what state are you in?

[@dianachavez6232]

He looks so good. He’s a good boy and you are so loving and patient!

[@lfa3963]

I've recently inherited a shih tzu from a family member. I've had her on/off her whole life but never had to groom her, or understood what a groomer did to achieve her look. Thank you so much for this wonderful video! I can now picture what's being done to my girl and I feel so much more relaxed about it. I can only hope her groomer is as confident, gentle and sweet as you are. Thanks so much!

[@sherriegranger-ld1wj]

Nicely done! Simple and beautiful!

[@lauriebrady7670]

I have a Shih-Poo and a Shih Tzu, and your videos are instructive and fun to watch. Thank you for showing how grooming can be fun, gentle, and positive for dogs and humans. :)

[@soulfulspec]

You're so sweet to the dogs. I have puppy fever and just watch your videos on repeat lol

[@irenechanubc]

Thanks! This will be very useful for clipping my dog while we're stuck inside and the groomers are closed in my area.

[@beckeecarrier4616]

Such a well behaved pup. He must trust you and feel comfortable with you

[@tthoy7338]

You make it look so easy 🐾 I’d be afraid of cutting off something very important 😲

[@phyllisbubnick4622]

Thank you, this was such a great video!! It will be my go-to reference this weekend when I attempt to do a proper groom on my shih tzu cross. btw, your love of what you do and your dogs shines through :)

[@Jere4319]

Beautiful work...I know some about grooming have a one year old who I have clipped down because his hair was matting up overnight and I used a flea comb, slicker brush and another comb on him everyday and when it got to the point that he got very large mats 2 days in a row I thought it's time...so thank you for your video. Never had a shih tzu and he's really different but in a good way. hated to cut his lovely coat but it is summer, after all.

[@libertyquerol7924]

I love the way she treats the dog, I can perceive her love for dogs. Also her instructions easy to understand. Great video!!!

[@Gwendolyn_ish]

Thank you for sharing this video. My shichi is very nervous around strangers and I'm planning to clip her hair for the Summer, myself.

[@MaryBlomfield]

Such a good dog but my dog is not so good and is a bit naughty hates her front feet being touched Great video to watch ❤

[@Jade_902]

I’m happy you said “Shih-Tzu” properly 🐶 Thanks for the tips

[@sybillatietz-ot7dx]

Sehr gut gemacht Toller Friseur.Wuerde ich weiter empfehlen ❤🎉😊Hat sich auch um das Tier gekümmert,viel mit ihm erzählt.Es war auch ein lieber Kerl.Alles Liebe.Bleiben Sie gesund.❤😊

[@TamiGoldmann]

Beautiful! Such a good pupper!

[@StackeyBlue]

I didn’t ignorantly jump into shih tzu ownership. I knew grooming would be a deal. But I also knew my realistic budget. I was prepared to take on the task. I might have underestimated grooming. I grew up with big dog mixes and mutts that lived outdoors by demand and were about to shed it out. I knew it would be much larger challenge. I didn’t understand it tho lol. I ignorantly have now bought 5 sets of clippers under $50 with guides and thought for sure against grow patterns was best practice. They have all failed so hard to give an even cut. I knew it shouldn’t take a dozen passes to level the same area with itself. My dude is almost 1 year now and I finally hit a realization that this was a mildly traumatic experience for both of us each time. I even got a hanging harness for his legs because he was jerking away so bad. He stays still in the harness but I honestly think its him being frozen in terror. Turns out I knew nothing. I am not excited about using scissors because that’s probably a honed skill. And it’s more labor then I was hoping… still quicker then then my methods though. I figure if we have to do this… maybe I should put some effort into learning how to make it comfortable for us both because it’s not a good time. I guilt feed him like a pack of hotdogs each time and that’s not great. This is wildly helpful. I appreciate that your taking the time to share this even though one might think it reduces your potential clients, because I was getting there and dreading that hard. I think I will share you in the subreddit for shih tzus and try to help boost your audience some because I really do think this is valuable and there a lot of new owners there that are working through journey this too. I am gonna go check out some more of your videos and am feeling substantially more confident that my dude and I will survive better moving forward. Already ordered better quality clippers too. I was not ignorant getting this dog, I adore him so much, perfect temperament, personality and size for the companion i was seeking. I mostly nailed it. Grooming has a been a challenging endeavor but I am pretty committed doing better for him. Also thanks for the reassurance that sometimes you make them bleed. Probably the longest and most ridiculous comment ever but seriously thank you. This is a game changer. I have been browsing videos for a bit looking for clear guidance and I found it here!

[@Hard_UncleRuckus]

Dude wrote a college level essay 💀

[@carolynnmarkiewicz6015]

Great job.

