I'm amazed you did as good as you did with him. Medicated? You're good. Standing ovation ladies

[@kalani4057]

As a groomer myself it's nice to see someone else like myself give the same dedication you gave this little one. Most groomers I know don't care but the fact you spoke to the dog and reassured him in a difficult situation is amazing :)

[@colettesutton4024]

Poor baby. You did such a great job. I bet he feels so much better. His mobility will be so much better and I bet he feels much lighter. . ❤

[@Mangovideono]

3:49 “there we go. You’re fine. I undid it.” Proceeds to put it back on 😂😂😂

[@gemmalightfoot2669]

Excellent job ladies 💖 as much as I feel sorry for him, I adore the duck muzzle 🤣💖

[@emmabear9494]

I'm sorry but the duck , I can't. I wish I had them at my job.😂

[@LizK6457]

I know this is an old video, but I have a 13-year-old Shih Tzu who has bitten every groomer we have taken her to. Thank you for this very helpful video. I have started grooming her myself. The vet prescribed meds that sedate her to the point that she is sleeping! It would be hard to get her to a groomer like this. I did a full groom yesterday for the first time I did OK on her body, but her face, not so much! I will keep watching these videos and practicing Thank you again! One more thing, I didn’t trim her nails. I was too scared!

[@anital5020]

Poor everyone. I have a schnauzer that was in a near fatal accident and he bites. I hate having to put a muzzle on him but he has hurt me pretty bad. He is getting better with grooming and healing. I love him so much. Great job with this little fella. Bless him.

[@nicholeebabyy]

these are all amazing techniques to groom an aggressive dog! Thank you for this informational video

[@stefaanwalleghem2746]

I must say, that's a really good job considering the situation. He actually might learn to like grooming (although I don't think so). Nice job, good video

[@pamric330]

watched this again. impressed, wouldn't bring him anywhere else with that job!!

[@scsb9624]

He must feel so much better! Loved the close up of the nails being trimmed!

[@jacksonelvis3691]

6:21... watch carefully...

[@ssrobi1]

absolutely great. you all did such a good job with him. I learned a few new tricks too, love the silicone muzzles going to find these!!!

[@traceybowden5549]

Well done for getting that difficult job done ✔️ 👏

[@Beamrgurl1]

I have a bishon. She is a joy. I used to get her groomed and then I bought a kit and watched how to groom and Ive been doing my dogs hair for 14 years. Hair dogs are a little bit of maintenance because of the hair rather then fur. If you dont brush them daily, they become very matted, Poor baby. You both did such a good job...

[@susanoquinn-mu3fn]

You did a fantastic job with sweet baby boy. Such love and patience ❤❤❤

[@jacksonelvis3691]

The dog was obviously in ovulation...

[@loribrinton131]

First time seeing your channel. You ladies are funny. Great job on this pup!

[@liviamariadossantos6014]

Tadinho... Parte o coração em ver que ficou nesse estado...😢 Mas que bom que encontrou pessoas dispostas a ajudá-lo. Parabéns pelo belo trabalho 🥰

[@babsobrien5930]

As a dog groomer myself you girls did amazingly well done 👍 it’s NOT an easy job and when you were clearing his ear you could see him looking at you with thankfulness bless him 😊great job and satisfying for him and you ❤X babs

[@jacksonelvis3691]

Angry Shih Tzu got trimmed to death... He wanted to kill her the whole time; most likely due to ovulation and wicked finger-game by lady on the right ( 6:21 ) NO JUSTICE, NO GROOM. (fist emoji)

[@FirefliesMulti]

Well done! with a sedated dog I generally start with the head while the medication is still strongly in effect. Never seen a "duck" muzzle before.

[@xtri0xinx]

This is the sillest thing.... but I just have to say that those are the best nail clippers ever lol. In 15 years grooming I've NEVER had nail clippers perform so well, feel so comfortable in the hand and stay sharp so dang long! No lie...I'm running on like 7 or 8 years with the same pair and they still cut awesome 😂👌🏼. I'm about to treat myself to a new set (the color you have) just for fun. It's insane that they've been so good for so long😂. Anyway, good job with that little one! I don't like working with medicated pets (sometimes they're more difficult to deal with than when they're NOT medicated haha) but some dogs definitely need it and I'm glad there's groomers like you out there. Hopefully, it was just a rough patch in the owner's life and now that you sorted him out, they'll keep up with regular grooming 🥰. I wish you were a little closer because my shop has plenty of clients like this dog that need someone like you!

[@justice2255]

Since I have had so many maltese and shih tau dogs, this dog has been mistreated or is neglected. He is very scared of being hurt. This baby is not being adored at home as his hair is so matted. Very sad. There are so many who would love this baby.

[@jennifercoleman7826]

Handsome guy!! My favorite breed. Good job, everyone!

[@tinalewis6143]

He is probably hurts from the knot's pulling his hair 😥 and so glad you was able to help him.

[@jacksonelvis3691]

NO! She did not help, he hurt from getting three-finger-soul-snatched up the spermatogenesis secretion tunnel... ( 6:21 )

[@april1too]

Excellent groom 👏👏

[@barbroberts3153]

Great kindness and professionalism!

