I’m taking way too long on any type of dog and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

[@hackneybarkers]

The most important thing is to be satisfied with the result of your work, don’t worry too much about speed, as it will improve over time 💪

Hi, great video. Can I ask where you go for seminars? I’m new to grooming and work alone so would love to keep learning. Thanks 🙏🏻

[@hackneybarkers]

Hello 👋 Many grooming competitions often have seminars. Alternatively, you can always reach out to breeds/style experts, they often hold classes upon request!

Thanks for this video. Where is the best place to get all the equipment, please?

[@hackneybarkers]

We are based in the UK and we bought most of our equipment from Christies Direct 🤍

Great video, I have a spanish water dog and have went through 2 sets of wall clippers that couldntget through his coat as it is so thick both sets were cordless, can you recommend set of clippers that could get through his coat

[@hackneybarkers]

Hey! We’re glad that you have enjoyed our video! Hmm that’s surprising, which Wahl clipper are you using? We use Heiniger sapphire clippers and Andis clippers for the majority of our work and our Wahl Arco for small areas such as paw pads.

Great advice ladies. I am a self taught dog groomer and today I tried to groom my sisters cockapoo 🙈 my gosh it was more difficult than I thought it would be. What number attachment would you recommend for all over body as she doesn’t want her too short. ?? Thank you 🙏 god bless 🫶🏻

[@hackneybarkers]

Hey! The yellow comb attachment is generally a nice and manageable length. However, everyone’s perception of short is different. If you try it, let us know what you and your sister think! Good luck with everything ❤️

If ya have a matted pooch ya know it's best to have the Shih Tzu's shaved is ok to suggest to the groomer to just please shave them?

[@hackneybarkers]

Definitely, if you know your pet is matted, you can ask your groomer to shave him/her ❤️
