1) it was never suggested grooming is the most difficult job in the world
2) I'm not complaining about my job, I'm simply explaining why grooming rates are reasonably priced.

Ah yes the sitting. My golden does that too, in random instances she’ll just sit wherever she pleases. It doesn’t matter if it’s a person, my laptop, or just a rug, she’ll be there. She thinks she’s a lap dog, however she knows that I’m the only one who’ll let her do it. I enjoy having her on or just around me. It’s almost like a weighted blanket just with fur.
legitimately read this as "shitting" and I still just accepted it lol.

@@its_dey_mate oh god lmao thank u for this
Lol. My labs will do the exact same thing. Lol. I think it’s all retrievers. Especially your 108 pound English black lab Burris. My dad used to lay Burris on his chest when he was a puppy and they would sleep like that all the time. Burris still thinks he’s not only a lap dog but also a chest dog. Lol
@@its_dey_mate 🤣🤣🤣🤣 👑
I don’t know how someone could ever think being a dog groomer is ever easy. I try to clip my dogs nails at home or give her a bath, and I’m exhausted. Haha. 😅
Right if the job was that easy all owners would groom their own pets
LMAO FOR REAL! people go oit and pay for a service so they don't have to do it... Then forget why they don't want to do it
@@MsMedford I watch to learn tricks & tips. Spend around 2 hrs every 2 weeks just deshedding, brushing & clipping my doggo. Plus like any profession in the services industry “you get what you pay for”.
Agreed. It is a true service provided. If people want to fill there tub and bathroom full of hair, purchase all the required equipment and learn these skills, then by all means go do it yourself and stop complaining. Thank you Girl With The Dogs, I enjoy the work you do and share :).
@@MsMedfordI think most owners should try to groom their pets at least once in a while if they're able. They would have an appreciation for their groomers after that.
As a receptionist for a grooming salon I like to remind people that complain about prices by saying that their hairdresser doesn't even charge them that much, that your hairdresser doesn't give you a full shower and scrub your butt before the cut and that humans are less likely to bite or scratch. Groomers are saints and work so hard!
My barber scrubs my butt. I thought this was normal?
I scratch and bite every time I get a haircut
People are a hell of a lot easier to guide around for a haircut than dogs for sure. If my dog was as compliant as i was for a haircut it would be bliss
@Morgan Anderson, 💯👏👏!!
My hairdresser doesn't do my anal glands either!🤢
I have to also chime in this story in support of groomers: I took my first Saint to the same groomer for 7 years, and he groomed my maltipoo too, loved him so much. When my first Saint died, at the next appointment for my Maltipoo, I was caught off guard when I walked in to the salon and immediately was hit with a wave of grief for my Moose who I had taken there so many times, who they treated so tenderly when his hips went bad and he couldn't stand much, and I started crying. My groomer and two of the other staff members rushed over and embraced me in a circle hug and we all cried together for a minute. I live by myself and had to put my dog down by myself, and they comforted me like family and I'll never forget it. That they cared for my pain, and cared for my dog that much, just so touching.
♥️💔
♥️
Usually I’m the one writing comments that make others cry, but this really tore my heart in half. I’m so sorry you had to go through that and process that on your own. I’m happy that the grooming staff gave you empathy and support at least. People like that make life so much easier to bear, and I wish there were more of them. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
Your story made me cry but it was lovely how those groomers treated you.
Believe me, as a dog groomer myself, we get attached to a lot of our clients dogs and the clients themselves. I've caught myself getting teary eyed hearing x dad's/mom died or x died.
Even just seeing the decline in the dog or pet parent makes us emotional.

