I can imagine him thinking, with a grin, "Yeah. I know". 😁
That's just what a Samoyed's face looks like, they're perpetually smiling.
My friend has a Samoyed, I though that he was just being overly cautious when he was blow drying his dog but now I know that he's just being a responsible pet owner! 😂 Absolutely gorgeous dogs, so cuddly and friendly. 🥰❤🥰
It’s really cool that you can verbalize this. Allowing your perspective to be changed with new information in a great attribute to have.

I’m just making a joke from the video so no hate. Your last name is a disaster💀
My Grandparents raised samoyeds. We had a neighbor that would brush out our dog and then spin the furn into yarn. My Mom knit a hat and scarve out of it for my Dad. They were too warm to wear inless -15°F. The yarn was beautiful though.
Would it smell of dog if it got wet??
@@crazypianolady The fur is no longer attached to the dog and the source of oil glands. So with a gentle hand wash in a mild soap like Woolite the yarn shouldn't have any doggy smell.
@@crazypianolady it was throughly washed. Just like wool from sheep doesn't stink once cleanec properly.
@@crazypianolady Actually samoyed don't smell of dog, it's more like when you wash a woolen blanket.
Yeah, Samoyed yarn is the warmest in the world.
I was going to spin my dog's fur into yarn because I wanted a sweater that I could finally wear around my dogs.
4 hours? That is a saint of a dog for being that well behaved through the entire process. You did an outstanding job.

