"Toby, relax. You're making me nervous."
Oh, the irony.
its seems wrong but its actualy beneficial you dont excite him and he gets to get down faster dont forget ITS IS 1ST EVER
What a way to instill confidence, right? 🙄
Yawning outside of boredom or fatigue means stress, not dislike. He's nervous and confused. He doesn't understand the clippers or the grooming table, but he's trying to cooperate as he understands it. He could be taught fairly quickly and easily what you need him to do to make your job easier and he'd probably be pretty compliant but he doesn't yet understand. You're telling him you aren't happy with some things he does ("No!" "Stop!") without being explicit about explaining or showing him what you want instead. This breed is particularly biddable and teachable.
He'd also be more compliant if he was chill instead of worried. That communication issue and unfamiliarity with you and with the process are where the stress is coming from. Address the stress and the grooming will be easier and safer for you both.
I about fainted when you took clippers to him because GSDs are supposed to be wash and wear, clipping only the bottoms of the feet and a sanitary if needed, but that's between you and his peeps. I mention this in case anyone else finds this video in a search for information on GSD grooming and thinks this is standard procedure or recommended grooming for the breed. It's not.
Spot on comments. Well said.
he's half collie. the mats were too strong so she just shaved everything.
@@kmontazer I couldn't finish watching, he is so stressed.
Agree with everything you said. Many very valid points....you definitely understand dog behaviors.
Strangely enough, he has the face of a corgi!
I have a Swedish Vallhund - they are what they breed corgis from. Everyone thinks he’s a German shepherd
Really. This completely doesn't look like German shepherd 🤔🤦♀️
@@juvetafrolovaite I'd say he's a Shiloh Shepherd or crossbreed. Certainly incorrect colour for any German Shepherd. Beautiful boy though.
I know right!
He looks like a large version of my boy, Kiska. Kiska is a corgi/huskie mix.
Would a rubber mat covering the table help to make him feel secure? No paw slippage.
I think his long nails were making him slip. It was better after the nails were trimmed. I wondered if he had to pee. LOL I also would think that rubber on the table would NOT be good just because the hair/fur might stick. That metal table looks easy to sweep clean.
That (rubber mat) sounds ideal!!!
Mary Kowalski I mean the rubber mat would be best if they had she had a small powerful shop vacuum it would get the hair off the rubber mat in no time.
Definitely needs a rubber mat.
What a cute face this Pooch has, so friendly looking
Thanks for showing the bath. I don't know why that's my favorite part. Beautiful dog!
Because I've never been a professional dog groomer, the favorite part of the bath (for both dog, and human) was drying them off with the towel!! PARTY TIME! Running, playing, rolling, & playing bull/matador!

skydnay your dog is very beautiful!
Thank you for finding me, driving all that way, and your amazing and so generous tip. Thank you CZcams for making this come alive! You are the best girlie! He was amazing!
Did you discover the red spots source yet?
My Australian Shepherd has that same kind of coat and it's so thick during the winter. He also hates, hates, hates being brushed. He sits and dances around and takes the first escape he can. I need to have him shaved due to all the mats. Great job!
skydnay Is he a GSD and Husky? I have a GSD, and also have a Husky mix. That use of his paws to touch Dede reminds me of a Husky trait. He's very beautiful.
That is one tap dancing dog! Made the groom and bath twice as difficult as it needed to be! Nice job though! I brush just like you did during the bath. I find it distributes both the shampoo and the conditioner through the coat much better than just using your hands.
Love seeing the pet reunited with the pet parents! And the bath. Thanks for including those. Love from England! X
We try, it takes more time :) But, we do hear what you all want :)
It's a German shepherd and Collie mix. You did fabulous
Honestly, I was either thinking shep-collie or belgian shepherd! What a beautiful boy~ :)
Tenebrae Epsilon your right Belgian shepherd
I know what it is it's a great Dane I know dogs period
He does have a very Collie-esque face
I thought the same thing! I have a German Shepherd/Border Collie, and the features look very similar!
