[@BecomingBlessingBraley]

A lot of the comments say she’s going to fast and he’s scared... why would you go slow if he’s afraid of heights? (Which she is aware of). Especially if you can work as fast as she did. Get the job done and take him off of there to put him back in his comfort zone.

[@myfavoritegroomer]

Exactly! If people want a slow groomer, there are plenty. Hours and hours waiting on your pet.

[@marcalexissantos8478]

I think she knows what she's doing, and she actually did a great job :)

[@rjwashkow6082]

I groom my standard poodle myself, and when he was younger, he was scared of being up high... but he wasn't hurt, and being out of their comfort zone is good for him.

[@TBecca]

Mozelle Elzora if you do it slowly it's good for them it doesn't stress them out and they get rewards for doing so ..it's called training.

[@MS-ti8ub]

FGS - I clean my shih tzus eyes everyday and more than once a day if necessary. It s very important to keep their eyes clean!!!

[@vickiepearson5345]

I would pad the top of the dog up stand so it would be more comfortable to their underside.

[@myfavoritegroomer]

good idea, it's an option that may come later but it's not a necessity. Just like a cell phone case. You can get one but it doesn't change the product or prevent it from doing its job.

[@helmaschine1885]

Vickie Pearson Yeah, well then you would have to be able to clean it too.

[@GingersBrew]

Absolutely! The metal edges can not be comfortable.

[@Medusa5150]

Vickie Pearson I thought the same thing. Just.because he wasn't crying in.pain.doesn't mean he was comfortable. Hecks NO will I get an unpadded narrow stand to JACK up my dog. I'd like to see a way improved and updated JACK version first 😡 👐 🐾 ✂ 🎭

[@rebelwoman2]

That thing you put his stomach on to raise him up looks very uncomfortable and hard. It needs something soft or padded to lay his stomach on.

[@paulinecampbell4967]

I’m just agreeing with the lady the stand looks cruel

[@misme5086]

What a precious dog! I love him....absolutely mellow boy

[@ellendeerfoot3988]

The dog most likely isn't scared and its just un-eased because no dog really likes the fur cut time. Just like a bath dogs shake because they don't want it to happen and they do it so you'll slow down or stop. Charlie is okay, so haters just stop. She wasn't rough and she went quickly so it was done, over with and Charlie wasn't to scared of how high up he was. He looks fine! Ignore the haters. Its hard to get a dogs fur correct, also it will grow out un-even so if you're hating stop because its not like you could do any better.

[@sammyblackchow9541]

I noticed he wasn't so afraid when he was in the tub.

[@MegganAngela]

Lol when she went to go ask if the glands needed done, the dog stopped and was listening intently

[@rodneyjohnsonsr.1570]

Shih Tzu's actually originated from China. So they are Asian.

[@lschoenrank]

My Havanese used to have that tear staining problem, and her Breeder suggested Daisy's Tear Stain Away. Amazing product, and it worked. She's four years old now, and no longer seems to do that staining thing. Perhaps because we're no longer trying to maintain a Show Coat? Anyway, great product.

[@ashleymo793]

Woah! Those glands were FULL! Probably felt great after getting them drained.

[@amandalilley3780]

I used to clip horses and when you have been doing it along time you can be quick, better than faffing about...that is a nervy dog so i dont understand the hate..she is a good competent dog groomer..well done girl..

[@ingridromero1352]

OMG His face ❤️🥺 he looks so sweet

[@lettymorevi]

I love the end result thanks for the video I will try to groom my shih tzu myself 😌

[@cricketyurchick1167]

That’s hilarious you were talking to the owner about his analysis glands and his face was like WHAT!!!!! And stinks!!!!

[@staceejones2389]

I have a Pekingese and Yorkie that I started DIY at home because the grooming was getting costly. I have gotten good at cutting the body but my biggest problem is trimming the legs and paw especially between the toe nails which I didn't know you could cut until I saw you doing it. Also, I don't have guards on my clippers do I need them? And I only have a #10 blade which came with the clippers which blade do I use for the legs, paw, and head? I will be watching your videos for now on before I groom my pets....thanks again you do an awesome job

[@sabrinajimenez42]

Omg what a cutie pie God bless this little angel and the lady she is good i do my baby's hair his a shihtzu

[@barbbazzocchi8942]

Great job! My shih tzu took off the minute u fired up the clippers....lol.

