THANK you for stating at the BEGINNING why you clipped her. Thank you for understanding that not all owners are trying to keep your pocketbook lean - that some of us do want to take care of our babies and hopefully what we do at home helps them to be less stressful for you as a groomer! The more I watch and learn, the more I appreciate the art of grooming and appreciate you as a professional!

[@patriciah6063]

My breeder, who has over 25 years experience breeding and showing Cavaliers all over the world, strongly advised against ever shaving my dog’s hair short like this because it’ll grow back thick and curly like the dog in the video rather than flat and silky as a Cavalier’s coat should be. Cavaliers, btw, have a single coat, rather than a double coat. It looks like this is not this dog's first haircut, given what my breeder said. If you want to keep your dog’s coat flat and silky as it should be, brush daily and don't ever, ever allow the coat to be shaved off down to the skin.

[@andrewaustin9090]

Unfortunately once the coat is clipped it's hard to go back to hand stripping or carding

[@GoGroomer]

Her coat was clipped prior to becoming a client with me. Conditioning is the key factor in maintaining this coat properly. Brush often and bath/conditioner every three weeks.

[@GabrielBadwolf]

What you talking about, the fact they’re double coated is why they say not to shave them because the undercoat doesn’t grow back in properly. They’re definitely double coated dogs. No shade on Go Groomer for shaving that coat. It’s already messed up and would probably be less stress on the dog to just shave that off.

[@Till0629]

@@GabrielBadwolf actually, they are single coated per the American Kennel Club

[@patriciah6063]

@@GoGroomer The title of your video, though, gives people looking to do a DIY groom all the wrong information about doing it properly. Given this discussion, I'm surprised you haven't added some kind of caveat warning people that this was only done because the dog's coat was not properly cared for and had been clipped very short before. Hopefully, people will read this discussion. I'd hate to see a dog's perfectly good coat be potentially ruined.

[@alisonleigh100]

Hi Amy! I’ve been grooming for 2 months and did my first Cavy today 🥰 I definitely felt like I was winging it because even though I’m a “grooming trainee”, my salon leader was not around to tell me what to do. So tonight I decided to hop on KZbin and watch some Cavy grooming videos! ❤

Thank you for this grooming video! I discovered your channel a year ago, when I needed to groom my Cavalier KC during shutdown. This recent video was so helpful, since breed specific!

Whatever the owner prefers and this is a great video Amy showing us how to make our Cavaliers look good. I don't show so I can cut her any way I wish.... I love the look and love the fact that you did clean the face and around the ears..what a great job

[@rylanblack8571]

It is unfair to shave a cav unnecessarily. They have an undercoat that keeps them warm in the winter, and cool in the summer. The hair will never grow back in properly. If you don’t want to maintain it, you should consider a different breed.

[@amandastainsby4480]

What a transformation, enjoying your videos Amy learning so much. 💕

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Thank you very much for sharing. We also own Cavi and did tons of research... although they are not supposed to be shaved or cut short as they don't have 2 layers coat but only 1.... you did well. the same for feet... grinch feet is the look for this breed... you did well and I understand why you did it.. I like how gentle you were with him.

[@krispasheva819]

Hallo there :) I'm a big fan of yours from far far Bulgaria. Really like what you're doing. I learn a lot from you, cause I started to do grooming 6 months ago. You really help me. Thank you!

[@phoenixcavaliers]

Amy your grooming technique is absolutely perfect. However, this is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel not a Cocker Spaniel. I have owned a total of 17 Cavaliers now and have no problem with cutting their coat but the one thing you never do is cut their face face hair and the dome of their head. Your work on her paws EXCELLENT. BUT please don’t shave again the face or dome of the head. Owners, Breeders, Showers & Certain Groomers of Cavaliers actually do the pulling of undercoat on Cavaliers.

[@HejTuNatalia]

Exactly! Omg this dog doesn't look like a cavalier anymore its sad...I have a tricolor cavalier puppy and I would never clip her coat, you do this only if it's really matted with sth sticky and you are not able to remove it otherwise. Maybe the owners wanted it that way because they cannot take care of their dog with brushing everyday etc. but in this case you dont buy a cavalier but a French bulldog or sth lol.

