Full Groom Pet Trim Giant Schnauzer

One of the most stunning dog breeds, ever!!

[@elizabethricucci6385]

This is the best video I've seen about grooming a Giant Schnauzer. Thank you for being so helpful and explaining exactly what your doing🐾❤️

[@myrongainz515]

He's so handsome!!

[@karencooper9185]

Can't thank you enough for this video...I've been grooming since I was a teen on family schnauzers and soft coated wheatens... finally got a giant a year ago and this video is the best for showing the proper way to groom giants...(as you know not the same as mini's). Definitely gotta get "chunkers" and consider moving to a #40 blade...have always gotten by with a #10. Thank you again so much, your work is beautiful and your tutorial very helpful...I'm sure your views on this video will go through the roof as I use it numerous times as a reference repeatedly 😁

[@nicholeneil9392]

Thank you for posting this video, I learned a lot.

[@2MasterBuilder2]

Such a handsome boy! I love my salt and pepper standard schnauzer and his strong personality!

[@jlorosie6452]

So well behaved. Nice video. Thank you.

[@SuperVistaprint]

I loved the video and was surprised…there are not more ?! I could watch you explain this for hours. Thank you

[@nyjett3218]

Thanks a lot. I will be receiving my Giant in about a year. This is a wonderful detailed video.

I love the use of the word flyaway. I do that a lot with my clients.😅

Can't wait to get my GS pup! I am so excited!

[@jamaal3270]

Thank you so much, I rewatch before every clip for the head and sanitary areas. Not using a table and clipping feet on the floor is killing my back 😂😂😂.

[@RorCCuthbertson-Black]

Thank you - beautiful grooming job.

[@christyarebalo1158]

What a beautiful very well behaved Giant! My husband and I have a Giant Schnauzer and he is the best dog. He's funny and very playful and is such a cuddly love bug. He's a 110# lap dog.

🎉❤Thank you!

[@dianaevans6725]

Love watching you groom these beautiful dogs. I had 2 and miss them so much. If I was younger I’d get another. So I just watch you and remember them fondly!! ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for sharing this video. The best schnauzer glooming video I watch so far.

I'm planing to get a giant schnauzer.

[@enomisaura]

Do you plan on cropping the ears, or keeping natural? I want a giant schnauzer too!

[@stefanlee5139]

@@enomisaura I think I'll get one with cropped ears. The natural one seems too floppy for me. I had a spaniel before and the floppy ears just for me :)

[@dg8676]

Giant schnauzer is the best dog I’ve ever had. I’ve had pit bull German Shepard Labrador cocker spaniel and GS is the best.

[@randyrawdingii5135]

Get one. I've had 2 and they're awesome dogs. Mine's with me 24/7, even at work and she's my best friend. Great guard dog but friendly with kids, and adults if I tell her they're ok. She loves to work, very intelligent. Maggie's 8, I wanted cropped ears but at the time none of our local vets would do it, saying it's inhumane. But they will now as they realized ear infections and mites are REAL. Makes me so mad😏 But you won't regret getting a Giant, good luck!

Would you mind telling me the clippers you use? I really need a good one to use on my giant

[@Renvega77]

How do you do the eyebrows???

[@claudiasasser8193]

Thank you for a great video! Do you know of any groomers in GA that are willing to teach how to groom a Giant? Thanks!

[@shainalafleur8775]

No. It’s very rare to find a professional groomer that will teach a client/pet owner how to groom their own dog. I teach private lessons here in Texas.

[@karyjohnson5708]

​@@shainalafleur8775Where are you located in Texas. I live in West Texas and I would love to come to you to teach me. Or better yet, just pay you to do my girl!! I have a GS P/S with a soft under coat and wirey top coat. LOVE, LOVE your very informative video! Very well explained!

I also have a giant schnauzer called Grim =D

[@timothystys9938]

Your dog is saying, hurry up lady!

[@DONNAB555]

He looks fantastic. ❤️. We are picking up our pup on Saturday. She will be 8 weeks then. When do you suggest getting her on the table? I have a small setup I used for my Yorkies I wonder how long my giant is going to fit on their small table being she is already bigger at 8 weeks old. Just figured I should start early?

[@shainalafleur8775]

The earlier the better. Getting them used to being on the table, brushing, handling, body manipulation, nails, etc. I start my guys off on the table a few times a week for 5-10 minutes at a time. My dogs are show dogs, so being groomed and on the table is a big part of their life and they always beat me to the table when it’s grooming time, LOL.