[@amberjoan123]

I get that people may think the dog is shaking in fear but that is Not always the case. Dogs shake/ shiver for all different reasons and for grooming the most common reason is it is how some dogs deal with stress or anxiety. Rather than bite and become aggressive they shive/shake. It is the the equivalent of a human sigh. For this little pup it seems as tho the hight of the table makes him nervous because he was completely content in the tub. I get that pet parents might be concerned because it is their baby but unless you have been trained in grooming dogs and how dangerous it can be for both groomer and pet you really have no idea. I think she did a very good job!

[@myfavoritegroomer]

Amber, Love this comment. Thank you so much. You are absolutely right. Charlie is afraid of heights. And if others knew him like I do they would know he is getting very old and actually losing a little hearing and site. So many reasons for shivering. Mom and Charlie came out today 11/18/17 for a professional photo shoot at my salon and he was shivering like a leaf. No grooming was done, he was just nervous and heck, it was really windy and maybe a chill. But, dogs shiver for many different reasons. :) Thank you so much for your comment again and your wise mind.

[@polychronio]

Hahahaha how can dog's shivering be equivalent of a human sigh?!? Dog's shivering is the equivalent of a human's shivering...

[@jt3512]

When shaving the face is it necessary to cut off the whiskers does that negatively affect their balance? Ty for sharing

[@pinkylove1120]

I just want to say the person that's taking the video you are doing an excellent job. 💜

[@autotailsadventures4574]

I need an upstanding like yesterday, I have the laziest Shihtzu who thinks the grooming table is time to sleep, so chilled 👍good job xx

[@myfavoritegroomer]

order at www.dogupstand.com/

[@simplysassycreations1236]

What are the lightweight clippers called? I only see the green Andis 5 speed one? The one your using in blue? Different model? thanks!

[@myfavoritegroomer]

I have a blue one but I have one green left for sale here ! I would love your support! Thanks for watching! Subscribe and share share share! Be aware, I found this clipper super cheap on other sites and did investigating and the motor or weight is different. squareup.com/market/myfavoritegroomer/item/andis-excel-speed-pro-clip

[@pinkylove1120]

Charlie I know you're enjoying this. 💜💜

[@RockyMtnBaby]

Beautiful job, well done. I have a black and white Shih Tzu also. I have to be honest, though, I am mortified at the neglect of its hygiene the poor thing. I’m sure it is loved though, but I was very sad to see all of the dirt in the hair and the crud in the eyes and around.

[@raepambid9574]

My dog also shivers when on high places. He seems comfortable and great job!

[@3611136111]

Do you have any recommended shampoo for a dog with yeast infection. His skin is turning black in areas where he licks and chews and nothing we have tried seems to help much or for long.

[@Crowwolff]

What shaved do you use? It looks amazing!

[@rindesu77]

For the first time I watched your' full video! so proud to myself now. hehe

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

thanx much great job, I like you no nonsense approach. your viv gives me courage to do a groom for my shih tzu/llasa apso.

[@lynncrisel5602]

Deerheart Adornments ,I'm a groomer would never , recommend someone tried grooming their own dog that stuff you use as very sharp the Clippers are sharp they do get hot and you can cut your dog's very easily please take the professional groomer

[@marilyngandhi4213]

I have seen dogs after being groomed and they look like they know they're special and they're champs :-)

[@erickatha]

what brand of clippers do you recommend? I have a shih tzu. I saw that you used a size 10 on the body, what did you use on the legs?

[@bridgettstamps2500]

that dog is so cute.and he is so beautiful

[@crystalsabundance]

I miss these types of videos from this channel. Calm grooming. No demands for "smashing the like button."

[@madpicken]

don't forget to smash that like button if you 've enjoyed the video

[@keylimekisses]

As someone who has owned shih tzu's all of my life and self groomed them many times you might just be the best groomer i have ever seen thank you! I would trust you with any of my fur babies.