[@jacksonelvis3691]

As a professional groomer, the caretaker fondling the dog's pubic hair at 6:21 and 1:50 was...unnerving, yet, a perfect personification of the passion exhibited by these groomers. Maybe request a consent form before carrying out this act of intimacy? Just looking out for Shih "The Pringle" Zhu (my dog by the way!). And Rest in Peace to the lovely woman on the left, groomed but not forgotten. My little Zhu was so calm after she worked with him. Thank you.

[@Kandicead1]

Great video. I am learning to groom my Maltipoo, I'm taking it slow because she bites and attacks the brushes. Trying to figure out how to calm her. I played with her before grooming to tire her out but didn't work. Hopefully it gets easier

[@redriverpotter3665]

You did a fabulous job.

[@peehandshihtzu]

I've just gotten used to getting bit by my dog. They honestly don't bite very hard compared to other breeds but ever so often she'll find a soft spot, LOL. :)

[@913155584]

I love your videos!

[@nancydegeorge1143]

That duck muzzel worked pretty good. Ive seen them for sale on the internet and thought they were just a novelty. But maybe i could use one. One of my girls nips at people. They are rescues and have some undesirable habits. I have two chihuahuas and their faces are too small for 'normal' muzzels. Ive also recently bought clippers as I want to do their sanitary areas and feet. Thank you for this video. You did a great job considering his feisty nature.

[@kittykatz3443]

What is that yellow thing called on his snout?

[@johanna1268]

.Why did you just cut off the strang of hair in the ear, instead of pulling it completly out of the ear canal?

[@GotAnUmbrella]

Have you tried using a groomers harness? Fear Free certified grioner Suzanne who is o KZbin made them. It's instead of using the loop seat belt style. They would probably be freat if you could get the dogs harnessed obviously. You could safely anchor him with minimal stress if you used one.

[@stacy18]

You did great ❤️💛💚🧡💜💙🐾✂

[@CybaGirl]

Hello do you mind if I ask what clippers did you use? Thanks.

[@LauraTucker-nv2hz]

She looked like a baby seal in the bath lol

[@valeriaalves8494]

Parabéns pelo trabalho. 👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@cmclaren7]

I think sometimes medications can make them more aggressive. They can feel out of control and become more aggressive in an effort to regain control. Also, I know that humans can experience effects that are the opposite of what the drug was supposed to do. I'm sure dogs can have the same experience. Drugs taken to calm down can make people excited. I would guess they can have the same effect on dogs. All of you did a great job with this little guy.

[@neymagarcia7425]

My dog is traumatized after I took him to the last groomers. They clipped his nails too short and made him bleed and I have no idea what else they might have done. He was shaking when I went and picked him up. 😢 He hates being groomed now.

[@amyferris288]

That's terrible...your poor pup! Sounds like they worked way too fast & weren't concerned with his comfort in the slightest. That would be so traumatic to have a stranger pulling your hair, flipping you all around & hurting you for an hour. A total torture treatment. I'm so sorry😢

[@tymz-r-achangin]

lol that duck bill is just too cool :D

[@jacksonelvis3691]

This is my dog here , same breed to , I cannot find a groomer to groom him period so I have to do it, also why does my shih tzu have red staining so bad around his eyes, mouth and feet, I heard another groomer say it’s something with the liver enzymes, don’t quote me on this though and what do you use to get rid of them, ive use distilled water as well with no luck

[@stopwars8642]

wow that was a tuff one, great job

[@RGVRescueRangers]

You may be able to get him sedated and groomed at a vets office. Our shih tzu is the same and also a rescue, we found a lady who he tolerates lol. However yes, don’t give up there is a solution to every problem!

[@abbysk9training]

Bring him to me, Mclovin pet spa we groom aggressive dogs!

[@fatbowe]

Owners let him get this way????!!!!

[@tammie7504]

My thoughts exactly! Great job ladies. I think part of the fear came from not being able to see and an adverse reaction to the medication! Not to mention the pain from all the knots pulling at his skin.. :( Hopefully the owners will keep a regular grooming schedule and NOT let him get like that again!!!

[@Paula-Jo]

I agree. 💯 Should not have been neglected like this in the first place. Not a very good responsible pet owner. Hopefully you informed the pet parent that they need to be brushed daily or at least every few days to prevent this. No matter the breed I'm not a fan of all that hair around the face. They did a good job on him though. 👏

[@broodieivie207]

it happens. I have a stubborn shi tzu that at times I loathe. He was given to me because he is an escape artist and only comes back when he is good and ready. He comes back a matted mess.

[@inescolon6320]

My shih tzu has me SO overwhelmed with the grooming process. He is non-stop aggressive. I'm going to try the long walk tip first. Pray for me. I love him but shit, he's a shih head 😢

[@clinquant]

omg, my dog is a shihtzu and pomeranian mix, and he’s kinda aggressive. not too aggressive but he growls at me whenever I try taking proper care of him. I tried just trimming his hair with scissors and he growls as soon as he sees it. I found a muzzle so I’m gonna try using that,I don’t have a razor so I’m just going to cut it with scissors and hope it works

How does someone let their dog get that band y not report them?

