      Yes, Barkley is a great dog. The aussie that lived here last, would not have stay that calm and definitely would have cleaned your ears and gives kisses. Need to see the Aussie wiggle but too !

      Yes, he looks to be from a high quality show-line (not working-line) breeder. My Aussie is similar. Wonderful temperament

      You are an extremely good groomer. I wish you worked where I lived. The dog is very happy and well conditioned to having his hair done. Great Job!

      My Aussie Border collie mix lifts her front arms for me to get under her pits when brushing burrs out of her fur. I never trained her to do that. Lol but it helps. She does know the command, "give me your butt," when brushing her withers. She turns her butt to me.

    I have an Australian Shepherd too and he acts exactly the same 😄 Always has this innocent look in his eyes, especially when I am eating. He eats anything that is edible, apples that fall from trees, strawberries in the garden, and he even eats every bug he sees 😅. Would recommend it to any upcoming dog owners, and he would never bite/hurt anyone (Except bugs).

  • @summerplayzforfun7130

    I love how he already knew the process so at 6:17 he gave his paw and was like "here you go."

    Thanks so much for your great thorough teaching! I groom my aussie myself as she was abused & anxious with new things. It has become a nice bonding time & she has come to trust me a lot more because of it. I take my time & use lots of treats. As time has gone by I've gotten braver with how much I take off, and she's looking much better these days! haha at first she was quite a moppet. :) I also rarely do all of her in one sitting. So one day I'll do her paws, another her britches, then her bib, etc. So she's always kind of a walking work in progress, lol.

    I recently rescued a severely anxious Aussie who absolutely can’t go to the groomer because of his anxiety. I’ve been slowly working him up to baths but it’s a slow process for sure. So far we’re just doing water baths with no soap so he gets use to the water. Sometimes he jumps out and tries to run away from the anxiety so I don’t want him coated in soap and refusing to get back in. This is honestly so nice to see, great tips and a hopeful look into what grooming my sweet boy will eventually look like!!

    • @flowersxyz568
      @flowersxyz568 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I have an extremely anxious Aussie. We got him as a puppy and he was anxious from day one. We’ve worked with him slowly and baths are much easier now. Still working on the blow dryer but he’s only 3 and he does so well. A lot of treats, a lot of patience. He still gets too anxious with the vet and groomers but he’s much better.

    He's such a patient, well behaved puppy. My Ginger is 15 months now and she's such a wiggly puppy. The last time I took her in for a grooming they said she was just too wiggly to trim her nails. She is so excited when I take her in. Your place seems like such a relaxing environment. I wish you could groom Ginger.

    Thanks for your well rounded grooming tips. He’s so well behaved which makes a big job easier. I recently adopted a 6 year old female Aussie. She’s so sweet. Unfortunately her previous owner didn’t groom her much. I have been using a furninator and a pin brush to get rid of a lot of the under coat. She’s been shedding like crazy but it’s a little better now. I had another Aussie a number of years ago so have some experience with it. Thanks for your tips. You do a great job

    This is a great tutorial ! We just took our Aussie in and were shocked to see that the groomer shaved him short !!! She said that it was an Aussie puppy cut !! I’m going to rewatch this video many times and be trying to groom him ourselves in the future until we can find somebody that truly knows how to groom an Aussie… small town area so our options are limited to say the least… I hope his coat recovers …

    This was a great video! I have a blue merle as well and I am very particular about his grooming. One groomer shaved him (which we did not ask for and would never ask for). After that his hair did grow back correctly, but I get very anxious to take him now because I never want that mix up to happen again.

    • @groomingtipsbymeliss1867
      @groomingtipsbymeliss1867  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes shaving the hair can change the texture of the hair, just be specific with your groomer what you want & show pictures !

    • @maryfrederickson2526
      @maryfrederickson2526 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I do shave my Aussie in the summer because we live on a Texas ranch where there are billions of sand burrs. If we didn't shave him (about 2" of hair) the poor thing would be covered in burrs and miserable.. By winter, when we have blizzards (Panhandle of TX) his beautiful hair has grown out again.

    Thank you for this! I groom my own Ausi but It is always so hard to wash all the way to the skin, thanks for the tip with the knobby scrubber. Our trainer recommended shaving her belly in the summer, is this something that is done for Ausis? If so I would love to see how to shave that area even if it is on a different bread.
