They couldn't find ANYONE to groom their AGGRESSIVE Shih Tzu

What's up KZbin Fam! Welcome back to my channel and thank you for tunning in! This video I'm going to be grooming Teddy who is not so soft and gentle lol. He has been turned away by SEVERAL groomers who refused services because of his aggression!! The dad was grooming him for awhile but couldn't get certain things done to him because he would attack, so, they came to the salon for help!!

Answers to FAQ’s Anal Glads I clean the anal glands at the owners request. It is important that the dog itself express their anal glands. The anal gland is a muscle in the dog’s rectum and the more you manually do it the more you’re teaching the dog not to use it’s muscle. Honestly groomers really shouldn’t express anal glands. If the anal glands are compacted a vet should be doing it but if your dog is having issues with anal glands you should add fiber to the diet. Music Unfortunately I can’t use the complete shop noise because we play music in the background that I can get copy written for so I have to drown out that music with something or no sounds at all. If I put in background music I can leave a little shop noise in. So, I will always add music unless it is not necessary to do so. “Roughness” During the bath I speed up the time to trim the video shorter in length so, things may seem “rougher” than they actually are because what you’re watching is a bit distorted. Also, when you hear me firm with a dog it is to train them for safety reason so they do not get seriously injured now or in future grooming appointments. Scissors & Matting I didn’t use scissors because they are way more dangerous than clippers. Clippers I can pull away quickly but shears are very sharp so if the dog moves I could’ve cut him/her really bad. Groomers are actually taught never to use shears to cut out a mat because it’s so dangerous. I’ve seen so many instances where people (owners and groomers) have cut dogs bad because they were trying to cut the mat out quick and actually cut the dog. Voiceovers Voiceovers go hand in hand with the music. My viewers like to know what is going on and what tools I am using and why. We also like to discuss topics related to dogs so I will talk about that in my voiceovers. I will always do voiceovers unless it is not necessary to do so. Video Angles I switch up my angles so that the majority gets a view they like. If you’re looking for a head mounted view that is typically Wednesdays or point of view could be Mondays or Fridays. Stationary camera view is either Mondays or Fridays Coddling Dogs/Puppies I don’t coddle dogs during grooming because grooming is a serious matter dealing with sharp tools that can injure a dog greatly. If a dog or puppy is throwing a tantrum I will not stop to hold or comfort the dog because they don’t understand like we do. They consider that rewarding. So, by me “comforting” them during a tantrum or spastic moment, it is actually backfiring and training them that if they act up the groomer will stop and they will get what they want. Which is how dogs end up getting hurt during grooming and hating it. So, play time is for before or after grooming and never during. Assumptions This final one is not a question but more of an assumption some people have. Some people assume, because I didn’t put it in the video, it didn’t happen. Just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. As groomers and editors, we cut out a lot of “unnecessary” content so what you are watching is NOT actually how the day went. So, if you have a question of whether or not something happened during the process that is NOT in this pinned comment, please feel free to ASK and NOT ASSUME. Shampoo/Conditioning I do NOT use a lot of shampoo. The bottles that I use are mixing bottles and are predominantly water. I thoroughly wet the coat and scrub them really well which creates the nice lather so they are actually clean when I am finished. Ears Yes I clean and pluck ears but only when necessary. If a dog has clean ears, there is no need. If a dog has matted ears and matted hair in the ear canal, I won’t pluck the ears if I have to shave the ears down to avoid hematomas. Yes I put cotton balls in the ears for certain dogs who are prone to ear infections and I use happy hoodies for senior dogs or noise sensitive dogs. If you ask me something that is in this section, I will respond, refer to the pinned comment. Also, know I have very sarcastic humor and in general a sarcastic person (not in a bad or annoying way lol) so if you comment something sarcastic or smart mouth, I will reply with something sarcastic in return 🤣🤣 Thank you all for the constant love and support and I’ll catch you in the next video 🙏🏾❤️❤️ For The Luv Of Dogs 🐶

I think you are fabulous at what you do &!appreciate your content! 🙏🏼🫶🏼🐾 P.s. I own a Shitzu & you may want to consider letting your Puppy parents know who are having trouble w/yeast in the ears, there is a natural solution. 1tsp of organic olive oil & 1 capsule(or what’s equal to) of Organic Vitamin E. Mix together to form a solution & get a dropper & drop 7 drops in the ear for 7 days. Being sure to hold for 5 mins before allowing them to shake. Also make sure to clean the ear out 1st. I used diluted white vinegar. Doing this worked like a charm in 3 days! 🥳🙌🏼

