- IS THERE A DIFFERENCE?!? DOG grooming clipper blades and comb attachments-what is the difference? How to properly use them? How to groom your dog like a professional! I put a demo together for you to demonstrate using snap on combs. I’ll be trimming a large Labradoodle named Diesel. How to use DOG GROOMING CLIPPER BLADES and COMB ATTACHMENTS on a LARGE DOODLE!
I want to make sure you understand you cannot use snap on combs to give your dog a hair cut if you have not properly prepared your dogs coat for trimming. This demo will show you exactly how to do that my friends!
Clipper comb attachments cannot stand up to clipper blades when it comes to trimming dog breeds with thicker coats such as Cocker Spaniels, Poodles, Doodles and a lot of our favorite mixed breed dogs.
If your dog has a matted coat or an abundance of dead coat your will find using snap on comb attachments is not an option. They will not get through the coat and will snag and get caught in the tangles. Which leaves you only two options…To use a clipper blade that is short enough to get between the skin and the mats or De-mat your dogs coat prior to attempting to clip it.
De-matting is not something most novice groomers are capable of achieving successfully…. as this method takes years of practice and know how to safely accomplish a perfectly prepared coat for clipping.
It is not easy to groom your dogs hair without proper training. In fact, most people don’t even have the proper tools, let alone understanding how to use them correctly. Any tools you can use to make it easier to give your dog a good looking hair cut is something of value to you and your pet.
The only downside to grooming with snap on combs, is that they may not leave the coat as long as you’d like it to be. The largest size guard combs in the wahl set is a 1 inch. IF you desire longer length of coat than that, you will have to learn to freehand cut…which is hand scissor trimming.
The clipping technique is the same when using a blade or a guard comb. Blades leave a smoother finish where guard combs leave a little texture to the hair. In this video, we start with dog grooming for beginners.

Beinging a senior on disability will a very low income I am grooming my fur family myself...God Bless You! I am crying because not very many people share their knowledge of expertise. I really like the products that you share. They are very affordable. I may only be able to buy 1 a month, but I can. Thank you very much mam!
This is wonderful 💕
Hi from Sydney. I am disabled and I am so thankful for show. It is allowing me to be closer to my cavoodle.
Great information, however it probably would've been more informative if instead of only telling watchers what the number of the comb is, e.g. #2 comb, that you also inform the watcher as to what the length the comb is supposed to cut which in this case is 3/8 inch.
Most people cannot relate to #2 in their minds and have no perspective what that means. If you say the comb, or yields approximately 3/8 inch length then everyone (at least here in the U.S and England) can relate to that.
I now have a set of the same combs and so when you say a '#2 comb' I can relate whereas when I watched this video a couple days ago I didn't have a clue because Amazon had not yet delivered my combs yet.😀
I am becoming a dog groomer and I can’t tell you how instrumental your videos have been for me!! And he is such a good boy.
wonderful! glad to help:)
I have learned so much from your videos on just how to care for my doodle's coat between grooms (he still goes in for grooming)-- thank you for such clear instructions on brushing, bathing, just the whole grooming process. Your videos/instructions/content are VERY MUCH appreciated!!!
My pleasure 😊
Diesel is the goodest of boys. He's so patient.
This really give me a perspective on all that my Bernedoodles groomer does. I will gladly pay her and tip her well every time!!
I am hoping to be able to groom my two cavapoos at home though so thanks for the great tips!!
Glad it was helpful!💖
Our rescue Pom has a tracheal issue as a result of a negative grooming experience that left him so stressed that he ended up at the hospital. We’re going to try it on our own now thanks to your generous lessons. Fingers crossed!
You are the best. Thank you so much for sharing all this techniques to all of us
My pleasure 😊
Omg, I watched this tonight and can easily tell you I have never gotten so much information in one video. I've done plenty of grooming over the years and you gave me some pretty key things here. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!
Awesome!!! I am so happy this video was helpful🙏
@@GoGroomer no need to tell you, but I will binge watch you now! Haha
@@GoGroomer can I ask you a quick question? Would you use a 7 or 10 blade on a pregnant dogs belly around her teets?
@@coviedogs 10, it will not catch skin in those loose skin areas:)
@@GoGroomer You Rock! Thank you
Wow! Such a helpful video. Lots of detail! Thank you
This video is fantastic!! You’re the best!
Thank you. It took me ages to find a site that shows you how to put he cover guard on. No instructions for that in the instruction book. Manufacturers obviously think people know this info automatically. I wanted a good clipper to groom my own dog. Wahl km 2 was my choice.
