How to Groom a Rescue Dog

[@michaelhoward3048]

My wife is a retired groomer and is addicted to watching you now that she is physically incapable of doing it herself. Her last day of work she had to go to the ER to get her scissors cut off her hand. Her arthritis has just ruined her hands. She says you are one of the most talented groomers shes seen since school. Good on you, madam Croy.

[@myfavoritegroomer]

Wow, I am so so sorry to hear that. You tell her, that is why I made the www.dogupstand.com because those groomers who tell me "I don't need assistance" "I have a helper" or ones I've seen at conventions, who say, "my hand is fineeeeee".... I'm like "be honest man" it's not "FINE" we ALL know the wear and tear it takes to do this job (like a barber and barbress too) and it's a lot on us. One day, I'm not going to be able to carry on either, so my impression on the groomers, I hope, helps many. Thank you for your story and sharing the REAL! Means a lot to me!

[@Angelface11]

Have her try a low inflammation diet :)

[@PapillonOne]

Stem cells are helping with that sort of thing.... Insurance doesn't cover it yet but for $8k you might just turn her condition around and in TX its been legalized fully.

[@FREAKOUT123ism]

good job

[@justanotherperson584]

Michael Howard The best she is I’m addicted too!

[@Brynwyn123]

"She's alive and well and doesn't want to stand up" this describes me extremely well

i love how dogs r still able to trust humans after being abused and/or abandoned

[@livviolet9361]

itsjustliv a lot of them don’t after being abused

[@bluet6898]

Dogs like humans respond to love and care, they are trusting too. Which makes it sickening/horrible when humans abuse.

[@beamills9205]

i have 5 rescues...............all of them have sad stories that brought them to me.......the end story is good for all of them.....love , a safe comfortable home, cozy beds, safe fenced yard, wildly protected, well-fed, happy play time......

[@jonathanguest9939]

people should not have a dog if they abandoned them ,,

[@marionmuolo9321]

Good point. They must be born with a generous heart, a gift from God

[@isaiahtowers1865]

As a dog groomer, It’s amazing how progressively she started to calm down when she realized she wasn’t in any real danger. Your work is amazing

[@xChaelaChoasx]

I would love to see before and after pictures at the end! I feel like it would add a better conclusion to your videos.

[@marianna3253]

Michaela Kathleen That's a good idea!

I would love to see the pet parents reaction :)

I wish I could have seen or heard the parents reaction of this wonderful transformation. And what a great temperament!

She's matted, but so friendly!

[@sarahallen8739]

bruh she was working on the ear. you cant risk cutting ANYTHING near there.

[@karenbellini2240]

God bless the people who rescue dogs from shelters and the groomers who takes care of them. This is a good video. 🐶😍

[@ColtraneAndRain]

I groomed my maltese once, husband said he looked like Ben Franklin on chemo. No more DIY for me, thanks.

[@lindacarsonlawrence4982]

ColtraneAndRain I groomed my Maltese ONCE! Didn’t do that again. It’s worth the money to set an appointment with someone who knows what they are doing, I think my Maltese agreed with that decision! 🙄

[@kingaruta8712]

@@lindacarsonlawrence4982 My maltese is very sensitive with his hair. He has a trauma caused by a groomer, so my mum had to learn how to groom him. It took her a lot of tries to master how to cut and style his hair, but it is possible :)

[@nursehigginbotham]

Haha!

[@KateMcCridhe]

I have no idea about grooming, but I think that pup behaved amazingly well. Her mom & dad are so lucky to have rescued her. ❤

[@moxiedawn4370]

Wow, what a patient dog. She must surely have had decent owners at one point. Glad she has a new good family.

[@thrivingexjw2061]

I rescued a Maltese mix who had been on the streets for at least 3 years and was full of flees & ticks plus very sick! With TLC and vitamins, he’s beautiful now. He’s the most grateful, loving dog & so happy to just have a home! Please rescue these dogs!! They seem to know that you saved their lives & make great pets 🐶

[@simonalyneenderz3247]

What a transformation!! Boo was pretty patient considering her state at that moment. Well done!! I hope you do a follow up vid on her to tell us about her left front paw and settling in her forever home.

I’m in training of becoming a certified dog groomer and your videos really help me. I watch them every day. I love how good you are with them ❤️ thank you for these videos!

[@kelseykeel5678]

Dee, I’ve been watching your videos for several months now. I’m an animal care technician at a shelter in Connecticut and everything you’ve taught me has really helped me to help make my longer haired, matted, neglected dog and cat friends more comfortable and every time they leave the table, you can see how much they appreciated getting their painful mats removed and cleaned up. They look and act like new pets afterwards. Every time I have a friend on the table I think of you and you’ve helped me make more of a difference. This video really hit home for me. Thank you so much for everything. Boo looks beautiful!!! Her demeanor changed so much from beginning to end - she came in panting and stressed from her transport and became so calm towards the middle and end. I’m saving up so I can get some clippers and gear from you that are geared towards grooming and not just surgery prep shaves.

