THANK you for stating at the BEGINNING why you clipped her. Thank you for understanding that not all owners are trying to keep your pocketbook lean - that some of us do want to take care of our babies and hopefully what we do at home helps them to be less stressful for you as a groomer! The more I watch and learn, the more I appreciate the art of grooming and appreciate you as a professional!
Thank you very much for sharing. We also own Cavi and did tons of research... although they are not supposed to be shaved or cut short as they don't have 2 layers coat but only 1.... you did well. the same for feet... grinch feet is the look for this breed... you did well and I understand why you did it.. I like how gentle you were with him.
Amy when you get a chance I’d love to see you do a proper Cavalier groom. I guess this girl was a special case, but I literally have nightmares that my boy will come home from the groomer looking like a Cocker Spaniel LOL … So I’m researching online trying to learn how to groom him at home myself, deshedding/carding his coat, tidying paws & sanitary area, and shortening furnishings with blending shears to keep his beautiful natural look. Thanks! I love how you are empowering pet owners to care for our pets!
Whatever the owner prefers and this is a great video Amy showing us how to make our Cavaliers look good. I don't show so I can cut her any way I wish.... I love the look and love the fact that you did clean the face and around the ears..what a great job
Hi Amy! I’ve been grooming for 2 months and did my first Cavy today 🥰 I definitely felt like I was winging it because even though I’m a “grooming trainee”, my salon leader was not around to tell me what to do. So tonight I decided to hop on TH-cam and watch some Cavy grooming videos! ❤
All of us viewers along with the producers themselves are so very blest by the endless knowledge of the trolls condemning the techniques of those producing the videos. I never met this groomer but am most confident she knows Snuggles is a Cavalier King Charles. She simply misspoke and it is called a mistake. As for KCS they are WONDERFUL companions. Such beautiful eyes! THANK YOU for a great video!!!
What a sweet baby she is. You did a fabulous job and using such great detail on her. She looks like a different fur baby. She was so proud of how she looked too. Wish we had groomers like you here.
Oh my gosh she looks so beautiful! And you are so kind to the pup….so important. I just adopted a sweet little cavalier from a rescue in November and I’m looking forward to giving her the best life she can have. Thank you for the great tips-I plan on grooming her myself and am making a list of all the items you use/recommend. ❤
Wow Amy, your groom is a perfect transformation! Snuggles seemed to handle the stress of a likely first pro groom really well; a true benefit of your knowledge in quickly assessing and envisioning the best groom for both the pet and owner, and skill in dealing with the coat and calmly and confidently interacting with the dog throughout the process. So great to view your scissoring techniques, as well. Thanks for sharing and teaching!
My husband brought this to me to watch as I groom our cavaliers. He liked that you left so much of the coat. We live in hot hot Houston. I keep them trimmed to puppy cut from April to November bc that’s just too much hair I weighed it once and it’s 4lbs of fur. Also I never trim the face. I did like the way you did the paws. Thanks learned a few things.
My breeder, who has over 25 years experience breeding and showing Cavaliers all over the world, strongly advised against ever shaving my dog’s hair short like this because it’ll grow back thick and curly like the dog in the video rather than flat and silky as a Cavalier’s coat should be. Cavaliers, btw, have a single coat, rather than a double coat. It looks like this is not this dog's first haircut, given what my breeder said. If you want to keep your dog’s coat flat and silky as it should be, brush daily and don't ever, ever allow the coat to be shaved off down to the skin.
Her coat was clipped prior to becoming a client with me. Conditioning is the key factor in maintaining this coat properly. Brush often and bath/conditioner every three weeks.
What you talking about, the fact they’re double coated is why they say not to shave them because the undercoat doesn’t grow back in properly. They’re definitely double coated dogs. No shade on Go Groomer for shaving that coat. It’s already messed up and would probably be less stress on the dog to just shave that off.
@@GoGroomer The title of your video, though, gives people looking to do a DIY groom all the wrong information about doing it properly. Given this discussion, I'm surprised you haven't added some kind of caveat warning people that this was only done because the dog's coat was not properly cared for and had been clipped very short before. Hopefully, people will read this discussion. I'd hate to see a dog's perfectly good coat be potentially ruined.
