Share what breed(s) of dog you have so we can talk “trimming” here in the comments. 💕 Do you groom your dog at home?

[@astridp9362]

She just turned two and she has always been going to a groomer but since I started watching your amazing videos. I have now started to groom her myself😬. Thank you Amy!

[@GoGroomer]

I am starting a grooming business in our small town from the ground up. Love the information. I have a Shorkie that hates his nails cut and face.

[@MrWhiltetail]

Just learning so I can start grooming my miniature American Eskimo. I have been very unhappy with how most of the local groomers handle my dog & just don't trust them. I hope you have some videos that can help me.

[@ginamilligan9385]

I'm SO GLAD to have found your channel! I love that your methods are so incredibly supportive & comforting for both our dogs & us. My poor Chorkie (Chihuahua-Yorkie) needs her nails trimmed desperately & could really use a haircut. I've been combing through video after video in an attempt to learn how to do these things myself during the COVID-19 lockdown. After watching your nail trimming video, I'm confident I can do that. Hopefully after watching this video again (I've seen it once, ordered my clippers, & now that they've arrived I'm watching it again, just to make sure I've got it down), I'll be ready to put my baby into the bath & get her makeover started! Thanks for doing these invaluable videos!!

[@missrachael1709]

Thank goodness for some expert advice, this gal knows her stuff and cares about the pooch too. I am a groomer with 15 years experience and completely concur with your advice about nothing shorter than a 7f for all the reasons you state. I am in Australia and a dogs coat protects against the heat & cold. Please never clip your collies or Chow Chows or Shepherds or Retrievers or Labs etc etc.

[@GoGroomer]

Amen🙏

[@cecileb8332]

Oh, I'm so happy I found this video. I worked as a bather but really want to start grooming and can't find anyone to teach me. I already used a clipper to help the groomers I was working with, but they never really had the time to explain me in details. I'm ready to purchase my own and first grooming tools and train on my Maltese poodle, this video was very helpful!

[@jesusfreakusaful]

Oh my goodness, I have learned so much from your videos! I do grooming at home for my GSDs and your instructional videos have taught me so much, THANK YOU!

[@GoGroomer]

That is awesome!

[@rapunzeleh546]

thank you! i never had dogs that needed grooming before, then got a Burnadoodle, and ended up with my mom's Schnauzer when she went into an assisted living place. the lady i was taking them to was chargine 5 for the little one and 120 for the big one. in two years it went up to 80 for the little one and 170 for the big one... so invested in two sets of clippers... to be fair, i try to do it while they're sleeping so many times they are done on one side and not the other, but we're not entering any competitions! nice to get the skinny on these things.

[@lindamclaughlin5546]

I have an f1 GoldenDoodle who will be 5 months old on the 29th of this month. I live in Rural central Texas, so not a lot of groomers around. Fortunately have a Church Lady friend who got a similar Doodle about 2 years ago, so I've started picking her brain about her experiences. I'm 75 & have never owned a dog that needed this much attention for grooming; just weekly brushing & Nails. I'm spooked about nails as I've gone too short before, so I'm looking at every video I can to see how to do a better job. My vet will do it for a reasonable fee, but only if I take Jack in for shots or a procedure. I don't want Jack to have a bad experience, so I'm working hard on that skill, so I won't hurt him. Been watching your videos non-stop for about a month, and you inspire confidence Trimmers won't be here for a few weeks, so Jack is getting combed & brushed almost every day. There is just SO much to do with a puppy. Thanks for all you are sharing. I'm watching daily! LindaMc outside Bandera, TX.

[@sunnygirl87]

Make sure you have good nail trimmers. She suggests some. And know, with time and use, they dull. Buy new ones. I was SHOCKED at how new nail clippers sliced so easily. Take little nips. If you practice on a few toes a day, you make it a habit for your pup!

[@carliej4354]

I suggest getting a nail grinder it’s a lot harder to quick a dog since it slowly removed nail.

[@aimeedacosta6864]

[@msluvtodraw2]

Hi Amy. Nice video! I also use blade wash. I use it after brushing the hair out of my blade and before oiling it. I spend a great deal of time cleaning my blades because it’s so important. I was talking to a woman online and she didn’t even realize you were supposed to oil the blades! She said how do you clean them and where do you put the oil? It made me wonder just how many people out there were neglecting them like that! Love ya! Mary 🥴

[@GoGroomer]

Thanks Sweeite:) You are right...a lot of people don't understand how to maintain their blades and clippers. This causes them to not work properly, people get frustrated and throw them aside. That's why we share our secrets Mary on Go Groomer...We make a difference together:) Love you too! Hugs to you and Hubby!!!!!

I have 2 schnauzers. One 2 and one 16. I have to take great care of my 16 year old. Groomers don’t like older dogs because you have to groom in increments of time. Takes a long time. I am about to order clippers because mine is at least 30 years old. Just had it sharpened and cleaned by a professional. I will follow the guide in clipper blades. Thank you so much for all your information. So, what jacket (grooming frock) do you use...I have dog hair all over me...I now wear a mask. But my cloths I have to wash right after I do any clipping. I will look on Amazon. Thanks again.

Hey! I love your videos, they are very informative. I recently adopted a dog from a dog shelter. His undercoat is extremely matted right next to the skin, maybe with a 5mm growth underneath the mats. In my city there are no reliable professional groomers, so I need to remove his coat myself. He’s got a very thick double layered coat. You say in this video that anything below a 7 is dangerous for the dog’s skin. But I would need to go with a 6mm-5mm blade in, otherwise the mats will not come out. What would you advise in this situation?

[@GoGroomer]

Any video on my channel shaving matted dogs you will see I use a 7 blade: my choice.

[@F1reb1ad3]

Great video, thank you!