Hehe, perfect! ☺
"Don't forget to appreciate your groomer"
Me: * Looks at my cats * Well since they're their own groomers, I have to admit, I appreciate them alot
Yo petting your cat (intimate time) is part of grooming it too.. removing the shedding hairs cos of the season changing, etc.. my cats love and know when their grooming and pettting and time to get some itch away is lol
*Looks at my geckos* they groom by shedding and dipping themselves into water when hot so ig
I know what you mean! I've repeatedly asked my cat how his fur is so shiny and soft all the time and why he smells so nice. He refuses to tell me. Alright then, keep your secrets! :)
Yeah cat groomers are few and far between. Every time I see mine I'm grateful. I have a calm cat but she has soooo much hair the groomer has to work through. Bless her heart
They have to be groomed as they get older. Just not often. Just wait if they get into really old age they just get lazy.
If a service exists, it means it's needed. A groomer is a specialist and a hands on worker, plus I would pay an arm and a leg for someone as caring and skilled as this to take on my goofy mutt.
@Tuulia Tamminen Before I lost my career due to the vaxx mandates I would've absolutely agreed, luckily I don't have a doggie at this time and doubt I ever will again. It's a pleasure to watch this young lady.

The part about golden retrievers greeting a burglar with a wagging tail made me laugh. We had a golden when I was young and she loved to be given things to carry in her mouth. My mom reckoned that if we were ever burgled she would actually help the burglars carry stuff out to their getaway csr.
So true about Golden Retrievers being serial sitters, and as someone with a bad back and radial nerve damage, I feel your pain! But Luna definitely looked like a white queen after all your hard work.
Lol
Lorna, what is your dog? He/she looks just like my wolfhound cross
@@torduck4804 He was a Bedlington terrier x Whippet lurcher…a mini Wolfhound indeed!
My golden retriever only growled once in her life at strangers. This was a dog who would happily jump in the car with strangers to go for a ride and loved everyone she met except these two men who showed up in my yard walking up to my front door. It was spring, the front door was open but the storm door was locked. I had never heard that noise come out her before. I saw what she was growling out, yelled at them to leave my property then promptly shut and locked all doors and windows. She patrolled the house for about 20 minutes and then settled down to deposit more hair balls in various rooms. I had always she would escort any burglars around the house gladly but with these guys she was going to rip a throat out. She never did that again in her 13 yrs. Just growled that one time. I’m glad I listened to her instead of punishing her.
My friend has a golden retriever and the only time Ive ever been scared around her was once when I was trying to pick her toys up and put them away and she got annoyed and nipped my hand. Okay well it's wasn't really a bite but she took my hand in her mouth for a sec and held it and looked at me and then let go. The message was received and I let her chill :)
I had a Labrador Retriever growing up who was the exact same way, except for one single time. We were on a long road trip driving half way across the country, and I had stopped at a rest stop in the middle of the night to give him a potty break. We were walking around in the grass when suddenly he snapped to attention, bolted to the end of his leash, and started snarling at some guy who was about 6 feet away from us. I instinctively apologized, but the guy just walked away without saying anything.
Looking back on it, he was almost certainly trying to mug me. I was 10-15 feet away from any walking path. He had no reason to be that close to me. Had my dog not been paying attention, I could be dead.
@@IAmKrego They know without actions or words, they can just feel who is a legitimate danger. Glad you listen to you dog. Glad the stranger listened to your dog. Lol
My mom has a pit/boxer mix who did something similar, just once. They were on a walk and sam would not stop barking at a suspicious man walking down the street. He would have lunged at him if he wasnt on a leash. Mom is certain sam saved her from a horrible person. He has never done anything like that before or since. Dogs can be great blessings.
Me too, I have had two occasions where my dog growled at someone..when usually they loved on everyone. Looking back at those times, I know my dog sensed something I was too "polite" to acknowledge, and that was that the people in question shouldn't have been there and had some negative intentions that I was trying to polite away.
I work in early education aka daycare. I hear you, and I see you! The amount of times I've been told how nice it must be to play with kids all day" and listen to complaints of cost.....endless.
From one professional to another, I appreciate you and the work you do!
Oh Lord, don’t even get me started on people who complain about the prices of childcare!
All of that expense cost, and barely a penny of it goes to the people who actually work with the children.
You might as well tell a parent that all they do is play with the children all day… It’s extremely insulting and just as insulting to say the daycare provider does that!
