I loop a soft round slip leash around my Poms' waists [rather than around their neck, to prevent trachea pressure] to both hold them on the table and keep them from sitting down. Works great. I wrap it around the crossbar overhead to adjust the length to keep the height just right. It's also handy to tuck their tail inside the loop to hold it out of my way while I work on their back end. I often use a push-button, self-cleaning, ball-ended metal brush for my weekly deep brushing. Much gentler with no possibility of poking their skin. Then I can finish off using the regular slicker brush on just the hair tips to fluff it out.

[@aliciasalvato3261]

He couldn’t be any cuter, Poms are always smiling and seem to love being made over. My girl just beams with pride during and after grooming, she knows she’s all that!

[@Anthology_of_Holly]

Nice to finally see a double coated dog who is getting the proper care from his owner! Awesome job, such a lovely boy and he looked great.

[@myfavoritegroomer]

Holly James finally!! So much to brush at home though.

[@Anthology_of_Holly]

Dede Croy Yeah there is a lot of work in these breeds. I love fluffy babies but for that very reason I’m happy with my Staffys coat. I know I don’t have the time to properly care for anything else.

[@jamjam731]

I have a Maltese Pomeranian. I'm so confused at whether to get him clipped or not. Every groomer I talk to acts surprised when I ask if he has an undercoat (which I'm pretty sure he has in some places). It makes me wonder if they just want my money. He gets so hot in the summer that I trim him with scissors myself being careful not to cut too close to his undercoat.

[@teenamulder3920]

Agree ! Its rare on this channel tho

[@shannonperez3779]

Domino is by far the cutest pup I’ve ever seen. His face looks like he could be in Kiss lol!!!!

[@Dev-jq8ch]

A most beautiful color pattern, my gosh!!! I love your work De De!!!!

[@Cat-tastrophee]

I loved the "unveiling" at the end 😄

[@kevowalker5351]

Just watching u care for that Pomeranian warms my ❤. My pom passed 9.10.16. And now im ready to get another fur baby. Peace and more. Blessings

[@crystalfabulous]

Domino is absolutely beautiful and I just love that upstand

[@RoxannZeidas]

Dede and David- thank you for showing the world that aggressive, elderly and “difficult” can be worked with. We are their voice, and you are doing a darn good job of representing them! God bless and best of luck with your growing business.

[@ivonnereyes3927]

Dede!!! Thank you so much for the shout-out !!!.. I feel special now lol 😆 and how cute is domino is almost as cute is my baby boy Osito Bonito🐕

[@myfavoritegroomer]

Thank you for being one of my top shoppers. Your support means so much to me

[@marvol48]

Looking great, a lot of work. You are an excellent groomer you are quick and so experienced. This Pom is so easy to groom it looks he is enjoying the grooming. I have a Pom as big as Domino I am going to follow your video and start grooming him myself. Thank you for sharing us your technique.

[@lovelish]

omg, hes a walking poof lol 💕 too cute

[@brittanycole271]

Watching you work is so cool! I am fascinated by how fast and how efficiently your hands move

[@jennifern297]

Aaawww I was hoping you would show the brushing in bath. Also Dede thank you for sharing your knowledge. My brushing/grooming skills have really improved!! He is loving the attention .... and you holding his boy bits!hehehe

[@lorlieable]

You should use scissors instead of shaver

[@Innessa916]

I came across your videos somehow and have been watching them for a few days now. You are so informative. I have learned a lot. Keep up the good work.

[@kansashobbyseeker7272]

I can't believe how fluffy he is!!!

[@geraldinefeind9676]

My Poms hair is long and silky. Her tail hair is long and come up like a big fan!!!! I’ve only trimmed her paws, and her nails!!! This dogs hair looks frizzy, they told me never cut her hair cuz the hair grows like a Brillo pad!!!

[@kapi]

looks like david is a little camera shy lol. As much as i love shave down videos (they're my fave bc i learn a ton from them, ty for sharing your knowledge!) it is a treat to see you do maintance grooms!

[@lacocomonkey]

Amazing! Can you show us how you detangle them in the bath?

[@myfavoritegroomer]

Merci you got it

[@montymia5792]

I love it when he sits down. He sort off wiggles his bum and gets all comfy ❤️❤️😂

[@julial3758]

What a cute Pomeranian! Was probably slightly aggressive when it was scared first time it came in.. since you did so well with him all the time.. he's not scared anymore. Great JOb

[@saradauchiha7114]

Lol you're the professional, yet so many people just 'know better'. Keep up the good work! Ignore people who think they know better than you!

Domino is a good boy! Thank you so much for this video. I have 3 poms and am going to give it a shot!

