The only way to keep your dog from matting!!

Are you CONDITIONING your dogs when you bath them? If not, you are making the biggest mistake when caring for your pet. Dog mats result from hair that needs brushed, bathed, and conditioned. Skipping the conditioning step could be the reason why your dog has matted hair. This is the biggest mistake you make when bathing your dog at home.
The only way to keep your dog from matting is to brush often, bath, and condition every 3 weeks. If you follow that formula, you will not have matted dog hair because this is the right way to bath your dog.
TIP: let the conditioner sit on the skin and coat for at least 5 minutes before rinsing.

Great video..i took on your advice regarding bathing and conditioning and it is so so worth the extra time and effort...thank you Amy...your education and help has improved my non professional grooming skills....take care my luvly. ♥️🐾🐩

[@GoGroomer]

This is wonderful to hear!!! Thank you and hugs!!!

[@ronnel3278]

I lost my Pom Yorkie and she was not that hard to maintain. But once I got a shihtzu and Maltese, holy smokes her hair is completely new territory for me. No matter how many times we brush she would just get matted. Watching this vid has helped me significantly in understanding her hair

[@GoGroomer]

[@theclosetquilterelliemiria198]

I was finally able to get these little green sticky buds out of my mini labradoodle hair with my hands by using conditioner- amazing!

[@GoGroomer]

That is awesome!

[@janamontgomery1488]

Oh Amy you are so sweet to the dogs and while teaching us. I have groomed my dogs since Covid. I continued to do so until I have had some health issues. We went to a Grommer I’ve used before and wasn’t happy with her cut. I should have know better. My poodle was done as a poodle but my shih tzu x 2 was done horribly. Their faces and feet were shaved. One has a razor burn on his face. She shaved his face. I was astounded. She cut their feet like a poodle. I may not be a good Grommer and it may take me all day to do one but never will I go back there. She should be shut down. I was so very hurt over this issue. I will figure out on my disability check had to buy products you recommend. My poor babies.

[@GoGroomer]

I so sorry my friend. That would be very disappointing 🥲

[@paigehorne9904]

Amy, I so love your generosity and teaching style. You offer so much both to those of us with dogs at home and to groomers with less experience. Best to you!

[@marciapatriceganeles-kisli4373]

Amy Leigh! Best Video EVAH!!!! Thank you so much. I learned so much. Appreciating you. Marcia & our 3 doggies🐾 ♥🐾

You are so welcome!

[@tammivandyke2889]

This is such great advice. Since conditioning my furry pups have had zero matting. Thanks so much for telling me this 🎉

[@meagan_g]

Thank you for the information! I have a professional groomer but I’m trying to learn more to help maintain in between grooms to help my pup have the best experience possible.

[@GoGroomer]

My pleasure 🙏

After watching one of your other videos, I got some tropiclean conditioner and used it for the first time on my Eskie. OMG it made a such a difference!

[@jessicacanupp1421]

I love this! 😍 thank you for sharing your knowledge! I started grooming a year ago, took my courses and got certified, but I love the fact that I can always learn something new and new ways and techniques to try! I've always conditioned because you know that what I do to my hair to make it healthy right, so same principle for the doggos! Im so glad that you did this to let people know the importance of conditioning! I respect you so much for sharing "secrets" as some would say, but just important knowledge that groomers and owners should know. I feel that is super important in client/groomer relationship, I always share my knowledge and tips and tricks with my clients to ensure that sweet pet is cared for properly. Every groomer should do so in my opinion! So thank you!❤

[@tracey278]

Big thanks from Australia ❤ very kind of you to share your knowledge 💛

[@LisaAnnNinja]

You are so appreciated! I have learned so much from you on how to best groom my boys! Thank you ❤️

Do you have a link for the best conditioner for de matting my Shih Tzu ?