I would have snatched this dog up if I could have. I'm sure she has already got a forever home. I had a rescue dog that was so great! She lived with us for 14 years. She was 16 when she died and she was such a part of our family. Rescuing is a very worthwhile thing.

[@Mandala_of_Life]

That's a sweet dog. I'm sure she's so happy to have a new home.

For me, you know why I like your videos? The way you talk to the dogs. To you, they make you happy and it shows and we can hear it

[@irishfoxgal]

Looking forward to Boo’s next grooming visiting video, can’t wait to see what her haircut will look like. Congrats to her parents for adopting. She appears more terrier like than poodle mix.

[@DenaMarie90]

My old dog had these absolutely wonderful groomers who cried when we called and said that he passed away. They were so good with him and he even liked their dog (he was a smaller dog and got attacked by bigger dogs so he did not like dogs). Thank you so much for caring for dogs and customers this much. We go to the same groomers for my new dog. They love him as well.

[@bethanysmith694]

I wonder if something is up with that front left leg. She really doesn’t want it touched.

[@schoonslow]

I was thinking the same! Overall she is really relaxed except from the leg... Maybe a past injury that is never properly cared for?

[@Sherlynmama]

I'm not sure if it is appropriate to comment like this 😂 sorry if I say something wrong. I'm a depressed person with anxiety disorder as well. I found your videos and I know that you're a veteran and the way you care for the dogs you groom, how you work hard to get an income with something that you really passionate about without being influenced by money and fame, and his you just being yourself and your courage on telling owners that they need to brush their dog every single day different parts a day it's just really inpsiring and really help me a lot. Sorry if I'm weird :( I'm not good in communicating. But it doesn't stop me from sending you this message as I want you know you have made an impact in my life and in my healing. I'm currently on rehab at home. Unable to work nor go out. I rescued a stray pup on a road side and she is now with me for 3 weeks already and she had been me so much to cope with my depression. I wish I could save more animals and I really love your videos and it really do helpful and entertaining at the same time. Thank you Dede :)

[@myfavoritegroomer]

awww, wow! Well, do what you can on social media girl. I also watched a TED video that tells you about how video games can really help, play some games or make some games. Be strong and you are welcome to binge my channel any time you want. I do get a kick back if you watch all the ads lol, if you have the time for that, gosh, I'm so silly. hahah.

I love watching your videos. I don't do grooming but I love animals and I like to see their new looks. I grew up with 2 schnauzers and my mom learned how to do a schnauzer cut when they were young to save money. By the time I was 11 or so, she had taught me and I groomed them too. :)

[@kimberkelley4756]

LOVE!!!!! I’m in the rescue field, I knew I enjoyed you before watching this video......however, now I’m completely hooked!!!! There’s so many special things about a rescue baby, and something as simple as a haircut or even a good bath.....can change their entire demeanor. I love how gentle and diligent you are. You say, it’s not about making them pretty at this point, yet you make them look so pretty because your a perfectionist. Thank you for sharing this!!

I know you will never see this but you do amazing work! My mom had a chow chow she just left tied out all the time, wasn't allowed in the house. This was my dog from childhood and after I moved out my mom would just feed and water her. I was not allowed to take the dog because she paid for it. I would go and groom my Sweetie 6 times a year and I felt like it wasn't fair. She would get matted so bad because no one would even pet her. I hated seeing her matted and sunstained, she was an amazing dog and fully house trained. By no means am I claiming to be a groomer but I was the only person who could get that close to her.

[@myfavoritegroomer]

Of course I'll see it, might take me awhile, but I see you!

[@cherylgray5824]

Boo is so cute. I love to watch your videos, although I have no intentions of being a groomer. I lost my Bichon Frise at 13 years old March of 2018. It breaks my heart to see the condition of these dogs that haven't been taken care of. You're an angel.

I have only (so far) watched this video. Besides being interesting on how you handle the dogs, your sort of firm, matter of fact manner is comforting to me. I do not have a pet so I watch all kinds of dog and cat channels from rescue to graphic operations and the animals getting forever homes. But I have not watched the groomer vids.....like the others these really relax me from my anxiety, depression, and some agoraphobia. So when you make your vids, know that you are helping people in ways like myself in addition to instruction and sharing your pro knowledge. Thank you so much for your sharing.

[@GrannyLaLa1960]

They yelled through the door that Boo was going to the vet on Monday after they were told the dog had an ear infection. 👍👍

[@RTHfan]

We fought ear infections with my Lab, and were getting discouraged. Then our new vet took a sample and looked at it microscopically. The dog had yeast and bacterial infections, and she had him on several pills and ointments and ear wash. We followed instructions exactly, and IT WORKED. Don’t give up...see your vet, and ask for an ear exam with the microscope if he doesn’t suggest it!