She looks great. I wouldn't normally use clippers on a cavalier but she obviously needed a lot of work to remove the matting and make it easier for the human to maintain
I hope the owner appreciates this groomer and her work. Wow you are something else. Congrats for turning this pet into such a beloved breed. I hope Snuggles stays this way with regular baths and grooming, she deserves it because she is a wonderful breed and a gorgeous animal.
I would have LOVED to see her when she got home! She HAS to feel sooooo good. I bet she had the zoomies 🐶❤️ Thank you. I will try some of this on next bubble bath.
Beautiful job! I’ve been watching your channel and grooming my Cavalier since last Spring after the shutdown. I’ve learned so much from you, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate everything you do. Seeing this video is fantastic - I’m so happy you did this groom, now I know how to do his face! 💖
Hello I have Zoey who is almost 2yrs. I had her groomed 4 times. The sides look like a cooker. I love when you can see feathers on the sides. Is there a way of the top smooth and the bottom her feathers. Where are you located?
@@GoGroomercan I ask what clippers you use please. The look to have adjustable blade hight without using comb attachment, loved watching your video, thankyou😀🙁🐶
Wow! You did a beautiful job on this sweet and well-behaved dog! We have a 5 month old Cavapoo/Cavoodle (Cavalier/Poodle mix), and she has proven very difficult to even just brush; she keeps turning around to try and bite the brush! She’s a squirmy pup, too. I was surprised how well Snuggles did when you worked on her ears. Cavaliers are known for having sensitive ears and strongly averse to having their ears simply touched, let alone groomed as well as you did. Our pup doesn’t like her ears touched at all. I’m afraid our groomer is going to have a challenge on her hands! If we lived anywhere near you, I’d love to have you as our girl’s groomer. Good job! 🐶💞💞
One trick I've learned is that if you work with the puppy while they're young, using cuddle time or training with treats (McCann Training has some good videos on this), you can train your puppy to not mind their body being handled including feet, ears, etc. Good luck
Great session. Using a loofa when bathing at home has been so wonderful on my cavalier king charles spaniels, Gracie and Baxter. Thanks again for all the tips. My rescue shih tzu has benefited from your advice and techniques too!
@@magamagagaga Amy from Go Groomer has some great videos on how to give a dog a bath. Check them out! She has a bathing system, but you don't need high tech tools to give a good bath. I just thoroughly wet the dog, and then wet the loofah and then put a small amount of dog shampoo on it after the dog's coat is thoroughly wet. Then gently run the loofah over the dog's body. It will soap nicely and makes it easy to cover the dog evenly. I use a separate loofah for the conditioner. Be sure to rinse, rinse, rinse between each application of product. Enjoy your Cavalier. They are a wonderful dog breed.
Thank you so much for your answer! I watched last night her videos until 2 am :) and realized how little I know about grooming properly my Cavi. Ordered products today and will get two loofahs, it is a great advice! And the Cavies, oh I don’t have enough words to describe how much I love mine! Thank you again!
I love your videos. I learn so much. Now I know how to properly do my dogs paws. I knew I was doing it wrong. My morkie has the most beautiful paws and I love his hair long on them. The way was doing it took away his natural beauty. Thank you so much Go Groomer for sharing your talents. You are my favorite Groomer.
Wow !!!! I went on fb and one of my memories was from 2016 it was my king Charles cavalier ,Merlin ,then the first tutorial I see is this one. She is really chubby but beautiful. . He also was a tri he past away in 2018 . Broke my heart
Thank you for this grooming video! I discovered your channel a year ago, when I needed to groom my Cavalier KC during shutdown. This recent video was so helpful, since breed specific! Also thanks for the earlier personal advice to use a Mars Coat King tool on my cav's coat. I appreciated seeing when and how you used the tool in this particular groom. Thanks, Amy! You are so such a special lady!
Hallo there :) I'm a big fan of yours from far far Bulgaria. Really like what you're doing. I learn a lot from you, cause I started to do grooming 6 months ago. You really help me. Thank you!
I give my cavies a good groom like that in the beginning of spring.. We love camping and trail hiking with ours.. They were covered in ticks. We learned a good lesson. Flea and tick collars are not always effective, but blading them for the summer is. By fall their beautiful coat is growing out.
