He is so cute and very calm. What a good boy. The perfect model.

[@wvlady308]

I love how you are showing us close views with the camera

[@palashford4309]

I love the way you cut your schnauzers. That's the way I like them cut. Close and tight. You can see the shape of their cute little frames, how muscular they are, which also makes their faces with their eyebrows and beards stand out more. And that's what makes them so adorable. I don't like the standard skirt that most schnauzers have. I actually prefer their beards and mustaches trimmed more than the standard cut too. Your way of cutting them, IMO, is more attractive and brings out the best in the schnauzer looks. Love your videos. Love your dogs. And I love scrappy little Milo.

[@anital5020]

You do a great job on the boys. I groom one of my schnauzers myself because he will bite others. He will bite me but he has improved. He was in a near fatal accident at 2 months old and suffered brain damage. The vet couldn't say if he would totally recover but since he was only 2 months old there was a good chance. He is a real sweetie but when I clip his ears he guts aggitated. I use a muzzle at that point to protect myself. He has improved and I hope he will eventually stop bitting. He is only 1 year old now. My other schnauzer has gone to the groom all of her 5 years. I could do her too but they make her look so beautiful. I am 62 so I prefer the easy way out. Ha ha.

[@kevinc9515]

Great schnauzer grooming series!

[@janesublett5272]

Your dogs are your dogs are your dogs so how you groom them is exactly the way they should be groomed! I love these videos because I like the way you break down each part. So easy to follow. I've been grooming my 7 yr old since he was a puppy and, to MY mind he is a "show dog" . In reality, he runs in the back yard and retrieves with his lab brother ---two different-sized Chukits, and he is often a macaroon, covered with twigs and leaves. We do a lot of comb-outs here! You are a great teacher and I thank you very much.

[@v.j.l.4073]

I love your Schnauzer face cuts. Less severe, a little more rounded-looking. Thank you, I'm going to be learning to do my own and really appreciate these videos.

[@loveyj5868]

I'm slowly starting learning to groom my girl. I've done 4 times. Each time gets a little better for both of us lol. Love these quick simple videos.

[@lindatublitz1247]

We just clipped our new mini schnauzer for the first time. This video was so helpful. We went out and bought the same grooming tools and tried to follow the instructions just as she explained in the video. Our Jolie came out beautiful and we were so much more confident following such precise instructions.

[@SchnauzerMom]

I'm so glad the video was helpful 😊

[@user-pl7bn2rt2d]

You are doing an awesome job

[@malarae648]

Groomed my schnauzer mix using your videos today! They were very helpful.

[@SchnauzerMom]

I'm glad they helped 😊👍

[@donnalee5015]

i do my two schnauzers all the time liked watching videos can always learn something more

[@The1stMusicbaby7]

this is a great example of home grooming. though I professionally groom for a living, I groom my personal babies at home. it's sooo important to invest in good quality items; these clippers are pro grade 2 speed, the blades are andis, very good brand, and it is so important to have good shears. they stay sharp longer which is safer. Lastly, the table and lead keeps them safe. I thank you for giving these gorgeous schnauzers a great home experience, since home is where they are more comfortable. I personally don't mind home grooming, all I ask of every do-it yourself-er is to do your research and get good quality items. thank you

[@SchnauzerMom]

Thanks so much. Yes I did a lot of research before I even thought about grooming my boys myself 😊

[@rachelm7525]

Thank-you. We have a 6-month old, high-energy mini who's just been twice to the groomer. Fortunately, she's a friend, so she forgives a lot, and she makes it fun for him. Next year, though, my husband retires so our income will drop. I thought about clipping our boy alternating with visits to 'Auntie Anne', as he seems to grow so fast! But is the outlay going to save me money?

[@JBAMA1998]

Very helpful!!! Thank you

[@norrieb8250]

Thank you for these video’s. My Gigi went from looking gruffy to looking like an actual Schnauzer. Since Diy is my way to go!!! Money saver

[@SchnauzerMom]

Your welcome 😊👍

[@kathydaly6253]

Thank you so much for sharing how you groom your schnauzers. Your videos are the easiest I've found to follow and you did an excellent job of explaining things that I found very helpful. Your dogs are beautiful and I love the way you groom them..I think you did a beautiful job on them. I want to groom my two schnauzers. One is 5 years old and has been groomed professionally every 4 weeks since I got him as a puppy but I recently got a puppy who is now 5 months old. I would like to groom them every 3 weeks vs. 4 weeks. Anyway...I subscribed to your channel and I thank you so much for making these videos. They were so helpful to me.

[@donnahale5134]

YOu do an amazing job!! thank you for sharing.