I do not understand anything past brush, wash, brush, and nail clipping on this dog. Just my opinion. Nothing against the groomer....I just don't get the owner. I had a German Shepherd/Collie Mix who had the same hair growth. Brushing (esp. after winter) was our bond! That thick hair in the back actually brushes out! She hated me brushing her butt, BUT she was always really good! Her "blaze" in the front, and the extra hair on the legs, rear, and face....they were part of her beauty. I can't imagine cutting them off. This was such a sweet dog! ;) Great job MFG!
straightforward it depends on how much time is spent out doors and what they get into. If he enjoys water and mud this would be easier to wash and dry.
It seems the live in a hotter climate. I know Dede is stationed in Texas. So the thick fur isn’t ideal for that. She did make it look nice and blended in the end. But it’s more for practicality. I know my aussies will need a big chop since the weather is heating up where I live Im more concerned about them not over heating when we’re outside than the aesthetic of it all
I don’t think this groomer knows what a pair of scissors are. He really just needed trimmed and have trimming shears on his hind legs and chest to think blend it all out and even it out.
My favorite part is when you clean the ears and and pull the hair out of the ears
I love him dancing and I appreciate seeing tools used to de-shed. I don't have a long haired German Shepherd, but I do want to get her shedding under control as much as I can😅
Big dog with an even bigger personality and smart too. I think the constant wiggling was intentional to avoid the dog up-stand. I want him! lol
Dede, I have always taught my dogs to shake on command during bath time. They way you placed your hand on his head to stop the shake was great. Then I would have said shake as I took my hand away and given a hand command to go with it. Many dogs get it right away. May give you a few extra seconds. Of course you don’t have a shower curtain to protect yourself. Lol
He was lookin at u when he was getting a bath, the look of adoration was so cute and then he gave you kisses and it was sooooooo cute. Want one.
Thank you Dede for your insight and helpful tips. I took my Big Bernese to the local pet supplier where I can groom and wash him. I used your technics including a good deshedding and brushing before his bath. What a difference!
Thanks for your videos Dede I’ve a long haired German shepherd and started using the comb and brush and has made a huge difference
Love watching your videos Dede. I’ve been a groomer for 11 years and have my business for 10 years and let me tell ya by watching your videos I’m learning a lot more and using your techniques on my clients and they are a lifesaver and not only that makes my grooming go faster. So Dede THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart, keeping sharing. Oh yeah I even shopped in your online store about an hour ago and bought some supplies even bought 2 groomers mask can’t wait to try them out....
awwww, thank you so much! So cool! Please let me help you when you need tools girl! Godspeed with your business! www.myfavoritegroomer.com/shop
Absolutely! How do I get ahold of you for any help, advice or grooming tips?

My sister is getting a Husky and German Shepard mix, my sister is busy with work, church, and her bf sometimes. So I'll be helping out a lot with her dog by walking it and grooming and feeding it and making sure it stays happy and healthy.
After watching your German Shepherd grooming vids I went to your website to order products from you (throwing out some support), and you have the best prices I've found, by far.
As a fellow groomer I loveeeeee watching these. It’s so soothing yet super informative! I learn all sorts of tips and tricks and next time I need some supplies I’ll make sure to come to you (new sub. Just found you!!) I love the trick of lifting their hind legs to get them to not lift the front. Genius!!!
Oh my gosh that dog is beautiful
Great video! Thank you for providing all this info. My shepherd behaves exactly the same when I'm trying to clean him up, so this has provided some ideas for the future.
Oh my gosh, I love the little wisps on the sides of the face that you trimmed off at the end of the video. It gives them an angelic look.
His face! " lady WHAT are you doing to me!?!" 😂😂. What a beautiful dog ❤
This was so stressful to watch. Stop talking to the camera and comfort the dog by talking to him
He’s really cool looking! He looks like a husky-colored GSD!! So cute!