Only in the first world capitalist country like America with people complain about the cost of educating, comforting, and protecting small children
@@spiralrose These services dont exist anywhere but 1st world countries. Possibly some 2nd world countries.
The worst part, is that barely any of what parents are paying goes to the people actually working with the children, most of the cost is just going into the pockets of the owners and administrators. I mean, the owners deserve a living wage too for operating the service (assuming they're owner-operators who work in their own center - if they're hiring administrators and not even regularly showing up themselves, well, then they obviously aren't doing any work to pay themselves for), and I understand that there are operating expenses for a daycare besides staff salaries, but you guys, the actual daycare teachers, should be paid a lot more and the cost of the service should reflect the cost to pay you guys that wage, rather than the cost of lining the owner's pockets.
“I have to pay twice as much to get my dogs hair than my own”
Well you don’t potentially bite and poop in your hairdressers chair do you?
Thanks for educating people on what groomers do.
And, most of the times, the owner has less hair than their dog. 😬
Wait, are you saying you DONT poop while getting a haircut?!?!? I thought that was SOP.
Speak for yourself pal!
Actually I bite my hair dresser every time!
@@jazzyj6640 I hope you at least tip them well afterwards
I'm a Massage Therapist (23 years) who has a pet groomer client. She's had chronic low back, neck and shoulder problems, even with the latest ergonomic equipment. You've brought to the forefront the true aspects of your profession through your videos. These professions (mine, included) are not for the weak at heart, nor glamorous. My job is every bit as mental as well as physical.
@dementor no, but it does mean they have the right to set their prices at a rate that the market will bear that also allows them to pay for health insurance (if in USA).
@dementor you're welcome to set up your own service and charge less.
@dementor this literally wasnt her point at all lmfao
@dementor Actually it kinda does. A physically or mentally tasking job should pay more to cover things like idk the physical and mental therapy that they require as well as allowing them to live comfortably. And since a lot of these jobs involve some not-very-nice things that a lot of people don't want to do on their own (for example, having to directly clean a dog's ass in the case of a groomer) then they are a high demand service, which allows them to charge more. These are valuable services. (and for your information sanitation workers make about $32000 a year on average often for these reasons)
@dementor do gas prices 'magically' go up and down? No. It's supply and demand and it changes
Yes Girl with the Dogs. If grooming was so easy all pet owners would groom their own pets. It's a physically and mentally demanding job. And you groomers deserve the recognition.
As someone who is 5’2”, who owns a pure white, 55lb husky who’s taller than me when he stands, I cannot thank and appreciate our groomer enough 🤣🙌🏻
A job always seems easy when you aren't the one doing it. Well done Dear, you are doing a great job. Sending love all the way from Nigeria ❤️🇳🇬
Ain't that the truth.
As a vet tech, 100% agree with your statements. It's a tough job working with pets, grooming, healthcare, any pet care job, it's physically and emotionally taxing. Most days it's good, but some of the stuff we see is incredibly difficult to deal with. ❤️ Love from another pet care professional
Yup, I'm a horse groom. Taking care of animals is not easy, and we don't really ever get to play with them. Between training, health care, feeding, grooming, the few minutes of play we get with each of our fur friends makes it all worth it! But we certainly can't get rich in this industry!
ER Vet Tech here: This so much! ❤️🐾🌈
One of my relatives had a golden retriever. The first time we visited him, he greeted us with a sofa pillow in his mouth, tail wagging like crazy. We all thought, "O.K. then, not much of a guard dog but surely he could retrieve ?" He had a squeaky toy which he would gently pick up but if it squeaked he would drop it in panic licking the toy to console it. He was absolutely useless as a working dog but he was the greatest friend and my favorite relative.
oh bless how precious 😭
That is the absolute most precious thing I've ever heard. I love he
Omg my heart 😍
"Serial Sitter" LOL, I love this! The dog looks lovely. Thank you for being such an amazing groomer. Your work is appreciated!
