Hes a big smile baby

[@missdaisysunshine8633]

Love how calm and happy all pups are in the video ❤

[@brittanysmoke9420]

So fluffy

[@GumriRN]

Yeah Such a handsome boy 🐶 and ITCHY too. Exactly what my Aussie does post grooming. 🤣

[@reneemontbriand3590]

How long is the curved scissors being used?

[@JRADMAKES]

I already like this because my little girls fur condition looks just like that. Thank you 🙏

[@carlosjlopez7328]

Nice job Gabby!! I like your videos!!

[@gabbyspetspaw]

Thank you 😊. I’m glad you like them 🐶😘

[@angelagroody4140]

Is he a certain type of Aussie that makes him so thick and fluffy? Im absolutely in love

[@gabbyspetspaw]

I don’t think so, he is just a little overweight.

[@angelagroody4140]

@@gabbyspetspaw oh okay haha thank you!

[@savannah9479]

mini aussies tend to have a bit of a thicker build like this bc they are more compacted, but male aussies are also broader build. Female aussies tend to be a lot slimmer but still fluffy

[@gabbyspetspaw]

I love mini aussies! Honestly, I love Australian Shepherds in general. This one was not mini at all tho 😂.

[@savannah9479]

@@gabbyspetspaw i own a mini aussie and a standard aussie! both are such amazing girls :) i originally thought this dog was because of its build but then i saw you next to it and realized there is no way he was a mini lol😂

[@xiomaravazquez80]

Quedó hermoso. Un cliente muy tranquilo.

[@gabbyspetspaw]

Gracias! 😘🐶

[@galashestopal2867]

i wanna take my aussie to a professional groomer, but afraid no one would be able to deal wih his fluffy but. he hates anything that touches his coat, he hates brushes! the only time i can brush his coat is when he's eating, and its only 2 mins, not enough!! any idea on how he would be handled by a professional? or they would not take a stubborn dog like this?

[@gabbyspetspaw]

Gala Shestopal sometimes dogs are stubborn with the owner and when they go to the groomer they do just fine. Research a good groomer near your area and go talk to them. Explain them your dog’s situation and give them a try.

[@lmauser8490]

That's true about them acting differently with the groomer. My girl hardly lets me brush her. But the groomer said she behaved very well for her.

[@savannah9479]

you have to train him to like being brushed, bc it's sooo important to brush between groomings so they don't get matted. What we did was held treats in one hand and brushed with the other and slowly started giving them less until eventually they only got a treat at the end. we also got an undercoat rake to speed up the process a bit

@@gabbyspetspaw, my vet said the same about my hot shot teen boy Aussie when they trimmed his nails, “best we’ve ever had!” WHAAAA?!?

[@MissBudgerigar]

Wow, you are truly amazing! Beautiful work! Im going to school to become a dog groomer now in August and I really hope to become this good 😍 A question, about the undercoat removal, is that just brushing and then the rest of the hairs disapear in the shower and blowdrying?

[@gabbyspetspaw]

Thank you! I’m sure you will. Undercoat removal is not only brushing. You need to remove the undercoat in the shower by blow drying or brushing it out and then you can use a rake or brush when dryed. There is this new device that really helps with the process. It is a nozzle from sav-ur-fur. I hope this helped. Good luck with grooming school. I’m sure you will do great.

[@moremerry57]

@@gabbyspetspaw, 😄 I think you’ll agree: it doesn’t just “disappear”! Wet or dry, in the salon or the living room...or on your clothing, or in your car...there is DEFINITELY manual removal involved! 😉😜

[@gabbyspetspaw]

😂

[@ariannabonilla7309]

Wow absolutely beautiful job free hand cutting on the back legs I hope i can do as good of a job as you !

[@gabbyspetspaw]

Thank you!

[@Xhannti]

Hello, does the fluffy butt fur grow back? I keep reading mixed answers online. My Aussie got trimmed in the back but it’s too short for my liking. :( Thanks!