[@loveofallmusic235]

We just watched all your videos on grooming. We just got a new schnauzer puppy, absolutely love him. We tried to give him his first cut and boy what a handful. We are really impressed how still your boys stand for you. Thank you for the Videos! Dave and Becky

[@SchnauzerMom]

Your very welcome. They stay pretty still for me most of the time. They will be getting groomed next week. They are pretty shaggy right now lol. I am planning on doing a couple more videos. I hope you've subscribed if so thanks :)

[@joebirle8251]

es time but it works.

[@joebirle8251]

Just be patient, watch the videos. They are good. It takes time, but it works.

[@valeriemeadows7831]

Your video’s are so awesome! Thank you for your info.

[@lidip8700]

I LOVE your videos! I took my white Miniature Schnauzer to get groomed, and admittedly her facial hair had grown out quite a bit, but I told them what breed her papers said she was. When I picked her up, I now had a West Highland Terrier face looking up at me!! LOL!!! I was like, huh??!! I do want to Thank-you for explain everything so well in your videos! Your dogs are all so adorable too!!

[@SchnauzerMom]

+Lisa Peterson oh no lol! I'm glad you like the videos 😊

[@rrjohn5]

I'm finally getting around to watching this series...I think I can do this. Thank you for inspiring me!

[@donnac8104]

Thank you, about to clip one of my Schnauzers I feel a little more confident after watching your excellent tutorial.

[@SchnauzerMom]

Thanks so much 😊

[@wendy8184]

Wahoo! Thank you! I've been grooming my girl for a few years and could never get those eyebrows right, or the hair around the eyes...but I followed your video today and wow! It turned out great! I'm wrapt...thank you so much for your informative video!! Cute schnauzer by the way!

[@SchnauzerMom]

+wendy Scarrott so happy to hear the video helped 😊

[@mike97431]

Thank You for the timely reply ... i do appreciate your videos !!!!

[@judyc4813]

Thanks for posting these videos - really helps!

[@SchnauzerMom]

Your very welcome 😊

[@BrandeArno]

I had to start grooming my Mini-Schnauzer after he got Mites at the groomer. A big 500 dollar vet bill to clear that up, Your video has helped me more than any other I've watched. Thank you and your "boys" are so cute.

[@SchnauzerMom]

I'm so happy they have helped you. Sorry I haven't videoed the rest of my series yet. It will be coming soon :)

[@firstpicturelady]

Great job! I do my Schnauzers pretty much the way you do. This last time I actually cut off all the hair on their legs. I’m in Pflugerville TX and we get really hot here. We are up in the 80’s already. I really wanted to see how you do the beard. I always mess mine up. What I found that works great for the eats and around the leather is a mans beard and mustache trimmer. It’s not an aggressive shaver and it’s tiny. My dogs don’t mind it at all. I have purchased what I thought were great thinning shears, and got duds. What shears and thinning shears do you use?

[@rsoubiea]

he's such a good baby 💕💕

[@CaptSteveVideo]

Thanks for the video. We now live on a boat and i'm doing the grooming. Jazzy could be a brother to yours. Same color, maybe a little more brown, same mannerisms and attitude. These videos are perfect!!!!!! Great Job!

[@SchnauzerMom]

+CaptSteveVideo thanks I am glad they help 😊

[@DavyDavy84]

Gentle & sweet dogs...!

[@smfcls4]

thank you so much this helps me I'm just stating out on grooming and fixed to do my first Schnauzer

[@barbarasollberger9260]

You’re VERY GOOD

[@nikkiflowers4241]

thank you ~ this has really helped me ~ I havent done any grooming yet but feel alittle more confident.....at least till I get the clippers in my hand.... :)

[@SchnauzerMom]

+nikki flowers your welcome 😊👍

[@paskito]

Thank you so much for your detailed videos! Your babies are so beautiful and so well behaved! I have a 2 year old schnauzer and I'm trying to learn how to groom him at home myself because he hates to be groomed in pet shops, it's very stressful for him, for the groomer and for me, since I never leave his side (I'm affraid the groomer might lose their patience and hurt my dog or something). Your videos have been such a great help! I'm still worried to learn how to make things right so that I don't hurt my dog and watching your tutorials have given me more courage. Thanks a lot! (Sorry about my English.)

[@SchnauzerMom]

I'm so glad they were helpful 😊

[@thehumblenotehoroscope2751]

I my schnauzers can stay that still. Ugh. He's doing so good.

[@navywifecarrie28]

Aww looks like my Schnauzer. I need to start grooming them myself.