Thank you so much for this particular video. I had just started back grooming for a franchise after a 7 year break and my confidence was a bit low. I had a lovely Cav booked in for a full clip. They wanted the furnishings kept which I did. He also had a fluffy coat and I chose to use a number 7 on the top line and blend. He looked gorgeous and I was proud. Well the owners went off!! I mean really off. I am good with confrontation and staying calm. I referred them immediately to my manager. They got a refund but kept their next appointment. They are first time Cav owners and the breeder told them to never clip a Cav ever. They were under the impression the coat on the top line was like a drop coat breed. The wife told me I had ruined their dog etc 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ She was almost crying. My manager was on my side. They were a no show to the next appointment they specifically asked to keep but I wouldn’t want to see them again anyway 😳 I know that Cav’s get carded but his coat wasn’t up to scratch and he wasn’t a show dog (I only groom pets) What an ordeal 😂😂🐾🐾
This is an amazing video to watch and a dramatic transformation. The groomer is obviously very experienced. That being said, I would be shocked and horrified if I returned for my Cavalier and found him with this cut. His beautiful fur is a feature of the breed, even if not a show dog. Please be sure your clients know what to expect. Once shaved, a Cavalier’s coat will never be the same silky texture as before.
Thanks Rebecca, I am usually a great communicator and felt confident that we both understood what was going to happen in the groom. I had just taken over from another groomer who resigned without warning and had been thrown into trying to get through too many appointments. I did feel really bad. I didn’t take furnishings/feathering down and left them quite long and just trimmed. They recently rang to book in again but I don’t feel comfortable with them so my manager agreed to do bath and nails only. His coat is still silky which is a relief. Hopefully she will find another groomer soon or even better she can watch Go Groomer and do it at home. I didn’t shave her dog down like most spaniels in my local area get done but the top line was. After this I have been over the top with repeating what my clients ask for just in case.
I guess my sentence was a little short. But they are absolutely the same thing, just called a different name, thinners, or chunker. The exact same product.
What a lovely groom! You were so careful and gentle with her and the result was glorious. I’ve learned quite a bit by watching some of the different groomers on UTube. I’ve seen three different grooms on Cavaliers today and yours was by far the best. You were able to get a stunning result and the dog was comfortable and happy throughout the groom. With one groom that I watched the groomer never said one kind word to the dog and was frightening and rough during the bath. I was horrified! Thank you for showing us that a groomer can be kind AND professional at the same time.
Mary you and I must of watched the same videos. I agree with you 100 per cent Amy did a very nice job and was kind and gentle with Snuggles. Other videos on You Tube are hard to watch as the Cavi is terrified by their experience.
What type of brush/tool are you using at 8:50 to help remove the dead coat immediately after conditioning? You mentioned it by name but I couldn't understand what you said and I do not see it in your link below. Thank you!
Well amy i havent heard about gus hope he is ok can u let me know thank u so much and im sure im gonna enjoy watching this video i learn so much from u love u and God bless and keep u💖💕😄😍
Hi Amy awesome job on her, as always. My favorite breed and hopefully I be able to adopt couple females. I agree, hopefully she lose some weight. Excellent tips to add to my at home grooming. Keep up the great work with your down to earth explaining and demonstrating.
Hi, thanks for this most helpful video! Do you feel that the Lightning blender shear is extremely important? Would a less expensive blender sheer be ok, and if so, what brand?
I have a tricolor cavalier whose coat is long and straight but very fine and thick so he often looks bushy even though I use flattening products. I've always done his grooming and I love the look of the long skirts but it is a lot of work. So I'm thinking about giving him a partial cut this spring/summer but not nearly as much as you've done with this girl. I actually prefer the complete natural look of this breed and don't want to turn my boy into a cocker spaniel look. So using your tips I think I will trim off the top and use the thinning shears to take the weight off his legs without losing the skirt entirely. The side skirts, which would typically graze the ground if I let them, I'll trim those up to about the knees I guess. Also, I usually shave his belly in the hot months but if I go too wide then his skirts look to thin - which is not attractive. If you post replies I would appreciate any advice, suggestions or comments.
@@Bailey8025 I don’t answer questions when the detailed information is defined in the videos that are carefully crafted to provide all explanations. That’s the purpose of my videos. Clarity is my goal and that should prove to be very helpful to you.
Where can I buy that tub lift, I have back issues, and have bend when bathing my pup. That would make a lot of difference for me. Love your way, your always so helpful.
I just found your channel today and your content is so entertaining! How do you recommend grooming more anxious and kind of aggressive dogs? My dog tries to nip and bite sometimes when we bathe him ):
Amy is in my opinion, and thousands of others, the best groomer ever. I have learned to groom all 4 of my dogs from Amy's You Tubes. She also has a Go Groomer Private Facebook page. Very helpful.