It's not a pure GSD it's a collie GSD CROSS
Dede you are so humble!!! Love Toby too!
This is work-pride, true work ethic! Beautiful work made by a true professional!
When you said are you dancing?😂 that made me laugh so much! You are so good at handling difficult dogs! Love your humorous side💗🙏
What a gorgeous dog!
They need to try aquaphor on those sore places and redness. It was recommended to me for my pup that gets red, dry and sometimes sore places and first time I tried it before bedtime the next morning his belly looked wonderful! I did put a doggie shirt over him so he wouldn't lick but huge improvement using the aquaphor! Awesome job Dede on the dancing guy 😆
Oh, thanks for the tip! I'd never heard this before, but I'll put some on him (if he'll let me!) and see what happens.
skydnay I hope it helps like it helps my boy. Winter months are the worst for him so it does wonders. You have a sweet dog, I love his prancing and dancing 😄
I hope it helps Toby just as much! And thank you! The dancing is sure is cute until you need him to be still. ;)
I've never heard of using this on a dogs! Not complaining, just never heard of it lol. I use this product when I have a fresh tattoo to help it heal!
Your grateful heart makes me smile💖😊
Toby the Tap Dancer !
Beautiful coloring, such a sweet boy.
He looks awesome!! Man - he sure wriggled around!
should invest in a dog shammy for after their bath, soaks up the water and you can rinse it out like a sponge! good for getting a lot of the wet off before using towels and a dryer:)
What a beautiful Dog 🐶 You did great with him. I wished you all lived here in California Bay Area.
Loved seeing the parents reaction at the end.
Beautiful dog
He's so adorable!
dede deserves all the best
You do dangerous work with so much skill, Dede! Working with scissors and a constantly moving dog is not easy! Kudos!👍👌
Great job! Beautiful dog.
Great job and video Dede ( and David).
What an amazing job you did!
Aww. I love Toby 💖 hope the parents found out what was causing the scabs and sores. I was just wondering if you could add the pet parents reaction when they see their groomed babies. Obviously as long as they are happy to be on camera. It would be lovely to see their reaction to all of your hard work. 😘
What a beautiful dog, not sure I've ever seen one like him.
My male German Shepherd had lesions like that around his belly/inner thighs and we switched his food to Gentle Giants -Salmon Feast and got topical foam and he never had them again.
I love German shepherds so much 😍 they're so beautiful. The one I have now looks like a gray wolf
Beautiful Shepherd! You made him look even more beautiful. I have bought some tools and would really like to help shelter dogs. Your explaining everything is wonderful! I only get a once a month check, (I’m a geezer), but I certainly want to buy at least 3 things from you! Love your smile and happy disposition!! I can see a couple of times how an 8hr day can be exhausting. Not just because of the work, but the wear and tear on the body. I could never do that many dogs in one day. I LOVE your videos and can’t wait for the one you said you’re putting out for us starters! Cool!
I would love your support. Thank you so much! It means a lot to me.

THANKS FOR TEACHING ME MORE ABOUT DOGS, GROOMING AND OUR BEHAVIORS WITH THEM THAT MAKES LIFE WITH DOGS AND ALL ANIMALS SPECIAL!!!!!✨✨✨✨✨✨
awww, Happy Belated birthday, I love this comment! xoxox
Such a beautiful guy. You both did a great job.
Aw! He was a really good boy! He is beautiful!!!
Gorgeous dog ❤️
You did awesome and you were so calm and patient in the meantime, tho I do have a question. Have you ever groomed a Great Pyrenees?
Great job! That's a big dog! Our one senior dog passed about a month ago. We thinking about getting a Husky.
He looks gorgeous!!! Thanks for the heads up on thos ad’s I didn’t know u get credit for it if we watch it all the way threw...see I learn something new everyday girl....🤓👀
Thank you girlie! No problem :) I watch the ads too!
