no. 1. you do not bite your hairdresser 2. you do not poop on the ground and 3. your hairdresser doesn't have to clean your behind 4. your hairdresser does not clean the inside of your ears. 5. the hairdresser doesn't have to *BRUSH* your teeth. 6. you don't claw your hairdresser. 7. you do not move when your hairdresser is doing your hair. 8. you do not whine like it's hot. 9. the hairdresser doesn't wash your bathing suit areas.

And this is just part of it... You also have to give the dog a bath and trim its nails

Baylee, Chewy & Vader =) it's the cut I do on my sdit

Also, I would love to know the brand of that cordless clipper. I know this is a old video but I would love that cordless.

​@@ozmommi It's a Wahl! It's a 5 in 1 adjustable, probably the Arco, but I can't quite read the model along the bottom of the clipper.

If you go to certified pet grooming school, it’s very strongly stressed. These are just KZfaq videos.

To prevent the blade from getting hot u would better have to put some oil on it And everything will b ok

Not really, she is holding it's the skin of her throat to stop the dog from moving. Scruff or collar, fair enough, but never the throat.

+A Pickle Behaviorist yeah the dog does not look like a happy camper

The dog is not stressed at all. When you actually know what you are talking about, then you can comment. Every hold and stretch she had on the dog was to protect the dog and keep it safe and uninjured, which happens surprisingly seldom in the industry, given that we work with a moving target and razor sharp tools. This is a beautiful, clear instructional video. Learn something.

Thanks for watching!

The more and earlier in life you groom your dog, the better he will be. They do get used to it with time.

It’s time for obedience class so when you ask him so sit down stand stay he will and you will both have a better experience. The groomer as well will have a good grooming experience with your fur baby. He is at prime time for learning

She did.

The picture in my head of you wrestling them like alligators 😂😂❤️❤️

Get a grooming table! Such a game changer, my poodle went from a spinning gator to a good boy

No it isn't, you should not be doing half the things this woman does, especially the pinching of the skin as she does, it actually hurts the dog more than you would think. And for a pet dog you should always leave 1/2 an inch of fur, at least. Any shorter on a et dog and it will get sunburnt, carpet burns, grass stains, very cold when wet or at night even in warm climates, as well as badly affected by dirt, easy pickings for ticks, and the risk of ingrown hairs. Try a puppy cut, it is what most pet owners do. As a general rule you should never use the blade of the shaver on a dog directly, there should always be a attachment. Even if it takes longer, using small blunt scissors on a dog's face and paws is much better and safer than a shaver. The woman shown in this video is not a 'pro groomer.' Maybe she is someone who has groomed many dogs, but that does not make what she does the right way to do it.

She is not gentle at all, watching this back makes me sick. She should not work with dogs. No compassion at all. THIS is the way to making a dog dislike you. It should be your friend, enough of this "alpha' crap. You should be able to make your dog do something without using your hands, and if this woman has to result to pinching, there is something clearly wrong.

+A Pickle Behaviorist You've clearly never been a groomer and have no idea how to groom a poodle.

+A Pickle Behaviorist Are you kidding? Have you ever groomed a dog? She is not scruffing the dog to be dominant.. she is pulling the skin taut so the clippers will glide smoothly so as not to miss hair or not catch any skin. BTW I'm a former groomer and I know what I am talking about. Would you rather she not pull it taut and she either leaves chunks of hair unclipped or possibly the skin gets caught in the blade and cut?

Of course she pays for the service, and then complains about everything, and 10 to 1 has a spoiled, undisciplined child and dog. Just a theory though. Anyone that would rant about how poorly the dog is being treated in this video has a screw loose.

Beautiful job You're so patient Loved watching you create a great cut

I agree. The poodle seems pretty relaxed to me except when trimming the toes, and most dogs (especially my spoo) are sensitive about that area of their feet. I really like that style of cut as it gives their coat a velvety look. And knowing poodles, she probably thought that Heidi was talking to her the whole time instead of describing what she was doing.

Joan Wells I'm a dog groomer that specializes with senior clients. look for a groomer to do one on one with her groom her straight through. also a low maintenance trim would be easier on her. one length all over so it's quicker and she doesn't have to go as often. if you have never groomed a dog before I don't recommend starting on your senior dog. she needs a professional to finish her as quick as possible. also risk of nicks are much greater with seniors as they have thinner skin. please seek a professional

Lucinda, most of us poodle owners don't pay any attention to the negative people or their comments. We know what a wonderful dog we have, we don't need to have people affirm that.

Lucinda Carpe just because people have a differing opinion doesn't mean they are jealous.

Lo ley

I really agree with you 💯 for some reason theres a lot of miserable people smdh 😒👎

mattiesful and those people like YOU that sounds so arrogant GEEZ CHILL TF OUT BE HUMBLE 🕯🙇📿

Mar Van they went through fur like butter

James Sandwitch If you have a standard, you can clean the hair from their ears with hemostats and then clean with an ear solution; either homemade or store bought of your choice. My standard hates his ears cleaned, but it's a necessary evil. I hope this helps and saves you some money!

Judy G I just learned about ear powder and how to use it with hemostats. Thank you.

Oh yea, the ear powder makes it very easy to pull the hair from the ear canal. I use long 8" ones. Thanks!!

James Sandwitch Petsmart is not your friend...I worked there as a groomer for 4 years. Avoid them!!

Jerry Bresin she is very pretty! A bit naughty when it comes to her feet, but to be honest, none of my dogs have ever enjoyed their feet touched so she is forgiven for that haha!

Such a sweet, pretty face! She looks a LOT like one of my Standards, especially when in the same clip.

how to make dog clothes

You didn't hear her say good girl.

Some dogs if you do that they get all excited and start bouncing around and moving around the table. Rest assured im sure she got praise when she was all done!

+Salvador Alvarado Greyhound combs work great on poodles

Narrow Is The Way how often do you change your drive and oil the. Kippers and the blades?

Chloe7 Seven it could also be because of the blade itself, some dogs have very sensitive skin and if you clip the hair short it'll cause razor burn.