[@SchnauzerMom]

+Carissa A it's not as hard as you might think 😊

[@marmol31054]

I do our dog touch ups between grooming so it's not that bad between times but love the video helped out alot

[@joebirle8251]

If you get a good trimmer, Oster or Wahl (pros often use Wahl) it's easier than you think. I used to sell trimmers (the cheap kind). they don't work well. Pay the $135 for a Wahl, they work like a charm. Be kind to your Schnauzer since the noise drives them nuts. the videos show you how.

[@juanitadegennaro5822]

Just loved watching all your video's and looking forward to more to finish out the complete haircut. I have a terrier mix but looks a lot like a mini schnauzer and have looked at websites before on grooming her but didn't like the cuts but I really like the way you do the CUT!!!!!!!!

[@SchnauzerMom]

Thank you :)

[@moniquethompson-nainoa1509]

Thank You! I have been grooming my schnauzers for some time now and have always had a problem with the face area. I think this will solve my problem being that one schnauzer has thin hair and the other has more coarse hair so I have to use different blades each. But as far as the face I think this will help me to make it more even. Thank You again!!!!!

[@SchnauzerMom]

Your very welcome 😊

[@robinmartz9052]

Schnauzer Mom what a sweet dog! Aren't they just the best??!! I am curious, what and how to you feed your dog? Mine has a weight problem which is mostly because I just let them out into my huge yard, instead of going for walks but I feed him a light dog food. Your doggie is very pretty!!! I love my Schnauzer! He is the best dog I have ever had! SO sweet and SO loyal!

[@SchnauzerMom]

I feed my boys blue buffalo healthy weight. I feed them 1/3 cup 3 times a day. 8am, 2pm, & 8pm.

[@robinmartz9052]

OOOHHH!!! My vet said to give my dog 1/3rd cup A DAY! That seemed like not enough food at all! I suspect he may have a problem of some kind. I need to get him in.

[@joebirle8251]

I've owned schnauzers for 40 years. My vet says 1/3 cup 2X/day. Keeps him at 14.5 lbs. Just perfect.

[@rblightchild]

u do a great job :) thanks for sharing

[@kalitaraff6360]

Love video and your so calm this must be why your schnauzer are behaved when grooming. Your video are very clear no problem viewing. I have two schnauzers Liver and black and white, I am ordering the Andis clipper you used and I will watch more, thank you.

[@SchnauzerMom]

+Kalita Raff thank you and you will love the clippers. Good clippers make it so much easier to groom.

[@mydogsmother4]

Great video for the face!

Awww. He looks like my Bella!!!! loveaschnauzer

[@chacemarshall7668]

That's so funny! I have a schnauzer named Monty with the exact personality and looks just like yours!

[@marmol31054]

I ha e been doing the eyebrows strait across thanks for the video

[@SchnauzerMom]

+Marmol Molina your welcome

[@rmoralez82]

Now that’s a handsome fella!

[@jonbarth718]

Such a beautiful boy!

[@SchnauzerMom]

+Jon Barth thanks

[@bjsmoker]

Thank you! Enjoyed the video and wrote down the need for thinning shears. Did you do one on cleaning out the hair in their ears? Maggie’s hair grows so fast inside her ears. I’d be interested to see how you do it.

[@robertalee2]

You really do do a good job keeping up with the boys. They are well cared for and it really is time consuming. My girl doesn't mind me holding her by the beard as I am careful not to pull her hair. Also under her armpits is sensitive. They must be brushed and your dogs always look neat and tidy. Thanks for the tips. For those who don't know, going to the groomer can be expensive. Where I live it is $70.00.+. As you have demonstrated, you can do this yourself if you try. KZbin has a do it yourself video that helps.

[@letsgetoldPekepau]

Love it 👍 now it’s time to get osmo on the table and get the clippers hehe

[@kristania411]

Mazi is such a handsome pup

[@sunsetswitheli]

what a good boy

[@janeschiffler5347]

I made the mistake of letting my dogs grow a long wooly coat for the Idaho winter. I bathed them and just scissor trimmed around their paws, their eyebrows and the edges of their ears. Now I have shaggy little beasts.

[@elenaparras7036]

Your schnauzer are so cute ! They behave so much :) I like a lot they way you groom because they look so clean! But I’m a bit scared of cropping the air, many people says the fur changes and it is not so strong after using a clipper

[@janesublett5272]

Unless you do a professional stripping of the coat what you are clipping is the ends of the hard coat as well as the soft coat and it all grows out at the same time. Unless you are showing your dog I'd say it is totally not worth the hours of extra grooming and rotating areas for that hard coat. Hair is plenty "strong", don't worry, it's just not the same as a stripped hard coat.