This is kinda off topic... I'm a groomer and I'm always struggling to find a comfortable and functional smock. I'm watching the video and noticed your smock and just had to ask...would you be willing to share a link where to purchase? Thank you! Btw... love your videos!
Very well done Amy. A valid point worth mentioning though is that clipping out before a wash is not ideal as it messes up your equipment! Keep up the great work. (:
Hi Amy, I've really enjoyed many of your TH-cam videos the last couple weeks! I have a new little guy (Bailey) Cavalier King Charles and I'm looking to set myself up to be able to groom him. My overall question for you is what combination of shears, etc would work best for the CKC breed? I've been looking at Kenchii and a few varieties seem to stand out to me, namely the T-series, the Five Star series and the Shinobi series. Your Sapphire series with the even handle curved shear is nice since it can be used inside or outside (good versatility!). Kenchii makes a nice slicker brush and I will definitely be getting one of those. The Kenchii rakes look very nice for carding but I'm not sure if a 40 tooth or a 23 tooth would be best for the CKC breed? Kenchii is running a Black Friday sale this weekend and I'm hoping to order some stuff soon. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Again, many thanks for the videos 🙂
I've been waiting for this grooming video for a while. Snuggles is so sweet and very calm considering it was her first professional groom. That was a lot of undercoat :O never thought a small dog could have so much undercoat. I groomed my Cavalier using one of your previous Spaniel mix videos and also used your Golden Retriever de-shedding video. Cavaliers can be small but they shed a lot of fur, it's crazy. And my Cavalier doesn't even have that much undercoat like Snuggles does. Thank you for sharing your techniques with us!
Do you have any tips toward taking care of the coat on a female sterilized Cavalier? She was sick and had her uterus removed in July 2022 and since then her coat has gone crazy, so thick and curly even though I brush her every day, carful cut off any knots that I can't brush out, she is showered and shampooed each week. Thanks in advance.
I tuned into you video from time to time. It has been extremely helpful. Thank you for sharing you talents on youtube. I to have a king charles. And have been grooming him since the start of pandemic. My question is how do you cut the stomach are? With clipper or the blending scissors. My lovely dog Jasper loves to rollin dirt and or anything muddy it is easier to have the under body short.
Hi Amy, I'm not a professional groomer, just a dad to a wonderful Cavalier King Charles youngster. Specifically, I'm wondering if I should just get a Kenchii Level 3 (Shinobi or other?) 46 or finer blender or if I would be better off getting a Level 2, 3 piece set (fine blender, curved and straight shear)?
@@GoGroomer Thanks Amy, Kenchii was having a good Cyber Monday sale so I picked up that level 2, T-Series set along with a Flash5 clipper (for the sanitary grooming), a slicker brush, a boars hair brush, a comb, and that 23 tooth rake you suggested! I'll be set to keep Mr. Bailey looking good. I've enjoyed watching many of your videos and I like how you interact and have a really sweet time with the dogs, you really have a passion for what you do and it not only shows, its appreciated! Thanks again 🙂
I brought my Cavalier to the groomers and they cut the underneath of his ears very short and now my cavy is shaking his head all the time and seems very uncomfortable. Is there anything I can do for him? Is it because his hair is too short or is it dry and I should condition it? I don't know if I should give him another bath or not.
Lots of critics here, but my main interest was cleaning of the Cavi ears. What was name of cleanser and where can this be purchased? Are there any homemade cleansers you would recommend?
Can't believe whoever owns this cavy never took care of her coat. I have never seen a cavy coat in that bad of a shape. I am against shaving, BUT, in this scenario, you had no other alternative. Shame on the owner! You did a great job with her.
I have a problem with my dog, I bought a cavalier but from the beginning it seemed strange to me because it had a lot of hair on its face, cavaliers normally do not have much hair on their faces, and I wanted to know if there are cavaliers with hairy faces
Found you via Suzanne Grande 😃 My friend just got a King Charles Cavalier and wants me to groom him so I tuned in to see your video. Thanks for posting this !