He was patient for 4 hours what a good doggo😭♥️
I was a vet nurse. We had a Sammy come in with severe itching. Dog looked all but defeated by the pain.
Turned out to be flyblow, completely hidden under the matted hair round his tail base.
We gave a G/A, shaved the area and one by one tweezed out dozens of maggots from the holes they had chewed in his skin.
It was the most gut wrenching thing I ever had to do.
Took 6 months for the skin to fully heal.
Then, when the owner finally realised that the hair would never grow back on the damaged area, he wanted the dog put down because he wasn’t pretty to look at any more.
Special circle of hell for that bloke, I’m sure.
If you can’t perform basic maintenance on these floofs, DON’T GET THEM.
What the f is wrong with those ppl !
The main problem of people is that they get dogs as pets "for beauty and relax." But the dog is an assistant. But even for beauty, the breed must be carefully chosen under the conditions of content and climate. For this, there are more than enough breeds, and it is pointless to have a crossbreed and outbred. But people are stupid.
omg that's awful!!!! Not only the dog had to go through that, but after all you guys did, the owner wanted to end his life because he was shaved?! What a POS! I hope the dog got rehomed to someone who would appreciate taking care of the poor baby!
Absolutely crazy to know that people would do that. My family and I have a 3 year old samoyède and he goes to the groomer 1 to 2 times a month ( if really needed) and is brush 2 times a week even if we don’t have a lots of time of work, school ext, we will always prioritize this little fur balls of joy .
🤦 What's wrong with people!
This is my area of expertise! I used to run sled dogs up in Alaska. Samoyeds, Huskies, Wolf cross breeds were a few breeds that I rescued and trained. We had a very large barn that I had taken a section of and turned it into a grooming station. It took two of us to do five dogs a day. Many people don't know about the Samoyan breed. That they are very useful sweet dogs. Also their fur can be turned into yarn to make lovely sweaters and other Angora type outfits. All the fur needs is brushing out, collecting and piled up to take to a person who can clean and spin it. I learned how to crochet and knit and later bought my own Spinning Wheel and brushes so that I could make my own yarn. It became a side Hobby that turned into a lucrative business up in Alaska. I still have people 20 years later asking me if I make those wonderful sweaters and hats. That the beautiful white lasts forever. It's easy to wash. it doesn't shrink. You would think you could do the same with Husky fur but, alas huskies are just good for being very talkative, bossy and running. They are great sled dogs and I will forever miss my 20 years. Living in Alaska. As I've moved to the lower 48 states.
Wow, that’s so interesting, thank you for sharing!
Fascinating! Again, thank you for sharing!
Are you still doing this? I'm in Anchorage and those sound lovely.
@@McKavian No, see at the bottom where it says I no longer live there? Not trying to be rude. Sorry if it came off that way.
My grandparents raised, bred, and showed Samoyeds for 30 years and my grandmother used to collect, spin, and knit with the fur/hair too! How cool to find out someone else did this!
I had a Samoyed when I was a kid, he was given to us by an elderly couple that were moving to Arizona, and knew he would be miserable in the heat. He was one of the best dogs I ever had the privilege of knowing. He used to hide from us in the winter when he didn't want to come indoors by lying in the snow with his eyes closed and a paw over his nose. I still miss him after all these years.
"He used to hide from us in the winter when he didn't want to come indoors by lying in the snow with his eyes closed and a paw over his nose" no wayyyyyyy
@@sonny4136 Samoyeds are smart. Not smart enough to hide his tracks though. We'd let him have a few minutes of triumph before rounding him up. Still, A for effort.
I get you, losing a dog especially is hard as dogs are constantly with you, just remember he is in a good place with my little doggo
@@garyowens7454 not even all humans know how to do that
@@hdofu Especially if they are politicians. 🤣
Big props to the owners for choosing what had to be the more expensive option that was the better choice for the dog
well they have an exceptionally tolerant dog. many dogs would be traumatized by an hours long dematting session.
If they'd really wanted to do what's best for the dog, they would have brushed him regularly in the first place. I hope this experience taught them a lesson, but if my years as a groomer are anything to go by, it'll happen again.
@@veryberry39 she literally said in the video why his fur was matted. It wasn't because the owners were to lazy to brush him
Big props to the owners who didn't brush and comb their dog, so it then got matted, and they didn't want it shaved so they made their dog go through 4 hours of uncomfortable dematting
@@creaturecomforts7069 you can’t shave double coated dogs. Ruins their fur and causes health issues.
As a retired groomer, i know how important it is not to shave them, but it is very important for the owner to maintain that coat. Sometimes clients expect miracles.
I hate hate hate shaving a double-coated dog, but sadly (and too often) it's the only humane thing to do because of such severe matting/pelting. I'f possible I'll clipper short instead, but even that can be disastrous for the coat. You just have to educate the h*ck out of the owners so that their poor pup is never in that situation again.
A well-groomed Samoyed is one of the most beautiful dogs ever. You did such a good job!!!
It's a good thing he was an angel temperament wise. Imagine the dramatics of a husky combined with that size and level of matting.
At that point I would hazard a guess that it would likely be easiest on the dog's stress to just go ahead and shave him down and hope it grows back well. A four hour brush out groom on a high anxiety dog is horrible for the dog *and* the groomer.
@@Tsakeli maybe a couple cbd dog treats would help calm them down
I have a Sammy husky mix. We have all the drama sometimes
@@Tsakeli I wonder if they can be shaved in two or even four stages. Maybe it wouldn’t cause the same problems as shaving them all at once?
@@Tsakeli Honestly, at that point it should be done in sessions split up. Its best, if at all possible, to avoid shaving a double-coated dog. It should be an absolute last resort. Because the resulting consequences from shaving can be lifelong, and that is a young dog. I've seen some double-coated dogs that are shaved have to be regularly shaved for the rest of their life, because of resulting skin issues and the coat never growing back right again.
“Hi. You are a mess. Like, an absolute disaster!”