[@wibblewobble489]

1 last question: How do you keep the boys beards out of their mouths and lips? and stop them eating them every time they open their mouth? I trim my baby's lips and along her chops on top but the beard still curls back under up into her mouth. She hates it and i dont know what else to do short of cutting it ALL off...Which i don't really wanna do lol. Does the weight of it help hold it down when they eat/yawn/talk etc?

[@susangraaff2416]

Hi I like your videos, your dogs are so good, I click on some links that you left to buy the scissors and shaver, seems to be out of stock. Can you maybe update new links where to buy them please, or your email so I can correspond with you. Thxs

[@JazzTheDogOfWar]

I will give it a try, I don't like my dog coming back home with injuries in the skin after taking him for a hair cut. good job.

[@joebirle8251]

Don't cut too close.

[@janesublett5272]

I agree about going out to groom. I groom at home and occasionally have a professional groomer "clean up" my "mess". I am getting better at it all the time and my baby has never had what is sometimes known as Schnauzer bumps. I think that is probably because my Andis clippers are only used on my dog and I keep them clean, oiled and changed often enough to be sharp.

[@jjtheperson8350]

Your schnauzer is so well behaved. I have two females that never hold still. He is very cute, great video. I used to shave the nose on top, but your way looks much better, thank you for sharing.

[@joebirle8251]

I did too. The unshaven nose is correct. I will do it next time. I just lost my little baby. It's killing me. The new boy arrives in two weeks.

[@lpodruchny]

Great job!!!! Your Mozie (sp?) looks like my Bella!!!! When we got her, there was only one guy in my town that groomed Schnauzers and he was great but only did it part time and contingent upon his work schedule. He became the mgr of the business he worked and had to give up grooming so we were out of options for grooming Bella!!! We invested in good clippers and have been grooming her for 5 years now so these grooming tutorials on KZbin have been such a blessing!!! Thank you so much for positing these!!!!

[@SchnauzerMom]

+lore ann your welcome 😊

[@traceysouth1047]

omd , I love your videos and your dogs ; probably I have now left comments on all parts. I wish I could leave my Schnoodle with the beard how you do but the Poodle part of him has left him with too much curly action in the beard. It curls up and inward , so curly cowlicks. I do wish I'd have seen the missing footage of cleaning up the face between the eyes and top of beard. my dog's fur also curls up and toward his eyes and his face is rather short ; not much room for me to get in there. Thanks for demystifying for me how to use the thinning shears. I have a pair but did not know how to use. If the last dog was the nervous one, you are blessed b/c they all seem totally calm. I want to kiss them and hug them. Adorable !

[@traceysouth1047]

( OMD = oh my Dog )

[@SchnauzerMom]

+Tracey South I plan on doing a couple more videos on grooming next time I need to groom them. I will try and get some of the face. They are all pretty good at keeping still for me. I give them s couple breaks and treats so they behave lol!

[@vivianrodriguez9340]

Hello! I have a Schnauzer and I also groom him but he refuses to let me do his ears. I’ve tried it all and he still won’t let me do them. He will not let me do his belly either. He has only been to the groomer only once after that I have been doing it. When I try to do his belly he starts barking and sometimes jumps off the table so I won’t do it. How can I cut his belly hair and ears without having to uses the scissors???

[@jesusdriven]

Make sure your blade is not getting hot because normally they do. Love the cut you give!

[@judylane7860]

What kind of shears are u using?

[@megancalder8641]

Thank you for this video. Those are the clippers I have. What shears are you using?

[@SchnauzerMom]

Not sure which ones those were. I have different ones.

[@Rose-wo8bh]

How often do you bathe them? They are so active and sweat a lot.....

[@milesnme1]

Thank you so much for this. I am looking forward to grooming my girl instead of sending her to the groomer. I have a white Miniature Schnauzer. What can I use around her muzzle to get rid or tone dow the red rustish color?

[@SchnauzerMom]

+Ann Medrano I've heard people say peroxide helps but I've never tried it. Sorry I can't be of more help.

[@milesnme1]

No worries, thank you!

[@spuentes619]

Ann Medrano yes peroxide works. but also you might want to change dog food brands. the dye in the food is what makes the beards look brownish and dirty.

[@karenchambers6639]

Do you oil your clippers?

[@janeschiffler5347]

Do you keep your dogs clipped in the winter? I just moved to Idaho and let my 2 Schnauzers hair grow out. They don't like to wear sweaters. I love your videos! You do a lovely job with your dogs. I have always groomed mine. The only thing they hate is clippers in their ears.

