This seems pretty stupid to me. Wouldn't consider my good boy to be an object or accessory. That's family right there.
Yeah but people do it to their kids all the time. I'm on your side, I think its ridiculous that they do this to their animals. I also think it's ridiculous that mothers put their 3 year olds in makeup and tutu's to be paraded around and judged. But hey, who am I to tell people what's right or wrong.
@@mntvl4419 yeah, I'm not going to say what's right and wrong, but I think we can agree that it's all stupid, lol.
RNDR exactly.
It's just something fun for creative people (just like people dye their own hair) and the dogs eat up the attention they get from people. I just colored my pups tail and paws pink with little pink highlights on her head. People love to see her and she gets even more attention from people around her which she loves. I'm not necessarily into the competition level just because it's not my thing, but I love the low level because it's fun for me and my pup.
Some of these creations are just hideous and creepy!
Wat the hell??? OMG!!!
Alr then you try being creative? I bet ya cant even compete in anything like this. This isnt just for you to be entertain!
Dog is an animal living creature,not a f*****g Barbie doll.
Becia becia ikr, a human wouldn’t want to be colored and blow drying their hair for like 9 hours just standing still.
Just another form of animal abuse. *It's hideous*
lol the dog don't care, look at how happy they are while they are getting groomed. If they didn't like it, they'd let her know right away.
Sugar Xyler dances in the moonlight it’s not really abuse if it’s not harming the dog. I’m pretty sure the owners are capable of knowing what’s best for their pets
Honestly, I think it's ugly, but I don't see how it hurts the dog. They don't know what's going on, and they get to lie down for parts of it. Probably really enjoy being with their owners for long stretches of time
"Controversial" ?! ... Those dogs are friggen living their life! Remember, there are maniacs doing this to kids! "Little miss this and that"
Poor puppies.. why so much colorful... not good look..
Even their faces are dyed!! This is just wrong- poor pups!
As long as the dye they use it vegetable based I see no problem. It's fur it will grow back.
I guess but I would also want the dog to be okay and not in pain
I'm glad you have no say in my dogs lives...
@@aaliyah4798 I assure you the dogs are not in pain at all. This is not something you would do to just any pet these dogs are trained for it. Its actually really fun to watch check out the documentary Well Groomed on HBO if you want to learn more.
The dog is not in pain what is more painful when someone brings in a dog that has not Been groomed in months is matted long nails
@@JdllesTheTinman also, dogs that don't have the personality to enjoy being groomed don't get time consuming haircut like this. These are just the dogs that find the process relaxing.
You can get mad about this but the truth is these dogs are not being harmed. This is simply dog owners taking their thoughts of what they would do to their dogs while high and creating an art show out of it.
Wow I love them beautiful
These doggos don't look distressed at all. They look like they don't give a shit. And they get a lot of attention and petting just walking down the street.
It’s non-toxic dye and the dogs get lots of attention. I see nothing wrong with it.
a fellow dog owner that understands. These dogs love it, they are out and about. Not only that but look how fit each of these dogs are. They are well taken care of.
“It boosts the confidence of the dog”?! I doubt very much being turned into Beetlejuice or a unicorn creates confidence in a dog. 🙄
I wonder how they know their dogs "ask for it" or "boosts the confidence"....I guess these groomers speak bark...
@@H37P5kY57 they probably get excited when it's time to groom. It's pretty easy to tell what a dog is feeling after owning one for a while.
@@H37P5kY57 I truly hope you don't have children or dogs. I honestly don't understand how you make it in life only being able to understand verbal communication.
@@JdllesTheTinman am I supposed to care what you think? And sorry I somehow offended you. 🤣😂 life must be difficult for you being so sensitive. Didn't realize critical thinking skills could offend. Guess I am glad that I did get private education. #sorrynotsorry
@@H37P5kY57 I think it's funny that you think I'm mad. I know what you are doing I'm just pointing it out to others, that might actually fall for your troll B.S.
This is so cool. No harm done, no problem.
Do you? Dogs can't see the shapes, colors or designs on it. As far as the dog knows its getting human attention and contact.
Ash Settle the dye or cuts are not physically harming the dog
So why does it matter they could care less they don’t seem to be in any distress
@Ash Settle
What law is this again, dumbass??
@Ash Settle Lol! Me an Emo girl? Ok, I'll take it.
$2500? Should be $25,000 for all that work.
Effing ridiculous.
