Hi Amy! I have been enrolled in Animal Behavioral College for a year which has an online course for dog grooming. I was in the process of completing my hours to receive my certification but my mentor was absolutely terrible. She is the type of groomer that gives us a bad name. She was constantly yelling at the dogs and sometimes I could even hear her smack them. On top of that she wasn’t trying to teach me anything. It was terrible and I would go home crying every day. I couldn’t handle it anymore but luckily the owner of the grooming salon decided to shut down that part of her business so my mentor is no longer my mentor and no longer a groomer. 😊 Anyway I have been leaning everything I know by watching your videos. You have seriously helped me so much!!! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you and your channel. You are such an inspiration to me and I aspire to be like you and groom like you. I saw that you have a basic dog grooming course available. I would very much like to take it. I see the link to that already but I also remember you saying something that there is like a monthly subscription group or video conference. I don’t know if you are still doing that but if you are will you please tell me how to access it!!! Thank you so much! YOU ROCK!!!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🫶🏼🐩✂️

[@Tam_Eiki]

Thank you for making this easy-to-understand video. I needed the chunker sheers to do what I envisioned but didn't know there were different kinds of blending/trimming sheers. You just saved me over $100 on the wrong sheers that will be going back tomorrow!

I've got a special cut for my malshi, it's called "the covid cut" it was a different look each time till I got better at it. Now I'm not so croocked.and my darlin is so patient with me.

[@JessicaSantos-gb8ht]

Gracias 🎉

[@SusanKifer]

What sheers would you recommend for a 9 lb Toy Poodle? I have 7" straight and curved sheers. Wondering about blender or chunking sheers. I'm a new home groomer. Love the work you do. Thanks!

[@terryhuggins8529]

Could you show more on Scottish Terrier, shear work and hand stripping?TIA

[@GoGroomer]

I’m looking to get in touch with a Scottie Breeder for demo’s

[@notanotherusername]

Thank you for showing us how to use the blending shears... I have a 7 lb dachshund mix and I'm wondering if my little guy needs any grooming? I've been trimming his hair on the back of his legs with straight sheers but it looks pretty bad until I bought some blending shears today lol. I don't know if there's a way I can submit a picture to you and you can tell me what you think he needs? If anything? He sheds so it's not like it's growing out or anything. Thanks

[@GoGroomer]

You're in luck! I made a video on this. Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYixdWiHetmsqLssi=umn0xeNqb97aXUG2

Hi, I’ve been enjoying your videos & have been learning a lot. Could you advise me as to what type of thinning scissors to use for a Duck Toller? I would just need to do ears & feet. Thanks!

[@jams235]

Do you have a video describing what each scissor is for ? I am new to your channel

[@amandastainsby4480]

Great 😊

[@beaconmember1]

What type of blending shears is best for those Asian Fusions trims where the look on the head and face looks so smooth? My blenders are not sharp enough. I'm looking for razor sharp blenders for fine work. What do you suggest? Thank you.

[@GoGroomer]

It depends on your skill level and the dogs cost. I have other informative video’s on blending shears

[@beaconmember1]

@@GoGroomer I've been grooming dogs professionally since 2015. Let's say grooming a Pomeranian. What razor sharp blending shear would you recommend for fine work at the end?

[@susanyakus7364]

I wish you would show how you give Riley a full mustache. I struggle with that. What a sweet baby!

[@GoGroomer]

Will do!

[@mirandalee4879]

Thank you so much! I always feel that I’m using my thinning shears wrong cuz I don’t fully understand them but now I do and I wasn’t! It feels good to know that I was doing it correctly but I now know more about the different types of shears I can use. But I would love to know how to help my client I clean homes and dog sit for her she has a big Leonberger who is going on to be a year old and she gets some Big matting around her neck (collar area) she has an electric fence. And in her leg joints. She is pro groomed at the recommended 6 weeks time and brushed almost every day if not every day. But my true question is what tool do you recommend for her big thick downy coat to help keep the matting at bay?

[@CritterGal68]

Thank you! I have a ragdoll & need to keep his bib & pants "in check". Really on the fence between a chunker & blending shear. He has so much ultra soft, long hair. I'm thinking chunker. Any comments? ALSO, when I try to buy a blending shear, they're often labeled as "thinning" shears. Are they the same? Thinning shears make me think of human thinning shears where you cut & pull down shaft of hair to "thin" the hair. That is not what blending shears seem to do (the action of cutting w/blending seems diff than cutting w/thinning shears. What am I missing?

[@GoGroomer]

Sometimes brands call blenders, thinking shears. If they are made for dogs they are the same. But there is a difference between the technical term blending and thinning shears. Thinning shears have teeth on both blades.

[@krissys4424]

Hello Amy: Could you tell me please what blending shears you would recommend for a Maltese, I saw you were saying the Jody Murphy blenders are good but do they take off too much hair? I have nothing but time to groom Molly at home but she is only 3 months old and I want her to eventually be groomed like the Korean cuts, I have bought her many accessories already like bling bling berets and many bows, could you please recommend the best blenders to use for this. I look forward to your reply. 😘

My sapphire 52 tooth blender is great on a drop coat: kenchiigrooming.com/sapphire-by-amy-leigh-52-tooth-thinner-7-5-offset/

[@krissys4424]

@@GoGroomer Thank you so very much!

[@jj..-]

Thanks Amy you cut their whiskers off?

[@GoGroomer]

sure, depending on the trim and breed type. They always grow back and it does not affect a dog to have the whiskers trimmed contrary to certain beliefs.

[@lupitamunoz4538]

Hi I need some advice on what shampoo and conditioner to buy for my shithtzu if you can answer my comment … I wi be buying product one by one since I am in a budget and clueless on what to get 😂

[@GoGroomer]

Igroom sqalane shampoo and conditioner.

[@DeplorablesGarbage]

Hello!

[@ryanmitchell2844]

I feel like you have it backwards. You say there’s not a lot of space between the teeth so it’s not too aggressive. Except the teeth are what does the cutting the space between the teeth is hair that remains uncut. Those serrated edges give a more feathered cut and helps eliminate scissor lines by creating multiple lengths in one cut.

[@siangeorge5408]

What do you get with subscription for 4.99 and is that american dollars

[@GoGroomer]

American dollars and only members can join my zoom learning sessions once every 3 weeks. Also replay indefinitely .

[@taraharris9598]

Do anyone do the serrated thinners in left hand pairs?

[@paulinedavis8734]

✂️👍

[@iwannabethebestmom09]

Do you have a curved blending shears?

[@GoGroomer]

yes, curved blending shears are a waste of money because they are bent after manufacturing which causes them the lock teeth and hard to sharpen.

[@valeriekuhn3746]

Who the heck can pay $200 for a shear? Unless you're a pro, but I don't have that kind of $$$$ to throw around!

[@GoGroomer]

You don’t have to purchase these tools, you can take you dog for routine grooming with a professional who has invested in all the right equipment. Knowing how much we spend on proper tools gives you a whole new appreciation I’m sure 😊

[@dottyk1637]

Actually, buy the best you can afford. Buying better equipment of anything, it pays for itself in the long run, better metals/manufacturing allows the cutting edge to stay sharp longer and the action is easier on your hands. P.S. I've researched, full customized shears can be $1000 plus, absolutely gorgeous!

[@byangelcindy]

Lol what a sad mindset you have Valerie 😂
