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.

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!!!!!!!!

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"!

[@MairinT]

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!

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!

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?

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!

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!!!

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. 💕

When there is less drag and pull through the coat and less coat is coming out.

Great video & gorgeous customer! Is a Carding tool similar to one of those tools that claim to be able to get knots/mattes out? I'd never use one of those tools to get a knot out, however, could one of those work as a makeshift carding tool if it's just run through the hair around the neck & down the back etc? It would work to thin the hair, but would it thin out 'The Right Hair'? Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated! I groom my CKCS at home & have been looking for the carding tool for a long time as her coat needs it badly but forgot the name; plus it seems this tool goes under different names depending on the shop. One more question... What kind of Pumice Stone is the best to use, is there a kind specific for dog grooming, or would one of the generic stones found in a typical beauty store, Walgreens or CVS do the job correctly & safely? Thank you! 🌟

Hi. My favorite tools are listed in this blog. The pumice for feet and such sold at the drug store Seem to be ineffective for this purpose. groomingsafer.com/tools-link-blogs-by-breed/f/the-best-tools-for-grooming-a-cavalier-king-charles-spaniel?blogcategory=Cavalier+King+Charles

@@grandestyledoggrooming Thank you! Why people would cut or shave a Spaniel's coat is beyond me, no good, must be left natural & keep up on the grooming. Was very glad to see your video explaining this. I have a rake, but the carding blade & pumice stone will be much better for the coat in the long run & can do more detailed contouring. Ok good to know abt the pumice stone. Going to check the list.🙏🙂

What’s the name of that tool you used on the top? I’m typing in cutter tool and it keeps coming up with trimming products.

It is an Artero Super Blade

What carding tool were you using? It looks different from the one you posted on your blog.

Artero super blade

@@grandestyledoggrooming The one in the video has a blade on both sides. The Artero super blade is the one you have listed for suggested tools.

I learned a lot from your video and would like to purchase a carding tool. I have not been able to find the blog and therefore the link. My usual store for supplies has three carding tools and I don't know which to buy. Can anyone help?

What do you recommend for tear stains?

[@grandestyledoggrooming]

I have no solid recommendations aside from what is commonly found through Google searches.