[@HealHumanity1111]

Amy can you do a video on just clipper and equipment maintenance. I am a groomer and that's one thing I've never really been taught properly was equipment maintenance. Blade drives etc. If I ask around at work anytime I have a question nobody seems to know either. I am like wtf are we all just winging it?! lol Thank You for all your info and education

[@MissWookie1]

Amy could you do a cockerpoo lesson please love watching your videos, have groomed both my Cockapoos since covid and they have great coats thanks to all your help.x

I did a cockapoo video. Here ya go 😄 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJ62mp2XlrOVnqc

[@tht8916]

I noticed that some of these products are available as a shampoo/conditioner which would interest me. Is this something that would work? Or as I bathe my two dogs every two weeks, would you recommend using a separate shampoo and conditioner?

[@adefem100]

Great work there

[@heather6696]

Amy, do you have a recommendation for a fragrance free conditioner for a wavy hair labradoodle?

[@Wotsthatskip]

Always fantastic advice!

[@btbd2785]

Do have a video talking about what to look for in shamopos and conditioners. As in toxic ingrediants and why they are toxic? same goes.for conditioners. Compisition of dogs hair, tyoes and ph levels of dogs skin?

[@GoGroomer]

I have many videos on quality products.

[@jesuscruz9653]

Can you do a video for grooming a old English sheepdog please

[@GoGroomer]

I don’t have one to demo😢

[@pbg0301]

Thank you for this information.What a very well behaved dog. I have 2 Shih Tzu's one has a double coat and very rarely gets matted but my other one has one coat and gets very badly matted no matter what. I have tried conditioner but have not tried it the way you were doing it. I am in Scotland so I will look and see what brand is best here. Thanks again 💛🥰

[@virginiadunlap354]

Great Video! I love watching you! I have 3 Shetland Sheepdogs and a little Shipoo. I am always trying something different, some I like, some I don’t. I would really like to try the IV San Bernard. What would you recommend for a Shetland Sheepdog? I like their coats fluffy not flat. I am not a professional groomer but I love grooming my dogs 🥰

[@kripanandsewpersaud1677]

You mentioned a science experiment for the different conditioning products. 10:12 How much of each of the follow do you mix together? Do you foam it? PEK Conditioner mask, Cavier (Green) Conditioner, Black Passion Mask 02 Conditioner, K101 Avocado Oil

[@GoGroomer]

They are all 3 parts water to 1 part product except the K101-just a squirt of that. 😊

[@kripanandsewpersaud1677]

Thanks and keep up the videos. They are amazing!!!

@@kripanandsewpersaud1677 thank you 🙏

[@jenniferjones9434]

Thank you for sharing. I have a doodle mixed with Lab and Airedale and she seems to have different hair on her upper half vs her back and butt area. The hardest part is finding good products that are fragrance free. Do you have any recommendations?

[@debilindsey3967]

Is there a way to get the products you use in a smaller amount? I have one minute or schnauzer that shampoo would last me lifetime

[@GoGroomer]

Most all shampoo and conditioners come in 16 ounce bottles as well.

[@debilindsey3967]

Thank you small dog grooming is new to me so I’ve been powering through your videos

[@llg1]

It was hard to see the conditioner products. What Iv San Bernard products are you using. I have a golden retriever and the area that mats is the curlier hair below the ears. What conditioner do you suggest?

[@GoGroomer]

Caviar

[@amydame5819]

If you can't swing the Iv San Bernard; what conditioner do you recommend for the average dog parent?

[@GoGroomer]

Igroom charcoal conditioner

[@diddlybop]

It’s kind of the same with our human hair. It depends on hair porosity, but for hair like mine with high porosity, I need to condition my hair so it doesn’t tangle! My bf on the other hand has low porosity hair - his hair naturally seals and doesn’t easily lose or take in moisture. he doesn’t need conditioner, it makes his hair too oily, and his hair shafts are naturally sealed and silky.

[@soniamendoza7497]

Which conditioner and shampoo did you use- I was confused when I went to the site which one I should try for my malti

[@GoGroomer]

I linked all products and tools in the description of the video. You just have to click on the links.

[@barnbarn3345]

I have a Goldendoodle. Is it OK the shampoo and condition once a week?