My late sister-in-law was a groomer. I know how hard the job is, how hard she worked, and how much she loved her job. She taught me a few things on how to groom my own dog, a sheltie. It can take me as long as 2 hours from start to finish, grooming my boy. I am a dog trainer and I love what I do. I wouldn't want to groom dogs all day. Thank you (all groomers) for what you do.
"We deserve recognition for the hard job that we do" YES girl, advocate for yourself! Always love to see professionals valuing their own work even if customers don't.
🙌🏻
Always know your worth!!!!
That's precisely why I hire somebody to do it for me. Couple that with the fact that my dogs' faces get very loud when they're at the groomer, and your groomer damn sure deserves a good tip.
Never have I ever taken a groomer for granted. The entire reason we started hiring grooming services was the total hassle it was to try and bathe our dogs ourselves. What three adult people failed to do in three hours, a groomer can accomplish in half that time. Especially now that I have a dog with a water phobia. We thank you for your services, groomers!
Gave my dogs a bath once, and now they no longer follow me into the bathroom. It's been two years, and neither one of them will go into that bathroom. They'll happily follow you into the other bathroom, just not the one where the dreaded bath took place.
Honestly, before watching your videos, I never realized how much actually goes into grooming my little Rosie. I love her groomer and now I have a whole new appreciation for her/ your craft. Thank you for the time, energy and effort you put in to our beloved fur babies ❤
Had a red-colored Golden Retriever as a child, and I think he was the best companion for a growing child. So much love and so many lessons about responsibility and empathy.
As someone that has and occasional still does groom my own dog I can say this: why are groomers rates the way they are? Cause it's fricken worth it! Koda is a pain in the butt to groom and I know it, the fact groomers greet you at drop off and pick up with a smile and usually only kind words is a testament to their patience as professionals.
I was terrified of dogs when I was a child, so my aunt introduced her friend's old golden retriever to me to help. She was the sweetest dog. I was five years old and this huge dog the size of myself would just put her head on my lap because goldens = lapdogs. She let me pile my stuffed animals on her. I have so many fond memories of her.
Nice story.
As a home groomer having worked on giant schnauzer, standard poodles, and now minis, I thank you sincerely for acknowledging how physically demanding grooming is. As I've aged, I realized I could no longer groom standard poodles so have down sized as my last big boy passed away. I appreciate how patient and knowledgeable you are and can unequivocally state the prices charged by groomers is hard earned and deserved.
I've never lived with a dog, nor have I ever had any of my cats groomed, but I find your channel incredibly informative and interesting!
I'm sure that anyone who watches will realise that your work is very demanding and could only be done this well by someone with immense dedication and patience, and a real love for animals.
Thanks for all the smiles!
It’s upsetting how people who have jobs with animals( groomers. Trainers. And especially vets) are treated. Everyone thinks the jobs are easy, simple jobs that just involve playing and having a great time with animals.
Thanks for everything you do!
I would never think that being a vet is easy. I think most people assume the same. Or is it different in your country?
@@slouberiee it’s a common misconception in america. i’m currently in college studying to be a vet and there are people talking about how easy it is but in reality it’s one of the hardest professions.
It's the same for every job that's associated with hobbies/fun. People have a hard time realizing that stuff they do to relax after work for 1 or 2 hours is on a whole other level than doing the same activity professionally for several hours every day. I'm an artist/designer and I can't count the times people wanted free shit from me because "drawing is just a hobby". I work as a tattoo artist now which is one of the few art related professions people actually understand the prices and even here I have clients who are like "can you do a Design for me and THEN I see if I want an appointment?" like.... I'm not gifting you hours of my labour lol. The audacity of some people is unreal sometimes.
@@carolynross3372 Constantly dealing with loss and death is very rough..Seeing so many animals hurt and sometimes unable to do anything about it is tough too. Vets go through so much and I fully respect them for staying strong through it!
