎄🎄🎄🎄🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You should make a playlist of noises ready to distract!
That was so funny. I was cracking up when she put the kazoo in her mouth and started to make those noises! 😊
Totally! Or just use relaxing music! Music can do alot!
Those toys made my dogs go crazy! Great job Dede...those nails..poor thing..♥️
Hahahaaaaa!!! Need gyno’s to play a kazoo to distract me!!!! LMAOOOO
You have to get powder-free gloves so your hands will not sweat.
I love your videos. It's so satisfying to see the dog cleaned up.
On a side note it was funny, because I watched it with subtitles, (Auto-Generated) and it recognized the sound of the clippers as either "Applause" or "Music"
So you will pause and talk, and then when you start clipping again, "Applause" .
LOL it does!!!!!!
Always think it looks like a little kid trying to lose their pajamas when you start to groom the hind end. Good job.
This breaks my heart I have 3 bichons he’s so cute ❤️ Idk how he got so matted and neglected but he must have been hurt before to react that way when you touch the paws . Nice job you gave that pup tremendous relief
Would you please film a Saturday for us? I'd like to know how busy you mean. Something like the camera set up in one place, focused on the grooming table.
Although i still enjoy these videos, it made me cringe seeing how rough you were with this poor pup. I get that he was in bad shape to begin with, and a little unruly at times..but you didn't have to be so forceful about everything. There are more tactful ways to calm him down. Made me not wanna continue to watch the video.
I totally agree
Tactful maybe for you but not effective for the dog. Dogs need firm leadership and clear rules and boundaries or they will try to dominate the situation
Scandi Snowgirl the dog was scared. He wasn’t trying to dominate anything. I totally agree that she is too forceful and too rough. I’ve watched several of her videos and she yanks them around all over the place. The dog cried because she hurt him and she got angry. I understand she needs to protect herself, but she also needs to be more considerate of how scared these animals are. While I do appreciate that she is helping the animals in the end by getting rid of the terrible matting, I would never take my dogs to her, EVER. I’d rather a give my dog an uneven cut myself than take any of them to her. Being firm is one thing, being rough and angry is another.
Spirit Song the dog wasn’t even aggressive. It was scared. If she had take literally just 5 minutes to talk to the dog and soothe it and get the dogs trust, it would have gone a lot smoother. But it doesn’t matter. She was harsh and aggressive even just moving the dog around.
She has to show authority or she won't be able to get the job done, plus she would be there even longer than it takes to do the groom.😒
i've been grooming for 37 years I do nails and ears last it helps
it dose help and using a bavarian clipper not sure of spelling it quite
It pains me just to see those nails...what more this poor little baby
I have watched many of your clip I have to say you are not a master groomer you just use your clipper and cut everyone can do that so try to lear
There was a handsome guy under that mess! You did an awesome job!
Such great distraction techniques, control and empathy/connection with the pet. I learn how to care for and what to expect from groomers. Truly outstanding and worth the time to watch. Thank You. ❤️
Love the discipline and the lack of baby talk.
Didn't he calm down a lot after you removed the matt's from his feet.
What is wrong with these owners who let their dogs go like that? The poor bichon couldn't see because of the hair in his eyes. His nails were soooo long. Terrible.
Watch til the end. The owner is elderly and possibly having some dementia issues. No need to criticize a nice old lady who has having health problems, and the daughter did some fantastic work by driving FAR out of the way to get to this groomer. =)
honestly i just love to see how much happier the doggos are after all the mats are out and theyre nails are trimmed. Theyre terrified because it hurts and they have no real way of communicating that other than acting out. everything about his demeaner changed once all that was off him. I wonder if it would be worth you guys getting a Doggy Van for appointment pick ups [at an extra charge of course] for those less abled like this pet parent? there seems to be a few whos dogs end up like this purely because they cant get to the groomers often enough.
Yeah it's short but the finished product is adorable, especially that face! Looks like a little puppy again! =)
If his nails weren't hurting him so much i think he would have been easier to groom. Hes very handsome now:)
Bc ute doesn't matter when it comes to matted dogs. I try to make it look ok if possible but the privilege was lost when the dog got severely matted.
Hi again Dede
Wow, it takes a lot of talent and courage to groom a frightened dog
Great work x
Love your channel, and I think you have it right in how you deal with clients, my groomer was exactly the same and I'm glad you talk through your videos. I live in the UK and I had a lhasa who would not let me brush him, so I had him cut every six weeks, but he was good at the groomers, go figure, but sadly he passed away November last year.
Dede you are truly a wonder!! Love your videos, love all the dogs, even the sound of the buzz relaxes me! Wish I could take my ADORABLE "TEDDY BEAR PUPPY" to you to get groomed but living in Minnesota....its probably not going to happen! Love you sweet girl!
Brilliant video Dede. Ignore haters, who are essentially trolls. If you feed the trolls, they’ll keep coming back. Ignore them. Most of comments today were wonderful. You’ve got a large base of people who like you personally and love to watch your artistry. I loved the detail used with your camera on his grooming, and his nails. Merry Christmas to you and David, have a Happy New Year!
Im new and not a pet owner although we r looking to give a home to a dog. I love yr approach and watching u is helping us decide what kinda dog we can manage thanks x
Thank you, here are my favorites and my opinions based on grooming and owning; yorkie average life span 10-12 years, shihtzu brown one average life span 13 years., golden retriever life span average 9 years, chihuahua or chihuahua mix average age 15-20 years.