Awesome! Just a tip…card the coat with a coat king. If you groom this coat every 4-6 weeks properly that is the right way to approach grooming to cavalier. Not clipping the coat🤞
I love your videos! I own a groom shop and have an experienced groomer working for me and I am learning a lot, but can I ask you how you became "certified"? I have heard there is no certification, but I would really love to further my education and become certified if there is a way. Thanks :)
THANK you for stating at the BEGINNING why you clipped her.

The wife told me I had ruined their dog etc 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ She was almost crying. My manager was on my side. They were a no show to the next appointment they specifically asked to keep but I wouldn’t want to see them again anyway 😳 I know that Cav’s get carded but his coat wasn’t up to scratch and he wasn’t a show dog (I only groom pets) What an ordeal 😂😂🐾🐾
This is an amazing video to watch and a dramatic transformation. The groomer is obviously very experienced. That being said, I would be shocked and horrified if I returned for my Cavalier and found him with this cut. His beautiful fur is a feature of the breed, even if not a show dog. Please be sure your clients know what to expect. Once shaved, a Cavalier’s coat will never be the same silky texture as before.
Thanks Rebecca, I am usually a great communicator and felt confident that we both understood what was going to happen in the groom. I had just taken over from another groomer who resigned without warning and had been thrown into trying to get through too many appointments. I did feel really bad. I didn’t take furnishings/feathering down and left them quite long and just trimmed. They recently rang to book in again but I don’t feel comfortable with them so my manager agreed to do bath and nails only. His coat is still silky which is a relief. Hopefully she will find another groomer soon or even better she can watch Go Groomer and do it at home. I didn’t shave her dog down like most spaniels in my local area get done but the top line was. After this I have been over the top with repeating what my clients ask for just in case.
Love this breed! Such sweeties
Nice job, Amy. Thanks for sharing!!! I'm learning so much from you....What's the difference between a chunker and a blending shear?
The same thing.
They're all technically called Blending Shears. Like Janelle said, they're the same.
I guess my sentence was a little short. But they are absolutely the same thing, just called a different name, thinners, or chunker. The exact same product.
You are the best groomer 💛💚💙 Magdalena from Poland 🇵🇱 ♥
You made my day 💕
Wow you done great, she looks amazing x
Thank you very much!
What a lovely groom! You were so careful and gentle with her and the result was glorious. I’ve learned quite a bit by watching some of the different groomers on UTube. I’ve seen three different grooms on Cavaliers today and yours was by far the best. You were able to get a stunning result and the dog was comfortable and happy throughout the groom. With one groom that I watched the groomer never said one kind word to the dog and was frightening and rough during the bath. I was horrified! Thank you for showing us that a groomer can be kind AND professional at the same time.
Mary you and I must of watched the same videos. I agree with you 100 per cent
Amy did a very nice job and was kind and gentle with Snuggles. Other videos on You Tube are hard to watch as the Cavi is terrified by their experience.
Love you Amy !!! Another fab video xxx
Beautiful grooming session AMY as always
What type of brush/tool are you using at 8:50 to help remove the dead coat immediately after conditioning? You mentioned it by name but I couldn't understand what you said and I do not see it in your link below. Thank you!
Coat king
You sure do a thorough job. You made her so pretty
What a transformation, enjoying your videos Amy learning so much. 💕
What grooming rake ( blades#) should I buy for my cavalier
I was just going to ask but I see she didn’t respond at all. 🤷🏻♀️
Well amy i havent heard about gus hope he is ok can u let me know thank u so much and im sure im gonna enjoy watching this video i learn so much from u love u and God bless and keep u💖💕😄😍
Congratulations! You really work well!
Hi Amy awesome job on her, as always. My favorite breed and hopefully I be able to adopt couple females. I agree, hopefully she lose some weight. Excellent tips to add to my at home grooming. Keep up the great work with your down to earth explaining and demonstrating.
Beautiful work. 🥰🥰🥰
I love the tub leash!!!
Hi, thanks for this most helpful video! Do you feel that the Lightning blender shear is extremely important? Would a less expensive blender sheer be ok, and if so, what brand?
My shear is my daily go to. It’s sold out but will be back in stock very soon! kenchiigrooming.com/sapphire-by-amy-leigh-52-tooth-thinner-7-5-offset/
What is the red brush you use? I wish I could get a brush through my cavalier's fur! Even with conditioner in, it tangles
She is beautiful! ❤️ 💙 💜
Thanks for this
My pleasure!
She looks 10 years younger ! Great grooming job!