@@cfol4437 yeah, it's different when you commission the artist for a tattoo design and pay them up front (or down payment plus then the rest after completion but too many times people try to pull out after the piece is finished so I'm for the paying in full up front), and then determine if you want to follow through on an appointment (with the artist, of course, keeping the rights to the design until the tattoo is actually done; or the piece is bought outright at an appropriate xD price.)
But asking for basically a free commission that you can take anywhere to any artist is just skeevy and selfish. Like as much as I want tattoos right now a) I know I can't afford it (funemployment isn't fun lmao) and b) I would like to find an artist who I can commission first before wasting their time by not booking an appointment if I chicken out. Plus that way they get paid and I can further clarify what I would like in my pwn mind if their style isn't my endgame jam.
I used to be a dog washer at a groomer and I was exhausted by the end of the day bc every pet has its own temperament and needs not to mention the ones that require more physical labor bc they're either walking potato sacks or bing bonging like a pinball out of your grasp.
🤣
A good groomer is definitely worth their weight in gold. A person who doesnt appreciate their groomer, doesnt really like their dog, who should be their most precious possession - or actually, part of their family
I work at a dog groomers I’m just a bather but it’s hard work for sure worth it but my back hurts so bad now lol. And yes goldens are definitely cereal sitters lol 😂
you deserve all the respect, grooming is a hard job, and you've done it amazingly
Mad respect to you. I couldn't be a groomer because I get too attached. I'd be a wreck everytime one of my furfriends passed away. Luna was a lovely lady who I'm sure brings sunshine and smiles to all who meet her after all that's what goldens are.
That's exactly the same reason I decided not to be a vet. I am a sentimental bitch, I would never be able to care for an animal for 15 years and then have to put it down.
I feel you I'm a groomer and for 6 years this lady brought her pit bull and her beagle to my shop and about a month ago she had to rush her beagle to the hospital because she noticed she(the beagle) wasn't barking as much anymore. And the vet told her just to spoil the hell out of her because she wasn't going to make it. She had cancer in her throat and it was to late to treat it and the beagle was already 15 years old. And just last week she came in and only had her pit bull with her. She came to the back office and cried telling me she died. I cried with her and now I make sure to make her pitty smell as amazing as possible so that she's happy.
@@kazuyamiyuki7061 you are so kind to your customers. You can help them deal with loss because you feel it too. Groomers are great.
I am so blessed my pup has an amazing groomer. I can imagine her clients feel the same way! Water, electricity, and product is not free!!! Always tip as generous as you are able!
This has quickly become one of my favourite channels. Not only are the dogs (and occasional cats) you groom adorable, your commentary is so educational and professional and it's really amazing what an intuition for their behaviour and body language you have. I've never owned a dog but I hope I will be able to in the future, and watching these videos has taught me so much, and that there are a lot more differences between breeds than I ever thought.
Golden retrievers: the only breed where you have to teach them to stand, instead of to sit
Don't forget Black Labs!
Wow! I didn’t realize the “serial sitter” was a trait of Goldens. I thought my beloved Brandy was the only one that did that!
My brother's dog is a mutt, and as a puppy, I would try to take him for walks, we would go a short distance, then he would sit and not want to move. Lol.
I think it is trait of all retrievers, my old labredor did it too.
I feel like it's the equivalent of a toddler turning into a wet noodle when they don't want to do something.
We've had Goldens over the years and our current Golden, Ollie, makes our groomer work hard for his money that's for sure. Our previous groomer retired early as her shoulders and hands just became too painful after years of dog washing and grooming. You make some valid points. (especially the sitting part!)
Dog sitter here.. so funny that you said that,.. I have a pulled shoulder, two bites and injured back that all happened this week. Definitely takes a lot of patience. Love your videos & sense of humor girlie. ❤🤗
I've got a white Golden Retriever called Daisy. She's a sweetheart (Unfortunately not among other dogs. As she wasn't socialised by her previous owners.) And Luna is a amazing name for a dog.
White Retrievers are so beautiful!