[@rainbowspirit3466]

You have the best videos on dog grooming I've ever watched!!! I love the way you explain things 🤗🤗🤗 thank you I would've missed so much on my for had I not found your channel!!!!! New sub!!!🧡💛💚💜💙

[@Marina-cq2yt]

that dog is just haaaaattiiiinnggg his life right there lol, but he'll feel so much better after :P

[@Ally-os8ro]

mu shih tzu got a full groom, can someone tell me how long does their hair takes to griw back smooth and long??

[@rayresendez6218]

Awww Zai Zai so fluffy and little before he was a trained full grown Pupper Zai Zai you still a beautiful lil guy so precious Zai Zai I love you Zai Zai your now a smart trained Lil dude that does tricks cool lil guy🌷❤️🐾🐾🐕😍💕

[@denisecordero9189]

Really good job thank you for the video only thing is I would use some type of cushion or padding for the dog stand looks really uncomfortable pushing on the stomach. And can you cut a poodle first before washing them?✌

[@maiakolbuck1610]

charlie looks so good! you did a really nice job, keep up the good work!!!!

[@itsme2365]

I would definitely need some safety glasses if it were me cutting nails!!!! But, like you said, you know what you’re doing:)

[@myfavoritegroomer]

I have those too!

[@Rin_Evans]

That’s the type of cut my grans Yorkie mix has to get as her fur grows out in a really weird way, plus it just looks way better on her

[@leyvyamador829]

I always have a hard time with my shih Tzu when we get to the legs and feet. He doesn't let me cut it. I hope we improve on it. I didn't know that I needed to pluck out the hairs from the ear. 🤤 I will clean that better in our next grooming session. Thanks for sharing your awesomeness.

[@barbaravogt2649]

Good job. You clearly care about the fur babies. I don't think mine is quite as busy during bath time.

[@neji742]

I want to learn to become a groomer and I am actually interested to find where I come purchase a whole kit/how much I'm looking at spending? I'm not going to do it with no experience, but I know I need the equipment.

[@myfavoritegroomer]

I am so glad you reached out to me. I will in fact give you my honest and real opinion. I am a supplier, but I've helped many start this road and when it comes to supplies you want what you need and what you WILL use, not a bunch of stuff they make you get that you don't even use often. How soon are you looking to buy? Do you want to go in stride or are you ready for the full kit now? I will personally build your order and give you an amount to covers the items and shipping. You can email me here for more details and so we can remain in contact as you start this new endeavor!~ This is super exciting and I'd love to see you grow. [e-mail] (if you are going to attend a school, sometimes they give you a list of tools you need to have no matter what the brand, we will beat the $$ amount). The school here in Arlington charges $1500 estimate for the kit, one I can build much lower than that for you. Just reach out to me. Chat soon, Dede.

[@myfavoritegroomer]

Here is my online store squareup.com/market/myfavoritegroomer

[@23GigglesMiss]

If you've never groomer a dog/cat.. any fur baby for that matter.. she is not being "to rough" if you don't stretch the skin you're going to get chunks/bald spots regardless if using a 7f/10 blade it's going to look like a toddler did it.

[@maiakolbuck1610]

he looked a lot happier once he was done

[@marcalexissantos8478]

OMG that's a lot of eye boogies, one of my shih tzu has that, so we have to clean her face daily, had to wash it daily so she wouldn't get infections. , nice video!

[@myfavoritegroomer]

I am glad you wash em daily. It's an absolute necessity in some situations. Good job!

[@deadracorn8552]

I wished you were in town! My shitzu pom mix loves to go the groomers.

[@so_92_]

Wow you do it so quick and perfect

[@gamerchicksrock4318]

Aww the dog was so sweet n chill looks so cute cut like that😥😥😍😍😍

[@sousacj]

You never spray a shin tzu’s face! They have short noses which makes it very hard for them to breathe. They are a brachycephalic breed which means short head. They can choke from the water entering their nose. Please be careful next time.