I don't understand why people haven't figured this out yet but I guess I will spell it out. Competition is different then real life everything is bigger and more extreme. If you were to watch a regular grooming competition most dogs wouldn't put up with that as well. These dogs are trained from a young age that grooming is a fun relaxing experience. These competitions are where groomers show off new techniques, styles, skills, and products. Think like a fashion show no one actually wears any of that, it shows what is possible. A very small amount of these dogs lives are spent competing, and the rest of the time they are just "normal dog" albeit with a bit more color. All products used are pet formulated and 100% safe. This type of grooming has been around since the 60's if they were looking for attention they would have it by now. So take this info into account while you try to act like a expert on something you had never heard of before today.
Check out the documentary Well Groomed on HBO if you would like to find out more about creative grooming.
I laugh at these comments! The dye is not hurting the dogs! And all those dogs looked pretty happy! All of you haters probably leave your dog in the back yard and think that is okay!
i think that too.
The dyes are safe 🙄 it’s just veggies and shit
🙃 we’ve been putting dye on animals for centuries
Shelbie Jackson we have? And how do you know all of these creators are using non-toxic dyes? That would be my concern.
Seriously Lol because it’s illegal to use toxic dyes at comps.....hell most use kool aid
Ash Settle y’all are soft
Honestly if you are gonna cry over this are you gonna go after all the movies with dyed poodles? Be mad at the ear paints on ear horses in native holidays
We get our hair done and styled all the time.. i don't see the problem with it..
Not a direct comparison
@@waitwhat6882 only because our products are more damaging than those meant for dogs. Otherwise, it's pretty much the same. Dogs don't have an opinion about how they look. They just don't care. But they do love the attention they get during the grooming process and afterwards from everyone they meet.
Leave the dogs alone
D R they aren’t being harmed and they don’t look upset
DR, get a life ..LOSER.....
All the controversy around creative grooming is so sad! I think it's great! My dog has a pink tail and feet and is loving all the attention she's getting from it! It's really helping to socialize her better!
Not to mention, I've seen pictures of pitbulls with color added to their fur and they get so much more positive attention from it! You can't be afraid of a well behaved dog with rainbow paw prints all over him, regardless of the breed! We need that for those breeds!
These groomers are unbelievably talented! Keep up the great work!
Bruh I don’t wanna be chased by a gay toddler eater 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
They’re using their dogs as canvas 😳😳
I don’t agree with this practice I feel bad for the animals
They love the attention they're getting from the groomer as well as the attention they get from strangers day to day. There are plenty of dogs who don't like it, and those are the dogs that never get groomed like this because they either don't like the grooming process enough, or they don't like that much attention from strangers. All the dogs used for these competition enjoy it. If they didn't, they would protest or even bite, not fall asleep.
Its harmless. What is bad is when you have an owner with a severely matted dog and they persist on a long hair cut. So you dematt the dog because the owner refuses to cut him short so the dog is tortured. Dog dye is safe and 100% harmless. The dog feels no pain and at the end of the day is as happy as can be because of all the attention it gets.
They are not abuse dog.
What’s the controversy on this?
These dogs are pamper than me. I’m a human.
So go and pamper yourself
Becia becia we can go pamper together. That’ll be my treat with you. Good people do great things with each other. Let bring positivity in 2020. Love your dog!
People can use their own body to express their artistic talents, but not on animals' bodies.
It's not like they're piercing or tattooing them, it's just a form of grooming. These breeds have to be groomed for their own health anyways, why not have fun with it?
I’m okay with people dying their own hair but essentially spray painting their dog? I don’t know... the dog can’t say yes or no so how do you know if they’re even okay with it
You would not be able to get the level of detail they get, if the dog was unwilling. Listening to some of these people you wouldn't believe that you can infact tell when a dog dosen't like somthing!?!!??
Dogs can't see color lol
Trust me dog can say yes or no.
If they say no they will wiggle and might bite you.
I not a groomer but my aunt is and I've seen dogs say no.
Are they sure they wanted a dog or a puppet they just color...?
Z
Yiu
How does this dog "ask for it"? Last I checked, dogs don't talk therefore can't consent...being it's vegetable based doesn't mean there aren't any toxins.
Can you tell when a dog dosen't like somthing? These groomers work with dogs every day that don't like to be groomed, you think they can't tell the difference? If the dog wasn't trained and willing they would get no detail and lose. Nope, but the fact that its non toxic and has no toxins does?