[@Hub-q6r]

What setting is your clippers on?

[@HybridParentSupport]

❤how do you get them to hold still??❤

[@paulinedavis8734]

The exact spit and image of my little Shih Tzu. THIS FELLOW is an absolute SWEET HEART ❤️ so mellow & cooperative.

[@chandraprimlani8810]

What a good obedient little boy, to allow u to groom him without any problems. I have a lovable Shih Tzu as well. Boy or boy, he's nowhere like this well behaved Shih Tzu. Will not allow the groomer to do his face, eyes and nails. Good with his puppy cut. Been grooming him since he was 4 months. His first groomer managed him better but my baby constantly got an ear infection and allergies after grooming. Ear infection was due to plucking his hair from his ears. Had to stop sending him to her. Now I have a groomer coming home. She's loving and my baby loves her as well. But no way can she get anywhere close to his under eyes. I love your tutorial. Very helpful. Thank you. Have a blessed weekend. 🐶🐶🐶❤🐕🐕

[@kathysangel56]

So adorable such a easy way of clipping you have a beautiful loving nature towards these baby's,what clippers are you using I only have 4 combs

[@LoveofGrooming]

Hi, I am using these clippers amzn.to/3JiWdet they come corded as well amzn.to/3kJYaGA

[@michelleraduano4171]

Thank you!! You are so kind & very informative!!❤️❤️❤️

[@sherryduncan-lw8oe]

Your amazing groomer

[@LoveofGrooming]

Thank you so much! I appreciate the posting comment!

[@sheryleasimpson2230]

Thank you for sharing I have two shih tzus who go to the groomers I’m hoping to start my own so these videos will really help x

[@carolerichard5250]

Such a well behaved dog.🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️

[@lisacarver1128]

Why don't you pluck the ears ? The hair can cause huge problems

[@Bull1the1Great]

4F corresponds to 9mm. ?

[@Heatherchris33]

Beautiful work !

[@LoveofGrooming]

Thank you very much!

[@apomaria]

Great video, thank you!

[@pepper_renee]

Thank you for sharing. Wish you were in Katy, texas. I NEED a good groomer who cares, to groom my 3 year old shih tzu. She’s ALWAYS terrified going to the groomer.

[@rileyramsey5797]

The sharp shears near his eyes made me so nervous. My groomer uses shears with a rounded tip

[@anahitajarrah3058]

He is such a handsome good boy. 🥰

[@PrettyGoodLookin]

Hi, Are you using an attachment comb ? If so what size ?

[@LoveofGrooming]

HI, I used a 4f blade, no comb attachments. You could use a #2 comb wahl comb attachment which is a similar lenght

[@janroth6830]

Great video....thank you so much.

[@SandraCzajka-z9b]

25:17 Wonderful groomer and video! I always have difficulty because my Shi tsu is 8 months old!

[@Renvega77]

Thank you for sharing 👍👍

[@yes24__]

omg what a sweetheart!!!

[@briannacortes4015]

Great vid!!

[@yes24__]

i have a shih tzu and during this quarantine all groomers are closed. i do have clippers but only doing her face.

[@screamingeorge1]

Thank u for these videos

[@LoveofGrooming]

Your welcome, stay safe 😀

[@julieberry1683]

Could you recommend a less expensive clipper and scissors since I would only be grooming my own dog?

[@jjsadventures]

So I have an unusual question. How do you keep your blade cool so it doesn’t burn the skin since you don’t have a comb clip on it?

[@LoveofGrooming]

Hi, I use a kool lube and change the blade when hot amzn.to/3Ub95aj

[@jamiehankins1058]

i love shih tzus ive had 2 or 3 in my 29 years really thinking about another for a playmate for my standard poodle to grow up with

[@Lana_Ray_Travel]

Man my puppy would not stay still for anything

[@yonihumphrey2860]

Great work! I have a shitzu and I order clippers for home because our groomer closed. due to the pandemic. Do you happen to know what the 4F blade equivalent would be on the Wahl 5 in 1 wireless clippers?

[@beverlypearson5332]

Did you cut his eyelashes? I always ask my groomer to leave them, but once in a while, I pick him up and his gorgeous lashes are gone. 😢

[@justjackcrain]

I trim mine because when they sleep the lashes can curl into the eye and cause gunk. But it might be a dog by dog basis

[@ettenadra]

Hi! I found your channel as I was desperately looking for tips how to groom my shih tzu. She’s a mess, its been 3 months since her last haircut (we groomed a month before we were put on lockdown) and now her hair’s all over her face. Plus her nails are crazy long. Do you think I can do a good job trimming her if all I have are scissors? Or should I just wait till this is all over? Would appreciate any tips!