By the end, he looked so comfortable and was enjoying the trim. Like with children, it seems the strength you show towards makes him feel secure against the possible "dangers" towards him. Not sure if that made sense but I loved watching your interaction with him. First time viewer today

Great groom he is so cute! You were showing your no nonsense Philly girl attitude! I love it!Teddy realized he can't get his way. Each time you groom him I think he will get better behaved. You set limits with him. You let him know what is expected of him. I love to watch you communicate with the dogs the body language says it all. Greetings from Bucks county Pennsylvania.😂❤

[@0707Denisem]

Initially, I’d suggest that the owner take the pup to the vet. The vet can deep clean the ears, provide antibiotics and ear drops. I have 2 standard poodles, and like the Shih Tzu they have a lot of issues with ear infections. I’ve found cleaning the ears a few times a week with ear wipes for dogs helps keep their ears clean and wards off infections. My vet explains that the hair grows down into the ear canal causing infections. She suggests regularly smoothing the ear hair away from the canal. Not pulling it out, but just encouraging the growth away from the ear canal. I love your channel and certainly appreciate your skills as a groomer and applaud your willingness to take on difficult pups. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

Thank you so much!! 🙏🏾❤️ I will recommend that to her. I know he’s been to the vet several times about his ears but I will definitely make those suggestions to her

[@darladotter3003]

My little welsh terrier had bad fluid build up in her ears always had ear infections ; I ask the vet about food allergies and he recommended lamb and rice no more ear infections!

[@robinward2190]

Your video just popped up when I went in KZbin. My search is over! I have been looking for someone that take time to show you and explain in detail how to handle a shih tzu in grooming. Thanks so much for doing this video!

I love how you treat teddy and talk to him . He looks great thanks for posting ❤

[@Deniseb22-h3i]

He is so cute!! You do an amazing job with his bath and groom!! He looks and acts exactly like my brother’s Shih Tzu color and coat. I know they got him from a breeder in NC. I can tell you after 5 years of grooming him he still has attitude about what he will tolerate. He has tried to bite me as well. I have to use a slicker brush dryer because he won’t settle down with his blow dry. He has gotten better about somethings but he is the most stubborn dog ever!! But I love him!!

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

Lol exactly how I feel about Teddy 🤣. The most stubborn dog ever but I love him 🥰. Thank you so much! We’re working together to completely understand each other.

[@tinakeely8854]

I am so happy you have the patience to groom him. He looks very nice hopefully he wasn't hurt by another groomer. Keep up the good work. God Bless you 🙏 ❤️ 🙌 ♥️

[@deerslayer9point]

I’ve never seen anyone turn the cone backwards. Such a brilliant idea! All other groomers I have watched over the years have all said they dreaded the Shitzu breed. Always difficult to groom and bad to bite. But girl, I like your style! Way to go!

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

Thank you so much! 🙏🏾🥰

[@Hunee-]

You are such a sweetheart of a groomer. The way you handled this difficult shih tzu shows just how much you care. I have a shih tzu and she hates being groomed. We go round and round. So exhausting.

[@michellebrown9090]

I had a dog with bad ear problems and the vet told me to try one part water, one part vinegar, and one part alcohol and to wipe the ears clean. I gave it a try and it did clear up the problem.

[@SusanGlasgow-o6d]

Well done! I enjoyed watching the process of grooming Teddy.

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

Thank you so much!! 🙏🏾❤️

[@susanharrington5510]

Totally agree in regards to his diet. Raw will stop yeast infections and allergies and I used Canestan (yep) for the ear infection my puppy had and she hasn’t had an ear infection since. Nice groom❤

I had a Shi Tsu who was so compliant and was very sweet during grooming.

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

Those are always so nice lol

[@jenniferhudgins2908]

Love the video and your personality. You did awesome. Teddy looks fabulous. Love your attitude.....the MAMA tone!!!!!!! I used it training my miniature dachshund when she was a puppy. I got her at 8 weeks and immediately started training her. Shes 6 years now and nothing but a cuddle bug and licker. Everyone loves her. She's scared of other dogs and children. I never have hit her with my hand or any object. At first...i used a flyswatter and would hit the table/counter to make that noise but NEVER HIT HER. The noise got her attention. Then it got to where I would show the flyswatter to her. She would immediately stop. Now, I show her nothing and seldom even use a firm tone. She's smart and extremely well behaved. Spoiled rotten and a great dog. Sweet as sugar. Im old school and pets can be like kids. They will test you. But you must stay consistent and give much praise when the wanted behavior appears. Then they forget about bad behavior because you're not feeding into it. You're feeding into the good behavior more and more trying to ignore as much bad behavior as possible. Love how you handled Teddy!!!!!!! ROCK ON!!!!!!!!