@@JdllesTheTinman damn, you a troll...are you next going to find anything I ever posted and make a comment there? Well sorry girl, imma have to block you and plus now I'm done with the fun and back to being productive..#givesmethecreeps #stalker
@@H37P5kY57 awww, I'm so sorry if I hurt your feelings by contradicting your "ideas". I know you feel very strongly about this subject since you are most knowledgeable. If you would like to have a rational discussion about it I invite you to present somthing that shows that I don't know what I'm talking about. Should be easy since I believe everything I read, right? Or just block me, why would anyone feel the need to defend their ideas anyway?
@@JdllesTheTinman I'm dying my dogs hair lol
It's called body language
I can't imagine all that dye is really healthy for a dog...let alone all the grooming (heat from a dryer), shampoos, etc. probably isn't best.
Actually the products are all pet safe and grooming sessions are broken down into standard grooming increments.
@@JdllesTheTinman 🤣😂 lemme guess you're now a pet whisperer and apparently you do read everything and believe everything. Sheep much? You hope I dont have kids or dogs...I guess the feeling is mutual. You probably would tell me you know exactly what my plants need now too.
These breeds need to be groomed anyway. If they didn't get groomed they would end up with skin conditions and matted fur which is very painful for them. They dye is perfectly safe and doesn't harm them at all. And the shampoos are very mild too. Especially if they're using really high quality brands, which they probably are (though I don't know for a fact.)
The dogs look healthy their fur looks healthy the dye is not toxic the groomer literally put some on he tounge
People!
???
The dogs can't consent
They can. They may nay not talk but as a dog groomer I can tell you when a dog does not like grooming they will let you know. They can be very wriggly or bite.
@@charliestan8208 So true! Every groomer knows that just from giving poodles clean face and feet. When they're done *they're* *done* ! 😂
Dogs will absolutely let you know when they don't like what you're doing to them. And you don't want to push them, because you can't pressure a dog into letting you, like you can with some people. If those dogs didn't like it, they'd bite or at least be squirmy! They would certainly not be falling asleep. As far as the dog is concerned, it's just like regular grooming, which they also can't give consent to the way people can, but it's bad for their health if they don't get groomed.
Amazing!!! And the dogs do love it i have seen a competition the dogs are so happy. Dogs, if shown early will live grooming. Dogs that dont like regular groomings are not being taught early on that its ok. Color is just color the dog has no idea it has blue ears or a panda on its butt.
Alli's All About the Dog really? Did they tell you that? Come on. Just because they don’t bite their owner doesn’t mean they “love” sitting there for hours on end. They’re not freaking Barbie dolls! You have no idea if they love it or not.
@@waitwhat6882 yes they certainly did.
This should be outlawed.
Ruben Strating if it isn’t harming the dog then it’s not illegal. You people need to calm down. It’s their dogs not yours
The things our best friends go through to please us.
Poor dogs😭
2:30 - The dog is literally sitting there trembling and licking it self uncomfortably. Who are they trying to convince that dogs 'like' the results / process.
If I were a dog I'd prefer to chase a ball. Outdoors. Not stuck on some groomer's table for god knows how long.
Because the dog is wet and the hair dye is vegetable based pay attention my guy
In my opinion it's cool, but abusive!
Anna Banana how is it abusive? I seriously don’t understand why people keep saying that when the dogs don’t even looked bothered by it
Abusive in what way?...bcuz they get more attention from ppl than you ever will?........
The dogs aren’t in any harm, if they bite or squirm, then they don’t like it.
These dogs live a better life than most of us. Stop crying people.
Abusive
Ally235G o feel like the whole comment section is just a bunch of Karens. It’s not abusive
This is what hell looks like
This reminds me of Furfrou from Pokémon X and Y
I’m a dog groomer and I’m not a fan of this sort of ‘creative grooming’. Yes the dogs get ‘used’ to it in terms of the hours it takes to get them show ready, usually they are trained from puppyhood and they are used to being handled and standing still. I just don’t see the appeal. Let dogs be dogs. Look after their specific needs in terms of regular grooming and step away from the hair dye.
They don't get groomed any more for this than for dog shows. I actually know some show dogs and they like the attention they get from the grooming process. It's just like leash training a dog, if you don't start until they're adults and then only walk them once every 1 to 6 months, they won't like it. But if they get brushed (and maybe dyed) every day, just like being walked every day, it becomes a bonding experience for you and your dog. And the attention they get from strangers helps to socialize them, hence the confidence boost.
I would love to see a Live dog grooming Competetion
There are grooming conventions/competitions in most major cities all over the country. Sunday is usually the creative competition. You can find a list of events at www.barkleigh.com/shows/ there are others but these are some of the bigger shows. If you would like to see more check out the documentary Well Groomed on HBO.
