How do I see part two? Nice job. What a cool dog. Felt so sorry for her. But I’m feeling better now.
@@johnsellers9623 no there isn’t a pert 2 sorry!
Thanks for your reply. I’m trying to do my dog myself. On my second standard poodle and this puppy is not helping me at all. The clippers I brought aren’t cutting. The wahl pro series. I of all things skimped on the clippers I guess. I cleaned his ears and face first and while doing feet I either dulled the clippers or I’m not pushing in deep enough. But afraid to cut him. These stinking clippers don’t tell you anything about the blade size. But you did a beautiful job with Sky there. Grooming definitely isn’t as easy as you make it look. How good that dog must have felt after the groom you did. Yes, I was pretty shocked at the amount of time it went without brushing and grooming. ✌️
@@johnsellers9623 awe well thank u. Been doing this for a very long time and have hundreds of dollars invested in equipment. Best wishes!
Can you let use know what blade your using
@@chrissylehew5987 7f 30 10 and 5f and be careful cause the 7f with cut
What numbers on the clipper blades are you using?
There are many kinds for different spots! I know that folks come in it be for a do it yourself but I’m really trying to spread awareness about why and show different things. A lot of grooming is having the right tools and having your feel of the clippers being right and knowing things I can’t show online it’s a hands on thing. If I tried to tell everybody and they were holding so called blade wrong because they didn’t understand well you will need stitches. I do have a video on doing poodle feet and me holding the clippers and talking about some of it there.
Great video! Thank you! My doodle was groomed regularly - she was on a 5 week schedule, but we lost our groomer and they kept leading us on with a new groomer……yet no call. Our doodle’s chat got away from us and I felt awful!!!!! First, thank you for not shaming and secondly, thank you for the information. I can’t find another groomer so I bought andis clippers and I needed this video for a great how-to. My puppy’s face, neck, and tail are ok. Tomorrow, I will tackle her body.
Be careful and good luck to you. A lot of places have started not taking in Doodles and right now it’s our buzy season so keep looking! The right person will show up for you!
We have recently aquired a doodle in bad shape too .all matted up fur . Since we cant get a groomer till about 3 weeks out we are going to have to tackle this ourselves .this video helped us out a lot . Thank you for what you do 😊
Aww I wanted to see you comb8ng the body and how to shave her underneath. What kind of clippers do you have? I have a sheltie. I brush her everywhere. I'd like to shave her underneath so that she can lay on something cool. Mine is 12. I've had her 5 years. Her original mom died so she was up for a new home. I was the lucky one who got her. She has been going to a groomer originally in RI. I took her to a couple in the area bur I didn't like what they did. You must put her on her side to shave underneath? I'm glad the family stepped in to have her see you. Thank you
No I’ve done this work for a very long time so I can kinda feel where I want to shave.
What is wrong with people complaining that they dont like to hear you talking?! Unhappy people. They could learn something if they just listen. Thank you for taking good care of her.
Ha ha ha yeah well I work alone a lot so I’ll talk all I want. I appreciate your comment. Thank you
@@karenscritters-8191 I work alone as well! I'm a mobile groomer. I talk to myself I talked to the animals that's just how it goes! Thanks for sharing videos!
@@kat4animals004 thank you also I appreciate it!
Love your work I think the talking helps Poochie be comfortable 😊❤keep talking with them and us sweet and a beautiful job 😎
Thank you!
Can you share what type of trimmer and blade you used to shave her? It went so fast.
It’s Andis and I used 7f and a 10 and 30. 7f can cut dogs so be careful with it.
Wow! she look's beautiful!
Thank you
WTF
Please just do the work. Didn't need all the commitments
Turn the noise down if my voice is aweful for you or don’t watch at all. It’s amazing how critical people are of free entertainment. You can’t complain unless you donate 20.00 till then nobody cares.
If you dont have anything nice to say then why comment ? That was uncalled for
What Shaver did you use please?
Andis clippers and a few different blades

Wow! Poor dog. She endured the process though with your help. You did a beautiful job. ❤
Thank you!
What kind of clippers do you use? Mine won't go through his mats. I hurt my hand and couldn't comb him and can't find a groomer that takes big bernedoodles.
Andis is what I have
What kind of Andis clippers do you use
I'm having a hard time getting mine to work like this. I have an Andis and I can't get mine to pick up everything. They are also for curly hair. Help!!!
@@carlyjohnson5596 I don’t know what kind you have gotten or what blade you’re using? However the blades don’t always come super sharp and your clippers need new levers also from time to time. Ask around for a sharpener who works on this equipment to look it over for you and start there. I hope that helps
@@carlyjohnson5596 need to find a sharpener look over your equipment. Blades don’t always come sharp. Go take lessons from a professional also, cause with the wrong blade you can find yourself at the emergency vet!
They mat, older ppl don't have strength, ppl.work, and poodles mat!

Your content is really good..your video deserve more views but for not reach to others your video dont get more reach .For this you need proper seo to your youtube video,if you want i can help you.
Hey, this is a great video and I really enjoyed it! However, I noticed that your video views and subscribers are quite low. Have you considered optimizing your videos to attract more viewers and subscribers? If you optimize your videos correctly, you could potentially gain a lot more traction and engagement.
Yeah I’m learning and trying thank you!
Yeah I’m learning thank you
@@karenscritters-8191 sounds good, I can help you to optimize your Video SEO section.. Can we discuss about that?