@@vishakhabh.6341 Ya, white goes well with any colour. Though my late GR is a male, we arrange a tiara of flowers on him. My bro had the idea when a flower dropped on his head while he was sniffing around. 😄

People generally think that almost everyone else's job is easier than their own its basic human stupidity
This channel gave me a better relationship with my dogs groomer. I’m not worried about dropping my dog off because I know what’s happening. Which makes me more relaxed to be there for my little one
Anyone who has bathed and groomed their own dog themselves can understand the back breaking work groomers go through. Our hats are absolutely off to you. I know I couldn't do it day in and day out. ❤ Your content and quirky comentary. Happy holidays to you! 🤶🎅⛄
I use a self service dog bath at a pet store to bathe my Labrador, and it's a battle Royale. OK, I'm exaggerating ... a bit.
I love my groomer, April. I used to do my three border collies myself, but as I’ve gotten older (and they’ve gotten older) it’s more difficult (I feel you about the back strain). So I have April and her mobile grooming salon come by monthly. She is a saint and does a wonderful job on my three - they go into the van tail wagging, happy to see her, and come out looking, smelling, and feeling wonderful. She has great patience because I have a sitter, a licker, and an old girl who just belly flops on the table. It is expensive, but my pups benefit health wise, I benefit fitness wise, and the house benefits hair-free (relatively) wise. Money well spent.
Before we bought our toy poodle many years ago, we took the grooming costs into account. Our groomer was fabulous and we always tipped her well so she knew how much we appreciated her.
Sadly we had to let our little girl of 17 years go two years ago after she suffered a couple of seizures, she is still badly missed.
armpitfuzz, you are a wonderful human being 😊 🤗
aw poor baby, don't worry she is in doggy heaven with my dogs Oden Thor and Loki. (Yes I am an Avengers fan and yes odin and Loki are appropriately named) The four of them are probably chasing cats and rolling around in the mud.
I never realized how much goes into grooming until I started watching your channel. Thank you for educating me.
You're absolutely right about the wear and tear - I worked as a kennel attendant for a vet/boarding place as my first real job for a year or so and it was hell on my joints and back, and I was only 17 at the time; only thing that made it worth it was working with the animals. Even then, some animals were stubborn or just hard to work with, it's definitely not just all playing with puppies.
I'm so proud and happy watching you stand up for groomer's everywhere with your influence. Your job is so hard and so important. You deserve all the recognition you can get.
I have a friend who has been grooming pets for almost 40 years. Her daughters are grown and now help out a lot. It's an exhausting job. I hope she can retire soon. Bless you all.
The absolute bliss on her face as you cleaned out her ears though
I bet that felt so good
My daughter loves watching your videos. Her favorite one is with fredo the dramatic husky. I love watching her play groomer with her stuff dogs. Especially taking walks outside. She always wants to know what breed the dog is. Thank you for inspiring my daughter and opening up her love for dogs
Congrats for raising a wonderful human.❤ Animal lovers who are eager for new knowledge grow into the most interesting people.
Yep! Former groomer here. I've got nerve entrapment in both elbows. I've had every bodily substance from a dog on me, and a I have few scars. Looked forward to my job every day. Now I work with people. Hate it.
When I had a dog, he loved going to his groomer. He was half Shepherd and half Sheltie. She spoiled him rotten and he was so happy when he was there. Groomers can point out problems an owner might not have noticed. I definitely appreciate groomers and I accept it's a cost of owning a dog.
You folks are awesome. Thanks for your necessary work.
You are just so entertaining and you educate fur parents when needed. I love your channel and I especially love, love, love your commentating. Your hilarious.😂😂😂😂😂
As someone who had to break into my own house more than once, I can attest they will bring you a toy while climbing on through a window. They are excited, they gleefully say "rob us, rob us!"
Did they say, "Welcome, hooman, what would you like to have? Maybe I can retrieve it for you?" 😆

I had nothing but the utmost respect for groomers prior to finding your fantastic channel and now that respect is only deeper. People dont like going to the dentist or doctor but we have restraint to not punch or bite those trying to aid us. Some dogs dont have that restraint. Bless your soul 💗
Groomers are wonderful for doing all the hard work to make our doggos look great. But I am sure that a dentist can get bitten. 🙂🐶❤
Our local grommer have set up their grooming stations behind a glass wall so owners can watch how hard a job it is.