Yeah, I didn't know either. I will watch them all the way through then. ; )
He looks at you with so much love lol ❤️
OMG Dede. I had to laugh a bit because it was as if the two of you were doing a dance lol. Great job!
A better thing to do is get a rubber mat and put it under him, and stop being loud that kind of scares the dog (i might be wrong about her being too loud, for me she was loud. My opinion) , try to get the dog get used to being around the shavers without it being on and just rub it around their fur and body parts so they feel more secure about it and then turn it on so they get used to the sound, then maybe the dog will stop moving so much. I hope this helped! I love you and your channel
Oh my goodness. This dog acts exactly like mine does when I am trying to brush or bath him. Drives me nuts. He even will put his paw on me, as if begging me to stop (like Toby does). It is like an anxiety thing or something. Toby is so pretty. Looks to have some collie mixed in with the German Shepherd. Beautiful and so sweet. Wished I lived near Dede, I would sure bring my Australian Shepherd to her to help me work with him. Dede, you have a gift.
He is such a beautiful and sweet dog. 😍😘
He’s a beauty!!!!
Have you ever tried using the LIP grooming arm system to attach the back end. ? I was so nervous watching him move on that table.
Yip it was frightening watching him skid about on it, sliding off into the bath. An injury waiting to happen. I wouldn’t use this set up to wash my shepherds.
Fantastic job.
Love this video. I will definitely do this technique to my dog with washing.
Awww, he's such a sweet boy. It's almost like he's saying "if I'm cute will you stop?" lol. You could see he wanted to give her some kisses during the first cut, so I'm glad he got some love after. I think dad is right about the collie in there, those ears! that sweet face! Beauuuutiful baby.
Wow that dog is crazy beautiful
Owners found me on youtube!!! How cool is that.
Shout out from Little Elm! Pretty boy and great job! We're going to be getting a German Shepherd puppy so we may stop by in the future!
Handsome fella, had me a little nervous at first Lol 🐾🐾🐾
He has a beautiful tail.
He is so beautiful
Methinks you have met your match in the German Shepard. Bless you!
First off the owners should never have let him get in that state. A very professional grooming and a beautiful dog. His face and colouring are very close to our GSD puppy. GREAT VIDEO WELL DONE...
Gorgeous pup..... 🥰♥️
Toby loves you so much!!!
A beautiful dog very sweet💗💞💖💕💓❤🐶
Dede! I wish I lived in Texas, because I'd want to be right by your side for like 2 weeks so I could learn your style,or have you help find my thing! Great video
Thank you love
I love how you distract him😂 "Yeaah.. Smell that!" 😂💗💗👍👍👍
he is very sweet
Great video! Can I ask of clipping downward damages his coat? I have a mid/ long coat shepherd that gets matts in his back legs but will not allow them to be brushed out.
matts hurt to be brushed, shave out then keep the legs at a 2 guard. www.myfavoritegroomer.com/product-page/oster-comb-attachment-10-piece-set-metal
awesome!
Cruz ✝️. You a hard worker!! It’s a Big. Dogs 🐶!!! Like a woofs !!
Why is he being clipped ? Everything I have read and researched says to Never shave a double coated dog , could you p,ease explain .
wendy Taylor in another comment i read she said if the owner asks for them to be clipped she will she’s not clipping to the skin and it’s not bad for their health if maintained with proper grooming
because she's a terrible groomer and has 0 idea what she's doing. She regularly shaves double coated dogs and completely disregards all the evidence that says you should never do that. Just watched a video of her shaving a Cairn terrier, wire coated terriers should never be shaved, they need to be hand stripped!
Thanks for the video.
The things groomers say to dogs I have noticed my grandmother saying because she used to be a dog groomer and says those things to us all the time lol.
What a good boy ! Such a handsome boy ❤️
That's a smart dog when you said one more Paul you're doing great he knew exactly what you said and reacted like man I don't know you got every watch it
The doggie is so cute
He’s so cute omg 😍