[@GoGroomer]

My pleasure 😊

[@konukuauleki]

what all the letters after the numbers mean? F, FC, WF....thanks for all the knowledge you are sharing.

[@GoGroomer]

F="finish cut" for smooth finish but I use the for pre-trimming too. FC="Finish cut" SK= "skip toothed blade" Note...different blade manufacturers have different naming conventions for their blade but "F" and "FC" are the same:) Hope this helps:)

[@kemiakikko]

Thank you. This was very helpful ❤️

[@kathleendunmore470]

I have a Golden doodle. I have now tried twice to groom and trim my dog. Holy cow it takes forever. I believe it is due to my dog's thick hair but also, the lousy clipper I have.

[@persianchris2451]

Great Video!! Some of these groomers who have 200k suck! You are truly a good example... I have a German Malinois (German Shepherd / Belgian Malinois Mix). She is mainly INDOOR with me. I know not to shave her double coat and that it can take 2 years (give or take) to regrow, risk promoting bug bites, and ruin protection against the sun, etc.. That's why I mention she's indoor with me mainly. Do you think cutting with a 1-2inch clipper would be bad? What do you think is ideal in regards to utilizing clippers? I brush her, I use deshedding shampoo + conditioner once a month sometimes once every 2 months, but I'd like to ask your opinion on this topic so I make the safest decision - after I compare your answer across other research of course because I care THAT much :)

[@GoGroomer]

I am so glad you reached out to me and thank you for your faith in my grooming knowledge. I'm going to tell you what I would do If your shepherd was my dog... I see you understand the purpose of your beautiful dogs coat and the importance of properly caring for it so it can do it's job for your pet. Please watch this video COMPLETELY as I made it for pet owners with double coated dogs. I want to hear your thoughts in a comment after you watch that video:) Cutting into a double coat will absolutely effect the regrown and undercoat to top coat ratio. Hope this helps my friend:) kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3_Jl6NtrMmBaac

I looked on amazon and there are so many options I wanted to just purchase what you recommend. But almost all of the product you have linked is out of stock. For a very new beginner should I just purchase anything and start from there or should I try getting the tools from a different source. Thanks for your help!

I just got my KM10 yesterday and can’t wait to use it. I’m going to order more clipper blades but not so sure should I go with Poodles - Kennel Trim or Poddles Summer Trim. I’ve Labardoodle and we leave in FL. Appreciate your help. Poodles - Kennel Trim Matted Coat - 7F Face, Feet, & Base of Tail - 10 or 15 Body & Legs - 5, 4, 3 Top Knot & Tailpiece - Scissors Poodles - Summer Trim - Bikini Trim Face, Feet, & Base of Tail - 10 or 15 Body & Legs - 7F or 5F Pom-poms, Top Knot & Tail Pom - Scissors Stomach - 10

[@GoGroomer]

Suteera C That’s awesome! I would go with the kennel trim-#7 blade. Living in Florida we definitely have warm temperatures but don’t forget the sun is also quite intense and if you go any shorter than a seven, your poodles could get sunburn. Have fun with your trimming:)

[@suteerac3159]

I got everything I wanted and first time used the Wahl KM10 with blade #10 and F7 yesterday. My Labardoodle looks like he walked out from the groomer shop. Wish I can send you a picture. My husband said that my dog has the best hair cut. His hair looks evenly. Wow!!!! What a big difference result using the good tool. I was scared at the beginning and keep replayed your VDO to get it right and make sure it safe for my lovely boy. The only area that I still can’t do it is around his paws. The V shape cut. He doesn’t stand still. Any advise/tip? Thank you so much to share your knowledge to all of us.

Suteera C I’m so proud of you!! Great to hear 😊 I have a video called itens to keep your dog safe on the grooming table that could help you;) hope it helps 💕

[@orestesdd]

Just today, I decided I will do my pet grooming with my own yorkie, and thus I just ordered at amazon a Wahl Clipper Pet Pro Combo Kit - Model 9284. I wonder if you can tell me what blade size do you recommend to use with a yorkie? By the way, aren't detachable blade clipper too expensive to use by a non-professional at home? I believe the clipper which I mentioned above is a non-detachable clipper. Thank you for your informative video.

[@ElvenSorcerer]

This video is awesome!!! I really appreciate you showing how to care for the clippers at the end. Just a few questions. Is it possible to wait too long after caring for the clippers and have to re-oil before clipping? Where can you go to sharpen clipper blades? Just wondering if it's better to just buy new ones when they don't cut as well vs pay some service fee to sharpen. Thank you!!!

[@Bigfish1day]

Great video, very nice looking groomer. I have an Australian Shepard, definitely would like to see a trimming video. I don't want to shave or cut coat just trimming tips.

[@nancybrennan5536]

I am confused, Amy! I have a mini Bernedoodle with curly hair. You said, " the higher the number, the shorter the clip." Ok..got that...and I got that 30 is very, very short but is ok for just the pads of the feet. But you also said that 7 is too short..don't go shorter, yet you said you like to use a 10. Well isn't a 10 shorter than a 7? Or were you only referring to 10 for sanitary trim and ears and pads of feet (rather than 30)? What am I misunderstanding? Please help straighten me out. If I want him to have some length on his body and legs, should I use a 4 or 5 since you said 7 is too short? I love your videos.

[@GoGroomer]

Nancy Brennan you are correct on all accounts. The 7 is the shortest blade I would use on the body of a dog. If you want to leave a little length then use a 4 on the body and legs.

I have an Anatolian Shepherd in Texas. For his comfort, we give him monthly hair cuts. Occasionally, I'll pay to have it done, but that's about $150 for a decent clip. He's also lazy. He just lays down and I clip one size at a time. He's pretty awesome. What size blade would you recommend? He is double coated. It normally takes about two hours to clip him.
