Sophie is my dog and she is 11 years old. She is an AKC Grand Champion. She is the joy of our life. She was bred by Huntcrest Cavaliers a little north of Chicago. I received her at 12 weeks old and got her Grand Champion title. Thank you Leslie for such a wonderful dog. She deserves the best and Susanne is certainly the best groomer ever. She LOVES going to Susanne every month for her SPA day. Susanne is so gentle and kind and does the grooming techniques that most groomers just don’t know how to do. She looks good enough to go into the show ring. I am so grateful to find such a great, professional groomer who LOVES THE WORK AND THE DOGS.

This is the most informative video on grooming a cavalier I've ever seen. These techniques will make a huge difference for my two cavaliers!

Typical Cavalier laying down for a little break during the groom! What a little sweetheart. Thank you for the amazing tutorial!

[@cald1660]

You are AMAZING! I purchased all the tools you linked to. I got everything except the fine-tooth deshedding rake and the horse-thing (waiting for them to arrive). I started with the large deshedding rake today and it worked just as you illustrated. SO much hair came out. I then did the carding knife. When my girl stood up, it looked 2-3 inches were taken off each side of her hips! She had become SO WOOLY, and I thought she needed a haircut. So glad I found your video - she didn’t need a haircut! She just needed all that hair removed, that I didn’t realize was apparently sitting in her coat (except for the horrible shedding - that may’ve been a sign). THANK YOU so much!!!!!!!!

[@lindsaypledge5233]

I wish I would have seen this video 15 years ago with my cavalier! So informative, thank you for sharing! I hope to get another cavalier, and when I do, I’ll come back to this video and groom him like this!

I wish I had seen this video before I had my first Cavalier. I obviously did a lot of grooming incorrectly. When I adopt my next Cavalier, I will review this video again so I purchase the right grooming equipment. Very educational. Thank you so much.

Oh my goodness, Suzanne! I have been waiting at least 10 years for a Cavalier grooming video like you have provided us! You share so much good information about the structure of the Cav and how the grooming should be done to show off the lovely angles of the body and enhance the best features of the head and neck. I have all the tools and products needed to achieve grooming success and now, with this wonderful video, I think I will get a much better result! Thank you so much. I’m a fan😊!

Wow! I am impressed with your grooming skills. We have a black and tan male Cavalier and he gets a once a month bath and brush at the groomers and has a lot of fur, too. Now I know why he sheds all year long. I can do the carding on my sweet Churchill. My husband and I love black and tan Cavaliers.

[@TailWaggyDog]

Lol I can't decide which I love the best, one day it's the Blenheim, the next it's the tricolour, 2 days later it's the ruby.. I think I just love Cavs.. Or maybe it's the old scent-hound adage also applies? -that "No good hound is ever a bad colour"!

[@he2pockysticks]

Hi! Thank you so much for this super informative, wonderful video. I've been grooming for 10 years, & I'm surprised at how limited the knowledge is amongst groomers about hand-stripping, & carding.. I have a tri-color Cavalier request that has come to me for years.. She always comes in with such a strange, inconsistent, whispy coat. The white hairs are always soft & frizzy, the black "gaurd hairs" hairs are always stringy. I had a feeling that it was carding that she needed.. & i try to execute that each time she comes in to me. Unfortunately, i cannot convince the owner to bring her in for more regular grooming 🫤 She will come in once every 4 months... So, no wonder i just can't keep up with it. Also; i love your handling-techniques with the dog.. Your confidence & your professionalism.

[@grandestyledoggrooming]

That is why I state that it is the pet parent's responsibility to learn how to maintain flat coats. It is impossible for a groomer to accomplish a proper groom every 4 months.

Wish I lived near you. Such a patient little Cavi. My 3 year old has a curly coat, and thick, which is tough here in Australian heat. I will go to the pet store straight away and get a carding tool etc. I am old but I will take on the challenge! Thank you for such a good video.

[@TailWaggyDog]

Hi Mairin, I'm in Aus too, you will be lucky to find a carding tool in a pet shop. There are a few Aus groomer supplies online stores that you can pick up a carding knife quite cheap. Most will very happily help you over the phone as well. I think there is great tendency here to shave off longer coats in summer, which doesn't necessarily help the dog, as even the shortest haired dogs are panting to cool down (coz people- DOGS DON'T SWEAT!!!) carding out this dead hair will. Good luck!