[@robinpinkham9398]

With my shihtzus the vet suggested mixing up antifungal cream , benadryl cream and hydrocortisone cream. It is good for the ears, hot spots and feet.

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

Thank you I took a screenshot of this to show the owner!

[@lizholmes2730]

Teddy..... Change his name to Mr Grumpy 😂😂😂. I have always found small dogs to be aggressive, big dogs I can ' read' better. He is so cute and yes he can look like a cute Teddy. He has so much gorgeous hair to cut through, definitely not a quick trim. I love that scrubbing to ger hair and skin clean. We do that to ourselves for 'squeaky clean' hair. Wow he does respond to an authoritarian voice, Well done - it made me laugh tho (I have a no nonsense voice when needed. (ex senior nurse, then nurse lecturer). It was most effective with stroppy people and of course my gorgeous big GSDs. We looked after a breeding police dog.... She had fantastic qualities and they wanted more like her... She had 3 litters for them. Often the K9 officers would visit just to make sure she was OK etc... One one of those days, I had 3 excitable kids in the kitchen to meet the policemen, my husband's cousin turned up to visit. I had 2 GSDs, husband and myself all in the kitchen shuffling about until I said 'sit'.. 2 dogs, 3 kids, 1 cousin 2police officers and a husband all immediately sat down and the room was quiet. Police asked if I wanted a job 😂😂😂.... Eh No thanks I could imagine every dog being groomed stopped any behaviour problems when you gave Teddy a severe talking to.... Oh he is so handsome. Wee face looks less Grumpy....You are fantastic for being sweet, kind and in charge . Keep going and sending us those fan videos.

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

Awwwww GSD’s are beautiful!! I think that is so awesome!!! Thank you so much!! 🙏🏾❤️ I think Teddy and I have a mutual understanding 🤣

[@rosaurena1061]

Wow! You are GOOD at what you do girl. 😮 I am very right now because my sweet 3 years old Shih Tzu recently started to be an aggressive dog ONLY at grooming time. I have been his groomer until now that he has become aggressive. I made an appointment with a groomer who I was referred to and she was not able to do it due to his attempts to bite her. I wish you were in Florida in the Tampa Bay, you probably could get to groom my fur baby. If you know who can help my doggy in Tampa Florida or near Tampa please let me know, I would greatly appreciate it. He desperately needs a good trimming. I loved watching Terry’s hair trimming ❤🐶

[@julietamez3276]

He reminds me of my grumpy shih tzu! 😊 She's a sweetie until nails and grooming. I'm curious about what may have ended up working for his ears. My thought was what someone else mentioned, the Monistat type medication. And then yeah diet. He's a cutie!

[@debbietaylor8010]

Yes I had a dog,constant ear problems the doctor got the infection cleared up then he taught me how to keep her ears clean 2 to 3 times a week I did this every week for about 10 years before she passed.

[@faithjackson5514]

I make my home made dog food. I put in organic refined coconut oil everyday(small amount) . Also organic pumpkin. All foods are organic. Ears clear up and skin and hair is beautiful!

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

I will definitely make that suggestion to her. I try to make homemade food suggestions to people who struggle with these issues. Some listen, some don’t

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

Thank you so much!! 🙏🏾❤️

[@jasirasadiq]

Hey for his ears I would suggest one part water to one part, apple cider vinegar to clean ear out. After that, I would just wipe it with a little bit of coconut oil. Coconut oil has antibacterial properties.

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

Hmmmm! That sounds like a great idea! I’m screenshotting this too! Thank you so much!! 🙏🏾❤️

[@katewest130]

I don’t think the owners are doing themselves any favors controlling Teddy’s aggression by keeping him intact. ALL dogs & cats should be neutered & spayed unless the owner is a bonafide breeder - no exceptions!