[@floralovespringandflowers6227]

The little one could not see proper, had infected eyes, too long nails, neglected and maybe also infected inner ears and apparently very bad teeth too. No wonder it was in pain and not happy. I don't understand owners, if it had one, who let this happen!

[@clairebooker572]

This is what my male Shih Tzu is like......he actually looks exactly the same! I have to cut his hair now and I end up making a real mess of him. He will put his teeth on me but won't actually bite me but does with everyone else. My Grandparents had the same dog , same colour too, and he was just a dream and didn't care what you did to him

[@DB-fq6tn]

Animals become aggressive because they have bad experiences with humans , speak softly , calmly , touch softer and calmer , talking too much and loudly stresses the animal , grooming the animal is torture , they have to stop breathing properly because of these devices , you have to be very calm affection with them .

[@maryfernando7545]

Fantastic job. Why do owners neglect their dog? Just surrender the dog to someone who really cares Try doing that to achild - neglect I mean and see what the authorities do about it.

[@beckydickson6633]

Do you not realize when you take the front leg up and to the side like you did is extremely uncomfortable if not painful to the dog it's like you arms being put behind your back and being forced up higher than you can tolerate. Try it!!

[@xtinefong4542]

Yes I agree. I was just watching another groomer shaving legs and paw pads and he even mentioned to never bring the legs out to the side that’s painful always pull them back.

[@emmabear9494]

[@spookshow6999]

[@jameswent48]

Thank good you’re not a groomer otherwise you’ll be arrested for animal cruelty. 😂

[@jameswent48]

Just stay in the kitchen, ok?

[@Manu-und-die-Puschel]

I don‘t like it that the groomers laugh about the dogs behaviour. The dog ist really in a poor position, he is the victim of bad maintenance by the owner and a lack of handling training from the beginning. There are reasons why the dog is aggressive. Aggression is a normal behaviour when dogs desire distance for which ever reason. A fully matted dog has probably pain. I cannot understand how people wait so long with grooming such dog. Why are you posting such videos?

[@bgregg55]

I would guess that dog is aggressive because he's been abused.

[@marshawallace3893]

Usually that is NOT the case. There are many reasons a dog can be aggressive from genetics,to poor or lack of socialization or pain or fear/ anxiety or veterinary problems. There are many protocols that veterinary behaviorists and good trainers can use to mitigate such issues.. But the longer the dog learns that his behavior keeps people at bay ,the behavior gets rewarded and it's a vicious cycle. A good experience like this help a lot also. When people assume the dog has been abused, they often will accept the behavior as " normal". They feel sorry for the dog and neglect the needed behavior modification. It is amazing how so many dogs that are abused or neglected are still loving and trustful. Certainly abuse may be the cause of some unwanted behaviors, but owners must look beyond that to problem solve

[@melaniekendall4903]

What a horrible dog! Definitely would have taken it to the vet

[@caz7363]

I think we have to stop breeding dogs that need haircuts. There are too many breeds that need it now. My apologies to the people who make a living in the grooming industry. 😊

[@nimarie2477]

So let me get this straight.. 🤔 your suggestion is to have these "real haired dogs" become an endangered species/breed since the require grooming & basic hygiene... Should we then Celebrate when these dog breeds become extinct? ... Well guess what... Even dog breeds that shed require grooming & hygiene/care 🤯 What a ridiculously stupid comment/suggestion to say the least !!! I suppose in your opinion we as humans should stop reproducing life because babies require diaper changes & 24/7 care & attention?? 👼🤺 This particular breed of dog goes back at least 1,000 years 🤓 Those blessed owners back 1,000 years ago lived through having to groom & care for these dogs with God knows what tools they had back then .... 🤯 This breed is Loyal & loving like no other especially with their owner !! My little 8 pound guy's job 365 days a year is spent protecting me & adoring me !! I'm his Queen 👑 !! And trust me the feeling is very mutual between the two of us!!! In fact I read my dog this ridiculous comment, & he's thoroughly embarrassed for you !!! 🥸 Him & I both take huge offense at the mere suggestion of possibly making this loyal & loving dog breed extinct especially at the argument of, requiring simple care & hygiene... Like damn your cut throat .... 😈 I bet your one of those people dog's growl at & give you those side eyes 👀!!! 🐶🤡 I'll speak for this breed of dogs & well all breeds and say guess what why don't you do us all a favor & never take one of us home to "have to care for us" !! In fact you should probably stay away from the ever becoming a parent of any kind if you think a form of life that offers loyalty, love, & protection to the human race, should " be made extinct"!! Hopefully it's not too late 4 you !! 🫣🤡 Not that it would mean anything to you, minutes after reading your ridiculous comment, my dog still has a look of disgust & is getting ready to protest so he'll be prepared if & when the time comes that humans look to make his breed & others extinct, simply because they require to be groomed.... It's not his fault ??? 🐶👑🤡

[@brandidick8012]
