Thank'S Mel , We are my Wife and i, brand new owners of a 2yo, Cavoodle his name is Wicky, so i am learning a lot from your videos he is just loving his brushing ,nail trims, and general grooming , thank's again for your tips and tricks. Chris and Wicky.

Do you have a video for the first poodle haircut. Is it the same as this haircut?

the furminator has very sharp teeth that if you use it that hard and with wet hair will probably hurt terribly the dog skin. be carefull to the ones who use the original furminator

Info please

What a good boy is he looks so handsome. I love his little bowtie.. fantastic work.❤

Definitely a nice job and he is beautiful. But I get so nervous seeing the scissor work thinking if he jerks the wrong way, his eyes. That’s why I take forever and do a lousy job too. But my little guy thinks he is beautiful. I’m trying to learn to groom my standard. My last one I took to groomer every six weeks was he passed away last thanksgiving. I decided after a few months that I needed another one even though I don’t want to go through that again. He died of bloating. Terrible thing to watch and then vet hospital tried and operated kept him alive for two days. This one is now six months old and I groomed him twice and took him to groomer once. I’m definitely going to still use a pro once in a while. You guys make it look easy, but it’s surely far from that. Very nice work there. Only wish I was a 1/4 as good. ✌️🇺🇸👍

Wow, he is just gorgeous

I know I am a bit late to the party here but I love your products and just found your videos! About 6 weeks ago we adopted a a 7-8ish month old rescue standard poodle with a pretty terrible background. He's afraid of strangers and flighty to the point that his first 'groom' was being shaved under sedation at the vet. I've been desensitizing him to grooming and we're getting there but he won't yet cope with going to a groomer. He's about due for another groom so I have been learning how to do it myself for now, my question is, can I bathe him, and then clip him bit by bit over a couple of days (so he doesn't get too overwhelmed) or does he need to be bathed and totally clipped on the one day? I know I'd need to do a lot of brushing and comb checking first either way. I read somewhere that clipping an unbathed dog will ruin the blade, the clippers, or both. I am more worried about him being comfortable than the clippers but I bought good ones so it would be nice if they lasted as long as possible!

Beautiful job!

Get some oil on your scissors. Squeaky or what

I'm preparing for my exams and this is extremely helpful! Thank you 🙏

Most dogs love a bath is warm it's soothing your fingers massaging their skin makes them relax most dogs like a bath.❤❤😊

Thank you, Melanie, for this brilliant video. 👍❤ I'm a home groomer with a trade background, and I've always bought quality tools. The importance of proper maintenance can never be overstated. I learnt in this video to slide the moving blade aside to expose usually hidden parts for proper cleaning. Awesome.

We have a 9-year-old sable and white Sheltie named "Connor," we recently introduced "Ollie," a Blenheim and white miniature Cavoodle, to our family. He's a barrel of laughs, but I need to improve my grooming skills. Luckily, my wife came across your site, which is fantastic, so I'm eagerly venturing into my new grooming journey. I'm elderly and primarily a visual learner, so thank you for sharing your techniques and skills on CZcams. ❤

Very pretty 🤩 and so relaxed ❤

Info please

Hi there…. Recently I found out Germany has made it a criminal offence to cut whiskers calling it an amputation. I was wondering what you think? I can understand dogs need them but is it absolutely necessary?

Love the detailed explanations, and the step by step instruction!

this is the first video showing the operation of this dog clipper. are you satisfied with the power and performance of artero premium? would you recommend this dog clipper for occasional home use for thick curly hair? thanks

Very nice :)

I accidentally trip my puppy 😢nails and it bled I put some flour on it but do I need to wash the blood off and put antiseptic ?

Learned a lot from your video! Can you give us a link for the detangling comb/tool. I didn't see it in your list. Thanks!

Thank you, very informative and gives me plenty to prepare to wash/ dished with my corgi.

Hi Melanie, the videos are great. I’ve got a 7 month corgi. How frequently should I wash her, what temperature should the water be and how do you get the dogs to stand so quietly? Final question - where do you get the non slip mat the dog is on. Thanks.

I don't shave Gucci's, my Corgi. I clip out the hair in her pads with a small clipper. I'm working on scissoring the top of her paws. I use a comb to brush the hair up instead of the brush. The brush is too big. I bought it to brush her double coat. A groomer recommended it. I usually work on Gucci's feet at the end of her bath and she's pretty restless. I trim off enough to see her nails, so I can clip them. She does everything she can so I can't see what I'm doing. I was holding her paw in my hand turning it up and under her body so she could balance. She wiggles a lot pulling her paw away. Sometimes I sit on the grooming table beside her. The lighting isn't very good. I put the grooming table close to the sink and there's a mirror in front of her. She likes to see the "Corgi" in front of her. She hates having her nails clipped. Suggestions? I have clippers with a light and a Dremel. I don't know which one is the best way to clip her nails. I like how you hold the paw up by holding on to the upper part of the leg instead of the paw. I've been working on scissoring, but I never watched it being done just read how to do it. Thanks 👍.