This was such an eye opening lesson in dog grooming! I loved grooming my dogs today, two little schnauzer rescue mutts, because I used the right length blade after watching your videos. I’m so much more confident now. Many thanks for sharing so much knowledge. I can do this now with confidence and my dogs will never again spend 7 hours at a groomer. Now to learn how to do their nails correctly.
What a sweet boy! Excellent video, thank you so much!
I started trimming my Shih Tzu like 7 years ago and finally just found your videos ! You have answered all my questions! Thank you so very much!❤ I am still learning!
Happy to help!
Thanks for this video Amy! Learning lots of useful information 🐶
Glad it was helpful!
As always, I have learnt so much from watching your videos. You're amazing. Thank you! 🐶💕
He is such a well-behaved boy! Thank you for this video! You are amazing.
My pleasure. 🙌
Great video! Thanks for all the tips
This is the best labradoodle grooming tutorial I've seen. I'd SO MUCH rather pay someone to do this for me but I can't find a groomer available since the pandemic. I found 1 for about a year but he decided to do dog shows or something so ..... I can't find a reputable groomer. So in the meantime I have to figure this out. SO TIME CONSUMING.
Amy enjoyed your video, u did a gorgeous job on him. Have a great evening ❤️
Thank you Trish! You too!
What a cool puppy diesel is. I have a Rottiepoo and she is just now letting me groom her. She has a hard head but I wouldn’t want her any other way.
Thank you thank you thank you! Simple, easy to understand instructions! ❤️
glad to help❤️
He is a big boy, nice healthy looking coat.
Thank u for sharing this info. It is really so important.
You have done a smashing job.He looks gorgeous.
Thank you 😊
He is beautiful! Thank you for all the tips!
You are so welcome!
He is such a good boy and very handsome.
You are a kind soul
This sure answers many questions. Thank you Amy ❤️❤️
Fantastic 😊
thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!!
My pleasure 💕
Oh....Amy you are ABSOLUTELY THE BEST and I have learned so much from you...THANK YOU for sharing your secrets!!
You are so welcome!
Diesel is so stinking cute and I love his spotted tongue!
I've been grooming my brt using your great instructions. I tierd using a diy grooming place as well as purchased the table, blades, brushes and force drier. I also have videos from my breeder on how to set the tuxedo. How do I give you kuddos? Is there a place I can send some photos to show everyone how well it turned out with your guidance?
Thank You, excellent tutorial. So are going to attempt to do our Airedale. He has health issues and can't go through the rigors of grooming any more. This is very helpful.
I can groom any dog safely, but I’m not sure what the grooming needs of your dog are at this point in it’s life. 💖
Not all groomers are amyleigh are they!
such a good boy 😭💖
Great info, thank you! does using the clippers before bathing cause dulling of the blade?
You are amazing! Thank you for your outstanding content... Can you demonstrate a full Continental Cut on a Poodle?
I have a Wahl Max Coat, Clipper and I need to get a set of clip on guards for it but not sure which one will fit. I also wanted to find out about blades and what size to get for 1/2" length cut and 3/4" length cut. I want to use guards with both.
Thanks
I love your videos. What is that attachment that you have on your clippers and where can I get it. Thanks!
I just started watching your videos.they have been a big help. Thank you
I was wondering if you could answer a question. I have a Australian Sheppard with a crazy thick coat. What a5 type blade couuld I use to get through that coat?
Thank u for saying you can clip first before bath, if needed with longer coat.
If the dogs are on a 6 week schedule, no need to pre clip.
love your videos! could you make one about trimming ears?
I got you covered:) here ya go!
th-cam.com/video/ERyRXuWM-Fk/w-d-xo.html
I've watched quite a few of your videos, you are so thorough and careful to explain this in a way a novice can understand.
One question I have about this video - Can I use my Andis 2 speed Clipper with a10 blade to trim my cockapoo's feet?
Yes😃
Love your videos. Can you tell me please why dogs are always groomed after a bath? I would have thought it was quicker to dry them if the had been cut. I know there must be a reason but would love to know what it is 😘
I am so happy I found your videos. You are a great teacher. I am still having trouble with the combs getting clogged. I prep like crazy with my Australian Labradoodle who's hair is super fine and soft. I have the Chris Christensen slicker brush, but I don't get much dead hair out. Is there another magic brush that will help me prepare her coat? Any suggestions would be so appreciated.
The secret is in the conditioning stage when your dog is in the tub. This video is priceless and will help you tremendously:)
th-cam.com/video/IkL8ouluf30/w-d-xo.html
I love your videos! You are awesome! I have a a question, in some videos you use a 10 blade under a snap on comb. But in some other videos in the past you suggested using a 30 blade under the snap on comb. Just wondering which is best to use and why?