[@SchnauzerMom]

Yes I groom my boys in the winter too. I do not put sweaters or coats on them when they go out. If you've seen any of my videos during the winter they don't mind the snow. When thier cold they come in.

[@jeanvaughn8070]

I would love to know how you do the ears and belly area. I just started grooming my boy and your video's have help a lot. Thank you.

[@SchnauzerMom]

I am glad they are a help. I show how I do the ears in part 4 which is uploaded. You can find all the videos I have uploaded so far in my playlist called grooming your schnauzer. I definitely will be doing one on the belly area when I groom my boys again. Thanks for watching 😊

[@jocindaweinrich3074]

Schnauzer Mom another great video, thanks 🐾

[@anthonyescobedo2142]

What type of clippers are you using? I started cutting out Schnauzer's hair after watching your videos, but I want a better clipper than the ones I have now. They get the job done, but they are loud and I think it makes Ghia nervous. ;)

[@SchnauzerMom]

I use the andis ultra edge pet clippers. I bought it at petsmart but they also have them on Amazon. They are definitely worth the money.

[@anthonyescobedo2142]

Thank you!

[@SchnauzerMom]

+Anthony Escobedo your welcome

[@maureeno5305]

How do you trim their upper lip without them licking the scissors? My dog did that and I swore off doing my own grooming! I want to start again though.

[@SchnauzerMom]

+Maureen O I have never had a problem with them licking the scissors.

[@nancyfinn7689]

What about cleaning the clippers

[@jankaras8643]

I want to see a video on grooming the legs the next time. Do you use clippers or scissors on their legs.

[@SchnauzerMom]

I have used scissors and clippers on the legs. I will definitely do a video when I groom again. Thanks for watching.

[@meribeljimenezmorales1548]

💗💗💗

[@jstump1972]

Eye boogers are horrible on ours any suggestions? Hair gets hard around that area too

[@SchnauzerMom]

+jstump1972 I trim the hair around their eyes about every other week. When I clean their beards about every couple days I use a wet paper towel to clean around their eyes.

[@MamaGuymon]

Thanks for the videos! I have watched all of them. We just got a schnauzer puppy (I grew up with one and have wanted one as an adult for years) and I have to ask, what do you feed these guys? Their coats are SO SHINY and healthy looking!!

[@SchnauzerMom]

I feed them blue buffalo grain free healthy weight formula

[@orscrub3161]

How in the world do you get your lovies to sit so still???? I try so hard to comfort mine but there is no way

[@joebirle8251]

I've been doing this for decades. The noise, dryer and trimmer is the source of aggravation. Be kind it works.

[@wibblewobble489]

Is there any reason why you go against the grain of the hair on their heads? I have always just gone with the grain and i have to clip EVERYTHING on my girl cos we live in australia and she's just too wooly to have a traditional coat. I have to trim under her beard too cos she gets matts and brings home burrs and bindies and all sorts of needle like weeds when we go walking. Thanks for doing this video i'm totally going to give it all a go next time i clip her...(so, basically in a week, cos she needs clipping every 3 weeks lol)

[@bonniemechefske3838]

Wibble Wobble I was wondering that too. What # blade are you using? Maybe you said that in another video I didn't catch yet? I use a #10 on his back but I feel if I went against the grain on his head bed be bald.?

[@mike97431]

what brand of thinning shear do you use ?

[@SchnauzerMom]

+Cowboy Smiley I think in this video I was using the Martha Stewart thinning shears from petsmart. They work really good.

[@maryj.oficial3947]

entera brutaaaa

[@christinason9324]

What blad number do u use to Head?

[@SchnauzerMom]

#10

[@user-bp8so4ou7y]

Я бы оставила меньше брови, но длиннее, больше сняла середину морды. Низ бороды сделала бы по бородавке, а верхнюю челюсть чуть длиннее. Под глазами линию. А так ОКЕЙ, auch sehr gut. Danke schön. I would leave less eyebrows, but longer, more removed the middle of the muzzle. The bottom of the beard would make a wart, and the upper jaw a little longer. There is a line under the eyes. And so, okay. Thank you, it’s also very beautiful.

[@SchnauzerMom]

I'm sorry but I don't know what you comment says. Could someone translate for me.

[@josefinaruiz6903]

No se que dice xq no lo traducen

[@brad4068]

People are too lazy to cut around the beard and then there schnauzers turn out ugly. My personal presence is to have a long beard

[@debfrye5149]

I’ve watched a few of your videos, you do nice work. But you always leave out the blade size.

[@About_that_ride]

What blade number is that?

[@SchnauzerMom]

+michelletriny I believe in this video it was a #10

[@About_that_ride]

+Schnauzer Mom thank you!!