[@cynthianewman3988]

Great job! I just got a Pom right after Thanksgiving. Shes so sweet and lwill be doing all her grooming. Thanks for sharing your video! You are very good at your profession!!♥️

[@marisham4667]

Pomeranians are the best❤️❤️💕🥰!

[@pamwhittemore3476]

Hi Dede, I love to watch your videos and see all the doggies. I have a suggestion about your doggie upstand. What if you put rubber on the foot spaces so their paws don't slip off so easily like Dominoes did? Just a suggestion. Such a beautiful dog! Great work! Wish i had known some of this when i had my dogs. Thank you for serving for our country! Blessings!

[@reflexology52welsh48]

I’m not a groomer, but I just love watching you! Did you invent the “dog-up stand”? Super proud of you!

[@myfavoritegroomer]

Reflexology52 Welsh I did. Along with my brother n laws help. Thank you. Hugs!

[@MacMac-sd4zl]

Make sure to Patent it if you haven't already

[@maizabekah]

Reflexology52 Welsh Our family just got a puppy Maltese he is 6 months now named snoopy and I found you here and love watching all your vídeos it teaches me so much!!!! Great job!!!!

[@karenpack6311]

You make things look so easy! Great work, I love Poms ♥️

[@honestlyna]

Kee kee. He looks like the little wolverine of Pomeranian pups! Rawr!

[@elfenscheisse]

i just died because of the cuteness.

[@simonalyneenderz3247]

Lovin' the mask and what a sweet handsome boy! After a busy and hungry day, Dede I'm sure it's nice to know to have a good groom and the dog's trust.

[@cindywillette3169]

He’s being so good

[@PrissyTomboy]

Cindy Willette Yet she’s still “annoyed” I’d never take my poms to her! wonder how she acts when the cam isn’t on.

[@MplsMaven]

@My Favorite Groomer David you do an excellent job videoing these grooming sessions. Keep up the fantabulous work! 👍🏼

[@myfavoritegroomer]

Thank you very much!

[@TheLoafAndTheOaf]

I love how in depth & detailed you are! I'm a fellow perfectionist so I really appreciate how hard you work on these lovely fur balls ^_^ I also REALLY REEAALLLY would love it if you did a Corgi grooming! I have one named Aloo (it means "potato" hehe) and I'd love some pointers on how to properly care for his coat!

[@myfavoritegroomer]

Ariba Itrat I don’t have any corgi clients. They usually don’t come in very often. Watch the husky video and treat coat exact. Let me know if you need the tools. I have a kit ready. Found in our online store on our website www.myfavoritegroomer.com

[@krissyykriis]

Hi. I,m. Anna. From. .new. york. You. Do grea t. Work.

[@pennymabley-rosenthal2026]

If my poms came from the groomers looking like this I would cry. The lines on his back are so crazy bad. This is what my pom looks like after I cut his hair myself. And are all groomers so rough?

[@brittanyr.k1731]

penny mabley I noticed that too she was yanking him around and brushing him violently. It also looks like the leash could choke him since pomeranians have sensitive tracheas.

[@Toastiel]

nope, not at all. i work as a groomer during my holidays all the time and i can gurantee u that all the groomers here doesn't brush our customer's dog so harshly... well... maybe becuz we use wire brush which can hurt the dog if brushed too harshly, the woman here used a brush with a rounded end so it should not hurt at all (even though it may look very harsh) also i was thought to brush upwards right after coming in contact with the root of the fur (w/o touching its skin) in a quick motion. So i was kinda surprised when she brushed the dog harder than what i've seen before O_o edit: wait nvm, i went to her shop and found the brush she was using to not have a rounded tip so yes, it is wire... that could've hurt... but sometimes when a dog's fur is too thick it shouldn't be able to reach its skin(?) um... i'm pretty sure she has her own ways since speed is pretty important

[@Toastiel]

@@amberjepsen7907 actually the rope thing is pretty normal in the grooming industry. I can gurantee u that the dog is not harmed in any way, its just a way for us groomers to keep the dog standing perfectly still (yes, little movements can ruin the whole round cut) If the dog is choking, it'll show signs like coughing, eyes turning red etc. But i can kinda agree that the cut she gave was a lil... Rushed?

[@Toastiel]

@@amberjepsen7907 also if a dog tries to bite during grooming, it'll most likely be returned to its owner before you start to trim its fur. This grooming process is actually kinda normal but we just hold its head and butt up high, some dogs can even sleep with the rope still on its neck😅

[@silentstellarechos]

Although the leash on the neck is considered normal for groomers, it probably shouldn’t be. For small dogs like poms and papillons the neck is so delicate and they can easily injure themselves from tugging. And other dogs have even been known to hang themselves if the groomer is not attentive.