That’s literally what I thought. Like “dang how does she see me?” 😂

Imagine a massive fuzzy dog like that staring at you while you have a breakdown in the corner of the room from this much effort. I feel for them both. 😭
You are hands down one of the best groomers i have seen. ive worked around dozens. you give great advice, with examples and plenty of information that is ACCURATE and not just top 5 myths about the breed. you even address some myths. my long haired brindle chow mix loves grooming (its how i got him to be comfortable with me after his owners surrendered him to us) hes 18 years old and still has his puppy days. first dog of my life, i got him around 8 years old. best thing in the world to me. never imagined to have such companionship in my life.
18 years old? That's amazing!
Wish chows weren't so aggressive cause they are super fluffy
Four hours is so intense! Patience of a saint.
@moo422 The groomer Vanessa and the dog Both! These owners need to invest in the proper blow dryer to help out their beautiful fluff ball :)
I hope she charged extra...
Yes the dog was very patient!
Yeah, _at the very least_ he was _cool_ with the grooming process. Can you imagine what a _nightmare_ it would be to have to groom a dog that matted who fought with her every step of the way?
@@elisemiller13 you can sit with a human blow dryer and alternate between warm and cool while you brush them out with a slicker brush too... not ideal because it can take longer... but working with what you got shows an effort for the dog too :)
"If you own a double-coated dog, you should never shave them." Say it louder for the Pomeranian owners in the back, who think a shaved Pom looks cute or will overheat in summer!
Yes. Years ago, we had a Lab Neuphie and a HEAT Wave over the last two days. He would have had MASSIVE problems with that. October is coming, so his Winter Coat would have come in. Both breeds, which was his Mix, are double Coated and we would have kept him inside before we lost him in the 90's. One day we couldn't find him, and found him in the Crawl Space, which has a Cement Flooring. Niles was never shaved, but we took care of his undercoat when we knew it would be hot, in July & August!
No, no, no Pom owners please! They need their fur to keep them cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
We have a pom and we had to shave him because of surgery- the hair never grew back. We get asked this all the time.
I honestly don’t understand why people think it’s their business to tell someone they can’t or can shave their dog if they want to. Dogs like samoyeds don’t get extreme matting overnight, which means the owners of this dog were not brushing him daily. Why get a dog you can’t upkeep? I see this too often with long haired breeds, and then they cry about the groomer not wanting to spend 3+ hours de-matting their dog.
Personally I think most doodle mixes are unsanitary with a beard and mustaches, but it’s not my place to tell an owner that they shouldn’t have their dog look like that.
There are many reasons why people decide to shave their pets. I rather someone recognize the fact that they can’t keep up with grooming and shave their dog, than keep the hair “for aesthetics” but the poor dog is suffering from matting pulling on their skin.
@@KatanaKatz you do realize doodles are not double coated dogs right?? you shouldn't shave a double coated dog because you will mess up its natural temperature regulation system. doodles/poodles are another story.
i had a samoyed husky mix, named Chinook, who was just...the sweetest dog on the planet. and our family friend we got her from didn't take great care of her, so we offered to take the dog to make sure she had a good home. We had her until she passed away at 15 years old.
They are commonly known as Samhusky, we have one that we rescued.
Omg. He looks like a huge soft toy that has miraculously come to life . Ahhh my heart
The fact that you really did the owners a solid by meticulously removing the matting deserves a praise, and for 4 hours no less. Props to you
Right I hope they tipped her well
@@miranda13c No kidding. That’s not easy. I’m sure she charges depending on either the difficulty of the job or by an hourly rate. Not sure how that usually works.
She’s getting paid for it
@@mermaidmotel3672 because she didn't suggest a full shave like the other groomers did before the owners came to her
@@antiseth3964 for groomers they don't get payed hourly they get payed based on what services the pet parent requests
Thank you for taking a minute to explain that matting isn’t always caused by neglect or bad owners. I prefer to own dogs with a smooth, short coat so this was educational for me
Seriously! Every time my fluffy dog gets mattes I always feel like a bad fur mom. Even if I’m brushing her everyday. This is great info!!! Now I gotta go invest in dryer for my girl 🥰
And the explanation of the double coat was good information, too!
@@sarahjackson2889 idk what dog you have but a lot of the time when ppl wonder why their dogs still matt when they brush everyday it's bc they're not using the right brushes for their dogs coat. just another possible reason you may want to look into, if applicable
Matting is the owners fault and if you are brushing daily and it’s still matted it’s because you are brushing it wrong. That’s it.
@@celestialkhaos that’s not such a big deal :) and I def understand why ppl can’t or don’t want to brush their dogs. It can be difficult: in that case take to groomer more regularly.
The stress cackle and you disappearing behind Harper 2:54 and 3:02 made me laugh. You did a great job on Harper. He is so handsome.
I thought im the only one who does this stressed cackle. Do it everytime im heavily frustrated. It's funny when others do it...not so much when you yourself :D.
4 hours of grooming?! You're amazing! You deserve a medal! Both of you and the cameraman too! The dog looked beautiful when you were done and he looked so happy! Probably all those treats and fresh air - finally! Thanks for teaching us!

