Can You Groom My Dog?

[@CoyKoi57]

Give mom a break. Yes she was embarrassed at the condition that the dog was in but she took a huge step to come to Dede, she seemed to be learning and will hopefully incorporate what she learned into her routine. Mom obviously didn't know what she was getting into with this dog, but she also didn't dump the dog when things got tough. Give her some love for what she learned, not making judgments. Dede, you're the best!

[@susiereed5476]

Agree, sometimes you just have to have faith in a situation. Mom said, at bath time, that Luna would let her bath her, but at the beginning of the video she said that the kids had to pick Luna up for her. The dog has been in the home long enough to trust a little bit, but if your not willing to take the time to learn, there will be trouble. Mom drove over an hour to get to Dede, and she knew what she was getting into. She wanted to learn so that she could enjoy her puppy (sorry, I don’t know any dogs, but I know a lot of puppies!), and she didn’t back down once! I think that because of Dede’s “training “, home is going to be a much happier place.

[@Sparky-dr1ii]

You can't get too mad at her. She tried to groom her. But the dog refused to let her try. So i csn see how the situation got put of hand.

[@jessmyzelf5912]

Yes she should have let jt get that far but she is taking responsibility now and taking care of the dog and from now on she can come in every couple of months and the dog will be much better

[@sherrytrenner9452]

This is my first time watching and I have to say that I think you are AWESOME !! I wish you lived near me.. Oh I can only dream.. I live in a small town and we have only one groomer. (We did have two up until recently) I'm going to be watching you alot now! Wow, you did a great job getting the matted hair all cleaned up and the she looked like a brand new dog ! You are definitely a lifesaver to these people💛

[@georgiannajones6973]

you are so good at grooming and everything else you do for the doggies I know this is a video but it hurts me to read the Mommy's face there's no love for this pup, just ask her if she has kids this dog I'm thinking was used as the toy for her kids like I said read her face at the dog doesn't nearly show that there is love for him please take it as a good criticism it's just that I am a dog lover and it hurts and I know the groomer knows what's going on but she cannot do anything about that but just try to convince them to bring her and more often and I don't know how to put it but in a subtle way tell her that has to be a lot of love given to this pup please and may God bless you you're the best

[@TheRealSabrinaDeep]

After you shaved the first half of the face the dogs entire demeanor changed! Tail wagging, panting stopped and the body position was more upright but relaxed. I wonder if mom noticed a difference once she got home with the dog. I would be willing to bet that the dog is not actually aggressive she was just acting out because of the pain and discomfort. I bet the dogs entire behavior will have changed as a result of what you have done for her. Nicely done.

[@KarynLewisBonfiglio]

I noticed that, too! She was smiling and much happier.

[@albertvandenbrande7862]

[@katdelrio5316]

Mom seemed more confident as well. Dogs can read their parent's emotion. So I think Mom showing more confidence will help her puppy trust that everything is going to be okay. Will make the grooming easier. Hopefully she follows through with the homework. Really great effort all around. Adorable little dog.

[@granniefromky]

Sabrina deep - That’s exactly what I noticed. She was like a canine deaf mute, “Wait, I can hear, I can see! Oh, thank you, DeDe!” The perfect ending for me would have been to put her down in the floor and watch her do a happy dance, lol.

[@cosmichellion]

I know that when my old little poodle mix gets her summer cut she's extremely happy to be free of the fur and out of her eyes.

[@jenniferandrew3373]

Mom, you did great. You learned. You were part of the process. And you'll move forward.

[@lewistelle]

I wish the stand had a nice padded seat for their tummies to rest on. As it is, that contraption helps the groomer but the dog would be more comfortable and to me, that would help the dog to feel more like they were getting pampered.. you know like a warm, soft table that’s padded when you go to have a massage or something. Especially if it’s so painful to get the mats off.