They both perform the same under guard combs. It’s your choice:)
I found 30 gave a better finish. However, I spoke to my supplier Christie last year about the problems I was having with Wahl snap-on combs breaking, and found out that 30 blades can make the comb too loose. She suggested a 15 blade as the best combination between finish and fit. I've gone back to a 10 and not broken any more combs...yet. 😬
Precious😊
Hi, I have a labradoodle too! His coat lays flat, like a Labrador, rather than fluffy like a poodle. Would I use the clip on guides like you have on this dog or would I need to buy a longer clipping blade and use that? I have found when clipping him with a clip on guide comb that it misses the hair due to it laying so flat whereas when I clip my other dog who has a curly coat it works fine.Thank you
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for your videos! Can you tell if if a 3F blade would go through matted hair?
It will it 🥲
Gracias 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks
Hi, please could you mention the imperial or metric length when you use snap-on combs please as Wahl appear to change the colours and numbers? My number 2 Wahl comb has a purple tab, not blue, and cuts 1/4" (6mm). The Wahl comb with a blue tab is number 3 and cuts 3/8" (10mm). Thanks.
I am working on a cheat sheet to reference blades sizes, snap on comb sizes and and when to use them. I hope this will help answer a lot of questions for people:) Stay tuned...I'm working on it:)
Oh how I wish I would have seen this a week ago when I groomed my golden doodle (who looks just like Diesel!). His coat was much longer. Wish I would have done a pre-trim so that I could have gotten him fully dry with the dryer. Would you suggest keeping him close cut year round? We usually let him grow long in winter, but he is always hot. We live in Seattle, so we don’t get super cold weather. My combs are all numbered, and I don’t have an A size. What length is that?
The A comb is 3/4" cut.
Beautiful job ! How long does it take you start to finish?
3 hours with Diesel:)
I looked in the description for the clipper table but it wasn't here. So buying without your link! If you give me your link, I'll click on it and buy it from your store.
Amy, I have a black miniature poodle, would it be ok to groom Toby's entire body with the Kenchii clippers or are they just for the finish work like between toes and pads, etc. I've thought about purchasing a set and attempting it bcoz watching you groom for a while now, I believe I could do it and if I mess him up, that's fine too, it'll just grow back, lol 😆. Diesel is a Professional customer and you did an amazing job!!! 👏 Jay.
Yes you can but you must purchase the separate 7, 5, or 4 blade for the flash clipper. Otherwise, it’s too short:)
So great watching your videos. I am not a professional but have invested in good tools, shampoos, and conditioners, but I don't have a grooming table. In this video you have said a grooming table is a must, are there alternatives? It's a big investment of money and space for the amount of use it will get (every 6-8 weeks). Thanks for sharing your knowledge so generously!!!
If you are handy, you can make one custom size fro you AND your dog 😊
Don’t forget, there are adequate portable tables that store very easily.
I'm confused now. In another video, I thought you said the higher the # the shorter the cut. The problem I seem to have is, I have an Andis clipper. I am a beginner I trim my morkie in between cuts. I don't want him too short on his body. I put a #3 comb on ,but he's still looking uneven even though I bathe him first. Should I go against the growth? Other than that he comes out good.
Clip in the direction the coat naturally falls. Go over the coat several times to produce a smooth finish. I have videos that will help.
Do the clippers actually touch their skin or just go through the fur?
What length would you use in the face for a poodle look?
Help! I have the km10 as well and I find the blade gets gummed up with fur so quickly on my doodle. I oiled probably 5 times or more in one session. I don't think that's normal. Do you know why this is happening?
There is small knots in the coat. Brush the dog out properly after bathing and drying well. Then cut. It you cant get a comb through then the guard will not go through without gumming up.
Where do I get other blades for my KM10 not just the 5? Thank You to anyone who has that answer.. Thank You
When you use a clipper with a comb attachment backwards does it cut shorter than the comb guard or the same length as the comb guard?
Because reverse lifts the hair then cuts it is more precise if a cut. Going with the lay of the coat is recommended for wavy or soft coated dogs. Forgiving
Hi, I bought a 30 blade that is an Andis. I have the Andis Clipper also. I cannot get the 30 blade on my Clipper. Can you show how to get the blade on the Clipper. I have no problems with other blades. I have tried everything! Thank your , Carol
I have videos showing that.
I have a Wahl KM2 clipper but my number 2 comb is a purple colour my blue one is a number 3. However my number 2 comb when I clip it on is making a terrible noise? & the clipper blades are moving out of alignment when switched on. It only does it with this comb? Could it be bent? I have a Labradoodle & a Groodle which I believe you call a goldendoodle in the US I'm in Australia maybe that's why my combs are different colours to yours. Should I just buy a new number 2 comb? Also I'm thinking of purchasing a 3F blade. Is this a good choice? Thankyou
Are you using it over a number 10 blade? Sometimes the teeth on the attachment combs become bent if they’re dropped and you have to gently bend them back into place. They may be hitting against the clipper blade when the blade is moving or your clipper blade is out of alignment.