First of your vids I've seen. I knew you were in Wa! Everybody knows home!! I'm guessing the peninsula? Interested in your plan! 😊
Yes I’m in Washington state! Welcome!
Hi, I saw your TH-cam channel video and understood that Very nice video. You have 506 subscribers but videos are not more watched and subscribers because your video is not SEO. I have analysed and realised that your TH-cam channel is not progressing and improving. It is responsible for: 1. Not SEO channel videos properly. 2. None of your videos have good tags. 3. There is no good tag in the channel. 4. Keywords used are not researched properly. 5. Videos are not promoted properly. 6. The description is not attractive.
Yeah I know I’ll get better thank you!
@@karenscritters-8191 Do you want to SEO your channel?
I never knew that there was so much involved in doing clean feet. I personally think that they are not pretty but that's just me 😂❤
I agreed completely thank you for watching. Merry Christmas
@@karenscritters-8191 Merry Christmas and a very prosperous New Year ❤
Hey Karen! Boy do we have a lot in common!! Lol. I was also a certified master groomer in the DFW, Texas metroplex. I also competed in grooming shows as well as conformation and obedience. You make me miss my home town, in Eugene Or. I went to high school in Beaverton Or. I think the strangest request was an owner cam in with a Maltese puppy. Her main request was shorter legs, poofy all over and short around the face. So I scissored the legs and face and evened up the body. Owner came and wanted the face even shorter. So I took the puppy back and took more coat off the face. Nope, not what she wanted. I grabbed a dog magazine to show her what a Maltese usually looks like and as I’m thumbing through to find the picture, she stops and points. “Thats what I want her to lol like!” I tried sooo hard not to laugh but told her if you want your dog to look like a Pomeranian, then she should have gotten one. I then explained the differences between the coats and such. I told her that no matter what I did or how much I tried, I could never get a Maltese pup look like a Pom. Ohhh the stories we could share!!! Lol. Oh. Also a retired horse trainer as well.
Oh hay!! I’m in Washington state! Nice to meet you! Yeah the stories are a lot and unbelievable at times! Thank you for commenting I appreciate hearing from you!
Yea. My daughter and ex is in Bellingham. Got family all over up there!!
Try to never shave a Sheltie. It is a shame this dog's care was neglected. Annie is an extreme case - nice job.
Neglect
Didn’t you listen to the first 5 minutes? Don’t judge the owners! She has had a few homes and she is being looked after now. Hopefully she will keep up after her makeover.
Would love see whole video was good
I hope u keep doing the videos on the dogs what I’m looking for
Ok. I hope to have some adventures also here soon Thank You!
I enjoy your video he’s doing good looks so much better
Are you using a guard?
What size blade is she using? And is there a comb / gaurd needed.
My doodle is matted. He will be one next month he use to let me groom him myself but as he got bigger he stopped letting me. I’ve took him to one groomer near me and they did a horrible job and all the good ones are boooooked. It’s been 3 whole months since he’s been shaved and his fur is so long brushing does absolutely nothing. His outer coat is not matted but his undercoat is terrible 😪 I feel so bad for him. I just spent a lot of money on home grooming equipment I hope he’ll let me once it all arrives
And I mean they cut my puppy’s skin in multiple spots that’s why I said a terrible job
Look around your area for a Certified Master Groomer. They can still cut your dog even so but they have some professional testing done in getting Their Masters Certification. Ask who gave them their Masters also and google the place make sure it’s not from Petsmart or Petco. Also.. You need to be very careful if someone doing this daily cut your dog it a good chance you will. It actually takes years to be super good doing it daily amd that’s with a good mentor.
yes i agree you never want to jump to conclusions but as a groomer i am an advocate for the dog first and foremost. Just like a teacher is for a student in their class. So what i do in this situation is always ask when was the last time they were groomed and get a conversation going so that i can educate the owners on how to properly take care of the dog. The dogs well being comes before feelings in my book. I will take the time to explain how horrible the dog feels when like this and how unhealthy and painful it is to be in this condition. So that this wont happen in the future.
Thank GOD this beautiful fur baby was saved and is now living her best life as she deserves, Thank You for giving her a life
I think I found her a forever home also!
@karenscritters-8191 I hope so. I have rescue dogs, one is a german shepard mixed with Siberia huskey he's solid white and huge,and the other is a Chihuahua who was found roaming our yard after a huge storm. We tried to locate her home and couldn't so we kept her! She's been the most loving affectionate dog. At first she hated the big guy Zero,but now they protect each other with their lives. If a dog growls at zero she goes in psycho mode lol and if another dog tries to come near her he puts his paw in front of her and gently moves her back. They have formed a bond that's strong. I have had people down me on Facebook saying I shouldn't have them near each other because his breed uses small animals as prey drive. I'm like tell that to them and see if u can keep them apart. ❤️
I thoroughly enjoyed watching you! You keep things light n keep it real while you educate.
Thank you! I’m about to start again so keep a eye out for a new video. I appreciate your kind words
So you started off by slamming the owners, by saying you wouldn’t slam them, lol. I recently had my groomer cancel right before I went on vacation to a remote beach where there was 0 chance of getting my labradoodle groomed. After just two days of swimming and having fun at the beach he was completely matted beyond brushing. GROOMERS ARE THE MOST FLAKEY PEOPLE ON THE PLANET! 9 TIMES OUT OF 10 GROOMERS DO WHAT IS EASIEST FOR THEM! I learned nothing from you video except that you are a typical groomer suffering from hating your job, you just take it out on the owners.
What blade number should we use to do this?