[@DONNAB555]

@@shainalafleur8775 thank you so much! So it’s going well ! I was able to do a sanitary cut she was great. I am definitely going to need that large table lol. Thanks again

[@randyrawdingii5135]

What a good lookin' big boy! I'm keepin' my girl away from YOU, sonny...Don't need any surprises 'round here🤣 Def appreciate you making this tutorial. Grooming tools and clippers came in today and Maggie is overdue. Gonna make my girl all gorgeous again.

[@alpinestar5496]

Can you please give info on those Chunky monkey thinners, where to buy etc thanks

[@MelanieTalley]

How painful it must be to be groomed like those. I wonder how many people brush their hair like this.

[@shainalafleur8775]

@@MelanieTalley Yes, he’s clearly in pain. He’s writhing and screaming as he’s tortured.

[@jacksondavis624]

How do I keep my dog calm, he won't stop moving and his cut looks like crap because of it

[@shainalafleur8775]

@@jacksondavis624 training. You need to train your dog for grooming on table manners and how to be tolerant of handling just like anything else. Once every 6-8 weeks isn’t going to do anything so you need to put your dog on the table multiple times a week. This dog was groomed a few times weekly his whole life from the time he was 8 weeks old.

[@artrythegreat]

What’s the name of the clippers your using that uses the 10 and 5 blade?

[@shainalafleur8775]

@@artrythegreat I use multiple clippers here. Check out my Tools video for in depth on which ones I use.

Where do you work? Need you to trim Shadow. Great job.

[@tayler841]

Do you by any chance have the breeder information for this beautiful schnauzer?

[@acharles8375]

Very cool

[@ohplezz]

Does this breed need to be groomed every two months or can it be groomed every 6 months?

[@shainalafleur8775]

Every 6 months is FAR too infrequent for any dog that requires grooming. That’s asking for a very poorly behaved dog, health issues associated with neglect, and painful twice a year shave downs. Any high maintenance breed should be groomed every 4-8 weeks depending on length given. My personal dogs (including this guy) are bathed at least once a week and groomed every 3-6 weeks.

[@alanlongman6966]

what is the blade number you use with the guard comb for doing the legs?

[@pokeroohardo6539]

Sad…after 8 months and trimming her within the 8 months I didn’t realize how matted she was. Boy oh boy, my body paid for it lol

[@robertmoore618]

Would you happen to know any groomers in Georgia who will groom a GS similar to how you do it? Thanks. (I had an argument with a local groomer who wanted to groom my GS similar to a mini and add a skirt.)

[@shainalafleur8775]

None of the 3 breeds of Schnauzers have skirts. It’s called an underline. It sounds like that groomer isn’t properly educated on the correct schnauzer pattern. I’d find one that is knowledgeable.

[@lando1ish]

Is there a quality breeder here in Texas.

[@Renvega77]

Can you post the outline of the eyebrows?????

[@Tommy_Gibbs_II]

What are the risk of giving a schnauzer a short cut all over?

[@shainalafleur8775]

There are none. The hair will grow back. This guy has gotten many shorter maintenance shaves prior to this video as an example. If the hair doesn’t grow back then the dog needs to see a vet as there are underlying medical issues.

[@Toltecgrl]

I think these dogs are so beautiful. But I read that they are not a dog you can take to the dog park because they have a tendency to fight with other dogs they don’t know. Is this true? Anybody on here know what their personality is like. I would like a dog to hike with for protection.

[@shainalafleur8775]

@@Toltecgrl Dog parks in general are a bad idea. Working breeds like the Giant are prone to being same sex aggressive or not dog friendly, so group play is not a good idea. Parks are usually full of under-socialized and over stimulated dogs that are not watched properly to prevent incidences. Dogs do not have to be dog friendly to live a fulfilling life, only dog neutral in appropriate scenarios.

[@Toltecgrl]

@@shainalafleur8775 Thank You!

[@Toltecgrl]

@@shainalafleur8775 it was an example somebody gave on a video. I don’t take my German Shepherd to dog parks because of disease. But I was curious what the disposition was of a Schnauzer. My German Shepherd is an old fellow now he can’t hike with me anymore. So I was looking at the schnauzer as a possibility. Thank you for your response!

[@shainalafleur8775]

We should get together sometime. Nothing too serious; just have a few drinks - let go of our inhibitions, try something silly, like give marriage a shot.. I’m sure we’d enjoy it, and I’d love to call you my ex wife someday. Seriously - giant schnauzer grooming hall of fame. Not only for your talents - but for your understanding of the groom and the reasoning behind each and every aspect.