[@jeanachang]

Plus that spray was too strong to be hitting his eyes!

[@andreabogner5619]

You mentioned a how to video on your nail trim secrets that would be a charge to view. Where can we find that?

[@myfavoritegroomer]

I haven't had time to record it yet, but I will soon! Subscribe so you can get it as soon as it's available!

[@Jcislrd7]

They need the hair around there eyes, if not they will tear more, and it'll stain more. It's better to just rinse it or use a light wash, they also need some of the hair around their privates and belly, they can get super irritated and itchy, the hair protects them. Using scissors or a larger clip would have probably been best and just a light trim around the face and belly area. Shih tzus are high maintenance, so know what you're getting into when getting one. This is horrible, people get high maintenance dogs just to shave them down cause theyre too high maintenance 🤦‍♀️

[@catherinebryant651]

He is just so good! I would love to own, Charlie.

[@shirleyself2123]

you are the prefect grommer.Thanks Shirley

[@gingko4me1]

Needs to be careful about water up the nose..especially on dogs like Shi-Tzu, Pugs, that have "short" faces. My schnauzer came back from groomer hacking.. a few days later we made a trip to Vet and my dog had upper respiratory from water in his lungs:( from the bath at groomer.

[@marykantor4692]

His mom really needs to take better care of him! He came in looking like A stray dog!

[@crystalpistol2753]

Thanks for another long video! David is doing an awesome job! 😊 even though I am not a groomer, your videos are very therapeutic to me. Thanks for doing what you do! I need that nail trimming video though! 😂😂😂 my boys hate us when it's that time.

[@robindullea9550]

I have been looking for a new career out of corporate America. I am an older worker and I thought that dog grooming was something I would enjoy doing. I have learned much from watching your videos. The biggest thing I have learned is that to make money, you must be fast, accurate and not faint of heart. You never use a full mouth restraint on an aggressive dog which I would do if I did not know the animal. Rough only means obedience training: not torture. Keep up the good work. I admire and respect your commitment to providing an invaluable service to dogs in need when their owners fail to do so. The serious matting videos are an important learning tool to pet owners and groomers alike. Merry Christmas!

[@myfavoritegroomer]

Wow! I love this comment. You are so right! So many details are not relayed through a video. But, you seem to get it! You are so right. This is tough on your body if this is something you are thinking about doing in your later years. My opinion is to call up several rescue groups in the breed you love and start giving time to helping their pets get rescued and helping the rescue group out. Get to handling the dogs and seeing if it works for your body. I have a back up plan as grooming takes such a huge toll on the body. So, I can't say if I had finished the corporate world first if I'd go into this as a groomer. I might go into it working with dogs with other less physical responsibilities, you know what I mean! :)

[@nikolastankovic7719]

Nice job. How much (W) have your machine for dog ? And wich one is model? Thank you for answer

[@christinern3648]

Charlie is so cute! I'm getting dog next week and this was in my recommendation and btw you did an awesome job

[@cherylmatthews4066]

For all the haters and wingers...are you all trained to be groomers???? No didnt think so, neither am I... These dogs are not being treated roughly at all, the dog is NOT crying or trying to bite her etc. its being bathed and groomed with tools that have SHARP tips on them, especialy getting their face, eyes, nose, mouths done so the dogs must be able to pick up on the groomers voice commands and firm handling to know that they must stop wriggling, pulling away, biting, raising themselves up etc etc, This groomer treats all her dogs with Care and Attention and most of all SAFTY and love. The quicker the dog gets bathed and dried the better for the dog. Its not a long drawn out process. Some dogs arevnew clients so will get used to this groomer on furture grooms. The dogs NEED to know what is acceptable when she have them in her care, you would be the first to kick up a fuss if your dog got nicked by trimmers or poked in the eye with any of the cutting tools!!! You should see my dog at her groomers she gets the same BUT itdont mean they handle her rough at all. I would let my dog be groomed by this person in an instant. Great Work Dede Croy Xxx. Oh! Iv had two Shih tzus and both used to shake like that,. My dog i have now does the same now.