I love your grooming techniques. So nice to be able to see clearly and learn x
Sorry beautiful video I have a male and I don't like how the dreamer doesn't and I can't get them to let me cut his nails help
Gorgeous!
She is pretty 💖
I have a tricolor cavalier whose coat is long and straight but very fine and thick so he often looks bushy even though I use flattening products. I've always done his grooming and I love the look of the long skirts but it is a lot of work. So I'm thinking about giving him a partial cut this spring/summer but not nearly as much as you've done with this girl. I actually prefer the complete natural look of this breed and don't want to turn my boy into a cocker spaniel look.
So using your tips I think I will trim off the top and use the thinning shears to take the weight off his legs without losing the skirt entirely. The side skirts, which would typically graze the ground if I let them, I'll trim those up to about the knees I guess.
Also, I usually shave his belly in the hot months but if I go too wide then his skirts look to thin - which is not attractive.
If you post replies I would appreciate any advice, suggestions or comments.
Thank you for this!!!!
My pleasure 💕
What size blade are you using for the buzzer?
It’s explained in the video.
@ Wow… thanks for a no answer🤣🤣
@@Bailey8025 I don’t answer questions when the detailed information is defined in the videos that are carefully crafted to provide all explanations. That’s the purpose of my videos. Clarity is my goal and that should prove to be very helpful to you.
Where can I buy that tub lift, I have back issues, and have bend when bathing my pup. That would make a lot of difference for me. Love your way, your always so helpful.

WOW, I wish you will groom my Cavalier! ❤️🙏👏
I just found your channel today and your content is so entertaining! How do you recommend grooming more anxious and kind of aggressive dogs? My dog tries to nip and bite sometimes when we bathe him ):
Amy is in my opinion, and thousands of others, the best groomer ever. I have learned to groom all 4 of my dogs from Amy's You Tubes. She also has a Go Groomer Private Facebook page. Very helpful.
This is kinda off topic... I'm a groomer and I'm always struggling to find a comfortable and functional smock. I'm watching the video and noticed your smock and just had to ask...would you be willing to share a link where to purchase? Thank you! Btw... love your videos!

Very well done Amy. A valid point worth mentioning though is that clipping out before a wash is not ideal as it messes up your equipment! Keep up the great work. (:
Hi Amy, I've really enjoyed many of your TH-cam videos the last couple weeks! I have a new little guy (Bailey) Cavalier King Charles and I'm looking to set myself up to be able to groom him. My overall question for you is what combination of shears, etc would work best for the CKC breed?
I've been looking at Kenchii and a few varieties seem to stand out to me, namely the T-series, the Five Star series and the Shinobi series. Your Sapphire series with the even handle curved shear is nice since it can be used inside or outside (good versatility!).
Kenchii makes a nice slicker brush and I will definitely be getting one of those. The Kenchii rakes look very nice for carding but I'm not sure if a 40 tooth or a 23 tooth would be best for the CKC breed? Kenchii is running a Black Friday sale this weekend and I'm hoping to order some stuff soon. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Again, many thanks for the videos 🙂
Any of the above mentioned shears will be more than perfect! - 23 tooth rake.
@@GoGroomer many thanks
Wow! I’m on the wait list for two Cavaliers. This video kinda freaked me out. Lol. Guess I’ll need to find a good groomer.
It you brush your 2 cavaliers daily you can enjoy that beautiful coat. They are such gorgeous dogs:)
I looked for the link to the bathing harness you were talking about but couldn't find them. They look much safer than the loops.
There isn't a link. Just my email address, rkgrant16@gmail.com 😉
You are so nice and talk so sweet to the babies
I've been waiting for this grooming video for a while. Snuggles is so sweet and very calm considering it was her first professional groom. That was a lot of undercoat :O never thought a small dog could have so much undercoat.
I groomed my Cavalier using one of your previous Spaniel mix videos and also used your Golden Retriever de-shedding video. Cavaliers can be small but they shed a lot of fur, it's crazy. And my Cavalier doesn't even have that much undercoat like Snuggles does.
Thank you for sharing your techniques with us!
I am expecting my Kenchii Flash with all the blades any day now. I am excited.
Do you have any tips toward taking care of the coat on a female sterilized Cavalier? She was sick and had her uterus removed in July 2022 and since then her coat has gone crazy, so thick and curly even though I brush her every day, carful cut off any knots that I can't brush out, she is showered and shampooed each week. Thanks in advance.
