Most gentle groomer I have ever seen. Most all of the groomers online make me cringe to watch with how rough they are!!! Funny story is that many months ago I sent your link to my brother bragging on you-and found out he already was a fan of yours.😃He said “She’s the BEST! Only one I will watch.” I totally agree!

YOUR VIDEO WAS NICE AND CLEAR IN EXPLAINING HOW TO DO THE V SHAPE! I DIDNT KNOW THAT & NOT MANY OTHER GROOMERS SAY THAT AND SHOW HOW TO CLIP NAILS CLOSE UP! SO A BIG THANKS. IVE BEEN DOING COURSE ONLINE AND HARD TO GET PRACTICE BUT I PRACTICE ON A FRIENDS DOG AND GRADUALLY BEEN BUYING EQUIPMENT LIKE THE TABLE AND LEADS. IM WANTING A CAREER CHANGE! FROM NURSING TO GROOMING LOL.....

Awesome! Thank you!

Just wanted to say I love your videos. I’ve been grooming for 25 years and was self taught aside from attending Groom Expo West seminars and gleaning from videos like yours and books. Im now apprenticing my little sister who is 14 years younger than me and I’m grateful for these type of resources! My first lesson for her was to never stop learning in this industry. Thank you for what you do.

But now do them and Shihpoo family hates them when you touch there paws or maybe they not get clip enough. But try do it more maybe it will get them too like it as well use of me doing it more often.

Can you address dogs with black nails who have not had the quick trimmed since being very young. Our mini Schnauzer has black nails and he hates having them trimmed due to a first time bad experience with a groomer as a puppy.

[@GoGroomer]

I have videos on that topic. 🙌

[@AngelusGB]

Hi love the videos! Could I ask a Q? My boy is a rescue he was very badly abused. He is absolutely terrified of his nails being trimmed. Not the fear some may have where after a little coaxing they will allow it, he is completely terrified. He won’t let strangers touch his paws or legs (so I can’t use a groomer) due to his past. I have tried several techniques including a 5 week program which led up to the actual trim. He was fine with the nail touch (last week you touch their nails with the clippers - tho you will know what I mean!) but the moment I went to perform the actual trim he lurched back & away. My vet is on essential services only and tbh I don’t want to have to go to the vet for a nail trim where he’s held down (more trauma) or worse anaesthetic. But I want his nails to be trimmed once a month (I’ve always done it once a month and filed inbetween if need be) and I would like to do this. I recently saw a lovely boisterous pitbull being put in a harness (like an upside down coat?) and hoisted up slightly as he would fight the nail cut too! My boy is an American Staffordshire Bull Terrier so not quite as big. I felt that it could be a good idea. He is perfect for baths, brushing, all other grooming etc (tho he finds paw moisturiser tiresome) he will let me clean his ears, and will put up with otidine (he’s a dirt slider!) I can even put hot spot gel on his pads (he has allergies) so he is calm (albeit grumpy to paw moisturiser) with everything else. But his nail trauma (I think they used human nail clippers as he used to be terrified of the sight of them) is too great for him to yet overcome. I really want to help him so the process becomes bearable and doesn’t involve pinning him down. As that has made it worse. And it’s awful. I am desperate as you can probably guess, you are an excellent groomer by the proof in your videos, so I felt you might have a glimmer of hope to offer. I am happy to use a harness that is suitable to help. He will jump back up with his butt on the floor (think meercat sat up) then bolt and hide under the quilt. He is also mad at me right now as I’m taking too long to ask you and he is jealous! 😂 So if you’ve made it this far (thank you) and ANY advice you can give me that will help him be able to have his nails trimmed, that won’t harm in anyway I would appreciate. Thanks so much, Angel (& Niklaus aka Niko or Noodle) 🙏🏻 🐶✌🏻

[@GoGroomer]

