10:54 I like that Pheonix isnY't the perfect bichon model. My bichon doesn't want to hold still either. I learned a lot of trouble shooting ideas. Thank you for the window into the world of amateur groomers, although you are far from amateur. I also watched part 1. Great explanations of tools and also steps to more easily cut its hair. Your attention to detail helps me understand how to better groom my bichon. 😊

Very detailed when explaining tools and rationale of use, including step by step prep, wash, dry, prepping 4 final cut. Thanks for sharing ❤

Love the video, it is well done and gave me new ideas on approaches to take with scissoring tail and neck area. I also liked that your pup, like mine, is a little squirmer. My older pup is more compliant but my younger one is more of a challenge he seems to like to dance around on the table. I will be grooming him today so hopefully I will be less frustrated when he starts to dance. Thanks for the video and your time and effort to show us how grooming can be done.

Thank you for your kind words! It seems like the little ones in the family is always the less compliant one lol. But don't worry, if you give out a positive calm energy wihile grooming, I'm sure your little one will feel it and comply :D We would love to see the result and good luck with grooming!

At first love the video and sorry which do you use to cut around the area that’s under

[@bichondads1811]

you mean under the belly? Nowadays I use the clipper with a 3mm guard.

[@user-fu3wx8mp1s]

Using tap water for their drinking steins them like that, by using rain water or bottled water stops it happening