[@phoenixcavaliers]

@@HejTuNatalia it sickens me that these Groomers posts these videos stating how to “Perfectly Groom” your, well she didn’t even get the name correct so that should tell everyone something from the START!!! They are called Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Hey I get it not everyone can handle the hair of a Cavalier but for the Love of the Breed be respectful and that is for all Purebred Dogs. Don’t people know including groomers that dogs and cats can get sunburns on their skin when you shave them? Shaving a dog does not make them cooler. How about stop being LAZY Parents/Owners and brush your pets like you wash your kids. Blows my mind the pure laziness of people and some groomers.

[@tammyryan1761]

Omg wtf is with these comments. I have two and I have to get them shaved every summer due to the extreme heat in summer over here in aus. They still look beautiful shaved, as they look like puppies again.

[@patriciah6063]

@@tammyryan1761 Actually, animals’ coats, even long and thick ones, protect them from overheating. Shaving a dog’s coat off removes its natural protection from BOTH heat and cold. The only fur that should come off is what the animal sheds naturally.

[@chickennuggetpaw]

Yeah, if you want it to look a certain way, but for the most part, I don’t see the problem. As long as the dog is happy and comfortable (and not filthy cuz long hair dogs get dirt in their fur so fast lol)

[@vickieswartout9175]

Awesome technique and the Cavalier looks so beautiful! 😃

[@rogerchaucer275]

Wow Amy, your groom is a perfect transformation! Snuggles seemed to handle the stress of a likely first pro groom really well; a true benefit of your knowledge in quickly assessing and envisioning the best groom for both the pet and owner, and skill in dealing with the coat and calmly and confidently interacting with the dog throughout the process. So great to view your scissoring techniques, as well. Thanks for sharing and teaching!

[@retiredgamblers3517]

I give my cavies a good groom like that in the beginning of spring.. We love camping and trail hiking with ours.. They were covered in ticks. We learned a good lesson. Flea and tick collars are not always effective, but blading them for the summer is. By fall their beautiful coat is growing out.

Thanks learned a few things.

I've been waiting for this grooming video for a while. Snuggles is so sweet and very calm considering it was her first professional groom. That was a lot of undercoat :O never thought a small dog could have so much undercoat. I groomed my Cavalier using one of your previous Spaniel mix videos and also used your Golden Retriever de-shedding video. Cavaliers can be small but they shed a lot of fur, it's crazy. And my Cavalier doesn't even have that much undercoat like Snuggles does. Thank you for sharing your techniques with us!

Great session. Using a loofa when bathing at home has been so wonderful on my cavalier king charles spaniels, Gracie and Baxter. Thanks again for all the tips. My rescue shih tzu has benefited from your advice and techniques too!

[@magamagagaga]

Wait! How do you use the loofah? I am learning to groom my Cavalier at home so all of this is new to me. Is the loofah in another video?

[@barbroberts3153]

@@magamagagaga Amy from Go Groomer has some great videos on how to give a dog a bath. Check them out! She has a bathing system, but you don't need high tech tools to give a good bath. I just thoroughly wet the dog, and then wet the loofah and then put a small amount of dog shampoo on it after the dog's coat is thoroughly wet. Then gently run the loofah over the dog's body. It will soap nicely and makes it easy to cover the dog evenly. I use a separate loofah for the conditioner. Be sure to rinse, rinse, rinse between each application of product. Enjoy your Cavalier. They are a wonderful dog breed.

[@magamagagaga]

Thank you so much for your answer! I watched last night her videos until 2 am :) and realized how little I know about grooming properly my Cavi. Ordered products today and will get two loofahs, it is a great advice! And the Cavies, oh I don’t have enough words to describe how much I love mine! Thank you again!

My lovely dog Jasper loves to rollin dirt and or anything muddy it is easier to have the under body short.