Cute little guy! Was very good considering the knots, nails and hinny! Great job Dede! Merry Christmas!
Dede - i have poodles and bichon and like to watch these .. but i also watch many others - i love your commentary ... without you would have to mime and that would be challenge holding a clipper or taking care of some of the nasty deeds you have to perform - i am a new groomer of my own pets ... have you ever considered specific tutorials ... lets say 5 beginners/5 intermediates and 5 advanced - i would pay for that !
Love the "me and you" regarding the nails. Great job again Dede !! Would love to see how the dog behave's on its second grooming and hope you post that video Dede... HAPPY HOLIDAYS ~ MERRY CHRISTMAS.. BLESSINGS !
I’m listening to this on the train and I literally jumped out of my seat in front of everyone when he yelped! 😭😭😭😭
He was an awesome pet for the first time.
Is this a rescue or just really bad pet parents?
It has an owner. Though, the owner is elderly and have health problems
elderly owner (developing memory issues?) adult daughter saw how bad the dog was and brought it in
AMEN! The dog we just rescued was so not having his feet done. Took me 5 hours to just get all the Matts off . poor baby... I got it all off now I'm brushing it & combing daily & i just took charge & had to just shave it off & stop letting him pull . he kept pulling. I learned a lot from this video. Now I'm waiting for hair to grow some to even out but i feel i did pretty well for first time. & brushing & combing is def... Key to keep grinning easier... Thank you! ❤...
I'd be getting stressed to being on the table for an hour.
I enjoy your videos Dede and I have learned a lot from them.
This was the 1st video I ever watched of Dede groooming a dog. One year ago! So glad I did. 😊
Please please please please can someone tell me wa can I use too make the matting a little easy b4 I groom them I use too take them too the groomers but can't afford it the wanted 125.00 an I have 4 dogs and no one wants too do it cause they are a little aggressive they r shizul, an 3 malshizul.any advise and I am disable with my back is have surveer siacdica I have problems walking and standing long 😕😯thank u for any advice MERRY CHRISTMAS TOO ALL GOD'S BLESSING TOO U FAMILY 🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🔔🔔🔔🔔🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎉🎊⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄❄❄❄❄❄
You need a matt breaker - it's a comb with sharp edges which will cut through the matt and tangles - or a dematting rake. Look for coat king rakes (size 12?) too which will help thin the coat and take some of the undercoat out. Use a detangling spray before you start. Watch a couple of videos before you start using them - short, and gentle, don't overuse as they thin the coat a lot, never on skin and always with coat direction.
If they won't stay in one place, you can get a grooming arm which clamps to a table or work surface so you can sit down to groom. I find doing little and often on the sofa the easiest if I can't manage a full groom. Plenty of rewards, and don't let them escape when they want to - it should be your decision.

I just found your channel and I love it! I have two bichon frises myself and had to click on this video because he looks exactly (after groomed) like one of my girls
OMGOSH! I Love You!!!!! I live in Little Rock Arkansas, I would drive to you if I could arrange a time. I have been binge watching your shows since Friday 😀 I have a toy poodle 💜 I have learned so much about maintenance now. Thank you!!! I truly never thought I had to brush often. I thank you so much!!!!!!!!!! I will absolutely do my absolute best to brush ❣️ Love you
His nails were so long maybe that's why he was whimpering and didn't like being shaved there....I felt bad for him but you did a wonderful job noticing what the problem was....I'm pretty sure he felt so much better after wards....he looks so much better and feels good being trimmed.....I enjoy watching your videos everyday....teaching me quit alot....
Nice cut dede
Thank you so much for your awesome comments! Been super excited to find this page. I'm working on learning how to train my dog Force free using positive reinforcement. There are million good tips that you provide. I especially appreciate the little back story comments at the end! I've been trying to get her gradually used to being groomed and was trying to decide if I should push myself and start clipping her or not yet and you convinced me to wait and learn a little more. Do you have videos on how to operate Clippers and how to do face?
Hi! I have watched you for a while now and I think you’re great. I adopted a Bichon in November. His name is Teddy. I want to learn enough to groom him at home.
just re-watching some of my faves. he was such a cute little 👦
and dede did such a good job!! SoOo true about someday children
needing to help parents. We're learning about that in my family.
Sometimes it happens sooner than you realize...
You made him sooo... pretty. Love the summer cuts. Very clean
I just have to say that pets are just like children. They can't fill their food dishes or get water. They need to be clean just as u do. ( well some people). They're defenseless. U have to keep up their vet visits because they can't tell u if they are sick. Pets become our family. If u know u can't take of ur pet then don't get one or have kids. Set a time everyday to do maintenance on ur pet then they will get used to it. I have two cats. 1 long haired and 1 shortbhaired and I brush them 2x a week at the same time and they got used to it. Just love ur pets. Because one day u might a surprise knock and animal control will be standing on the ither side! Great job Dede!!! 🐱🐶🐱🐶🐱😘😀
12:24 me too Dede lol dude I jumped👀👀!
He a happy doggy now . Good job 👍🏻
Wow that's what I dealt with today, poor mom can't keep up on her "show style " bichon. Was upsetting I basically had to do this exact thing to a dog normally well maintained. Course he was a angel for it, though Daisy did come in this week, so I got my pill dog in before christmas. Yay!
This poor little guy didn’t ask to be so matted. Your doing a great job! He just looks scared and obviously it’s painful for him with the mats in his paws 😢
