SEVERLY MATTED 10 month old DOODLE in TERRIBLE shape!!!

[@MaryObi-v5d]

What I find kinda hilarious about some of these "what you should've done" comments is that, personally, I came to this channel to *learn* and *understand* grooming better to care for my dog. I'm not here to tell a professional groomer what they should've done or tell them what a dog ON THEIR table is feeling. Another thing, Vanessa, from Girl w/the Dog channel, has been VERY CLEAR about folks trying to use her as an example to bash or criticize other groomers. She's said several times for those kinds of people to keep her name out of their mouths, period.

If you have a poodle or poodle mix you must pull the hair out of his ears .... its simple if you do it monthly ..... get the powder for ears and just pluck so your dog does not get ear infections and that means $$$ Vet bills ! The dog was really well behaved for such a bad matting . You did a great groom !

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

Yes I agree completely!!

[@JustDee7]

I loved this groom so much! I especially appreciate that you elaborate on what it’s like to be a groomer that grooms 5-7 dogs in one day. It’s a really difficult and say hard on your body/emotions type of career. But I also groom dogs and know how good it feels to help a dog and to bond with them enough that you can tell that they’re changing and getting better each groom. So props to the pet parents for trying to do better. Hopefully they learn to brush or keep their dog clipped short so that it’s happy and more sanitary. Good for their health to get groomed regularly ❤

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

Awww thank you!! Yes, you definitely understand where I’m coming from. After they picked him up we had a long talk. Hopefully it helps

[@debbieanstey5561]

Love watching you work! You are so thorough especially with how much time you take in the bath. You don’t miss an inch!

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

Thank you so much!! 🙏🏾🥰❤️

[@murphy1526]

Love the camera angle ! Also I agree with firming up a little to let them know your in charge and it’s happening no matter what fuss they make 😊, excellent groom x

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

Oh good! Thank you!! And yes, sometimes you have to use that mom voice lol

This silly dog couldn't stop jerking around! Loved the the way you managed this grooming! You're a master!👍👍👍

What a handsome boy... All ready to go to the prom and none available! What a difference to him even tho he was anxious /naughty. I hope his owners ask how to brush him through or they book him in again soon and ask if they can watch. Maybe you can point them in the right direction of a 'how to' video. His poor inner ears that must have been so uncomfortable with those big plugs of hair and momentarily sore having it removed. I love his ears after their clipping and trimming, they are so cute. Well done, keep up with these very good informative videos. Thank you foretting us see this handsome boy.

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

Thank you so much! They actually have two of these dogs. The other one was in worse shape but they got him groomed somewhere else. I had a long talk with them about proper care. I think they got overwhelmed with getting two at the same time.

[@sharonafshari4485]

Great job with this young dog! Hope the pet parents watch this video to see what they can do to make the next groom better for the dog.

[@loribrinton131]

I'm sorry to hear that you were not feeling well. I'm glad you are on the road to recovery!

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

Thank you so much 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@janee9533]

I'm surprised that the owners of the poodle mixes don't know the basic care like ears! I had a cockapoo for 15+ years and did ear cleaning weekly. Plus I would comb her and comb her eyes to get rid of the crust.

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

I wish more people were like you lol honestly

[@gretafildes8931]

Thanks for explaining about the puppy in your last vido .

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

No problem

[@tonyawilliams1406]

Unfortunately some people will always find something wrong. If the person's complaining walked in your shoes for not a day but, for an hour their comments would less negative. I'm sure you k ow what I'm saying. Continue doing what you do. Because what you do is a great job for the pets and their parents.

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

I definitely know what you’re saying. Thank you so much and you’re absolutely right! I appreciate your support 🙏🏾

[@donyarz9237]

Hi sister, great groom as always! I’m glad that you’re feeling better 👍 Btw I wanted to thank you for correcting me😊 , after all this is your channel and you don’t have to explain anything to anyone but still you did correct me and I truly appreciate it! I love your work and your channel and your personality and also i learn a lot from you too so thank you for everything! I wish you all the best ❤👏🌹

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

No problem 🙏🏾 I appreciate you all so much because without y’all I wouldn’t be growing the way that I am. So, I appreciate y’all sticking with me and your patience. ❤️

[@jeanettelong-i6j]

Thanks for another great video. Yes, it appears he has been groomed in the past, which is sad that at this young of age he has to be shaved. I am guessing pet parent(s) do no brushing, only bathing which makes for more/tighter matting...yes, the type coat he has contributes to it too. Don't think his licking you is a sign of affection---maybe because of being unsure and figuring out what his next move is going to be--like when you see a dog yawning at a time when it has nothing to do with being sleepy. He is super hyper/reactive to everything along with needing more training--again owners not doing their job. Hope they get him neutered. And yes dogs can react the way you describe after being shaved and you know as soon as you return them to a cage. Owners don't realize this and if dog is one who hides when returning home, owners are probably thinking--what did the groomer do to my dog. Agree in watching GWTD videos, shows some things only up to a certain point. You show what it is really like, good, bad and ugly. Thanks again for sharing.