[@lanacamwell2595]

L. Donald Telle, Jr. yes me too the stand it looks hard but she still did an amazing job

[@lindamcrae6194]

I thought it was so important to involve the owner involved. They have no idea what your body going through in a regular day . Let alone when you have a challenge like this. Keeping dog parent in control helping them to help you!& see how challenging this situation is . To do they now know you got this & the dog owner or you won’t have to go through this again ! The pup was so happy after! That would make me mean . Lol

[@RTHfan]

I just watched this and admire you for helping the dog, and for treating her owner with kindness and no shaming. If you had been mean or sarcastic, she would be too ashamed to return. Your straight forward teaching and encouragement are the right approaches. Thank you!

It’s really hard to read some comments about how it’s abusive. This lady is in the room with her dog, is explaining how shes TRIED to help keep the dog maintained and groomed, and isn’t at all treating the dog badly. Sometimes dogs just DONT LIKE BEING GROOMED. It’s hard to maintain a dog being groomed when they won’t even let you pick them up. You can’t be quick to judge people who are looking for help with their dog all matted. There have been dogs in this video just as bad as this dog, who were just dropped off in the grooming station and left there because they probably don’t care enough to help the dog. This lady is learning.

[@silvrfox2uBooboo]

After watching the video, i breathed a sigh of relief for everybody, dog included. It was some production, and like you said, we look forward, dont look back. Get on track. I could see from the owners responses to your questions during the procedure, that she's been stressed and couldn't give detailed replies: used a lot of "um's" and "like", but few facts. Her mind was a little numb, like she's bracing herself for failure again, but, with directions firm and clear from you, she was able to assist with the grooming and got the dog where it needed to be. Good experience all the way around. And you comforted the owner: VERY good! Kindness is always the best way to go. You did a fine job, Girly!

This is the best groomer I've ever seen, I noticed lots of comments that don't seem to grasp how difficult and what risk this women has willing taken with these matted dogs others turned away. I'm amazed at her talent to do what the animal desperately needs. Its embarrassing for the owner but they are not a hero for keeping the dog or finally taking action after ignoring and neglecting the problem to this point the groomer is the hero. Shes not judgemental but firm and brave to post these uncomfortable situations for the world to see, I think it shows how much she cares for the animal to show these situations and educate owners. I have seen in the comments what a lot of people not in that situation or that don't have a difficult breed like this think about what she must do for the animals well being. Let's not forget this animal is in pain and suffering daily every hour before it came in every step it took pulled its skin and hurt. This women stopped the pain that poor animal had endured and it might have been uncomfortable to watch but not wanting to face the abuse and neglect letting your dog be matted is the only action that was harmful to this animal and the owner inflicted that harm. If you find it honorable or brave to take care of a animal that you decided to bring into your home its not its just a duty and responsibility you signed up for when you made that choice so let's give the honor and respect to the person who earned it and went to school was harassed online and still uploaded to educate others this wonderful groomer who could have easily turned away and not put her self out there but did anyway for the sake of the animal and to educate as many people as possible to prevent future abuse. If I had more words to explain how in awe I am I would but they don't do it justice so I will stop here.

[@kaylahall1219]

Wow Dede! That was an amazing groom! First; in defense of pet momma. I do really think there was a lot she just didn't know. We don't know exactly what went on in that house. Mom said the dog would not even let her near her. Bonding and imprinting is hard when your dog isn't interested in you at all. We all do the best with the knowledge we have at the time. I don't think Dede was blaming or shaming mom at all. I think Dede was just telling the truth. And when mom learned how bad the problem was, she learned what she needed to change. Forgive the past, let's move on as better people. Now mom knows. I don't think any of the other Groomer's were as straight and clear with pet mom as Dede was here. But now they are all clear and on the same page, and now the healing can take place. Best of luck pet mom, you are brave. Haters are gonna hate. As far as I am concerned, I am not judging you. Sometimes things get away from us. We are human. Now you know. I think Dede is brave to really bring people in and be given the chance to SEE how bad the problems can be. If you really were an evil person, you would not feel bad. You would not cry if you did not care about the dog. Also, people need to realize that Dede is a gem. There are not people or Groomer's like her everywhere. I am learning a lot about leadership from Dede. The mom had to drive over an hour just to get there! She kept searching for the right person to help. And now they are all on track to a better quality of life for that pet. Bravo everyone! Thank you pet mom, and Dede for allowing us in to see and learn from your experiences. Xoxo

I totally agree!! Everyone is bashing the mom but rescue dogs come with lots of issues. I've been bitten by rescue dogs for combing alone! Some never get better cuz of the trauma they been thru.

