Tech here: Dogs with cleaned shaved paws like this suffer in long run. DONT clean hair out but level it off instead. When hair grows back sharp, it irritates their paws, hence licking, and causes discomfort.

@Brenda-jn8ln 25 күн бұрын

Totally agree!! I only "clean up" the hair on the bottom of paws. I think some groomers get a little to obsessed with the clean paw. Doesn't look comfortable for the dog .

@haegar9293 15 күн бұрын

Unless you have a foxtail problem in your area and the hair traps the seed and it can burrow.

@californiadreamer2580 8 күн бұрын

Ingrown hairs may become a problem too. It's also good to check feet after exercising somewhere with grass awns like foxtails whether dog's paws are shaved or not. Some grass awns are very thin but strong.

I use a 10 blade to clean up pads, for added safety and decreased irritation. It's easy to cut loose skin with a #30.

@@haegar9293yeah I have a foxtail issue and my cocker spaniel even got a foot infected. I needed this video and a follow up video for the front so he doesn’t get another one imbedded and infected. (I just spent 5 hours cleaning my backyard of foxtails and there are still more) crossing my fingers my home grooming goes well

I’ve retired but having been a groomer for 45 years I must say it’s wonderful to see a professional doing a professional job. In all this time I have never been aware of dogs having issues as the hair grows back. I have however discovered some interesting debris imbedded in the soft section of their skin. Amongst gravel causing a huge abscess, amongst other vegetation I’ve pulled out a grass seed on one occasion that oozed puss as I removed it. I squeezed the rest of the puss out until I could see blood, cleaned it properly with antiseptic and the dog was fine. It had to have been causing discomfort to the dog and it wasn’t far from being a trip to the vet. So a professional groomer can save owners money and their dog from the stress of a stranger poking them about. Not to forget it also prevents them from the discomfort in the first place. Well done to the OP, I’m sure you will have done a lot of good with passing on your knowledge and in such clear manner. Bravo

I'm an amateur and groom only my own dog. This video was very helpful. When I shaved her paws I wore a headlight (i.e. a flashlight that you wear on your head to free up your hands for a task) and the brightness helped me see the where I was going with the clipper blade.

Thanks for the video. I am an amateur groomer but took a community education class. My only warning is too make sure blade doesn’t get too hot so you don’t burn your dog or switch out blade if it is. My friend said she did that to her g dog.

@davidschmidt6013 9 ай бұрын

Dave, your explanation and instructions were SO clear. How to hold/use the clippers, and WHY not to go into the between-toes areas (webbing), etc. Great vid, and I've DL'd it. I live overseas and was hesitant to take my Husky to a groomer for several reasons, and was going to buy some clippers today and try it myself. VERY glad I found your channel. I'm a recently retired Science teacher, and I know another natural teacher when I see one. Thanks for sharing your skill and info. 👍

Keep trying. Have your clippers out & run it around the dog so he gets used to the noise. And let him see & smell it. Then just hold it on his body here & there without clipping. So thats what I did & it helps desensitize.

As a 30yr. Professional groomer, I advise against using the TOE BLADE. It very easy to nick or cut the pad so just use the 10 blade only.

@pringletingle4192 Ай бұрын

@frappelover6213 2 ай бұрын

Oh this is a great video. I watched other vids where they're just digging in there, no mention of the webbing; that's important info to know. Groomers are reluctant to do my dog now because of his hind leg weakness and anxiety.

@sweatytea333 8 ай бұрын

Appreciate the lesson! As much as I'd love to be able to take my dog to a groomer on a regular basis, I just can't afford it for now. Besides, he doesn't really require professional grooming. But he does have a decent amount of hair on his paw pads that he gets sap on. Plus he has allergies so when his feet get itchy, he will lick them a bunch. If they stay too wet for too long, then they can get all infected. Keeping his paw pads trimmed up has helped us mostly avoid that issue! But he is a Corgi with very lil legs. And I don't have anything to use as a grooming table. So I put him on the floor on his back, between my legs and go about it that way. Lol!

Is this clipper that i bought okay?? I bought a mini clipper with the tiniest little blade (maybe 1/4 inch long) . I am not experienced with a clipper, but I want to learn .......so a tiny clipper for the paw pads makes me feel more comfortable . I feel my dog's paws will be kept "safer" until I get used to it. I did one paw on m y dog ok, but stopped and thought that I better watch a few videos . Wow, thank you so much for explaining so clearly and thoughtfully. I did not know about webbing between the front toe pads. I will be looking for your video on trimming up the front of the dogs paws next !!