They shouldn't be letting their samoyed get matted to that extent in the first place. If you get a long haired double coated dog you should know how to take care of it.
@@EcstaticObsessive did you not hear what she said...?
Can we just appreciate what a good boy this Samoyed had been for the whole four hours?
These breeds love attention and cuddles and that is what he is getting on that session.
Also, probably some relief from the mats.
We used to dry our Samoyeds with Shop Vacs that we put in reverse. That's actually how we blew their coats out at home twice a year. The garage looked like Christmas every time, haha. You did an excellent job, those coats are no joke, and they took us hours as well. Luckily Samoyeds have such patient dispositions, because man are they work, haha.
Also, his aroo-roo at the end sent me, I miss that with our Sammys. 💕
Oh my gosh, the before and after pictures look so different! You did such a good job, Harpers fur looks SO NICE! How do you do it so well?!

And now with this customer you have become a stylist for a fluffy cloud.
What she said about shaving is true. Our lab had to have a big area shaved on his side because of a tumour removal surgery (not a tumour exactly, I just acn't think of a word.) and his fur is still, after abt 7-8 moths, all strange looking in that area.
Depending on his age and health it may still come back completely. I've found it takes multiple season changes/major shed and regrowth cycles before it all looks normal again. My girl had three 2-3 inch square patches shaved on her back/hips for heartworm treatment and it took almost 2 full years for it to come back completely. If any of the areas are still patchy or dry try rubbing vitamin E oil on him. Without their fur that spot can get sunburnt easily or dried out or agitated by just about anything they roll around in.
@@saintsinner6195 Thank you for your advice. He is about 11, so an old boy. The fur is alright, just a bit messy looking. It's not a problem though, seems like it doesn't really bother him. I hope your dog is doing alright!!!

Dog seemed to know exactly why he was there and if anything he seemed relieved to have someone taking all that weight off his body. Such a smart boy.
Is it me or was Harper smiling throughout most of the groom? Such a gentle boy...he barely barked!
That is one of the signature traits of the Samoyeds! Its a trait that helps them not drool so much which in the cold climates they are from can freeze and cause pain or maybe even damage.
Very chill and sweet!
@@Contentmango - I didn’t know that! Why do they bark so much (or tend to bark so much, I know they can be trained to be quiet). Are they hard to train?
@@nathanwilliams2152 That i dont know sorry

Omg I stopped watching before that because I thought it was over. Thanks for letting me know about that gem
It sounded like he was saying thank you 🥰🥰
That melted me instantly
I heard "Thank You", too.
Both the groomer and puppy are very patience.
it's so great that you were able to maintain the dog's general coat shape all while relieving him of his matts! i've seen it way too often where a dog with a long and beautiful coat like this is shaved down because they just didn't have the patience to go through the dog's entire body to get rid of the matting. thank you so much for sharing the process with us!
We used to have a Newfoundland. His hair was his identity. We took him to a groomers with strict instructions that he should be scissor cut only. He was not matted, and his coat was in good shape, just getting a little long. When we picked him up, they had shaved him. They even nicked the back of his neck with the shears. He was mortified. When he got home he dug a hole under a bush in our back yard, and climbed in. That's where he pretty much stayed the whole summer.
Hope you didn't pay those groomers for that botched job.
aww poor boy :(
oh thats just sad
I seriously doubt it was vanity. I think it was the unusual sensation that made him act unlike himself.
What did you do? The same happened to my husky..my first pet and first grooming experience.i just handed him over thinking it will be ok...2 hours later he did not look like a wooly husky they gave him a layeres cut and shaved parts of his fur i was shocked.lesson learned.. i now tell them what to do and not do and i only go to the best groomer in town...btw till now my huskies fur looks layered its been 6 months haha.poor thing

