WORST UNDERCOAT REMOVAL EVER

[@Ksonger88]

I know as groomers we all have different methods and for different reasons so this isn't judgment just an idea. It would have helped a TON to blow out that dog before the bath. A lot of groomers don't like doing that because your shop ends up covered in hair and dandruff. This advice has saved me so much! You can get mosquito nets that hang for camping or for beds, put that over your drying area to keep it contained. Quick clean up. They are super light and can be hung on a tiny nail or hook and put up and down easily when needed. I also highly recommend every groomer get a bee keeping hat. It has mesh that covers your face and tightens around your neck. I know we can't all do these things but if your able this setup has worked amazing for me. Just an idea.

[@momosause2126]

thats what i was gonna say! brushing a compacted coat on a dog that doesnt like being brushed didnt make sense to me. blowing the coat before the bath is my go too and also it doesnt clog any drains😂

Ya she would've been done alot quicker. This was such a long process for the dog.

Consider a mat for them to stand on during their bath. Feet sliding enables the dogs footing and slipping.

[@momof4bostons]

Just an idea, I'm a retired Master Barber, been grooming mine since I was a teenager I bought a separate pair of blending shears, not thinning shears for my dogs, to cut into the mats or knots. 2 or 3 snips and the mats are easier to get out without pulling in the coat.

[@LexisLoves]

Yes!

[@catelynbrown6624]

Omg that has to feel so incredible to not only get that loose fur off but that had to be insanely itchy!!! No wonder she's being so cooperative, I sit there all day if my skin was that flaky!! I'm so glad for this dog that someone FINALLY took the time to fully help her!!

[@kirstinwhite1850]

Thank you!

[@virginiakoerner9317]

She is being so good for you and you almost never tell her so. She's in bad shape but that's not her fault. You raked her hard and pulled her hair hard. The only way she complained was to turn her head and look at your hands. It doesn't hurt you to tell her she's a good girl once in a while. Hold her hair when you're brushing or tugging on the long hairs please. Treat her like you want to be treated! And by the way? That slicker brush hurts when you scratch her skin a million times. It's made of a bunch of stiff hooks. You appear to be a nice lady. Please be nicer to the old dogs! I'm an old retired nurse. Before that I was a vet tech. I love animals. I treat them well.

[@kathleennolan5089]

Damn. Does she realize how much it hurts a kid when their hair is knotted and you yank a comb through it? Well, it hurts a dog too.

She does tell her she's good though, but I see your point. Besides, be mad at the owner who let it get this bad.

Poor dog is terribly stressed. I sure hope she had plenty of breaks during that groom. The heavy panting can be from pain. Old dogs like that are very often arthritic, so being forced to stand and balance while someone rips at their coat,difficult and is miserable. A little gentleness would go a long way, as would allowing the dog to lay down at every opportunity.

[@Cam-ve9xh]

Thanks for the comment that I was thinking. This poor dog seemed so stressed. I wish she showed some Empathy for these dogs. Just some kind words besides sit or stand.Some of these dogs seem terrified. Kindness goes a long way..

[@melaniehewitt3899]

Totally agree. You should watch "Girl with the dogs" she is constantly talking to them and using their name it's just seems to calm the dog.

[@TimTam3]

I found the brushing far too rough and she hated her tail being brushed and pulled like that which is why the dog growled at her 😢 I get that she's probably in a hurry and just wants to get the groom done but I still think she should be a bit more gentle because the dog is the one going through it and she was so well behaved through the whole thing ❤

This is an old video, but for anyone grooming, please do not keep yanking on long hairs that you keep blowing around. Cut off the length you plan to remove anyway later, to help let hairs fall out as you go. Don't keep tangling it and yanking it over and over. Use your head. I see this on other grooming videos too. I just care about the dogs. They have no say in the process

[@ellenpapuga7469]

Maybe health problems so she's unable to brush her, maybe financial problems so she can't afford to get her groomed as much as she should. We don't know what is going on in other people's lives. The dog is elderly so you can't say she needs to find another home for her. Very difficult to find homes for senior dogs. She's probably doing the best she can.

[@victoriaferris5410]

I wouldn't be bringing my dog back to her after watching how she is just yanking the dogs hair with the slicker brush . Get a pair of scissors and or comb that help to cut through the mats. I thought you weren't supposed to brush wet or damp hair as it makes the mats hard to get out. Also drying the fur too close to the skin tangles the hair as well. She needs better equipment. She does know what she's doing though, for the most part. You also need to learn about different breeds, some have much different coats that require different ways to clean and cut their fur..

[@wyomingadventures]

If it was hurting the dog, you would have obviously seen that. I don't think she was heavy handed at all. If you're going to be upset with anyone it should be the owner of the dog for letting it get that bad. Looks like the owner neglected that dog imo. I'm sure that dog was relieved to get the hair and died skin out of its coat.

I'm not sure I would put the blame on the other groomers, and say they didn't want to put in the effort. If they take in a large volume of dogs and the owner never told them how bad of shape the dog is in, they may not have had enough time to do a proper job before their next appointment. I have a severely compacted samoyed coming in, and the owner let me see him before we booked an appointment. I have blocked an entire day just for him so I can hopefully save the coat. If she had not, I wouldn't have known that this dog is going to take 4+ hours, and only booked it for a 2 hour slot.