[@derekpangburn5157]

What are some good shampoos that aren’t as expensive that you would still recommend, by the way I love your videos 😁

[@GoGroomer]

Tropiclean

[@derekpangburn5157]

Awesome that’s actually what I use now. Thank you for responding you are awesome!

[@violetmilan]

Can I put oils in my dogs hair like humans use some hair oils that hydrate and help with dryness ? I’m thinking about argon oil etc

[@pamsauce8936]

I just got a retired Bernedoodle. She had little mats everywhere!!! And some bigger flat mats that had to be cut out. I have combed her out now and once in a while I find a patch that needs more combing. Any suggestions? Do you Groom Bernedoodles?

[@GoGroomer]

yes i groom all breeds. Follow the demo and advice I shared in this demo. Very effective to keep your dog mat free.

[@claudiaabadia9300]

What’s the best conditioner for toy poodle…. My groomer cut my toy poodle way too short and I do brush regularly… I suspect they didn’t do a pre-brush and wash my dog 🐩. Her coat changed. And looks wire and dry … I decided to buy all the equipment to brush her and bathe her.

[@GoGroomer]

There are many i love Igroom charcoal? Great choice.

[@ABerta.]

That is a great info! I don’t see any link to Iv San bernard products.

[@GoGroomer]

Oh snap! I will add it when I get back to my computer. Or you can search them up online.

[@p.thompson8267]

What was the conditioner info please?

[@andreabudd7870]

What kind of brush are using in this video?

[@michellepavek-saegrov4609]

I have a shitzu bichon mix. She has bichon nose and hair texture is more bichon than shitzu. Rain causes curls and is harder to groom with a brush once she has been in the elements. What slicker brush would you recommend. She doesn't have an undercoat or very thick hair and I want to find a brush that is gentle for her pink skin yet effective for uncrimping her curls without pulling on her tender skin. Please share what you would recommend for a zuchon. Thanks.

[@GoGroomer]

I made a video all about wide clipper blades. And they are a game changer. Of course you need to use wide guard combs with them if you’re using guard combs.

[@michellepavek-saegrov4609]

Before I clip amd shape her. Your videos ahow the inportance of having her fur all combed out before a geooming. Dried and then start ciipping with a guard. So I want to find the best slicker brush to use for her hair type to eliminate dead hair and make the clipping process less stressful. What slicker brush would you recommend first and for inbetween grooming brushing maintenance? You videos are so informativ. Thank u!!.

[@pamsauce8936]

Also. What kind of table are you using in the walk in shower???

[@GoGroomer]

it is an outdoor table. DIY

[@luchia8612]

I have a full coat Lhasa. She is professional groomed every 2 weeks and I brush her everyday. I may miss a day if that. she still gets knots. Her last visit to the groomer she was very knotted and The groomer is now suggesting she goes in once a week. I purchased the sun guard conditioner you reccomend. Im thinking I will bring it to the groomer and ask her to use it. My husband said thats like bringing your own food to a restaurant 😂. Do you have any suggestions for me ? I do not want her shaved her coat is so long and beautiful! My groomer makes me feel like Im lying when I say I brush her daily ! I've been through 4 already they all seem to just want to shave and her coat isnt heavy matted at all but it does get knotted.

[@dottyk1637]

I have a full coated cotton type havanese, bathed every 2 weeks, 10 inches long hair. If I don't line brush him, from one end to the other, daily, taking at least 45minutes each time, he would be a solid pelt. I also recheck each line brushed with a comb. It is critical that you CORRECTLY brush and comb your dog out, maybe the groomer can show you how to do it, might find out where the problem lies. Check out videos of how to 'line brush', I also find that not all shampoos/conditioners are good for his coat, I've tried lots, better quality products do make a difference, you'll have to find out which ones clean and maintain hair quality. Mine has only ever been professionally groomed 1x, she is amazed at how gorgeous is his coat. Wishing you all the best.