[@michellealmeida6699]

I don’t think the owner was neglectful as such. She said herself she was adopted and certain things the adoption stated were untrue for example her age. Her going to different groomers shows she’s trying to do right by the dog but got turned away. She was also stating how she could barely handle the dog at home let alone do a groom. With difficult dogs some people just need to be educated and clearly she wasn’t expecting this temperament in the dog. Instead of judging and trying to claim how long the dog has truly been matted for, just be great full that this dog isn’t in a kennel locked in a cage for most of his life or potentially even getting put to sleep due to her unsettling nature. What we should be doing is giving her advice on how to handle this situation better.

Thank God that lady come in and adopted the dog and got it taken care of. even though she had to go through several different groomers till she sounded groomer that would get the job done.

Between the pet parent saying "Like" every other word and not being able to communicate about her search for a groomer who could help and the activeness of the dog, I would have shaved them both and called it a day.

[@SynfulMemory]

This isn't about being on camera, this is about being a responsible pet owner. She was fine in the beginning, talking about about calming her down with Melatonin. From watching this video, the pet owner doesn't do what's healthy for the pet. There was a baby carrot sized GOB of matted hair and eye discharge that was claimed to have been cleaned 3 months ago. Dede even said at the end, that there was no way it was 3 months. Communicating with Vets, Vet assistants, and groomers is KEY for the health and safety of your pet. Of course it's stressful. I totally agree. However, if doing what you need to do for any pet stresses someone out, perhaps they aren't ready to have one.

Crystal White I am so sorry you have to go through this I would think it would be harder with the human. But I’m glad you’re human doesn’t have teeth like this animal dies. If you want to try to do this haircut at home with your autistic child here are some ideas I’m I have for you. I’m going off the wall here because I’ve never groomed and autistic human. But. It can be challenging. Artistic people think and patterns I believe. So lay out a grid with tape on the floor I know this sounds weird. But the chair in the center of the room in the center of tape. Hang in front of the person some kind of plastic like a shower curtain and draw a grid or something on it. Something for the human to focus On wall whomever is giving the haircut. Right numbers in the boxes. Whoever is Grooming the human needs to call that number is well here she is grooming the human. He needs to be a task as well as productive haircutting. Do you know what I mean? Please give it a try do it on video so I can see what’s happening and I can make better tweaks to the idea maybe I can make It a smooth her job. Thanks for watching appreciate you

[@crystalpistol2753]

Dede Croy THAT is a fantastic idea! I’ll work with him at home and maybe make something more portable for the hairdresser. Maybe use iPad and do a count down clock?

I especially love the end of the groom and the bath with the dog wagging her tail as if to say "See, I'm not really mean and nasty. I was just very uncomfortable and hurting with all this stuff going on." It looks like you even removed feces that were matted into her fur. Wonderful job! Good on you. I hope you get to do a follow-up with this one so we can see how life changing a good thorough grooming and cleaning can be for a pet. Thanks.

Dede could you do a home grooming 101 type video where you show basic home grooming routine that people can use on a regular basis between professional grooms?

[@Blvkcoyote]

Alicia Warren Elaborate please?

[@aurav1376]

Mr.Free she has no idea what she’s doing. As an animal trainer and groomer the behaviors and actions she takes with these animals are very damaging so it’s no wonder they “act out”. Which honestly most of the “aggressive” dogs she’s posted videos on aren’t aggressive, they’re responding to being choked out and mishandled by this groomer and her “assistants” which are just untrained pet parents.

[@granniefromky]

Thumbs down for you! If you feel that way, why are you here? You need to get down off your high horse and go do something kind and beneficial.