4 hrs...both of you did a good job..patience really is a virtue!! The samoyed really looks good😊
You did a great job, and he was so well behaved. Handsome boy!
imagine how long it would have taken if Harper wasn't such a sweet boy.
He seems to understand his coat is high maintenance and was patient. His he good owners to take care of him so well. Excellent job on grooming, he looks wonderful and I couldn’t tell he had fur removed at all
Yeah I think it’s in part a comment on how his parents take his grooming seriously. If he wasn’t groomed enough he probably wouldn’t sit for 4 hours.
Though even with bad doggos it’s not always that the parents don’t groom them. My dog hates brushes and will only sit for about 5 minutes before she’s done. Then have fun wrestling an 80 pound Aussie/Rott mix who is trying to attack the brush and run away.
As someone who's always had long-haired double coated dogs, I genuinely think they understand that we're trying to help them most of the time.
Yeah, and the comment about “the cottage” makes me think they went on a vacation near a lake or something and just let the dog rub and shake himself dry, not thinking anything of it. But the fact that he was so very tolerant of brushing and has a “usual groomer” makes me think this is a mistake and not long term neglect or anything. He looks beautiful and healthy otherwise.
And a big ass tip 💰
His he?

And people still arguing about shaving them. Here's the deal. In photos of dogs I can tell even after 5 years which double coated dog has been shaved. The most ridiculous is the golden that has been shaved. If you want to shave then get a poodle or doodle. Then make sure you get him clipped 4 times a year. No variance. Because their coat has to be clipped and groomed.

What a sweet, good boy!!! Samoyeds are one of my favorite breeds, next to Shelties- just the warmest personalities… but those double coats are a LOT.
I'm not gonna say their names, but there are groomers on CZcams that show no patience and go straight to shaving double coated dogs.

This lady in the video shaved certain matts because they were “too severe” when a dog has that type of matting all over you have to shave it. Period. The dog she brushed out wasn’t that bad. I’m a professional dog groomer for 15 years.
@@mamathemeat I've seen one go straight to the clipper when the water nozzle didn't manage to remove enough undercoat 😬 I seriously doubt she owns a brush at all. I blocked her channel after that!
@@annejeppesen160 yes but if you are a dog groomer you would understand why you rather something take an 1.5 hours rather than 4 and get paid the same price. Brushing out these dogs takes a while. However, it’s on the groomer to charge for their time and if they aren’t assertive enough they might just try to convince someone to shave it. Sometimes brushing dogs isn’t the groomers thing and that’s understandable.

When my fluffy boy needed to go to the groomers, I'd brush him as best as I could (which could be up to four hours of brushing) before he goes because A) I didn't want to make him look neglected (which he wasn't, he just loved swimming) B) To cut down on the time at the groomers and minimize the cost a bit C) it seemed like the polite thing to do, like brushing your teeth before going to the dentist
We do the same with our Bichon Frise before going to the groomers.

@@Smudgie33 haha, the original content reminded me of people who clean their house before the cleaner comes and then I see your comment!
Same like my miniature poodle loves swimming and his hair always matts up but I don't want him completely shaved down so I always try to brush out the matts that I can before I send him off to be groomed
as a groomer thank you!!!
Me too!
i have a samoyed and they’re VERY high maintenance when it comes to their coats, it’s a lot of work but seeing him happy is worth all the sweating hours cleaning his coat
Absolutely love how calm you keep the “critters” and yourself!!! You are a master of the trade!!❤

I don’t even see how. Shaving doesn’t do any harm to the follicles, new hair will grow, so how?
@@MrsSinkip maybe it only causes issue if it’s the whole body? if it’s for surgery and they shave only a little part it might be okay
@@oricori9160 Maybe, but what would cause these issues in a full body shave which wouldn't also impact a smaller area? I can't think of any mechanism (besides sunburn) that would cause health issues with their skin only when a large area vs a small area is shaved. The myth I've always heard is that it "never grows back correctly" which I know to be false in the several breeds of DC dogs I have personally owned or fostered. If you find confirmation that shaving causes skin issues from a reliable source like a veterinary college then let me know, I'm always looking to learn, but I could not verify these claims myself.
@@MrsSinkip My dog was shaved by the vet for a surgery. 3+ inch fur. Just as small patch around 3x3 inch. That "odd look" is worse when the undercoat grows in faster than the top coat as it is softer. It can make grooming tricky and mats much more likely for a while because undercoat is more wooly, soft, and absorbs more water than topcoat which is supposed to repel water.
It took my dog many months and a second shed to have the fur look right again.
My current doublecoat dog is shorter haired and has like a triple shed season, I swear, he blows his coat hard in May, again in July-August,, then grows thick in the fall.. but when shaved in June he wasn't fully grown back in by October and I live in a northern climate where temps can be freezing by October. His fur remained atypically short in that area (but did have some overcoat coming in) in the winter and was fine in spring. Years later he now has atopic dermatitis that is hard to treat and makes it necessary for him to be clothed for warmth and reduced allergen exposure.
How fast the fur grows back can also depend on where on the body. Short hair on legs and face grows back faster than on the body probably because it gets rubbed off so often. If you want to try it, clip a small patch on various points on a dog's body and monitor the heck out of it and see for yourself. It's more than just "looking odd." That said, shaving is always better than pain from extreme matting, but growing it back in is definitely not problem-free.
@@MrsSinkip Please don't spread misinformation about pet grooming. Your small experience and few assumptions is not a substitute for professional knowledge.