[@GoGroomer]

If you bathe her or your groomer bathes her, be sure to always condition as well. I don’t want to hurt your feelings but you may not be brushing her properly, and that may be what your groomer is frustrated with. Go back in my videos and watch how to brush your dog. If you brush your dog but not properly it is not effective.

[@luchia8612]

My puppy goldendoodle gets himself REALLY dirty as he plays outside. I have to bath him almost every week or he stinks. How can I keep his skin safe and still keep him clean ?thru this puppy phase?

[@GoGroomer]

You must condition and brush before and after the bath.

[@Give-it-to-God]

Well as if TOMORROW'S my Long haired Shepherd will be getting conditioner!! I just had to cut some mats out from behind his ears....I hated to do that :( the rest of him is fine but his fluffy tail has 20 huge mats in it! Not sure what to do? I've watched your coconut oil videos and tried that but it didn't work. I also watched another (maybe not yours) where it says to comb salmon sideways with a slicker brush but that didn't work either. Ughh...

[@ElvieeM]

For the love of me I can't stretch my doodles bath more than every 2weeks because they are very active. But I've noticed their coats are dull looking, even after conditioning, could I be bathing too frequently? Or not using the right products?

[@GoGroomer]

Be certain to over rinse all conditioner from the coat. Could be leaving build up?

[@ElvieeM]

Thank you for your content and replies!!! Good point, I took the extra time this bath to brush thru the conditioner and sit and I see a difference, I'm also going to update my shampoo, it may be too drying cause it has dyes and perfumes. Thank you again cause of your vids I've become proficient in grooming my doodles without saving me $$$ from grooming. Plus my town there are no groomers, everyone has stopped taking clients due to pandemic pups.

what do u use for schnauzer hair to keep it white

[@GoGroomer]

The conditioner will seal the hair cuticle and block out staining and dirt. That is the key🐾

[@angelahuey228]

I love all of your videos. You are so passionate about your job and obviously love all animals! I have 2 standard size goldendoodles that I groom at home myself. Which of the conditioning products would you recommend the most if you could just use one? I am not sure I can justify buying all of those, especially not knowing how well they will work for my dogs. My female hates to be brushed and is not cooperative at all, so she will get mats that I have to work on.

Thank you so much Amy ❤ I think I’ve watched every video you’ve made, especially the Yorkie ones, more than once lol I groom my own Yorkie at home. I’m moving to the wide open spaces, outside the City! My Son and Daughter in law bought a big house last October and have ask me to live with them. They want me out of my second floor Condo! 19 Stair’s! I’m 64 and fell down them on my 60th. Birthday and my son hasn’t been the same since. My 3lbs Yorkie, Marley had her hair long for all her 3yrs 😊❤ Sadly I’ve had to change her style to a shorter style because she would pick up everything out of the grass and there is everything in the grass! I brush her every morning and evening, I bath her every two weeks! I use your no tears shampoo for her sweet face and Yes, I condition her hair! I wash her more often if needed! My Son has a rescue. An 80lb Lab Coonhound mix LOL. Marley hasn’t finished with training him completely and he loves licking her, she lets him have it if he snicks up behind her and starts licking, her lady part’s 😅 She with fix that soon, we aren’t totally moved in yet, but that’s one instance of an extra bath. I use the good products you prefer. I love your store on Amazon and have a new clipper’s in my Cart. Amy, there’s a couple of trimmer’s you recommend? Which one would you use on her. I’ve brought her hair up to her body, until Spring because we’re in Ohio 🥶! So far I’m leaning toward the Andis ProClip ACG, 2 speed with detachable blade’s. It’s Spring Green if that helps? Or which would you prefer? I’ve had two Yorkies before her, so my clippers are Old and Very Loud, she hate them! Before cutting her short, I just used thinner’s mostly, except for her ears and pads on her feet and her private parts I have small battery operated trimmer’s that are newer for those area’s, and scissors ✂️ of course, but this is a whole new ballgame! 😅 Wow, so long winded 😅 Thank you in advance, Amy 🤗❤️🥰
