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🙏

[@paulinedavis8734]

Just bought the Wahl Km10, it came with the 10 blade, and I got the Wahl original Comb Attachments ( they had a new version of Wahl combs attachments, but they looked flimsy or less sturdy) so I went with the original ones ...and of course the Andis Cool Care & Oil. The KM 10 CLIPPER is AMAZINGLY QUIET wow wow, just wow ! Trying to get an attachment on was TRICKY, but I get it now...the spring action on the bottom lip.

[@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.

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!!

[@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!

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.

[@ioanabranisteanu1281]

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.

[@margareta2744]

I have two shih tzu’s since the COVID-19 they are pretty bad I’ve ordered everything I would think I need.

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 🥴

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.

Hello, I have working Great Pyrenees, I understand we are in a warmer climate then what the breed prefers. I do not want to "shave them" I would like to trim and take out some mats. I picked up the Oyster A5 turbo with the #10, I also picked up #5 skiptooth based on the guide. I started and the #5 would not even get into the coat . I am VERY aware of the dangers of hurting them and too short . Any tips?

[@GoGroomer]

This is a challenge. Bathing, brushing, and conditioner and force drying will loosen the mats and help free the coat of dead undercoat causing the mats. A job like this is a process of daily, weekly, monthly maintenance. It cannot be achieved through the occasional groom. Best wishes!

Wondering what mm to go for??

[@rkgrant16]

Most blades will tell you the blade #, and also the length in mm. It all depends on how short you want it. A #3 blade cuts and leaves 1/2" or 13mm. A #4 leaves 3/8" or 9.5mm. #5 leaves 1/4" or 6mm. A #7 leaves 1/8" or 3.2mm. Definitely, do your research first if you're unsure of blade lengths before you use them.

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 :)

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 want to buy the clipper set you talked about, but Amazon is so expensive. I'm 81 on S/S and can't afford my groomer anymore so have to learn to trim her myself. Is there less expensive kit I can buy? Plus scissors. My Maltese Cheri needs my help to keep her cute. I love your video and instructions. So happy I found you on KZbin.

Oh boy, when we compromise price we lose quality. I wish I had a inexpensive solution for you and you girl but there is not a cheat set that is safe and works well:(

I enjoyed your video very informative. I have two English Cocker Spaniel’s that I’m grooming at home. Do you have a video for that breed?

[@Lexielamb2015]

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.

[@PURPLEFINK1]

Maybe I missed it , but which blade would you use for the paw pads ?

[@GoGroomer]

10 blade is you are a beginner, 30 if you are experienced.

Could you please do a video on how to cut a Chinese Crested? My dog would appreciate it!

[@GoGroomer]

I love the breed but don not have any clients. I’ll see if I can locate one for demo:)
