Testing Out The New Salon On The Babies ~ Grooming My Australian Cattle Dogs ~

[@noneyabiz_123]

I can really appreciate how comparatively small our play monster Gypsy looks. They're so well behaved during grooms💙💙💙

[@skyblue-lb9kr]

Sweet! what good puppies! Mama Rocks!

[@GeanieG]

And your girls are so sweet. Gypsy is always a good girl, and Clea is a little angel. They make up for the madcap soul that is Sully.

[@TheHeelerMama]

It's a good mix of crazy and calm around here lol

[@bethcunningham4346]

The crew was so good getting groomed! Skye puts up with getting a bath. He needs one soon because he’s been getting dirty playing frisbee!! After the test run with the crew your new shop is ready for business!!!❤❤❤

[@TheHeelerMama]

Had a client come in today and it was perfect! Looking forward to more pups coming in.

[@sueklein9265]

What a great groom ❤❤❤ they all look so fluffy and kissable...even the snap master. Your business looks so inviting and well put together. 💐

[@TheHeelerMama]

Thank you ❤ I feel so happy grooming in it too. I picked the right colors! lol They get so irritated with us after the groom because we are extra hugging on them cuz they really do come out feeling like silk. Especially Clea. She is so soft and poor girl hates to cuddle lol

[@MartatheJoyfulCrafter]

So well behaved! ❤❤❤

[@GeanieG]

Oh Sully, you are such a silly boy 😂Just about died laughing at his shower incursion.

[@lisasavas5805]

Star of the show...Sully baby always makes me laugh. Thank you 😆 My girl loves the water too❤

[@TheHeelerMama]

He really does know he's the rock star lol

[@Dan_Hill43]

Yeah bribery is the main love language for a Cattle Dog cookies and treats, they will do anything for them.😂

[@mistygreene6754]

Awe my boys Love ❤ love love to dry off with a towel like Sully and flop down on it grab it and roll themselves like a burrito while doing the happy grrrs

[@TheHeelerMama]

I swear I sometimes think it's a boy thing because my other boys did it as well as some I groomed. My girls will do it after the water hose but never after a bath. I love that he didn't stop doing that along with his water snaps lol.

[@jjsolly5039]

Hi Alek, oh they look so fluffy! Miss Ruthie does the same towel face-plant as Mr Sully! That dryer is So Loud! Does Sully's hood act as ear plugs as well as calming him? I wrap my cozy scarf around Ruthie's ears when music is loud but this might be better? Very interesting vid! Thank you, Alek! God's best blessings to you all, Love, hugs & puppy kisses, JJ & Miss Ruthie💕🐕‍🦺😊✝️🙏

[@TheHeelerMama]

@jjsolly5039 Yes, it can help muffle the sound for them, especially for pups who are extra sensitive. I'm not sure why he is so bothered by it since he loves his thunderstorms, lol. My girls are not super fans of the hoodie. It is tight fitting, so I think the scarf might be more comfy for the long term. There are actually more powerful and louder dryers than this one and those I need ear plugs for. You can also stuff cotton wads in their ears to help with sound or even to prevent water going in during their bath.

[@jjsolly5039]

@@TheHeelerMama good to know about the cotton! Thank you! Yes, Mr Sully loves his thunderstorms so that is interesting that thw dryer bothers him. One more question: does the dryer you have get the undercoat dry? I have to just Let Miss Ruthie's air dry. Thanks again for an informative vid!😊🐕‍🦺💕

[@TheHeelerMama]

@jjsolly5039 Yes, it drys everything. It's a force air dryer, so it blows out the water and all that dead hair in there. I use my smaller one that has a lower setting for their heads, yes even on Sully. Thankfully it was warm enough this groom, by the time I was done with their bodies their heads were dry.

[@dianemoyers4223]

Your fur baby is so good. I have an Australian Cattle Dog mix. I can't even get him into the tub. I could do it when he was a puppy, but he is too big for me to lift now. The hose outside or waterless shampoo is my only hope. Thank you for the demonstration.

[@darrinquigley6919]

Sully wants to roll around lol 😂

[@kristibbs2613]

I wish Kalina was as good at getting a bath as your crew is! Kalina loves to swim but absolutely hates getting a bath. During Summer we bath her outside with the hose and she’s okay with that.. ❤️🤣

[@TheHeelerMama]

I always find it amusing swim, creek, water hose awesome. Plain water coming out in the shower terror!! lol Wish you all were closer. I would love to give her a spa day.

[@busywithdogs]

I loved this! Your babies always make me smile. ❤

[@TheHeelerMama]

😊 thank you

[@darrinquigley6919]

Job well done ❤❤🥰🥰😎😎👍👍

[@TheHeelerMama]

Thank you.

[@yarnmotivated-joyceswensso9744]

Three fluffs to groom. You go girl. Our Cattle Dog just rolled on an overripe peach under our tree. That'll teach us to pick the fruit daily 😂😂😂. And now we bathe Mr. Blue.