I have a tricolor cavalier whose coat is long and straight but very fine and thick so he often looks bushy even though I use flattening products. I've always done his grooming and I love the look of the long skirts but it is a lot of work. So I'm thinking about giving him a partial cut this spring/summer but not nearly as much as you've done with this girl. I actually prefer the complete natural look of this breed and don't want to turn my boy into a cocker spaniel look. So using your tips I think I will trim off the top and use the thinning shears to take the weight off his legs without losing the skirt entirely. The side skirts, which would typically graze the ground if I let them, I'll trim those up to about the knees I guess. Also, I usually shave his belly in the hot months but if I go too wide then his skirts look to thin - which is not attractive. If you post replies I would appreciate any advice, suggestions or comments.

[@cydkriletich6538]

Wow! You did a beautiful job on this sweet and well-behaved dog! We have a 5 month old Cavapoo/Cavoodle (Cavalier/Poodle mix), and she has proven very difficult to even just brush; she keeps turning around to try and bite the brush! She’s a squirmy pup, too. I was surprised how well Snuggles did when you worked on her ears. Cavaliers are known for having sensitive ears and strongly averse to having their ears simply touched, let alone groomed as well as you did. Our pup doesn’t like her ears touched at all. I’m afraid our groomer is going to have a challenge on her hands! If we lived anywhere near you, I’d love to have you as our girl’s groomer. Good job! 🐶💞💞

Thank you so much for this particular video. I had just started back grooming for a franchise after a 7 year break and my confidence was a bit low. I had a lovely Cav booked in for a full clip. They wanted the furnishings kept which I did. He also had a fluffy coat and I chose to use a number 7 on the top line and blend. He looked gorgeous and I was proud. Well the owners went off!! I mean really off. I am good with confrontation and staying calm. I referred them immediately to my manager. They got a refund but kept their next appointment. They are first time Cav owners and the breeder told them to never clip a Cav ever. They were under the impression the coat on the top line was like a drop coat breed. The wife told me I had ruined their dog etc 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ She was almost crying. My manager was on my side. They were a no show to the next appointment they specifically asked to keep but I wouldn’t want to see them again anyway 😳 I know that Cav’s get carded but his coat wasn’t up to scratch and he wasn’t a show dog (I only groom pets) What an ordeal 😂😂🐾🐾

[@rebeccastrawbridge5853]

This is an amazing video to watch and a dramatic transformation. The groomer is obviously very experienced. That being said, I would be shocked and horrified if I returned for my Cavalier and found him with this cut. His beautiful fur is a feature of the breed, even if not a show dog. Please be sure your clients know what to expect. Once shaved, a Cavalier’s coat will never be the same silky texture as before.

[@cassandranegri2052]

Thanks Rebecca, I am usually a great communicator and felt confident that we both understood what was going to happen in the groom. I had just taken over from another groomer who resigned without warning and had been thrown into trying to get through too many appointments. I did feel really bad. I didn’t take furnishings/feathering down and left them quite long and just trimmed. They recently rang to book in again but I don’t feel comfortable with them so my manager agreed to do bath and nails only. His coat is still silky which is a relief. Hopefully she will find another groomer soon or even better she can watch Go Groomer and do it at home. I didn’t shave her dog down like most spaniels in my local area get done but the top line was. After this I have been over the top with repeating what my clients ask for just in case.

Hi Amy, I've really enjoyed many of your KZbin videos the last couple weeks! I have a new little guy (Bailey) Cavalier King Charles and I'm looking to set myself up to be able to groom him. My overall question for you is what combination of shears, etc would work best for the CKC breed? I've been looking at Kenchii and a few varieties seem to stand out to me, namely the T-series, the Five Star series and the Shinobi series. Your Sapphire series with the even handle curved shear is nice since it can be used inside or outside (good versatility!). Kenchii makes a nice slicker brush and I will definitely be getting one of those. The Kenchii rakes look very nice for carding but I'm not sure if a 40 tooth or a 23 tooth would be best for the CKC breed? Kenchii is running a Black Friday sale this weekend and I'm hoping to order some stuff soon. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Again, many thanks for the videos 🙂

I was just going to ask but I see she didn’t respond at all. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hi Amy, I'm not a professional groomer, just a dad to a wonderful Cavalier King Charles youngster. Specifically, I'm wondering if I should just get a Kenchii Level 3 (Shinobi or other?) 46 or finer blender or if I would be better off getting a Level 2, 3 piece set (fine blender, curved and straight shear)?