It is definitely an education. I owned a shepard for many years and no one ever told me about going to a groomer. I did pay attention to when shedding started and brushed him many times per day especially during shedding season. He was never carrying a huge undercoat. This would have been much easier especially with most of the coat gone from brushing. It would be nice if where ever you got the dog from would tell you that the dog will need grooming and how often it would be needed. He never needed to be trimmed and never had knots in his hair. We brushed him morning noon and night. Literally every time we sat down he got brushed. Watching tv was easy brush time and he loved it. I now have a chihuahua and was not told he needed to be groomed. He is agressive. I have now got him to where he will tolerate scissors but not for long. I did not start him soon enough because I was not told. I am working with him.

[@kewikid68]

😍 I love watching pets being groomed.🥰 She looked like a brand new wonderful dog! I know for myself what it's like when unpredictable jobs or the extent of them increases and takes much longer than expected. 🙄🙈 I'm a hairdresser and I'm also used to it when customers book in for a wash/cut/dry and when they're sitting in the chair, they suddenly think that... they might need highlights or tinting after all, or that their roots are bigger than they thought, that their perm isn't curly enough after the cut... Then you start rotating, because all the other scheduled appointments get messed up and you have to make sure that nobody has to wait too long. 😬 Because if I don't do the service requested, the customer is unhappy and there's always the risk that she'll go somewhere else next time. And if my next customers have to wait too long in between, they are dissatisfied because they had a fixed appointment that I can't keep exactly, which also means there is always the possibility that they might go to another hairdresser next time. 🤷🏼‍♀️ The salon day is rarely only 8 hours long. You arrive shortly before 8 a.m. and usually don't leave until after 6:00 p.m. 6:30 p.m. There are often only very short breaks, during which you can hardly have a proper meal or rest. 🥴 But - you must never let your customers feel that you're running out of time, that you're actually too busy, that the day is too long or that you can't finish work on time. That's where I think to myself that the animals surely also sense when you get hectic, restless or irritated. Doesn't that also affect their behavior? It's not that I don't understand that some days are worse than others, but especially in our profession, the customer should never notice or feel it. That's why I believe that a great deal of patience is often required, especially with animals. Of course, the extra work should be paid for accordingly. But the condition in which the animal is brought, as you have described very correctly, is due to the owner 😤 not the animal itself. 👍🏻 In this case she 🐶 was extremely well behaved, with a wonderful temperament 🫶🏻🫶🏻🩷 But that is not often the case, especially when the treatment takes so much time. I think that's why it's always very important to be calm. You should express to the owner that you are displeased about the facts.🤨 Maybe it was just me who found it so restless and hectic, as I haven't seen so many of your groomings yet. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I found it quite stressful even watching. But that's just my personal opinion, rather subjective. And that was allready my only point that somehow bothered me. However, the result was really beautiful! The before/after was really impressive 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻💕 That was an enormous amount of work!💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

I hope she has sorted herself out and looks after this dog a lot better than she has been. xx Edit: if the lady complained about the price I hope you showed her your work area and how much fur was everywhere as well as the before and after shots.

Marybeth, you’ve done an awesome job on this dog. I don’t know how you were able to continue to stick with it. I wouldn’t have been able to. I know you had to of been exhausted. Again, awesome job!!

I've watched this one twice and I wonder if it would've helped, since it wasn't matted to trim up the longer pieces of hair before going into the bath? Shorter stuff for the top stuff to go through. Just a thought.

That poor sweet old lady! What a procedure. It would be great to know if the owner ever brings her back - and how long it takes before that happens. Marybeth’s patience and professionalism throughout this tough groom is commendable.

Love the way you work with the animals. In this case, the dog doesn’t want to sit because the tub is too slippery and they can’t keep their legs from sliding around.

The owner said the dog didn't like to be brushed. That is obviously a lie. Assuming it was true, the owner should have taken her to be groomed more often. I hope this owner watches this and see the pain and suffering they caused their dog.

To all pet-searchers: PLEASE consider: a longhaired animal looks great, but asks A LOT of work, brushing and grooming, if you ain't in for that: there's a lot of short haired animals, that are way easier to maintain!

Hi Marybeth I had a question as I have a double coated dog and now it's grooming season. So why is it better to deshed after the bath then before the bath? I was was to deshed her with a slicker and undercoat rake wouldn't that save me more water?

Love you for all the help, you're really quick to judge tho

[@lorrainedubzak6654]

Wow you spent over two hours on that dog what a transformation. She looks beautiful compared to to when you started. Did the owner complain about the price of this groom? I hope she didn’t. You do amazing work

🕳️lee💩 woman you are my hero! You have the patience of Job and the biggest heart

When I had a Keeshound, we had her washed, trimmed, and her belly shaved three times a year. Especially before she had puppies.

She turned out amazing!! That was a lot of work. As you said, it should have been known upfront how badly she was undercoated. The owner really should have been much more clear!!