[@gabbyspetspaw]

Yes, It will grow back

[@Xhannti]

@@gabbyspetspaw Thank you so much for replying! Do you know how long it usually takes to grow back? This is my Aussie’s first trim.

[@gabbyspetspaw]

That I don’t know, but it will grow back again.

[@kkorrine77757]

Xhannti I adopted mine and he was cut pretty short and it took almost two years for his hair to grow long again unfortunately

[@haileycox2305]

I have a question for you. So my aussie hair is super dry and dull and won’t lay straight down on his lower back. What can I do for this? It’s hard to explain

[@gabbyspetspaw]

Hi, ask your veterinarian if you can give him supplements for his skin and coat. Also, make sure he does not have any kind of skin infection. You can also check his diet and see if you can improve it.

[@nickpirone7087]

Wow he was so fat. He’s lost a lot of weight. I’m his dad. He’s on Instagram @tyson.foods feel free to follow his weight loss journey ! Such a good haircut! Thank you !

[@gabbyspetspaw]

Aww thank you!

[@shleebeez]

nice song and whata fluffer

[@gabbyspetspaw]

Thank you 😊

[@willowtheaussie7380]

A little too short in the back 😲 Nice everywhere else!

[@Bg1rl]

How badly do they shed on like a regular daily basis?

[@gabbyspetspaw]

There are a couple of factors that influence in shedding. Care, diet, weather and breeding. A healthy dog it is not supposed to shed that much. If you groom him/her regularly, you can keep the shedding under control.

[@KFinch.]

Aussies shed year round, spring more heavily when they lose their winter coats. I brush my girls coat weekly to avoid matting.

[@Bg1rl]

K. Finch like do I have to worry bout hair shedding throughout the house? Like if they lay on my bed or the couch for example

[@gabbyspetspaw]

linda diaz it all depends on how well you take care of their coat. If you groom your dog regularly, there is going to be shedding, but not as much as if you groom him 2 a year. You should get your puppy on a schedule and do de-shedding baths. That will control the shedding.

[@KFinch.]

linda diaz as gabby stated if you have them on a schedule it helps. But overall I still see hair etc. just not as bad.

[@kaiaenglish1615]

I have heard that it is bad to remove their undercoat because it acts like insulation, is that true. Ive also heard it may not grow back.

[@gabbyspetspaw]

Kaia English you remove the extra undercoat, not the whole thing. It is bad to shave down to the skin, but it does come back.

[@moremerry57]

Kaia, someone garbled the message. As Gabby said, you DO remove the undercoat. In fact, if you don’t the dig will suffer: overheating, mats that pull the skin, and hot spots (this amount of hair is the result of man’s intervention - wild figs don’t have this). But NEVER cut the overcoat, which will be long and likely glossy and lovely! ♥️ 😊

[@bullylife4303]

I just bought a 8 week old Red Merle Aussie. At what age should i start worrying about haircuts

[@gabbyspetspaw]

Aussies shouldn’t get a heavy haircut. No shaving! Start at 12-15 weeks with baths, nails and ears. Brush, brush, brush and when it’s time trim her feathers and paws.

[@moremerry57]

@@gabbyspetspaw ♥️ thank you! I know groomers know this, but I’ve known TOO MANY insistent, unread Aussie owners who just “knew” their Aussies were too hot - and ruined their gorgeous coats. BTW, so many vids feature merle aussies - what a mistake. Tri-colors are as magnificent as any. The ONLY reason I have a merle now is I was afraid I would expect too much of it: expect it to be like my beloved Cyrus. And that’s just not right.

[@MeMe-cd1wy]

Did not remove undercoat

[@gabbyspetspaw]

You can’t see it well on the video but it did removed undercoat.

[@pguerriera]

oh he is big alright lol

[@gabbyspetspaw]

😂 yes! If only I had the Sav-ur-fur nozzle back then.

[@ryleighlong4229]

That is not a huge Australian shepherd. Very small

[@gabbyspetspaw]

He was chunky 😂

Didn't teach anything ..