[@zellynurse4783]

That is the cutest name for him. I love it

[@lukacosta-terapia]

Watching from Brazil. Very good job! Congratulations and success.

[@sonjar1853]

This is a living creature in need of kind words, reassurance, and some treats! The woman was moving too quickly, stated she was tired, and hungry, and all this impatience was easily conveyed to the dog. And that contraption she shoved under him was not padded. Ouch. This should be as pleasant an encounter as possible. That clearly was not the goal. The goal here was get this damn dog out as soon as possible so I can eat and put my feet up. I wouldn’t want her working on me. I see far too many of these disturbing videos. She put this video out. She has to be prepared for all and any comments.

[@cimoneharris591]

Another dog with a full coat! Awesome!

[@glorwen]

Domino is SO CUTE

[@esmeraldadominguez3883]

Aweee domino is such a good boyyyy

[@donnam7961]

THE BEST VIDEO EVER! Thanks so much! This gave me the courage to groom my five pound Pom! And she looks amazing for it. All the best.

[@veronicasalas2666]

One of my Chihuahua/ Pomeranian mix dogs looks just like him but he’s all black with the white chest. I’ll be ordering from you over the next few months. I so appreciate your videos.

[@Lisalisells]

Oh I also like the instrument you use to keep them standing and I'm looking forward to purchasing one. Thanks for the videos ... I'm like so excited because you said she lives in Dallas as well. I'm like I will drive that far as well just so you can groom my dog. Im already excited lol. I want to grow his hair long and yes I brush him everyday now because of your videos

[@DonniDeVille]

I have had 4 Poms so far one after the other, and all of them had tails that went over their backs, but Domino's tail just sort of fell flat and hung down when he was being groomed. After that the tail went up a bit when wagging, but it looked heavy.

[@robynsoyer196]

DonniDeVille maybe it's because he's nervous and covering himself. Like many dog's do, even ones who's tail is up usually!

[@derpyfox1014]

I was wondering that also

[@jonnajohnson5941]

I am his Mom, his tail was always up at home. Most Poms don’t like brushing, blow dryers or being away from their people!

[@murphyg9021]

That popping knees you’re talking about is called Luxor Patella. In my area around $1600 a knee to fix. The knee cap does in fact pop off or rather sideways. Painful, I was able to improve it and reduce the pain with Tumeric cookies. Dogs love em.

[@TeenaHawkins]

He absolutely loved every second of that 😍

[@denisewolfgram3033]

Alright! A POMERANIAN!!!! STRIKINGLY HANDSOME!!!! :) ✨✨✨✨

[@fozzy4045]

such a well behaved pup, it must be so nice to be able to groom a nice dog when you get so used to grooming troublemakers!

[@PetroicaRodinogaster264]

Beautiful dog. I love the idea of the stand. Mine wants to lay down as I don't have a way to tie her head up. Will have to think that through

[@krazyoldkatlady192]

Great video! I think the dog stand should have a softer seat though

[@jamjam731]

When I groom my own dog it reminds why I cannot be a professional dog groomer. This poor little dog would've been bald. I just keep cutting to even things up and never know when I'm finished. 😕

[@tattootiger57]

Why do people get Pomeranians if they aren’t going to brush them and care for them. Poor dog

[@auroraandrada8190]

Such a beautiful dog

[@richmcmanus2812]

We have 2 pons, I have watched some tutorials, yours is very good

[@KECarter]

What was the leave in conditioner you were referring to? My pom gets all matted. Impossible to brush him out.

[@cpbgaming7983]

I'm wondering the same! I'm having trouble finding it on the site 😐..

[@Cathie555]

Hey Dede have you ever tried the groomers helper it’s fantastic for aggressive dogs it stops them from being able to spin around and bite you and it’s also great for dogs that like to run around the table. Love your videos there awesome ☺️

[@myfavoritegroomer]

Cathie from Oz you can’t groom the body of the dog with that thing.

[@Cathie555]

Dede Croy why it only attaches to the grooming loop from the grooming arm there is nothing covering the body of the dog ☺️

[@hannahbeth6801]

Cathie from Oz in that case she would be putting it on all her animals since they are all "aggresive"

[@robertcarmody612]

Hey Dede, I had to check out what was going on once I saw the word “Pomeranian “. They are my kind of dog and this one is beautiful. I haven’t seen very many colored like this one.

[@karennuzman5891]

Ive got two poms a black and white regular size name is Stevie and an all black tea cup his name is Nicks so yep I live with Stevie Nicks

[@nancyferguson8942]

[@shelleypope-keitt6271]

How come you don’t use blending sheers on poofy dogs? Seems like you would get a smoother finish without loosing the fluffiness.