[@Aquaisaunyae]

Alicia Warren choked out? Girl bye 👋🏾

[@ngo7156]

Wow Dede! You are phenomenal! I know that dog feels so much better thanks to you, David, and the pet parent. I feel like I know how the pet parent feels. Years ago when I had a cat I noticed how when he would chew his dry food half of it would fall out of his mouth back into his food bowl. I took him to the vet and he had pretty bad tooth decay needing a few teeth pulled! I felt so guilty for not realizing the problem sooner! Since that, I made sure to regularly check his whole body, including his ears and mouth for any issues. Thank you to you and the pet parent for sharing. ; )

[@cb1839]

You are so fast, this is necessary! So glad there are groomers like you out there to help pups like this.

[@wendyren414]

You guys did a GREAT JOB!!! Even the dog did a GREAT JOB I hope you have the next visit on video as well. The dog seems so much happier with out all the matted hair around her face

[@gayleklein7243]

The dog clearly felt a lot better after the bath, and your advice to Mom about playing with her face was excellent. Good job. Well done.

[@plantsbatsandcats]

You are so sweet to these guys. I‘m so glad you do this! You use as little restraint as possible(meaning you only use what you need and don‘t over restrain) and you‘re so patient. You also talk to them in a nice calm manner and you keep your calm. I love it!

[@jessicavela849]

Seriously have zero idea how I got here 😂 but I’ve been watching these videos now for the past hour. You are such a rock star and have the most patience out of anyone I’ve seen. The job isn’t pretty, and the job isn’t easy...but the work you do is so greatly needed and improves the life of these pups that they likely never had before.

[@paulabennett5105]

What a lovely dog and so good. You have made her feel free of all that horrible mess. Congratulations. And thanks.😀👏👋

Love this and how you comfort the mom! You're awesome! Thank you for teaching us and for all you do! You see how much you love animals!

[@superkeola]

I give props for mom bringing the dog in. If she didnt care she would have kept the dog matted. Its a lot of work to keep on top of grooming shitzus. I can tell she felt bad for the dog being that way. She prob didnt have money to keep taking the dog to the groomers and decided to groom the dog herself. With the dog not liking being groomed in the face she prob just gave up and did what she could. I used to have a shitzu so boy do i understand. Its hard to just say to yourself ok maybe I need to give her to someone who has time and money because I cant afford to keep up with grooming. Esp when you got so much love to give. Im glad she decided to do the right thing and bring the dog in.

[@kellismith1435]

So sad for the dogs condition, but the owners "aha moment" gave me hope for her! Educating someone goes so much further than judgement ever will! I commend you and your great work!

[@Ronibearable]

I think this went great! Mom did a great job holding and ya'll got this done quickly and the dog expressed it's preferences but never really spooled up into severe aggression.

[@wolfen26]

I think a lot of the biting was because it was not only scared, but in pain. Mats hurt and I saw how red it's skin was!

[@alexsmith1207]

wolfen26 well that's like me while you might see tiny tiny cuts it doesn't mean it's in pain, for me I hated haircuts when I was a little kid. The red skin is because of friction, touching, movement.

I needed to watch this video BEFORE I groomed my friend’s new yorkie today. He wasn’t aggressive, but man was he a squirmy dude. Learning how to have someone assist will be a GREAT help. You’re seriously the best groomer ever.

[@KaySan666]

Looks like she was so agressive because she couldn't see. i certainly would be if i was in a strange place, couldn't properly see, were in pain and then some buzzing thing comes close to my face and made it hurt a bit by pulling on the mats. I hope she's doing better from now on.

[@amos0213]

Dede you are the best! Your videos are not only informative but also educational. You obviously have a great passion to help these dogs and their owners. Thank you for what you do! I sort of accidentally found your channel today but you better believe I am now a subscriber! You're not only a kind, highly skilled and compassionate groomer, but you are a teacher. A great one at that!

You were a professional in every sense of the word! I was watching as you advanced on that head and face thinking you have done all the easy parts now how are you going to get that head and face and like solving a Rubik’s cube suddenly you got it done. Amazing. It was drama and suspense as good as any Hollywood production. A real nail biter with a happy ending.

