    I’ve retired but having been a groomer for 45 years I must say it’s wonderful to see a professional doing a professional job.
    In all this time I have never been aware of dogs having issues as the hair grows back. I have however discovered some interesting debris imbedded in the soft section of their skin. Amongst gravel causing a huge abscess, amongst other vegetation I’ve pulled out a grass seed on one occasion that oozed puss as I removed it. I squeezed the rest of the puss out until I could see blood, cleaned it properly with antiseptic and the dog was fine. It had to have been causing discomfort to the dog and it wasn’t far from being a trip to the vet. So a professional groomer can save owners money and their dog from the stress of a stranger poking them about. Not to forget it also prevents them from the discomfort in the first place. Well done to the OP, I’m sure you will have done a lot of good with passing on your knowledge and in such clear manner. Bravo

    Tech here: Dogs with cleaned shaved paws like this suffer in long run. DONT clean hair out but level it off instead. When hair grows back sharp, it irritates their paws, hence licking, and causes discomfort.

    • @Brenda-jn8ln
      @Brenda-jn8ln Місяць тому

      Totally agree!! I only "clean up" the hair on the bottom of paws. I think some groomers get a little to obsessed with the clean paw. Doesn't look comfortable for the dog .

      Ingrown hairs may become a problem too. It's also good to check feet after exercising somewhere with grass awns like foxtails whether dog's paws are shaved or not. Some grass awns are very thin but strong.

      Keep trying. Have your clippers out & run it around the dog so he gets used to the noise. And let him see & smell it. Then just hold it on his body here & there without clipping. So thats what I did & it helps desensitize.

I live overseas and was hesitant to take my Husky to a groomer for several reasons, and was going to buy some clippers today and try it myself. VERY glad I found your channel.

    Thanks for the video. I am an amateur groomer but took a community education class. My only warning is too make sure blade doesn’t get too hot so you don’t burn your dog or switch out blade if it is. My friend said she did that to her g dog.

  • @sweatytea333
    @sweatytea333 9 місяців тому +4

    Appreciate the lesson! As much as I'd love to be able to take my dog to a groomer on a regular basis, I just can't afford it for now. Besides, he doesn't really require professional grooming. But he does have a decent amount of hair on his paw pads that he gets sap on. Plus he has allergies so when his feet get itchy, he will lick them a bunch. If they stay too wet for too long, then they can get all infected. Keeping his paw pads trimmed up has helped us mostly avoid that issue! But he is a Corgi with very lil legs. And I don't have anything to use as a grooming table. So I put him on the floor on his back, between my legs and go about it that way. Lol!

    Call me nervous ninny with a 14 year old Pekingese and a 3 month old Malti tzu. Hair, hair and more hair. I am the text book example of an owner who makes their dogs nervous. Main reason? I dont know what Im doing and why or why not to do so.Thank God I clicked on your video.I have watched and read countless videos and blogs but have yet to attempt removing hair in and around paw pads because if I combine everything I learned from those videos and blogs, together,it amounts to nothing. I watched other people do it,unable to even see what it was they were doing.After watching your presentation just once I have learned... Where to start on the paw, whether or not the blade can touch the paw or no, the direction to go in, and the reasons why. I learned what blade to use if I don't have that particular size a different size I could use. The tip on the hair between the pads, advising the watcher to go both ways rather than digging in one direction was very useful as well as your instruction on how you should hold the grooming tool. So many helpful bits of advice were given in a clear calm manner and you included the reasons why or why not to do them. I will watch the video one or two more times but afterwards I will be making my first attempt at paw fur removal. That's how much I have gotten out of your excellent instructional video. Lastly I take away the fact that I should be patient since I don't think my two models are anywhere near as professional and learned as the wonderful trusting model that you partnered with,lol, you have a lovely dog there.

I did one paw on m y dog ok, but stopped and thought that I better watch a few videos . Wow, thank you so much for explaining so clearly and thoughtfully.