[@intetillganglig]

What a pretty dog and good job Dede. I liked that you filmed when he met his petparent afterwards.

[@sassydiva7821]

That Baby was so Good during his grooming! 😊

[@debbiegreene1664]

She must have large volume of work, she works very fast and her scissor work is very bad, dog looks choppy...

[@sparkybish]

What a majestic little dude.

[@almaa.thefatpanda41]

You make me want to quit doing surgery and become a dog groomer. Seriously. Because doggies.

[@myfavoritegroomer]

Do it! Only have you retired the first job, cause our lifetime allows for several retirements if we do it right! But, if you're not happy, do what will make you happy. Being happy leads to a longer life in my opinion.

[@kellyhealy3615]

You have left such square blunt lines at the hips

[@mitrofan2720]

Быстро не значит - хорошо.

[@Indy__isnt_it]

Where do i find a muzzle meant for this breed? This one looks very humane but serves its purpose. I have houdini who CAN slip out of a step in vest??? It's certainly on correctly and snugly, he's just too smart for his own good!

Ooooh my god! This doggy is absolutely looks like my FANTA. It's my dog's name and he died 4 years ago.

[@bernadetteoliver3142]

I love watching you. and i don't have, a 🐕 or a 🐱. Keep up the good work ms.dee dee

[@Project.516]

I have two Poms and I really wanna order the brush you are using on Domino! Can you tell me if it is the small or large brush? Im assuming small, but I know some "small" brushes can be TINY in the pet stores. haha Thank you!! PS. Domino is such a gorgeous pup and looks just like my boy Bentley who is also a Black and White Parti, and I have a female named Lexus who is blue merle colored!

[@Wikibeauty]

He did so good! 🐶

[@chasugc3740]

I think he was just on his best behavior for the camera. He was such a ham.

[@lindakruger6348]

I had a beautiful golden Pom x but with the pom coat and my groomer cut her down with cutters and it took more than 2 years for her coat to come back, it looked thin and ratty and her under coat could be seen through scatty regrowth. Yet I had gotten her done before and she looked fluffy. Someone told me it was the wrong time of year

[@bpapao]

jesus i love the face on that dog.

[@mysticgalaxy670]

I have a Pom-a-peek and I’m wondering if the way I should groom him to? Or if it would be different in any way.

[@eel_grrrl]

HE'S A HUGE CLOUD

[@OKCricuteer]

Looking for the link to the tools you are using. :) I love my Pom Poms, but I could use a good pair of shears, comb and that brush looks comfortable not odd to hold in your hand.

[@heatheredwards2982]

Why is it recommended to use a slicker on poms? It definitely doesn't get down to the base of the skin as well as a rake will.

[@TheBucketofSunshine]

That’s...you’re grooming a little cloud!!! That’s a CLOUD! A panting cloud!!!

[@angelajeck7373]

I have a mini pomeranian, he weighs 7 lbs and 8 lbs is his expected max. He will be a year in May. He doesn't mind grooming and is a service dog. What would you recommend for his grooming tools. I had a baby comb which was just right for him but does not hold up for his coat. He completed the ugly puppy faze and we are now dealing with his adult coat. His father had a coat like Domino and mother had a sleeker coat that looks like she has pin curls. He is a heavy coat but more like Dominoes coat

[@brittanyr.k1731]

She brushes so violently

[@faliciatruran729]

No,its normal brushing i see lots of videos about this and thet brush the same.

[@RM-pl5po]

No she doesn’t she does a good job. That’s how you need to brush unless you want mats

[@carolinacoreas7716]

If you've owned a long haired or constant shedding dog, you'd know that it's the best way to get under layers of fur than don't need to be there. My Pomeranian mix sheds a lot and he has fairly long hair so I have to really get under his fur near his thighs. I always end up with a pillow about as big as him of fur, but his fur definitely feels a lot better after a brushing session.

[@kathymyers7279]

It's not matted or full of knots. Plus, shes not just pulling the skin shes surface brushing when you see her being more aggressive. Its technique , that's why people pay her!

[@redneckgirl184]

I love watching your videos but when I got the notification that you had posted this one and I had to do a double take he looks just like my mom's pom even down to the spots on the back legs

[@grisellvazquez8576]

How car l order stuff from you…. Brushes, dangling spray and combs

[@Lisalisells]

Arlington that's close by where I live, Dallas. I always watch your videos. I will bring my Yorkie for ear cleaning because he has the worst anxiety with that part. I even comment you I asked why didn't you wear gloves? But I love your videos can you tell your location so I can bring my dog! Xoxo my Yorkie is aggressive towards men too but he won't bite a flea

[@deathmetaldouglas69]

Black metal Pomeranians are the best.

Do you ever thin out his coat?
