Dog Show Grooming: Golden Retriever Feet

[@rebeldiamond3238]

Curved shears (6.5in) instead of the straight ones for top of the paws were much more user friendly than straight. Straight shears are difficult for beginners and if the pup is really wiggly- you’re asking to be overwhelmed. I will definitely take your advice on using shears instead of clippers on the pads! I noticed pups licking their paws more when the hair is clipped, thank you for that.

Awesome will try on my golden retriever male

Thanks! Sharing this with our Club!

[@justinelang5566]

Hi, Amy! Can you do a grooming video on ears please? Thanks so much for all you do!

[@swissmiss221]

Thank you so much!

[@anthemkennel]

Nice job Amy! Looks great!!

[@laurynwilson196]

Great tips! I loved how you go back and check everything to make sure it is perfect! Learned a lot, thanks!

[@suearnold9591]

Thanks!! I think I'm ok at it, but can always learn more.

[@livingxoutxloud]

Thank you for posting! This was extremely informative.

[@lindagomoll457]

Never too old to keep learning - feathering around foot with thinning shears - who knew I've been holding them incorrectly. Will be fixing that immediately! Thanks Amy. Now how about hocks (front and back).

[@AmySuzanneComer]

linda gomoll I will do them in another video or you can watch my webinar on thegroomingland.com

[@rebeccapeterson1803]

Great video thank you for sharing your technique

[@bethbrunton4641]

Thank you so much! Very helpful!

[@hallmarkgoldenretrievers8200]

Hi Amy, could you demonstrate how to trim hocks on a golden retriever? Thanks so much!

[@AmySuzanneComer]

Absolutely! I will do little snippets of grooming at a time. Don’t forget the webinars for only $30 available on thegroomingland.com. Once you buy them they are yours to go back to and review whenever you want.

[@miradonfbd]

Thanks so much! Very useful information. I’d like to see hocks too.

[@AmySuzanneComer]

That’s coming!!!

[@miradonfbd]

BlueRose Kennels I have my first Welsh Springer Spaniel puppy. I think that I can do exactly like the golden feet.

[@Dogs-Me-and-TheRV]

Thank you for the video, I am just learning how to groom my Goldens feet. He’s almost 5 months old and gets the wiggles lol

[@AmySuzanneComer]

tammy peterson try watching our table training video for help with the wiggles!

[@kristinefrench6993]

Do you show your dogs? I woukd be interested in any video's tou have on grooming the Smoth Coat Fox Terrier. I'm hoping to get an show one some day. Right now I have an Irish Wolfhound that I show.

[@Mike-pm2fc]

I've always found it easy to have my Goldens lie on there back while I trim their feet. They relax and nearly fall asleep while I trim. May need to do some final cleanup with them standing afterwards.

[@heatherguyll1119]

Do you have a link to the specific pair of extra fine point 5.5 inch scissors you use? I went to the site and saw sheers, but I didn't see those. Thank you for the tutorial! :)

[@rebeldiamond3238]

I use Groomers Pro for my shears!

[@veronicasuarez5439]

How would one prepare a puppy to become comfortable with starting the grooming process?

[@suearnold9591]

Could you possibly show how to groom a wire haired breed's foot? (Giant/Standard Schnauzers, etc.) Thank you!!

[@AmySuzanneComer]

Unfortunately I don’t have either staying with me right now but I can schedule it.

[@suncoastgoldens]

What is the name of that brush your using on the paws? Thanks!

[@moriahvincent6607]

Can you do one on ears please 😊

[@anna5169]

How do you trim a front foot that slightly turns out so it looks correct? When hand stacking I can fix it but when free stacking he turns it out a bit

[@AmySuzanneComer]

Trim the outside edges tighter and let the inside edges grow longer.

[@reneekwiatkowski9417]

Why do you want the nails showing? Thanks for the information.

[@AmySuzanneComer]

Just a slight amount of nails showcases the dog being up on their feet.

[@reneekwiatkowski9417]

@@AmySuzanneComer WOW I just trimmed my dogs feet, that made a big difference. Thanks for the tip.

[@AmySuzanneComer]

Renee Kwiatkowski excellent!!!

[@lightbringers760]

How much time regrowth legs hair ?

[@jmbenrddr1]

Do you use products to fluff up the fur on the paws before showing?

[@AmySuzanneComer]

No. Just freshly clean and dry.

[@jmbenrddr1]

@@AmySuzanneComer I’m back with another question. You discussed fine point scissors for trimming around the nails. Do you have a recommendation for which scissors to use? I couldn’t access your online store. Thank you so very much.

[@AmySuzanneComer]

@@jmbenrddr1 reach out to JL Sharp shop online and tell him I referred you and he will give you a couple options at different price points of foot scissors that I like. 👍🏻

[@AmySuzanneComer]

I plan to start making some more videos soon, so I’ll have links to scissors… Just waiting on repairs to my computer.

[@jillturnbull6042]

Are y'all still around? Can't find your website.

[@AmySuzanneComer]

Sorry we are rebuilding our channel and website. Probably won’t be ready until 2024. Thank you for your patience.

[@jillturnbull6042]

@@AmySuzanneComer thanks. I am trying to find the right 4420 thinning shears. Can you please send me a link that will take me directly to the specific scissors? The link to someone's site didn't take me to the actual scissors and it was very confusing. I'm a beginner in grooming my very difficult golden retriever. Thanks.

German shepherd please