[@TheHeelerMama]

Thanks lol and it was done in under 3 hours so wohoo on the equipment helping my time lol

[@kellysauerhage8898]

❤😂❤

[@michaelbrady181]

Hmmm your system works so much better than mine, I just bathe them in the tub and then get absolutely soaked trying to dry them with towels on the floor of the bathroom, I think both of mine would freak out with the dryer but maybe not.....very very cute!! The way Sully snapped at the dryer is how Ryah is with a brush, just magnified bout 10 times lol. I wanna take a video of mine doing the zoomies after a bath with that song playing in the background, " I feel good dananana, the way that I should now" lol

[@TheHeelerMama]

@michaelbrady181 Ahh I know your method well 😆 Thankfully I only get half drenched now 😆 Sounds like Ryah would be my challenge. It takes some practice on low setting with those dryers, and that is a perfect song for after bath zoomies!

[@darrinquigley6919]

Nice hat for sully 🤣🤣

[@morganhorsediaries3316]

Sully is like Pepper....just walks right into the shower! Danilyn and Ghost act like contact with water will make them melt. I think, Punkin will be like her mom. Maybe try some rubber pads under the feet of the tub?

[@TheHeelerMama]

I love how my girls curl their tails and go into panic like it's the worst thing I could do to them lol. The tub has some rubber feet but not the no skid kind so I might have to do that. Going to use a suction cup that I did last time in my upstairs tub with a grooming loop for the bigger ones. It will still save my back a ton for the little ones. My last shop I was literally on my knees bathing the dogs in the tub. Too old for that now lol

[@lynnsullivan8373]

OMG... I laughed so much at Sully! I put Annie in the shower with my husband, who sits on a bench. She doesn't like it but will go in easily. Then I have to cover the bathroom floor with towels so she can do an impression of Sully. It takes her all day to dry. I was so shocked with all the hair that came from Clea. My shedding shampoo doesn't help much either. I am always looking for a good dog shampoo if you have suggestions.

[@TheHeelerMama]

Clea is such a floofster! She makes me feel like I'm grooming a husky at times lol. The one I used on them was coat handler deshed but it didn't seem to take out any more than normal when I run my hands through it. I used it today on a pup and the conditioner seemed to work better, but when this bottle is gone I'm trying a different one. If that works I will let you know.

[@doragarcia6125]

Poor Babies!!!

[@tracybamber]

How were you able to get all of that hair out of him? Also, can you tell me which air blower you're using? It seems powerful enough to blow a lot of hair off. My heeler sheds so much, even after my husband takes her outside and brushes her for 30 minutes. Her hair is continuously floating in the air, every surface in my house is covered in her fur, even 5 minutes after I've cleaned it. Along with the fact that she flips out whenever I try to sweep, Swiffer or vacuum. I feel like I'm drowning in her hair 🥺 and it's literally affecting my mental health. If anyone has advice please feel free to share 😊 (giving her away is not an option, she's my little punkin-butt 🩷

[@TheHeelerMama]

I am using the K-9 1 dryer. They have more powerful options but my electrical can't handle those....yet. A good bath and blow out helps a lot but to be honest I still get hair floating around daily. But I have a lot of critters here. I sweep every day or every other day and dust constantly and it's still not enough at times. Weekly brushing and doing an occasional blow out is all you can do but these babies seem to shed year round. Even when you think you got it all out they magically produce more lol

[@blissfuljoy6049]

Do you have any tips on clipping nails? I might have to get a muzzle 😕. Have you tried a Dremel type nail file?

[@TheHeelerMama]

I use a Dremel all the time with mine. I always trim first and then sand with that. I have a video up with some tips for nail trims you can check out kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpS9YqiFarOke68si=Chc61jiE_ZbntVPQ But yes when all else fails, muzzle.

[@blissfuljoy6049]

@@TheHeelerMama awesome thank you!

[@cptcosmo]

How much do your ACDs shed? OMG. If I do not vacuum once every other day, I'd have shag carpet in a week, and I only have one!

[@TheHeelerMama]

A LOT!!! From Jan-Dec!! I have to sweep daily or every two days and that is with me brushing them on a regular. They all were blowing out their coats especially Clea so this time there was a bit extra lol. They might say they shed that coat twice a year but it's bs, I know they spread magical glitter all year round lol

[@robynkelly9127]

My blue healer won’t let me bathe him or even brush him , or dry him if he gets wet, when he was a puppy he let me but now , no way he will lunge at me , now he has an ear infection and I can’t even think about putting his ear drops in even with a muzzle and medication , how will I ever resolve this it’s so disturbing ❤️😞

[@darrinquigley6919]

I could see it would difficult if had to groom a large dog like a Cane Corso 😬😬

[@TheHeelerMama]

I know a Corso would fit on my table but not sure how me and one would fit in the shower lol Still working out big dogs.

[@maggiej8358]

Just watched video from 4 yrs ago re Lucan and plan to watch all yr vids. I'm looking to get a Heeler but I'm not sure wether. Male or female. You seem to have predodoately females. Is there a reason?

[@TheHeelerMama]

@maggiej8358 No reason it was just who we fell in love with when we decided to add to the family. I can say my current boy I leaned towards getting another male because I lost my two boys and missed having a boy around. I appreciate you taking the time to watch it all! Any questions don't hesitate to ask.

[@maggiej8358]

@TheHeelerMama Thank you so much. You're vids are very informative and I appreciate finding you.