I have been attacked by large dogs at various times throughout my life, (while doing nothing more than standing in my own front yard) starting at the age of 4. I have always lived in the country, where many dog owners don't believe they have to leash or train/socialize their animals due to being in the country. Now, in my late 30's, I can't tolerate being in the same vicinity of them without having a panic attack. But looking at how calm, tolerant, and sweet this beautiful boy was, I felt like crying. He was SUCH a good boy he makes me want to (carefully) cuddle him.
That awful I don’t believe in some situations you have to fence dogs in, like if you live on a farm and train them to not go far, but NEVER let a dog that could be potentially dangerous to people and other animals roam. My dogs are all heavily socialized and all but our rescue have been since puppies. Our youngest was bone on the farm to our rescue and haves been around humans within the first 72 hours of being born. Since her mother really wasn’t our dog by her standards yet and heavily abused from puppyhood, I was constantly up there with her befriending her and making sure she didn’t move the puppies back to the abusive neighbors house (I might have stole them). All the puppies are the sweetest even if their father was apparently extremely aggressive and the momma is living it up being an outside inside dog of her own choice with her daughter, her daughters adoptive father the equivalent of the evil old man which allows no one to have fun (Chihuahua) and just the evil cat
So sorry that happened to you! Find an older Lab or Retriever to start with if you ever want to try again, they may be the most loving breeds I have ever known, gentle and sweet. This Samoyed looks like a love bug also!
I’m so sorry that happen to you, starting at a young age, those neighbors should have been more responsible for their dog, no matter where they live. Dogs who belong to you, trust in you, love you and wouldn’t attack you because they belong to you. If you get a puppy, it’ll feel safe and comfortable around you, even protect you. If you have friends or family with dogs, try to be around their dog little by little. My friends dog, at it was a pit bull, decided to sit on my lap! Lol big dog who people fear but he was sweet and just loves people. I sometimes fear little dogs, they can snip at you, my cousins Dachshund almost bit all my fingers off and my cousin was holding her dog, he was that protective to my cousin. I grew up with dogs in my family, so I can tell different personalities in dogs. If you can, go to a no kill shelter and ask to volunteer and maybe you can adopt a puppy or a dog that’s about a year old. Getting an older dog, you’ll get attached but it might not have the dog for too long. We had a dog like this one when I was 14, the sweetest fluffiest dog that always looked happy. Unfortunately some dogs are aggressive but mostly because they aren’t familiar with you or scared or just protecting their humans, having your own dog will love you and take care of you. 😁
@@addyshorhnr3544 sadly everyone can own a dog, and a lot of dog owners have absolutely no sense of responsibility. They also love their dog so much that they can’t see when they actually are being aggressive towards strangers.
I live in an apartment in a city and me and my little dog have been chased around by large dogs before too. I get the same way. If a medium to large size dog is running towards me, I start to panic and pick up my little one and start running the opposite way. Often times, the dog follows me even when owners are calling it. Dogs off leash that the owners have to call multiple times before it heads back makes me nervous. Makes me nervous when they don't listen to their owner, it shows the owner don't have a good control over it and it should not be off leash imo. Even dogs that pull on their owners leashes and doesn't stop when owners say makes me nervous. Worse is when they're aggressively barking and showing their teeth. Those dogs are very very dangerous and needs to be rehabilitated ASAP.
Stunning result Vanessa, you are such a great role model for this profession. This awesomely gorgeous Samoyed started off with a sheepskin pelt, + finished up a big beautiful CLOUD x all Thanx to your skills x
You are fantastic! I had samoyeds they are a lot of work, but they are loyal family dogs. They protected our son when he was young. They have to be part of your pack and keep them busy .
I own a fluffy dog and I brush her often. I never knew why she got mattes all the time! Thank you for explaining!! I always felt like I just wasn’t brushing her often enough, even if I was brushing her daily. So THANK YOU!
That was new info for me too. Never had a long hair but interesting!
@@mee6703 demonizing someone for a common mistake is a terrible way to solve anything
@@maikurumi5277 if you own a dog and live in the city - you are an animal abuser. many believe this, and you cannot convince otherwise. its sick. sure yeah, if youre going to accuse me of demonizing someone (which is hilarious) then i shall likewise demonize the people who keep dogs in their homes for nothing more than PLEASURE and COMPANIONSHIP. theres some barf for you.
@@mee6703 being hot-headed ain't gonna convince anyone to do the right thing. U really expect someone to reconsider their views or actions wen they're being accused of thinking their dog is nothing more than a doll for them? And I never said u can't judge them. Judge them all u want. It's being antagonistic that's the problem. Since wen has anything been solved by yelling at and insulting a person? And wen did city dogs come into the convo? U have every right to believe owning a city dog is abuse or not, but don't try to start more arguments because it's oh so fun to be the "good guy" and to "fight the good fight". Humans will always seek conflict to feel better about themselves.
The only ppl that should be told off r the ones who r blatantly abusing their animals. I own a lizard and have had it before the internet was popular and before petsmart was called out for horrible things which is where I got it from years ago. It was only a couple years back when I found out I've been raising the lizard completely wrong. Fixed my mistakes since, but should I be demonized and ridiculed for not knowing the advice given by petsmart was wrong and therefore began raising the lizard in the incorrect environment?
@@mee6703 pipe down
Nice to hear this wasn't from a lack of brushing on the owners part. Thats good to know of the importants of not letting the dog rub around after being wet.
of course its the owners neglect. they should have paid more attention and brushed out their dog regularly/ every day. matts do not appear after your dog rubs its fur against something once
Then they get upset that the mats have to be shaved 🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️

