The birds around our house are so happy on grooming days, I see them fly of with faces full of our boys hair, they always come back for more. Even the squirrels have started stealing the hair 😂❤️

Thank you! This is very helpful

[@sheilaarp6453]

So beautiful just beautiful 😍 ❤ 💕 💖 ♥

[@GumriRN]

Appreciate the careful, slow gentle strokes. watched a couple videos & couldn't stand how much discomfort (actual peon that little bitch was in) slow & steady gets a stunning finish. Beautiful! Now to get my Aussie pup used to my grooming table! :)

put on leash then put second leash around pelvis to cue them to remain standing.

[@mstrubluawesee]

You really have to be careful putting a leash around the pelvis. Dogs have been know to jump and the leash in that area can do internal damage. Not safe. Just sayin'

how many teet does the thinners hav?

[@flight3189]

How do u get em to stand or stay still? My 3 y/o Aussie moves around the whole time, following me as I move around him.

[@spyderbyte975]

Grooming table, you can get them pretty cheap on Amazon, a lick may may also be worth your time

I trim my Aussies tush and britches all the way down....I can not stand that man's skirt on him ! It makes for a great wiggle butt watch when walking 😂😂😂

[@Stardust414]

I understand this is a grooming video (& the groomer is doing an excellent job) but I'm wondering if the dog gets a break from standing still in that position for so long? Maybe they edited the breaks? 🤔 I know the dog wasn't "harmed" & is very loved & well cared for so I'm not being dramatic. I'm sincerely curious bc this is something I've worried about when having my dogs groomed. I've since learned to do it myself as they've gotten older so that I can break up the grooming process into less taxing segments.

Birdie Jeffers from personal experience my friends golden retriever just stands there for like 30 min and doesn’t even care so it might just be the personality

[@lindamckenzie9962]

I started grooming my Aussie because I worried that maybe the groomers aren’t so nice to her . She is really shy and trimmed and spoiled rotten 😊

[@donaldbelcher4463]

How come your dog has no tail? My Aussie's tail is bushy and about three feet long.

[@charlie4112]

Aussies are one of the few breeds that can produce both full tails and natural bobbed tails

[@charlie4112]

However if this dog was born with a full tail or one longer than a bob then it could also be docked if it's legal in the state.

[@vizziddog5904]

It’s a breed standard if she is from a show breeder it was probably docked at birth, the reason for docking aussies tails is because when they were herding cattle and sheep they’re tails would often get stepped on my cattle breaking them so they have generally very fragile tails so it’s a precaution

[@kkittycatkat1990]

I don't approve of docking any dogs tail. Its doubtful that this dog is doing any herding and should not be a show dog requirement! I hope her tail was naturally bobbed to begin with. I'm adding here that people who declaw cats are horrible human beings. You're essentially cutting their knuckles off and it is extremely painful for them, I suggest watching some videos or reading about this horrific abuse. This was a good video! I have a Border Collie Australian Shepherd Cross and he's amazing! Hates his tail touched. I rescued him around 5 years old. He was abused and I couldn't touch him from the head down. Now, he's a whole different doggy. 💛 Be kind to animals. They are gifts from God.

[@shellmora]

Why do some of them have tails some don't?

[@dakotasnider2468]

Most breeders dock them, the main reason was because their tail would get damaged when herding livestock. But now it’s kind of a standard for working or not

[@shellmora]

@@dakotasnider2468 Their tails are so beautiful and fluffy. It's such a shame that it's standard. Poor babies.

[@cashewbutter943]

Some are also born with bobtails. The docking is done at birth and it doesn’t hurt them when done properly

[@shellmora]

@@cashewbutter943 That wasn't my point. The point is through selective breeding,short tails or "Bob tails" can be in some way natural to the dog. But deliberately cutting them off with bands for OUR PREFERENCE is where I personally draw the line.