[@claudiajackson6208]

Hello. Thank you sooooo much for this video! I have an 18 month old Cavalier and it seemed I was missing something with regards to grooming as I did not want to take her to a groomer or clip her like other Cavs I've seen. I want her to look like a champion! I'm so happy to see this video. Your video is the first video that has answered questions that I had. I brush my dog every day but watched her coat change as she got older. I purchased the tools from your website and have been carding my dog like you demonstrate. What a difference!!! She's starting to look like she's supposed to and not the big square fluff she was turning into. I have a couple of questions: Can you over card the dog? Also, do you trim whiskers or hair around the eyes? I have watched this video a dozen times and I seem something different every time. I have also watched some of your other grooming videos because I am learning from them as well. Great content!!!!! THANK YOU!!! This video has made a difference!!!

[@Sarashine]

Can you over card them?

[@JamesMarston]

Very education video, thank you. Can you please tell me what the comb is called what you used at the end? Would you recommend just brushing with that once a week (in between grooming sessions)? Or should I be doing something more? Thanks

[@TracyHerman-i7j]

This is a WONDERFUL video and just confirms my belief that not all groomers know how to groom a cavalier!! If you are still answering questions, I have a 2 yr old tricolor cav with very similar color patterns to the puppy in the video but where brown, my puppy is black. Do you recommend any products or techniques for brightening the white? I feel as a city dog and hiking regularly, his white paws and leg feathers never get quite white anymore even after a good bath. I'd love something to help. Thank you again!

Watched your channel 1st time today. Saved and Subscribed! I love how you explain what and WHY you do everything. I don’t live near a good groomer. They just want to cut and clip. Often they want to even clip feathery hair off back of legs, shorten her pretty ears etc! I end up trying to groom her myself. She’s a beautiful tricolor with silky straight hair so that 15:13 helps some but your tips on getting the undercoat out are great, will look for the tools. Thanks for your help!

Hi! Thank you so much for this video! I have had no luck finding anyone I feel confident about for grooming my cavalier so decided to try and learn on my own. The last groomer shaved her coat very short! As I've done some research, I find that the AKC breed club says they are a single coated dog yet many other sites say that they are double-coated. And so I'm wondering whether her coat is permanently ruined due to being shaved to about an inch in length. Or can I restore it by following your tips here in this video?

Hello, I’m just beginning my search for King Charles Caviller as a therapy dog. I have always had Pomeranians but want a dog that is a bit larger . I’m very used to grooming my Poms but if I get a Cav I want to use the best grooming tools for my new dog. Is there a list of the tools you demonstrate in your video? I haven’t found it but l perhaps I missed it. I already have a great grooming kit plus cordless grooming electric razor. My main question is the type of brush you used to shampoo my dog and the best comb to use. I don’t think I need a slicker like I use on my Poms but I can’t tell what type of combs you use? I have several types of combs first being a long comb that has teeth that are close and other end wider teeth. I have a comb that also will get 2 ends & a comb that has multi layers to get a close comb. However it looks like you use a longer type of comb that is easy to use on a larger , long haired dog then a Pom but I can’t see it know the name of such a comb. I any to have my tools ready and your video is wonderful to learn to how to groom my new breed of dog. Cavalier appear to make the perfect therapy dog. I’m also used to training service dogs as I have a son with disabilities and have been taught by a professional trainer on the best way to train a service dog. I just lost my best friend, a Pom , that passed away suddenly due to trachea problems. Another reason to look into Caviller’s. I realize Cavalier’s may have heart problems as well as joint problems. The joint issues I’m used to have a therapy dog before my Pom’s that happened to be a long haired Chihuahua ( not the typical breed for a therapy dog so I don’t recommend a Chihuahua as a therapy dog in case one may be thinking about this breed. He was simply a very unusual and amazingly friendly Chihuahua. Not a common trait either in a Chihuahua breed and I groomed him too. A Cavalier appears to have a bit different type of tools that work best on their coats. I’m almost ready just want to get the correct grooming tools. Your video us extremely helpful to understand the grooming process fir a Caviller plus how to have a dog thst truly loves attention. A well groomed dog and personality is vital when bringing a service dog into a doctors office, it’s the thing that helps acceptance and opens doors for therapy dogs. Thanks in advance for telling me where yo find the tools you used. 💕

I need help! 12 years of grooming . I have a 3 years that the client had buzzed “ as a puppy cut” noe the guard hair is growing back curly ? They want flat ! I have taken out under coat , used pumice stone , and under coat rake . Still coming back Curley?? Plz advise 😢

[@grandestyledoggrooming]

Many times once you clipper a flat coat, it is nearly impossible to get the coat back to its original growth pattern. If it were my own dog, I would use a pumice Stone every 3 days with intention, then card once a week. But pet parents rarely ever have the desire to do that. It’s definitely not something that can be done occasionally at the grooming salon. Even maintenance of a coat that has never been clipped requires weekly work to maintain it . This is the problem with most flat coats. The pet parents must learn how to care for them between professional grooms.