There are many groomers that know how to work a dog through fearful hurdles such as fear of nail trims. I have had success with multiple dogs who fear nail trims. Call the groomers in your area and tell them his story. I’m certain you will find a groomer who has the ability to help him. He will likely do better at a grooming salon than at home. I have many videos on my channel telling my secrets to nail trims. Good luck! 😊

[@anselmoantonioiiimendozasa7091]

I wish I would have had these videos two years ago! Our miniature teacup schnauzer was just like Ellie! As a first time dog owner I have been learning little by little, but wish I would have had a groomer like you. Now my baby has long nails and she is having some skin issues. Do you have any other advice? Like for hair loss around eyes and itchy skin and ears? We are from FL and live in an apartment so any tips would be great?? Especially grooming her now and getting her to have healthier skin and coat and nails?

Helllo Amy Leigh. I just watched you cut the nails…what is your opinion about cutting all the sides of the nails? I’ve seen other videos doing that. I am watching videos to get prepared for my future dog and I know it is so important to be able to cut the nails. What is also your recommendation for cutting the nails that are black (my mom was always stressed cutting our little schnauzer black nails when I was younger)….so I am concerned a little in case my future dog has many darker nails. I love your videos and inputs. Thanks Amy!

Hi Amy! I appreciate your videos, full of knowledge and tips. Thank you for making them. _____ I purchased a km10 directly from Wahl but I noticed it was send to me in a plain box, not the original packaging. I started using it to trim my doodle and the blade gets hot after couple of minutes, is this normal?…. O perhaps they send me a defective one. My dog is clean an ready and the blade is oiled. Thanks for your answer. Thanks for your answer.

[@GoGroomer]

Hi:) Wahl does not sell their products. Their products are sold through distributors so I would reach out to wherever you bought it if it was not properly packaged. All clipper blades get hot on detachable clippers because they’re powerful and the blades are metal which produces friction. That’s why they make cool care to cool the blades I talk about it a lot in my videos. Please go watch my video on clipper blades and you will learn how to care for your blades..

What tips do you have for a pup who is quite a challenge at the groomers - she is a wiggle worm and a nosey body? How can I help her to become more mannerly for the groomer when I can't get her there as frequent as every 4 wks? She just turned one year.

[@GoGroomer]

Frequent, short grooming, brushing, handling sessions in the grooming table. 2-3 times a week will do it. If you do, and you are calm confident. It will be exactly the leadership she needs. She has no idea what you want her to do, you have to teach her.

I have an 11 week old miniature schnauzer who I plan to do all the grooming on. Your videos have been so helpful as I've been learning what supplies to get and how to use them. I look forward to watching the rest of your mini schnauzer grooming & cutting series with Ellie Grace. One thing I noticed is that you took quite a bit off her nails. I've been so afraid of hitting the quick, that I took maybe a milimeter or so off my little guy's nails (his are also black--so it's harder to see the quick).....watching you take more off gives me confidence to cut a little bit more next time.

I need a recommendation on a smaller clipper for the face, maybe…? Or do you think I’ll get used to using the km10 on the face? I need better scissors, but yikes on the price for the good ones! What do you recommend for 1 shears, and 1 thinning shears for home groomer price investment for cocker spaniel? What would you say is good, better, best in the home groomer needs/price range?

I have a senior Shih Tzu , and just bought a Wahl KM10 ...it’s hefty & powerful.. He had a full pro groom 2 weeks ago, but i thought his sanitary areas were tp shaggy. I used the 10 blade on the behind with no problem. I was a little timid to do the penis private area with the 10 blade, but I did a few gentle sweeps with the clipper, LATER on in the evening I noticed a bruising red blotch ... on the penis area, I guess I was too rough, & I thought I was being gentle...I AM HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS WHETHER I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE CLIPPER... I certainly don’t want to hurt my little old fellow... 😢😢😢

[@GoGroomer]

It is not the clipper, that is caused from you applying too much pressure when clipping that area. Or you did not check to see if your blade was hot. If you are going to trim your dog, it is so important to learn proper methods. These are things professionals learn when training. My videos are designed to help you miss these pitfalls.