When you got that second clump of hair from her eyes, that little doggy looked around as if to say ...Wow I can see!...She even calmed down for a short while...finally realizing that you Dede were really helping her to feel better...Love it!

[@CrystalRivera513]

You should put before and after photos of your dogs at the end of the grooming. I’ve notice you take the photos, I just think that would add a lot of interest to your videos! People love being able to visibly see the difference that is being made. Just something I think would be beneficial for you to add. 😊

[@cynthiakrauter9941]

You all did an excellent job. Yes, Luna? was very matted. I've been there. You figure that if your dog wont let you groom them, they will never let the groomer do it. Unfortunately, this only delays the inevitable. Videos like this are what helps dog owners get to the groomer before it's too late.

[@GroomerJuls]

Oh wow Dede you are awesome!!! And your videos have been an inspiration to me in getting back into grooming! I have my reasons for walking away from it but your videos have lit that spark in me once again! Keep up the great work!

[@monav4062]

What a professional and compassionate person this dog groomer is! You can tell that she really understands the nature of the dog and it's owner! The owner of this dog was having so many 'regrets' of ever having given this dog a 'forever home' because the dog was impossible to groom! And, like she said, "she had no history on the dog and thought the dog was much younger than it was", but the reality of it is, the dog was much older and apparently had been through a lot and has a lot of emotional problems! Everything here has worked out great for the pet and the owner who learned so much on how to care for her dog! I truly believe that the owner was close to giving up on the dog and may have had thoughts to give it back to the shelter in hopes that it would be adopted by someone else! This groomer did everything right and in the best interest of the dog and its owner! Excellent job! I can see why this groomer and her staff would have people travel from far away to come for their services -- they are very good at what they do! ❣💖❣💖❣💖❣💖

[@sandragutierrez2009]

You are FANTASTIC!! I was a groomer for years. We did anything that would fit through the door. We did a little monkey, rabbits, baby lamb etc....Most of our clients were poodles. The meanest dog I ever did was a Scottie. Next was a Wolf cross who backed me into a corner before we got a muzzle on him. Keep up the great work. I love your video's. Linda

[@sherrywade4102]

Dede you're the best groomer I've seen on u tube . I have really learned alot from you. I'm new to this as I have 2 maltese - Shih Tzu mix 6 month old puppies. I've only had Chihuahua's for the past 25 years! Short haired...no grooming except brushing involved. I lost my last baby Skipbo " trouble on Four Paws " Wade on Halloween 2019. He was 12 years old with a bad heart. I still miss him but my new babies are helping me. Thanks Dede.

[@2lilangelwingz]

I wanna say I friggen love u. You truly care about the pet 100% . Your right, most places don't get the pet parent involved because they don't want ppl seeing what they do and how they do it. Your different. You want them to see so they can learn how to maintain properly between grooms. Its not all about the $ for you. You have a large heart for the pet's and pet parents as well. I personally do not have a dog , I have 2 cats but I've learned so much by watching you. I'm addicted to your vids. Yes theres times were you need to be direct and blunt ( drill Sargent as you would say lol ) but you know what ur doing . Your technique works. The pet and all involved in the groom remain safe yet the job gets done .Keep up the great work girl. Your changing the quality of life for the pets one pooch at a time :) sending lots of love from Massachusetts ♡♡♡

Thank you so much for sharing this! 😍😍

[@PapillonOne]

DeDe, you are a Saint and a smart one at that!! Thank you for being willing to help these dogs and owners!!! They so badly need your help! I was having to take your advice and keep myself breathing just watching this. That poor little dog was definitely wanting you to get the mess off her face too by the time you got to her face. I felt sorry for the owner, they often get lost as to how to help their dogs. It is great that you are so clear when doing these grooms that you do know what to tell the people holding the dogs so that no one gets hurt as well as teaching the owners as to handle the dog so as to help the dog stay in better shape in the future. If that was me and my dog, I'd be willing to feel badly and allow being shamed as a sort of my penance or my "Mia Culpa" for my ignorance affecting my dog. And the important thing is she kept trying to find some one who could help her to help the dog and she finally succeeded so God Bless her and Dede!!