I couldnt imagine doing this to my dogs, it looks just awful lol
These dogs are forced to stand hours on end just so they can be dyed, it’s wrong.
The dog was laying down, falling asleep. Dogs won't stand longer than they want to. And, even if the groomer didn't care about the dogs comfort (most, if not all, do care) you still wouldn't want to push them past their limit because the squirming and sitting down suddenly would ruin your design, slow you down (they only have a certain amount of time in the competitions), and probably get them disqualified for being too hard on the dog. In regular grooming competitions (I don't know about creative competitions) they actually give one groomer a "Kindness Award" for whoever goes above and beyond for their dogs comfort. The treatment of the dog is something they are actually judged on officially.
It a DOG not art!!!
I see nothing wrong with it I agree it's extreme but the dogs look healthy & happy & when people say how can you tell you can just by looking at them I have a certain type of breed & they need to be brushed daily & my dog enjoys it I take 4 to 5 hours grooming her my 2nd dog is a pit he wants me to groom him as well even tho there is no point but I still do cuz he loves being pampered just like my other dog. I have 2 other pets that run up to me to be groomed I feel like if you keep your pets clean they with like it & just get used to it and expect it just like they expect quality food when you try changing it for regular dog food
How long does the poor dog have to stand there?? Cruel.
The longest creative grooming competitions are 2.5hrs long with a break in the middle. Pet dog grooming sessions are 1 to 2hrs long because the the dog was not brought up with a healthy grooming routine. So the pet is stressed and fighting getting a fraction of the work done for about the same time. Where a creative is calm relaxed and gets a break. So you tell me what is more cruel?
Im trying to learn why every one is saying "Stop Grooming" its being said in comment s with no context. Now I am even more confused.
To be honest I have since Halloween of 2018 when I saw the pet costume parade wondered "Is hair dye safe for pets?" and "Does a dog really want to be dressed up as any number of Star Wars characters? Why do we do this to our pets?
but if dogs love being dressed up the Pokémon Cosplays do look adorable.
personal experience, my Dog hated hats. We could never get her to keep a hat on for more then 10 seconds.
come to thin k of it, people do this too
"its all humane" yeah bull crap i dont think dogs want their bodies dyed just so their owners get to show them off to win a prize
yorgee smorgee ya I bet people need to groom there dogs on a regular basis not come in with a matted dog which is way worse than this.
If the products are safe, this is just grooming with extra style. A flea bath is more dangerous.
This is NOT OKAY
Wtf is wrong with these people??
Do this shit to your child not ur pet
The process is too long and not healthy for dogs to stand for hours on end. They get dehydrated for sure and I doubt they are given breaks to run free to roll in the grass or lay down and sleep. So for that reason alone I don't think it's a good thing. Plus if the dog messes up the design I would cear them getting disciplined for it. I don't see a person hell bent on gaining so much self gratification that if the dog destroys the design that person will react without negative emotions. Even if the dog isn't physically disciplined dogs just a verbal discipline is too much to top off their end of the deal of standing and going through the whole process of endless hours of grooming. Too much for a dog to endure just for a person's ego. The coloring doesn't really bother me because it's vegetable dye and dogs are basically color blind. The see in monochromatic shades of grays, blacks, and browns. So there is no harm in that it's just the process is too strenuous. Forcing dogs too be immovable for hours is just as damaging as running a dog too exhaustion. Too much just to get a cheaply made trophy and a measly $2500. I'd rather sit on the couch holding my big Pit's head in my lap as he snores away. Much more satisfying.
You paid attention to the prize amount but not the grooming time? It doesn't go for endless hours she said 1 to 2 hours which is standard grooming times, most stick to 1hr but she gets away with more because Ditto just lays down and sleeps while she works. If you had ever actually watched a competition you would realize the creative competition is much more laid back then breed specific competitions. Creative is subjective as art is it dose not have to be perfect. You are assuming alot and getting it wrong the majority of the time. They don't do it for the money they do it because they love it, it's a passion and an art. They spend much more then they make. But it's a great way to learn, grow, and test your techniques vs others in the industry. I implore you to actually look this stuff up and not just guess or make assumptions because people that don't know anything might assume you do and take it as facts.
Kimberley, as someone who's competed in these comps I can tell you your assumptions are wrong. The dogs don't stand for hours on end. Dying is done prior to the comp and done in stages.
My poodle I used to show would fall asleep during the dying process, it was so therapeutic to her, massaging dye into her coat. It was very relaxing for both of us.