[@lizholmes2730]

Here in the UK a lot of males dogs were neutered for aggression. The school of thought now is different and a lot of vets are unwilling to neuter a male because of agression. They have found it doesn't change behaviour. We always had female dogs, didn't spay the a we live on a farm. In fact most of our neighbours all had female dogs except one Our last Dog was a male and we raised the subject with our vet because the dog was getting stroppy etc.... Vet said no... And we worked with him and it turned out to be the terrible twos and threes.... 4 Yr old and our male dog was so calm etc xx

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

I personally don’t agree that every dog should be spayed or neutered because it has actually been proven to cause health issues. His aggression comes from lack of socialization and lack of discipline. A lot of people get smaller dogs and feel they don’t need to be disciplined like larger dogs because they feel they are small and fragile. I’ve groomed so many dogs that were spayed and neutered and still have been severely aggressive. Tbh a lot of the sweetest dogs I e groomed have been intact because they were with owners that worked with him. A lot of vets in the US will neuter for aggression just because it’s a reason to neuter a dog. Aggression doesn’t stem from being intact. I’ve actually had a client neuter their dog because he was aggressive and it made him worse. Discipline, socialization, training and really working with the dog will actually teach them to be less aggressive

[@finnsfrolic4328]

I am glad to see you telling him what is acceptable. I just watched another video(I know everyone is different) but that groomer really needed to be stern with the dog.

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

@@finnsfrolic4328 tbh, a lot of groomers are as assertive as I am, they are just afraid to display that sternness online because of the backlash they get. What a lot of groomers don’t understand is that you are teaching pet parents and new groomer to let puppies and dogs get away with unacceptable behavior which in turn will get those dogs injured. My boss and I were JUST talking about that today. She said verbatim “I work with you so I know what you display online is how you actually groom because so many groomers don’t” for me, I can’t because I can’t be the reason a dog gets hurt because I was afraid to discipline a dog because of what someone might think. Make sure the dog doesn’t get injured is my only concern. Obviously don’t abuse the dog but you get what I’m saying. Use a stern voice so they snap out the behavior and can finish getting groomed. Be the dominant one. The reason the world is so soft and sensitive is because they don’t truly understand the dog they have, their mentality and their learning abilities. To understand a dog is the best this a owner can do.

[@Schiffon]

@@TheLuvOfDogstrue. Of course in many areas of this country neutering is fundamentally good, because owners are mostly not good at training their dogs and they can get loose when females living near them go into heat because they too aren’t neutered (spayed) Overpopulation is still a huge problem. A dog is much happier when they aren’t only thinking of making puppies 🐶. I truly believe in spay/neuter all pets. Live in peace 🌱❤️

[@shihtzulover1101]

i have had 11 shihtzu and none have been agressive while grooming....Some have tried to give me attitudie but i just told thme no and they would not win this war and they give in....My vets say i have the best acting shihtzu they have ever met lol

[@kriskriskris32]

I love that you showed Teddy who was boss. Not everybody understands dog behavior. There definitely needs to be an alpha in the "pack". My dog thought he was gonna be in charge of my front door. So I've taught him to go lay down when someone's at the door. Now he knows it's my door and he's not in charge of guarding me. He still guards me when i go to the bathroom, tho 🙄

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

🤣🤣🤣 my dogs guard me at the bathroom too 😂😂. Do you know why they do that? Dogs guard at the bathrooms because we are (in their mind) at our weakest point so they need to protect us. If you ever notice your dog staring at you while they go to the bathroom that is why. You are protected them while they’re at their weakest point. But yes there definitely needs to be an alpha in the pack for sure.

My lil Mickey is 11 yrs old...n he's way more Grumpier than Teddy! .y groomer is ver patient with him, bit a few months ago, he ...out. of the blue, started biting the scissors n clippers etc...he refused to have his face done! Well, the vet decided he would need light sedation to get him groomed. I'm not a fan of sedation, at all. N last month, he was sedated a lil to much I think....he slept the rest of the day n most of the next!! I just now got him to trust me enuff to give him a bath!! N he totally loves me. I inherited him a year ago. I wish I knew how to groom him. I love the way u handle Teddy...great job!

Be handsome is a good thing, but that's not enough at the grooming salon!👏 I agree with you 💯 Good manners are formed with good habits! To love a dog is to give him good training and never treated him as a child.

I’m not sure I am spelling it right, but I had 2 Rotts that would get a yeasty ear infection because they loved to swim. I use colloidal silver which I got at a pharmacy and would put a drop or two in their ears and wiped the ears out with a cotton ball containing colloidal silver. It worked for me.

Hi Brittany! I’ve read that adding a tsp of baking soda to a liter of the dogs water will neutralize the yeast if treated for 5-7 days. Also, applying turmeric directly to the yeast area as it is anti inflammatory and an anti fungal agent. Got a question, how do you handle the nipple areas on male dogs? It looks like you shaved his whole belly area without going around them. I know they are more prominent in un spayed females, but on my spayed female shi-pom, her nipples are mostly not prominent but I try not to clipper over them. However, to be honest, I have cut over one or two. What is the usual school if thought on this problem? Thanks so much.