[@GoGroomer]

All you need is a level 1 or 2 straight and blender.

[@grega1207]

@@GoGroomer Thanks Amy, Kenchii was having a good Cyber Monday sale so I picked up that level 2, T-Series set along with a Flash5 clipper (for the sanitary grooming), a slicker brush, a boars hair brush, a comb, and that 23 tooth rake you suggested! I'll be set to keep Mr. Bailey looking good. I've enjoyed watching many of your videos and I like how you interact and have a really sweet time with the dogs, you really have a passion for what you do and it not only shows, its appreciated! Thanks again 🙂

This cavalier has definitely been shaved a lot before that’s why her coat is so curly I love the way you talk to her💖🐾Hugs Kell

I would like to say first off that I do not recommend shaving a double coated dog (yes I know, 🙄), but that being said, there are times when it's just necessary!! Carding and stripping is wonderful and works, but sometimes our little *spayed* Cavaliers coats change after being spayed and it becomes more course and frizzy/crazy. I know my girl's did! And she believes she's a Labrador. Always wants to be in the water, rooting around in the dirt, running the trails or playing fetch. Needles to say I have a Cavalier who constantly comes in with new mats. Plus she has Chiari-like malformation with Hydrocephalus, so grooming her is painful for her. It's also horribly painful for me as I have become ill. So yeah, I might have to buckle down and partially shave my girl because it'll save us both some pain and suffering. I did just order a greyhound carding knife and I'm hoping it works for us!

Have you dealt/do you do anything to prevent groomers lung? Thinking about becoming a pet groomer but I don't know if I want to take that risk

[@GoGroomer]

Wear a mask and no worries.

This is kinda off topic... I'm a groomer and I'm always struggling to find a comfortable and functional smock. I'm watching the video and noticed your smock and just had to ask...would you be willing to share a link where to purchase? Thank you! Btw... love your videos!

Is it true you're not supposed to shave a double coat??

[@danieladuga5215]

O sweet puppy

[@candicers7697]

Wow! I’m on the wait list for two Cavaliers. This video kinda freaked me out. Lol. Guess I’ll need to find a good groomer.

[@GoGroomer]

It you brush your 2 cavaliers daily you can enjoy that beautiful coat. They are such gorgeous dogs:)

[@kimberly3628]

I got my baby at a puppy mill a year ago . . What can I do to keep him calm? Any help would be great he hates his paws touched

[@GoGroomer]

Patience and consistency.

[@joannlamothe6640]

I brought my Cavalier to the groomers and they cut the underneath of his ears very short and now my cavy is shaking his head all the time and seems very uncomfortable. Is there anything I can do for him? Is it because his hair is too short or is it dry and I should condition it? I don't know if I should give him another bath or not.

[@GoGroomer]

Clipper irritation. Put anti itch cream on the area to soothe the skin.

[@karlavalle4068]

I have a problem with my dog, I bought a cavalier but from the beginning it seemed strange to me because it had a lot of hair on its face, cavaliers normally do not have much hair on their faces, and I wanted to know if there are cavaliers with hairy faces

[@GoGroomer]

Not hairy faces. They can grow a fuzzy layer on their muzzle but not always.

[@isabellalindert]

I just got my new cavapoo puppy Gus and I want to be able to groom him myself, but it’s hard to find videos on mixes. I’m not sure if I should follow more of the poodle or cavalier style groom

[@GoGroomer]

Congratulations! This video will help:) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zmm1hpiuqrp8fZI

[@melanierose9015]

My Cavapoo definitely has more of a poodle coat. I like the video Any shared as well as her golden doodle videos!

[@BaktaBak3]

Found you via Suzanne Grande 😃 My friend just got a King Charles Cavalier and wants me to groom him so I tuned in to see your video. Thanks for posting this !

[@GoGroomer]

Awesome! Just a tip…card the coat with a coat king. If you groom this coat every 4-6 weeks properly that is the right way to approach grooming to cavalier. Not clipping the coat🤞