The comp usually lasts for 1-2hrs which is standard grooming time for any pet dog. Dyes are non toxic, edible, and completely safe. Please remember these dogs are owned by groomers, they are used to handling and the grooming process, there's nothing distressing about the process to these dogs. The last thing a comp groomer wants is to cause stress to their comp dog, you want them calm and still so you can work on them. I've never in 15 years seen a stressed or upset comp dog.
I think minor designs like the Pegasus are nice but when you put faces on them its just freaky! But I agree the dogs don’t care! Long as they’re used to it they don’t mind
How does this have 73 views but only 4 (now 5) likes?!
Because it’s ridiculous.
These people are Karen’s and are clearly not educated. The dogs aren’t harmed, the dye isn’t harmful, the dogs DO have consent, and the dogs AREN’T upset about it.
5:18 What kind of deductive reasoning happened there?
The fact that some dogs are really shy until they get a cute haircut/color that gets them more attention. Then they come out of their shell and prance around like they're king/queen of the world. We've had dog that were very anxious when they first came to our shop, and then walked out with all the conference in the world and were excited when they got dropped off for their next appointment. It's the most amazing thing to see and brightens everyone's day at work. 😍
I love it 😍 🐩
That’s not works of art that’s a ugly mess why are you doing that to a poor dog I mean come on
politics of dog grooming
Seeing that this is just wrong,I feel bad,but people find this entertaining which is stupid but it's TRUE they have nothing else to do in their life but this can't blame them?
Thats fucking disgusting
Look at this 6:26
Awful! Poor dogs... they dont deserve that
These people trippin, while there are homeless animals out there who don't even have food to eat or a home to live in your worried about these super over pampered ass dogs who probably eat better than you!
Die armen Hunde. Sie schämen sich auch..
It is a dog treat the animal like a dog..give that $$$ to animal rescue sad so 😭😭😭
Furfou in a nutshell
art my ass
this days anyone calls himself an artist.
where is their sistine chapel?
I don't think anything is toxic for the dog..it just seems to me that it has nothing to actually do with the dog. I don't mind if owners want to dye some of the hair on a dog's tail or ears, but making a dog endure that long & constant of a procedure is too much. It's all about the groomer showing off and zero to do with the dog & their personality, happiness, or wants.
I wouldn't post hate to the groomers though.
It's all broken down into short grooming session. In fact, the reason they can pre-dye and do basic shaping beforehand is because they have such a short amount of time during the competition. The competitions don't last any longer than a regular grooming session for a pet dog getting a normal haircut. And, in addition, these dogs are used to it, so it's not as stressful for them as it is for most pets. If the grooming sessions took to long the dogs would keep sitting and squirming and the groomer wouldn't be able to get all the detail they need, so they definitely give the dogs a rest. 😊
@@kaitlyne1870 My Aunt owns a grooming business & I spent years learning all the different cuts for a standard poodle.. some can take awhile with the hand scissoring.. when I think about it doing all those patterns aren't really any different than dying their hair.
I truly have no harsh feelings about those who want to do it. I guess it just has me wondering how much we do TO our dogs for vanity and how much is FOR our dogs.. I guess it really doesn't matter. If the dog is healthy and happy that is all that matters. :)
@@LaPetiteBoulin certainly some of it is done for vanity, I mean, if it was *just* for the dogs, they'd just get shave Downs in various lengths lol. So, I see what you mean. I wasn't trying to be harsh or critical with my comment (I apologize if it came off that way), I was just clearing up the matter of how long it takes because I wasn't sure if you were familiar with grooming. 😊
Although, even the things we do for our own vanity can benefit the dogs as long as we take their comfort and, of course health, into account. I have a Chinese Crested Dog who just got her feet and tail colored pink and it's really helping to get her socialized because people just love how cute and unique she looks. So, even though it's certainly for my vanity (I'm mature enough to admit that. 😂) It's really helping her come out of her shell and become a much more confident dog.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend (what's left of it, at least). ❤️
@@kaitlyne1870 No, you wasn't!! I thought I came off harsh. Lol. I totally understood what you was saying.. I dont know why I had a strange reaction to this really. I just didnt want you to think I was in any camp that wants to pitch fork people over it. Lol.
It was nice chatting with you!
@@LaPetiteBoulin no worries. It was nice talking to you as well. 😊
Got to hate dogs and their owners. They hate me and I hate them. I almost get bit every week. You show them a knife. They know. Where's some Chinese cooks when you need them?
Sorry dog abuse
The unicorn was my fav ❤ 🦄
My dog sleep through his coloring ❤ he loooves and knows he looks fancy. My youtube subs are fans of Brinkley 😂