[@LoveofGrooming]

Hi, it will depend if you are confident or not. If you are nervous it's best to brush and comb daily. Some people only use scissors. Just be careful

[@kimm31]

What I’d give to have that kind of confidence. I know it’s just going to take time & practice but that’s why I sort of dread doing it! Nails & private areas are soooooooooooooo scary for me 🥵

[@westcoastpressure]

What kind of clippers

[@LoveofGrooming]

The links to the clippers are in my description. The cordless clippers are not available but the corded are and they are less expensive, here are the clippers amzn.to/34sgCYe

[@lucycurrant7415]

How do you get your high Tuzla to stay still? I can’t get mine to stay at peace when I’m cutting round her feet and face. Please help

[@LoveofGrooming]

This dog is well behaved because he was groomed since a puppy and groomed on a regular schedule of every six weeks. Use positive reinforcement. Brush and comb him everyday and praise when he lets you do what you need to do. Take your time and start off with 5 minute intervals and increase the times when he is letting you groom him. Bring to professional groomers by weekly or every month so he can get used to it. Put him on a steady surface at waist level. Praise and treat!

[@lucycurrant7415]

Thanks I’ll give it a go.

[@asha5105]

Hello everyone. Just wondering if anyone can share their experience with Shihtsu puppy 5 months being shaved. As I was reading they have double coat and shaving might damage the coat permanently. Does it grows back completely? If you have any thought or experience please share.

[@LoveofGrooming]

Hi, your puppies coat will grown back. The coat continuously grows. I have not seen a shih tzus puppy's coat ruined by shaving as a puppy.

[@DazTech.]

I don't get why your clippers are going through so easily mine won't touch the hair

[@tinaharvey356]

I have cute dog I don't know if she is Shiz zu or Maltese or what she has a cute curly tail. She dies not shed

[@lindafriedman4148]

Show on a full coat shih tzu please

[@LoveofGrooming]

If I ever get a client with a full coated Shih Tzu I will make a video but it is very rare to see one in my salon

[@lindafriedman4148]

I find it so weird that such a popular breed is not being groomed more in full coat. You are a groomer can you tell me how to groom back of legs and under tail. Scissor.. thinning shears.. I will buy.

[@courtneystrozier9634]

Why didn't you suggest what the owners do about his ears?

[@LoveofGrooming]

Hi, I have other videos on my channel about grooming ears.

[@merrileemose571]

Noisy clippers……😮

[@Paolocampani2015]

Questo cane almeno ci vede è un'po' più bello. Prima non ci vedeva niente.

[@Mischiou]

Great video and explanation, thanks for sharing your talent. He's such an adorable & good boy.

[@marandatennant112]

What size guard do you use on your clipper?

[@LoveofGrooming]

Hi, the sizes of guard combs that I use often is the O, 1 and the 2. Hope this helps

[@lindifuller9113]

He is such a good boy and he looks so neat and handsome.

[@cynthiaingram9949]

Thankful for your videos. Your videos are the closest and the most realistic I can get to grooming my Lhasa Apso with long hair. I have the #4f. Are you using the same blade for your finishing clip?

[@LoveofGrooming]

Hi, yes I used the same blade for finishing

[@partyfortwo]

I love that you groom and you have a flock of birds.I groom and i also own a senegal and two parrotlets.

[@BattlefrontZero]

Is it better to use clippers to cut most of the hair short and then wash/blow and then clip again?

[@LoveofGrooming]

It depends on the amount of hair and how short you want it. If the dog hasn't been groomed in over 8 weeks and the coat is very long its best to clip first. If the dog is groomed on a 4 to 6 week basis and no mats then wash first.

[@Krisp138]

Can anyone reccomend a good brand of clipper for shitzu with a thick coat ? My dogs fur is so thick it takes me hours to do it..if not days cuz I get tired of doing it, with the one i have i find it better to even use no blade but then sometimes it ends up looking ridiculous and take too much off,lol. Just tired of paying so much for haircuts. Itd be much appreciated.

[@LoveofGrooming]

These are the clippers that I have been every day for years amzn.to/3BnH1al they also come in cordless amzn.to/3xwqmAm

[@alidamorris2594]

Not you but I hate the (Noose) around the neck😞

[@LoveofGrooming]

The noose is for safety. They don't get strangled. It's the same as a leash. It's not meant to cause harm, it should be used correctly.

[@roxieolson4015]

Hi...your grooming videos are so helpful. What brand sheers do you use? I haven't found good sheers in mid-price range. Suggestions? Thank you!

[@LoveofGrooming]

I love the kenchii shears. These are nice amzn.to/3IoMeTc

[@anniecoston6309]

Very good job 👏 👍

[@LoveofGrooming]

Thank you very much