[@helenandrew3806]

I'm so pleased you like grooming doodles, I do too. This pup is pretty good considering the state of his coat. Well done ❤

[@mamita1935]

U did a great job! So patient n thorough!! Detailed cut n groom! Sorry abt the ears for puppy n u 2! 🙁 Love ur puppy demeanor. Will be watching!! Thanks for ur videos!! Keep ‘em comin!! 💗🤗🐶

What cute little sheep lol. Poor guy! I'm glad your feeling better & your car problem is resolved Being so matted.... I'm sure it hurt (sanitary areal

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

Lol he is a cute little sheep. I definitely think the matting hurt coming off the sanitary. They were really tight. I’m just glad I got it off safely. I was so nervous lol. Thank you so much! I am too 🙏🏾

[@jeanamsl7150]

“Big chompers”…😂😂

[@karrieclinton7245]

Maybe the people have never been taught how to brush them properly maybe if you can show them how to brush down to the skin it would work out better

[@butterflyray1]

What happened to common sense in people? The amount of resources available to the owner online or even in pet stores/groomers there is no excuse! If you are getting a dog then a person with common sense will do their research.

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

I agree with the both of you actually

[@angiew722]

Like the camera angle! Good view!

Shout out to ya all the way from Mayfield, Kentucky!!!:). I love your videos! I personally think that if you wanted to show every bit of the groom it would be fine with me. I like the longer videos. It would be less time fixing the video to get it uploaded faster. And I also think that you should do a Day in the life of a Dog Groomer!! I really think a lot of folks would like that. 💯 :)

The whole beginning of this video I kept thinking she better win this battle of wills if she doesn’t that dog is going to turn into a nightmare to groom, personally if it was my dog knowing what a potential problem that behavior could grow into I would lay down the the law hard and quickly so the dog knows exactly what is expected of him, but you can’t do that because everyone is hyper sensitive these days

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

🤣🤣🤣 thanks! Yes, the sensitivity level that has grown these days are ridiculous. That’s why I try and tell people, they are DOGS and they don’t process things like we do. Smh they never understand

[@francaisabergeron9041]

What kind of dremel do you use?? Love your vdeos by the way!!

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

Thank you so much! Tbh, whatever works. I e gone through so many dremels. The one in this video doesn’t even work anymore and I only had it for a month. Generally the dremel brand is pretty good. This one must have been a defective one. Most groomers use one from Lowes hardware

[@adventureswithrobinc3262]

Commenting before I am finished watching. The dog reacting even when you aren't in the process of the groom, it could be that they are reacting to the new sensation of having the mats removed. I have noticed that dogs flinch when tightening the folds of skin, because the mats are being pulled from further away, or the skin is sore from the tight matting. I have also seen your confidence in handling situations that arise has greatly increased. Also, when using a dremmel that heats up quickly, don't keep in contact with the nails from more than 2 seconds because it gets so hot. Try on your own natural nails, when close to cuticles it hurts. If you notice most podiatrist use water with the dremmel so it doesn't burn. Please do not take any of this wrong, I am just commenting my observations. You may already know these things, but it may help another viewer. Here is my opinion for what it is worth, doodle breeders need to demonstrate proper grooming to new owners. If started young and with gentle corrections, grooming time is a relaxing and bonding time. TY for helping educate the owners of the pups , young and old, that you groom.

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

I definitely didn’t take any offense to what you said. I love your input. It’s respectful and honest. I love that! I tried to clip the nails close so I didn’t have to dremel that long and I try not to have it lay on the quick much because I don’t wanna make them bleed. Fun fact, that dremel actually stopped working lol. I had it for two months 🙃🤣 so I’m currently shopping for a new dremel lol. No problem! And thank you! I always enjoy reading your comments!!

[@loribrinton131]

Just asking...in some of the videos, could we hear what you are saying at the time of the groom and not the music? Some of the things you say are hysterical, but hard to hear with the music.

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

Lol I’m glad you enjoy my comedy. If I could record a day where it is just me, I would probably still have the music in but very very low so it cuts out the airy sound but not noticeable enough that it takes away from what you’re listening too