Excellent idea...the groomer that thought of this was very smart. Bet that place is busy all the time...cause who wouldn't want to watch.
I love what you do and have the greatest respect for the care u give to our family members needing that special treatment only you can provide. Thank you and merry Christmas to you.
I just adore you and your dry sense of humor when telling us the characteristics of the pet you're grooming. I hadn't thought about how hard it is to groom dogs. I have 4 of them but only 2 have long fur/hair.
I have groomed my golden myself almost the whole time I've had him--he's 9. Can confirm the back pains are REAL. He sits down in the bath because he's afraid of slipping, and also just to express how over it he is! If you lived near me, I'd gladly empty my wallet to you to have my dog groomed! Thanks for all the great vids!
My 8 month old Great Pyrenees is apparently also a serial sitter/layer.
I gave him his first bath 2 days ago (I'd been dreading it). I got him wet, got some shampoo in my hands, leaned over to apply and my back immediately started hurting lol.
Same! Groomers are saints and I can second the back pain. My golden hides seated in the corner every bath.
As a UPS drivers wife and Christmas driver helper I feel the same way you do this time of year. Tired exhausted and under appreciated. sweet doggy :)
Hello dear
How are you doing today?
Just hearing your commentary and watching you work is oddly very soothing. Thanks.
A good grooming is worth the price for sure! You’re so informative and I’m always astonished at just how much I don’t know about different breeds, and tips to help keep our dogs in the best grooming health possible! Thanks for the joy! 🤗💕
My yellow Labrador Retriever was shocking for the serial sitting every time he had a bath. It drove me nuts lol.
I admit I didn't realise how difficult a groomers job is, especially because the grooming show I saw on TV showed very well behaved pets that stood patiently while the groomers did what they needed to. After getting long-haired guinea pigs and cutting their hair myself I realised that the bending, stretching and patients required was immense. It's very difficult to cut hair when it walks away from you or wants to have a good sniff at the scissors or screams bloody murder when gently brushing :/ You do an amazing job!

LOL...spot on! Clever Quip😆
I’ve been binging your content the last two days and Love it all. My husband and I own and operate a janitorial business and I told him the other night after cleaning five places that day and aching everywhere, “I think pet groomers have a more physical job than we do!” I don’t have any pets due to severe allergies in my husband and one of my sons, but i appreciate you and your hard work!
I absolutely love this channel this groomer is so funny she never fails to make me smile and even laugh out loud. I always tick like and I’ve subscribed keeps these funnies coming. Thank you
"Serial Sitting," Never even knew that was a thing LOL
My lab mix does the same thing. His first defense against unwanted activities is to sit
Always so nice to see an animal feel so much better being all clean and tidy. It must be a big relief when you have no hands. :)
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all you do. 💕❤️🐾
My yellow Lab is a sitter from way back too! I absolutely understand the tole it can take on your back, shoulders, and wrists! Thank you and every single groomer and Vet tech out there for all you do!!! ❤❤❤
You taught me what a groomer should be doing. I've taken my dogs to groomers and they have never returned looking anything like what you produce. I never balked at the price, I just figured that it is what it is. For that I thank you.
I hear ya about the complaints about over charging and 'playing with animals all day'. We farriers get pretty much the exact same complaints as well from some folks. Some are understanding and are happy to pay what ever and try to make the job easy for us by having the horse caught and ready when we arrive, we love those clients
What. Complaining *farriers* over charge? You're the guys that deal with hooves, right? Like. Taking care of Giant, extremely strong prey animals that could seriously hurt you if you make a mistake, or be seriously hurt if you make a mistake while doing your work? Like... do *the owners* wanna try doing it themselves?? I'm scared of horses so I can't even imagine doing what you do every day, of course you should charge accordingly for the skill you've developed over your time working AND the dangers involved in your work???