Do all groomers cut the dog’s whiskers?
Where can I purchase the vacuumed attachment you have on your wall MK10? Please reply

I am so new to grooming. I'm using a man's shaver with various combs on my dog. There's so many shavers. Which one would be best for me to start with.
You definitely need a clipper made for a dogs skin and coat. This one is nice with the optional 7,5, and 4 blades:)
th-cam.com/video/bV_qvT5GbFs/w-d-xo.html
@@GoGroomer will this one work on everything?. Does it require oil?. Please excuse my many questions. Will I need to get another one?. How will I know which guard to use?. Oh and my dog that I need this on is a morkie. Thank you thank you "GO GROOMER " for your help.
@@colleenrivera4234, I recommend doing more research. I would go through and watch Amy's videos. She has videos to answer all your questions. She even has a video about clippers. Never use human clippers on a dog!
Yes I'm ordering a new clipper next week. Meanwhile my dog looks like a shaggy sheep dog.
@@colleenrivera4234, that's ok! As long as you're keeping the skin, and coat healthy in the meantime. Brushing, bathing, Brushing, drying, and more Brushing;) 🤣
What vacuum system are you using that is attached to your clipper?
Hanvey hair vac system
does anyone know how or where to get metal guards or indiv blades for an andis cta 1?
My trimmers all work great only if the combs are not attached. Please help
Both fur babies have always had shorter hair, regular trimming. Thanks
I don’t know what problem you are experiencing. Maybe you are not applying enough pressure to roll the coat in front of the clipper?
Clipper speed???? Please.
Presciso ouvir em português ok
What’s the name of the dog bath? It’s nice
Prima bathing system.
Where’s the link to where you buy the wahl blades?
In the video description.
What setting is your clipper at when you use attachment combs?
10,15, or 30 are the only blades you can use under a guard comb.
(sorry
@@GoGroomer
I'm still confused. My clipper has two settings -1.2 and 1.6mm (I'm sorry, I don't know how they translate into your blade #s). When I use a comb attachment, which of the two settings should I use?
Hi can you pls share the name of vacuum attachment ,thanks
Hanvey hair vac system
Does the wahl clippers come with a blade?
Yes, #10
@Go Groomer thanks for the reply. In your opinion, is just the 10 blade along with a clipper comb set enough at home grooming of a well brushed maltese? I want to keep him short, but his fur grows so fast..
@@madeleine363 yes it is😊
I am going to get them!
I'm in Canada, and a groomer recently told me that shorter fur on a drop coat dog is actually less cold for them than if they had their fur long. Is this true? 🤔 I've not had a dog before and sources online arent helpful. Online just says things like you should never bring a maltese outside when it's very cold anyway.
Why do my km10 blade keep getting so hot
Watch my live stream on TH-cam yesterday. You will learn more than that!
$999. wow cant afford the harvy system, what is a decently affordable clipper vac system for the home groomer of 1 cockapoo
How are your hands not dryyyy, cracking and in pain with all the bare hand washing that you do?
As a groomer myself, we do get horribly dry skin with bathing so much and using soap. We get what’s called “bather’s rash”, but after a while your skin gets used to it. Myself and my team like to use O’keefs working hands balm. Life saver. What’s worse is when you get hair splinters lol.
@@ashleygrayson4844 hair splinters definitely the worst.
boy he is a big boy gus looks small walking by compared to him
Haha, I know! Diesel makes Gus look like a baby doodle😂
If he's a labradoodle, then why are you saying hes a golden doodle on his head trimming video ???
we see you keeping it a buck too
This lady repeats herself numerous times.
Thank you for the blade/ clip guard demo!!
I’ve been having a really hard time the last couple of times I I’ve groomed my standard poodles.
For example- tonight paid for professional bath conditioner n blow out so I could do the rest at home.
Wahl sent me new blades since last time I groomed them I had the same problem. The blade & guard worked great first round then I wanted to go a bit shorter so got a dif. Clip guard- made it half way through and then it started pulling the hair vs cutting it.
It was a brand new blade- in fact I used two fresh out of the packaging new blades, cleaned out, oiled and it just wouldn’t cut anymore and felt like it was pulling it not cutting.
Of course it was after hours! Resorted to finishing her off with scissors and left the other one for tomorrow- how???? I don’t know.
Please help. 😢🫠🙃😟😔😣🤯🤯
Ps I am very grateful for you & your videos! I’ve learned a lot from you and enjoy doing a pretty great job on my pups even though I’m not a pro.