Way too harsh!! Especially pinching just beneath her chin.!! Not nice.

What size is your pup ?

I’m enjoying the heck out of this. I’m a 63 year old retired welder fabricator, biker guy from Pennsylvania and I’m surprised myself that I’m watching two nice ladies grooming poodles. But I’m from German shepherds all my life and now on my second black standard poodle. Amazing dogs. They are needy but my first one knew how to make me laugh when I wasn’t feeling it. Now my favorite breed. Melanie , you keep me smiling too. ✌️one more quick question, is bathing once a month ok or should I just wait till six or seven weeks and do the bath with the groom? My dog hangs out in the garage and truck with me, but I do keep him brushed so there’s never any knots. I also really want to get him to the river and lakes, so is brushing him good, good enough or can I bathe him more? Maybe you have a recommendation for a shampoo that won’t strip him of his natural oils in the coat and skin. Sorry if I’m being a pain and hogging too much information. But I trust your advice and will follow it. Keep up the good work and fun doing it. ✌️

Melanie, you are so pleasant to listen to and your happiness does rub off on your friends and viewers. You give and gave me confidence to tackle the job of grooming my standard poodle, and it’s not nearly as easy as you make it look. I just took mine to a woman to clean up my work, but I think I’m gonna have to take a few lessons to know how much pressure I can put on the clippers. I’m so nervous I’m gonna cut or hurt him. And I’m realizing that to do a good job, scissor work is a must. But I’m determined and my little buddy is happy with how he looks when I try to clean him up. I was wondering if you just use powder and your fingers to get the hair out. I’m sure I’ve watched how you do it because I’m watching so many videos. But I’m not a fan of the groomers who twist the tweezers and yank. I know I’m not getting all of the hair out but they are clean and he doesn’t hate the way I do it. My other standard that passed from bloat last year had his ears cleaned by groomers regularly and he seemed to have ear infections to many times. I’m trying to figure out what is best and hopefully my baby boy won’t have the ear infections my other one had. Thanks for sharing your advice and experience with people like me that really need it. And from a normal, good and fun person. ✌️👍😊

I love using your products, my Pug Oliver always feels happy after his bath❤️. Can’t wait to try this new collection 🌷

My dog is a 60 lbs standard poodle - i dont think i could hold up like that while shaving him. He’s also intact ( for now ) not sure how to do that would love info

That grumpy little face as he gets the cologne after being such a smiley face is adorable.

I got lost on what brush you were referring to. Perhaps stay the name - explain - pause - repeat.

That happy hoody is too small. And you should wear a mask when blowing his coat out, thats a lot of hair and dander airborne. And FYI the panting is a sign of anxiety. If you used a set of smaller clippers between his bads you wouldn't have to use the hard bristle slicker brush against his pads to get the hair up.

When I bathe my golden, the water beads up on the fur fur. It makes it hard to get her wet all the way to her skin.

Wow, Amazing Work ❤! Greetings from France, Pascaline Bablee Andrieu

Such a sweet dog! Nice one Mel.

Would this procedure work for Pembroke Welsh Corgis? I use a deshedding shampoo and I bathe her twice then I use a conditioner.. While she has the conditioner on I run a deshedding tool through her coat. I'm sure that you know that corgis have a double coat. After I rinse the conditioner out I use a looped tool that's opened out straight to remove as much of the water from her coat before I towel dry her. She doesn't like the dog hair dryer, but it dries her coat so much faster than a human hair dryer. My folks had two Golden Retrievers, both named Niki. He sure is vocal when you bathe him! I've got to figure out how to save your CZcams video, so I can go back to it when I groom my Corgi, Gucci. I find it very informative.

I thought you had to hold the dryer way back, so you didnt create whipknots? Have i been doing it wrong? Damn lol

I need tips for how to be able to brush my 8 month old Yorkie who is super wary of any foreign object approaching here. She moves quickly out of the way. Very squirmy. I can pet and hug her with ease but beyond that, no go! Help!

Love your work 👍🏻

Absolutely beautiful!!! and your manner just as lovely! 😃 So pleasant to watch!!We are welcoming our new toy Poodle home in December… and these tutorials are sooo inspiring! I will try to groom him at home, but with really good tools and products. We are from London. Not sure if we can get these grooming shampoo and relaxant conditioner here in the uk… But will definitely look into it. Thank you ! 🙏🏻🥰

Wow! Beautiful job❤

Hi Melanie, I have always been taught to brush up when up for an even finish when clipping, do you not agree with that? Love your grooms, thank you.

What was the name of the little quiet clipper?

I’ve been doing my toy wrong. I was going on the whole foot. It looks like she’s wearing pants.

I absolutely love pretty much every video you have. This look looks flawless love it ❤️

wish we got dogs like this at the salon! most of ours are cavoodles with short clips

I love the difference between your dog and my dog's reaction to the grinder. I know you worked through this step already, but I feel like I could groom him forever and he would never sit that still