@@AoiLucine yup, we are the horse feet caretakers and shoers
yeah, not everyone complains about the price and such but some do. And we can get hurt even if we don't make a mistake, if something out of our control spooks the horse, it can potentially be harmful to us.
Wow. Given just the specialised skills involved, and ignoring the sheer physical work entailed, I can't imagine why anyone would think farriery would come cheap?! 😳 Basically farriers design & fit not just shoes, but orthotics for horses - if you have a working draught horse or one who spends a lot of time on hard surfaces (or one who has an unusual gait pattern), their work can be the difference between having a healthy horse and one that becomes lame for life!
really?? thats awful!! especially considering the amount of back pain you get from bending over for hours on end along with the strength needed to deal with 1000lb animals!! im an equestrian and im definitely the kind of person to have the horse caught and ready before arrival! i appreciate your work!
Everyone expects everything to be free or cheap nowadays, regardless of the extreme amount of physical exertion that goes into the work they’re paying for. It’s stupid, unfair and frankly inhumane to expect someone to risk serious injury daily for mere pennies.
I love how you explain why it's expensive and necessary. Your commentary on the video is my favorite part. Thank you for all you do for the animals and to educate us. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I'm sure most appreciate the care, love and detail yall give to peoples pets, and it's easy to tell who are the good groomers and the careless ones.
I absolutely salute my pet groomers. When you observe the grooming staff at any salon, you will seldom see anyone still working past their 40's. It is a very physical job, especially with the large breed dogs.
When it comes to the rates I just have to remind myself that it's not going to be as cheap as going to get a haircut at first choice. But I will say watching your videos certainly educated me further on how difficult it can be.
Amen @Girl With The Dogs on the toll caring for pets takes. I own a dog walking and pet sitting business for 13+ years now. I love it, and I also feel it more and more in my body. Thank you for preaching. :-)
Thanks for the reminder! I have a grooming appointment today. I will be sure to appreciate her. We love her as I am sure all your people and fur babies love you. ❤
A friend's mother was a highly sought professional dog groomer, and he told me about how she retired early due to the physical toll grooming took on her. I didn't truly understand until I saw your videos.
You deserve every penny. New to your channel and love it so much. You care and dedication is undeniable.
Thank you for the explanation about your job. It is easy to think like you said, you play with puppies all day. But a deeper look at your videos shows the effort you put in. As well as the compassion and knowledge. Top notch.
Professional grooming is worth every penny....you guys work HARD and perform miracles!
I know the difficulties my groomer goes through with my dog... which is why she goes to a groomer! I always apologize profusely but they tell me she is well behaved. I guess it is different when I do it, plus she knows how to get her way with me.
My sister is a dog groomer, and I respect her, you and all the groomers out there. Thank you for sharing your hard work and dedication to all the dogs and cats. 😀😺🐶
Hello 👋 dear, how are you doing?
Thanks for mentioning the challenges of your job. I think everyone get´s an idea that it can be quite exhausting. And what allways fascinates me is your patience and the sixth sense of what your four legged clients need. Thanks
Thank you for educating us pet owners, Vanessa! You have honestly changed my perception of groomers.
I’d never really stopped to consider what groomers go through - except for those occasions when I heard about small dogs getting their bones snapped while at the groomers and thinking my god what kind of a monster would do such a thing! But watching your videos has really opened my eyes to how such incidents can happen, and how much patience and care groomers put into their work 👍
I just wanted to say, THANK YOU! This video is a must for any pet owner who uses a groomer. My best friend is a pet groomer and a lot of times clients don’t understand the magnitude of some grooms. They can take a lot longer than others so they have to charge more. Grooming can be very difficult and challenging as well as very rewarding.
Hello 👋 Cheri, how are you doing?
Your narration makes each grooming story unique and entertaining :)
Not just against groomers, they sit at home also. It was so tough to wash my golden when I had one, especially after she had been playing in the mud LOL thank you for taking care of Luna