We just got a samoyed puppy. My hubby looked at me funny when I said we gave to blowdry the puppy’s coat. They are such floof balls. It is our first pet as a family of 5.
Oh, everyone said the same thing about our Great Pyrenees. It gets hot in our summers, she is a working dog, on a farm, she has a massively thick coat, it is impossible to keep her brushed out when she lives in pasture w/ the herd. She was miserable...so, we shaved her her 2nd yr. Marked improvement, she was so happy, running, playing, cool. We've shaved her every spring since. She grows back the thickest coat every year by fall/winter...its almost that time again, & she's got a coat like a sheeps wool, LOL, soooo thick & long. There is actually a dainty dog underneath ALL THAT HAIR, she is literally half as big when we bring her home, LOL.
Having two Samoyed’s, can confirm very patient and happy doggos! The brushing does literally take all day but they like the attention so they make it easy for you
My Dad used to brush our Samoyed out in the backyard. The birds would swoop down and pick up the fur for their nests. Best housed birds in town!
@@janined5784 Lol! Good for those birds, hope their eggs are nice and warm while they’re at it!
Samoyeds*
Yeah not the case with the completely pelted Akita x husky I rescued. He was covered in pee, poop and orange grease when we got him and the person who got him out of the crack den washed him and let him
air dry multiple times so the entire coat was like a Brillo pad texture. I had to used a horse shedding blade to break into it then swapped between slicker,demat comb and doing half inch section with the furminator for months. He would have killed the groomer and gotten himself killed if we took him to a groomer because he had no problem biting and drawing blood simply because he did not want to sit up or stand or face a certain direction even if he was tolerating the brushing and we did our utmost to make sure he was comfortable. Wasn’t worth the risk as even as a 7-8 month old puppy he is extremely powerful and can really do someone serious harm
I REALLY hoped they tipped you well. You did an outstanding job!
For real, honestly I wouldn't doubled the pay, that's the right thing to do for how long she worked.
Yeah that would’ve at mimimum been a $200 groom I’d charge lol during a groom like that I might frustratingly think I’m going to charge more but in the end, after the satisfying results I’ve never gone over $200 and then they always get on a proper schedule or the client will learn from it, especially after I tell them this is the only time I will do a job like this and next time would have to refuse service but I’m not a jerk when I tell them lol