That’s a great suggestion. I’m gonna screenshot that and show her when she comes in next. So male nipples are more flush to the skin and not prominent at all. They don’t really have them tbh. So for males it’s not too much of an issue. Now for females, it’s a completely different story lol. Depending on how prominent they are will depend on what blade I use or guard comb. Tbh I go really slow if they are really prominent like they just had puppies. That honestly always makes me nervous 😩

Aw....gorgeous boy ❤

[@JudyMeadows-dv9on]

Teddy looks great now. How often should he get clipped?

[@NissaLorraine]

After cleaning you can use some yeast cream on the outer ear portion. Not down in the ear.

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

Ok, I’ll recommend that as well

[@marabrohman1876]

The ear issues could be a corn in the kibble allergy. Had that happen to one of my dogs.

[@placidfury]

For those nasty yeasty ears I have found the remedy. Use a feminine hygiene product for women's yeast infections. I use a generic form of monastic cream. They have applicator tubes and I used ½ tube in each ear morning and night for 7 to 10 days. This stuff is hard to get rid of but the cream really works. It's really gonna depend on if the owner can actually apply this and rub his ears. He may not let them. Use a muzzle or e collar. But this works and it will not hurt the dog at all. Now you may have a dog that has chronic yeast and for those you could actually use this once a month or so for the rest of his life. U gotta do what U gotta do. Been grooming for 40 years. ❤

You had me at “ Teddy you a turd” 🤣

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@naturalwarrior8127]

Teddy you’re so cute,say thank you ❤️❤️🥰🥰

[@judypausina6278]

This dog probably has fear aggression. I have a toy poodle that used to bite us and we just couldn’t find out what was wrong. I researched those words and educated myself about it. He is greatly improved now at 5 years. We got him at 4 months and I don’t know what the owner did to him.

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

I could see this being Teddy’s issue as well as lack of socialization

[@lisakane6708]

He's adorable

First time visiting your channel. Awesome job! Subscribed!

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

Thank you so much! Welcome 🙏🏾 🥰

[@DebbieWright-oz3yc]

I love the honesty!When my dog was alive. She didn’t like baths. But she liked grooming even less. If we’d take her to the groomer she was fine if I wasn’t there . My mother I. Law had this kind of a fog. She would attack the UPS DRIVER. He lunged at my granddaughter once and my husband threw a pumpkin at her. It scared my mother in law. She’s was ok! Anyway. I couldn’t keep her she fought with my 🐶 it was sad her grandchildren inherited her mi ey but wouldn’t take her dog. They were very selfish!

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

Lol some little dogs can be so spicy 😂

[@yoriancontreras4199]

you are great!!!! 🐕🐶💝

[@vees191]

How do you keep tear stains under control? Some of those products don't work. Love your work. Wish you much success✨👌💪💪✨🐕💕

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

Tear stains usually stem from allergies. Most of the time it is food allergies but can be seasonal. Does your dog lick their paws and itch a whole lot?

[@robintompkins8879]

Hi my shih has ear infection, my vet put him on apoquel. and haveto clean his ears evey 2-3 days,with Trileptal aqueous flush. and when his ears get sticky, the vet has me use .mometamax you will need to get this from your vet. I deal with this all the time and allergies are causing this and Food is not the problem, they say allergies is the cause. I hopethis help.😊

[@kellydunn4344]

You did a great job!!!

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

Thank you so much!!

[@laurak9666]

Just remember no matter what anyone says they're not in the room with you, it's all about safety. So just ignore any haters. Apple cider vinegar is a good choice. But if the dog can't tolerate the smell then use a damp paper towel and baking soda. As long as you use different damp paper towels to rinse it out completely it should be okay, but make sure all the baking soda is out or it could dry out the ears. Or even create hot spots. Keep in mind that baking soda is an exfoliant and it only takes a little bit to get the job done.🐕🐾

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

Thank you so much 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@suv4life]

Question. ... how come you do cut near the ear canal or brush up the paws to get the hair in between his toes?

[@TheLuvOfDogs]

I’ll shave near the ear canal if it is requested by the owner but leaving the hair there makes the ears more fuller. The hair in the paw pads I’ll pull up with my fingers if that cut needs it. Or if it’s too long

[@Lisaanne909]

Zymox with hydrocortisone has worked wonders for my shih tzus ears.

[@juliaclark1]

Good job lady!😊😊