Do you shave off the whiskers on the face? I was wondering if that's safe.
Yes, it’s safe.
I got my baby at a puppy mill a year ago . . What can I do to keep him calm? Any help would be great he hates his paws touched
Patience and consistency.
I tuned into you video from time to time. It has been extremely helpful. Thank you for sharing you talents on youtube. I to have a king charles. And have been grooming him since the start of pandemic. My question is how do you cut the stomach are? With clipper or the blending scissors. My lovely dog Jasper loves to rollin dirt and or anything muddy it is easier to have the under body short.
Hi Amy, I'm not a professional groomer, just a dad to a wonderful Cavalier King Charles youngster. Specifically, I'm wondering if I should just get a Kenchii Level 3 (Shinobi or other?) 46 or finer blender or if I would be better off getting a Level 2, 3 piece set (fine blender, curved and straight shear)?
All you need is a level 1 or 2 straight and blender.
@@GoGroomer Thanks Amy, Kenchii was having a good Cyber Monday sale so I picked up that level 2, T-Series set along with a Flash5 clipper (for the sanitary grooming), a slicker brush, a boars hair brush, a comb, and that 23 tooth rake you suggested! I'll be set to keep Mr. Bailey looking good.
I've enjoyed watching many of your videos and I like how you interact and have a really sweet time with the dogs, you really have a passion for what you do and it not only shows, its appreciated! Thanks again 🙂
I brought my Cavalier to the groomers and they cut the underneath of his ears very short and now my cavy is shaking his head all the time and seems very uncomfortable. Is there anything I can do for him? Is it because his hair is too short or is it dry and I should condition it? I don't know if I should give him another bath or not.
Clipper irritation. Put anti itch cream on the area to soothe the skin.
Have you dealt/do you do anything to prevent groomers lung? Thinking about becoming a pet groomer but I don't know if I want to take that risk
Wear a mask and no worries.
Lots of critics here, but my main interest was cleaning of the Cavi ears. What was name of cleanser and where can this be purchased? Are there any homemade cleansers you would recommend?
The link wasn’t found for the harness, is it still available for purchase? :)
Can't believe whoever owns this cavy never took care of her coat. I have never seen a cavy coat in that bad of a shape. I am against shaving, BUT, in this scenario, you had no other alternative. Shame on the owner! You did a great job with her.
She is a rescue from a puppy mill🥲 new owner has only had her for about 6 months.
Amazing job 👏
Where can I get a tub mat like the blue one you use? My caviliar slides all over cuz I don’t have one.
Hi Amy.. would u recommend the kenchii rake over the coat king rake?
This cavalier has definitely been shaved a lot before that’s why her coat is so curly I love the way you talk to her💖🐾Hugs Kell
What is the name of the product you are using?
I have a problem with my dog, I bought a cavalier but from the beginning it seemed strange to me because it had a lot of hair on its face, cavaliers normally do not have much hair on their faces, and I wanted to know if there are cavaliers with hairy faces
Not hairy faces. They can grow a fuzzy layer on their muzzle but not always.
I am a cat person, but, I really like this cute little dog.
🥰
I have a 16 week old Cavalier. My husband says he’s like a snuggly cat
I have a K.C. Cavalier, she has skin tags. Will the under coat brush hurt her?
I can't get the harness to pull up. I'm want all 3 size
amazing grooming! where can I order the blue platform on your bathtub please? It,s sounds great for the small dogs to stand on it.
I need someone to tidy up my face like this.😅🥴
Do you have any cavalier videos that aren’t. Full clip?
No but you can follow my golden retriever video as a guide:)
@@GoGroomer thank you! The carding section with cream rinse looked useful.
One more quick question, do you have any tricks for tear stains?
Found you via Suzanne Grande 😃 My friend just got a King Charles Cavalier and wants me to groom him so I tuned in to see your video. Thanks for posting this !
Awesome! Just a tip…card the coat with a coat king. If you groom this coat every 4-6 weeks properly that is the right way to approach grooming to cavalier. Not clipping the coat🤞
linked below where?
Tub leash link?
I updated the description. It's there now:)
I love your videos! I own a groom shop and have an experienced groomer working for me and I am learning a lot, but can I ask you how you became "certified"? I have heard there is no certification, but I would really love to further my education and become certified if there is a way. Thanks :)