@@peolfpetler8500 respectfully, no you wouldn’t have. At least not properly. Your dog would end up with skin infections under their matted fur until they were ultimately shaven down or left to suffer for the remainder of their lives. I am speaking from experience. I actually know how much work this can be, especially with dogs who are not cooperative because their owners don’t get them groomed as often as they should. The ones who have been “doing it themselves”.

Totally agree. Long haired dogs....and cats are beautiful but, no thanks. I'll stick to short haired pets. I'm getting too old for that.
Yeah, samoyeds are supposed to be brushed every day. Every single day. They shed more than other double coated dogs because they were bred to. Their fur was saved and spun into clothing. Way too much work for me.
@@deaaqua86 they only shed once a year, twice if female the shedding isn’t bad at all lol

Great comment and replies haha
I really appreciate your comment about never ever shaving a dog with a double coat. Our family dog was a pure bred labrador and we had her shaved once every summer for 2-3 years naively thinking it would help her stay cooler. Her coat never recovered ever after. It became patchy, not waterproof anymore, her skin became very susceptible to infections (with all the pleasant odors...), and so on. A real disaster. Never shave a lab!!
A pro groomer would've have known better.
@@glenmacnicol7825 ok?
This is a myth dude. Hair is keratinized skin cells produced by follicles and pushed gradually up. Shaving doesn't damage the cells (located under the skin), so the hair continues to grow just the same as ever. She probably just got older and developed skin problems.
@@bather7483 dog’s aren’t humans bud.
@@bather7483 If you constantly shave a dog's coat, the body can decide to put the hair follicles in a permanent resting phase. This is supported by vet pathology literature so no, it is not a myth 🤔 People should let their pet's body work the way it should, or get a short haired one

It's hard to believe that Harper stood so diligently during this four hour grooming session. The lady looked very tired at the last scenes of trimming Harper's coat. Four hours is a long time to groom one dog. You both did a great job and I wish that I had some fresh out of the oven home baked peanut butter cookies with a mound of soft melted chocolate oozing out on top for you with a glass of ice cold milk..perhaps someone nearby could do that for you with some tlc.

Really respect your dedication! Seems like the previous groomer just don't want to go through that hassle.
And of course, what a good dog!
Oh, what a beautiful doggy! He is so much better off now after seeing you for an expert groom.
It's like a work of art when you're done with these dogs. He's gorgeous, and you did a wonderful job on him.

Im a bit relieved to know that atleast his owners didn’t let him matte due to neglect or laziness. That would have been worse. He’s so cute
@Orion that’s really harsh. Even in the comments there’s people that were wondering why even after countless brushing their dogs were still getting matted. Before I got my dog I did meticulous research. Not once did the water thing come up. Sometimes someone doesn’t know everything. It’s unfortunate about the outcome, but it happens, people miss information. You can tell that the Girls Love Dogs understands this and didn’t bash the owners.
@Orion Yeah that isn’t exactly fair.
@UC1hV7K2FYilm0AH-H-1Sisw bruh if you don't shut the fuck up.
@Orion I can almost guarantee that you did not know that before clicking on this video unless you are a dog groomer or a long-haired dog owner, so unless a) and/or b) applies to you, you have no right to be a jerk about it. Even if either of those applies to you, that's still quite rude.
@@sav1052 actually getting a Samoyed matted is pretty difficult you have to flat out ignore and neglect your dog for it to get like that. Just rubbing around the house after getting a bath is not enough for that boulder mat it had on its underside. Its the pet parents incompetence to take proper care of their dog.
It was so cute toward the end when you were crouching behind Harper and we could barely see you. ☺