[@tiffanykendall6098]

omgosh i have same leggings lol love it!. p.s. I think youre a wonderful groomer!

[@jennifern297]

Haha he is doing doggy yoga!

[@graciesanchez5274]

You are patient and doing a good job, those dogs are lucky to have you.🐩🐕🐶

[@LinzyBrown]

My dogs get the red around him face and his paws where he licks what’s the best solution to avoid getting the red.

[@Jere4319]

I really like how you cleaned up his face with the clipper instead of just shears. I use the clippers on my dog and find them more accurate and effective than scissors. Lovely video...great work.

[@carmenfernandez789]

You are amazing 🙏🏻❤🐶🐕

[@stephenwhitlock1203]

How much does a dog like this cost to groom? Just curious in case I try to go to school to learn this

[@kayBTR]

That’s interesting that some dogs are afraid of heights! Hey, I wonder if one side of the table were next to a wall he would feel safer, but I guess you need to move around the table. You are really fast and so nice to let him lay down as long as possible.Thanks to David for videotaping!,

[@myfavoritegroomer]

I hate one side of the table to the wall. Many places I worked did that. I can move faster when walking around a pet. I will try it for you though and see if it helps him. I don't think it will. But, you don't know until you try! :) Thanks for the comment. I'll tell David you said thanks. I thank him too. With him recording as one of his jobs, you all get closer views :) He spends hours editing too, to slim down the video so uploading takes less time. :)

[@meganshane6178]

Have you thought about getting a clipper vac . Awesome job 🐶😊

[@myfavoritegroomer]

I haven't. I hate the cord I have to deal with already it would drive me nuts I think haha.

[@ercerc8384]

Fantastic dedicated job. This dog is very well behave too.

[@babylynestabillo7937]

Your so good,question I have the same dog You have groom,she doesn’t want anybody to cut her hair. That’s why we never brought to the groomers. She bark and mean. But when it come to my family is well behave. But I wish I can bring her to professional like you. I’m impressed

[@earlinecobb1722]

You did a great Job

[@katherinejohnson7013]

After reviewing the video with Charlie several times, and many others, and reading the comments of support I believe this Groomer and others like her should get the hell out of the business. Comments such as, "don't blow an eye out", "spraying water in their eyes doesn't hurt them, I promise", and "at least he didn't scream" with zero empathy is seriously concerning. How can anyone think this is good on ANY level? Anyone who treats animals rougher than I've treated a slab of meat are abusing the animal! I wonder what you'd think if someone waterboarded you, hung you in the gut where you're feet don't touch, picked you up by the tail, and quickly impaled you in the anus with an object? No wonder dogs hate baths and groomers.

[@ivasylclopel278]

Great walk-through. I am totally new to dog grooming (just looking to do that for my own dog) and I have yet to become an amateur. Looks like that dryer needs a better coupling, so you don't have to work your wrists unscrewing, and then back in again. (also a time efficiency issue) I'm moving to my first house I ever bought, and I have lots of options there - as to how I am going to set up a personal dog grooming station. Watching this video helps me understand the facilities I will need.

[@joannethomas3159]

[@elainaleon2752]

Thank you that was very informative !

[@mompreston4]

I think you did a great Job. I do all my puppies. I have 3 Maltese, Bishon and a shitzu. I have done them for about 7 years now. I do there nails, pads hair cut. My shitzu. Does that shaking thing. But she never did it till she was older. she is almost 8. And I am noticing that it is getting more pronounced. I was curious about the clippers and the stand. I have andes ago 2 speed. there are a heavier clipper. so I was interested in the one that you are using. And what are the name of the curved scissors. Also the Stand site wouldn't come up. Maybe some direction...on this. Thanks. Again you really are a good groomer in my opinion..

I have the same type of dog a shih tzu and our groomer is the only one that will groom him because he is so aggressive. The only problem I have is that he shaves him to the skin all the way all over like there is peachfuz basically all that's left. I wish we had someone like you in kentucky

[@Lexiellove]

Your doing a great job. Wish I knew where your shop was. But at least you gave me some tips on how to do it myself. Thank you
