Love that he still has his tail. I also like how you trim just enough, so he still has his Aussiness! 😊🐾I’m keeping my Aussie’s fur too. Eventually I’ll be combing it and combining with wool and angora to spin and then weave. Their fur has almost the same loft as angora. Love this! Thanks!
Wonderful grooming demo! Love that you show lots of sensitivity to Mochi’s comfort.❤ Our WBCR rescue, Trip, is a black and white BC/AuCaDo-Aussie. His build is very similar to Mochi’s, tail included:) But he looks more BC, so for years I kept him in long feathers because for some reason I got stuck on the idea that only a “natural” BC look would do. One day it dawned on me: WHY am I putting him (and me) thru the ordeal of maintaining it?! So now we do just as you do-I use all the same tools you do to remove loose undercoat and keep legs neatly trimmed, front and back. (I also take Trip to a groomer on a fairly regular basis as she can blow out more undercoat than what I can achieve with the shedding comb.) Trip is clearly happier in a neat trim, and he looks so much nicer. Best, life is easier for us both. I like how you shape Mochi’s belly and tail too. Now I see how nice it looks on Mochi, we’ll give that a try! Thanks for the inspiration. Hats off for doing a beautiful job with minimal stress. I look forward to exploring your channel! 🐾💕
Aw that is so sweet, thank u so much!! Trip sounds soo cute 🥰 Btw, i basically use this channel now for just dog tv but if youre interested in positive reinforcement based dog training videos, my other channel is @graciewellsdogtraining 🥰🥰🥰
@@thegoodfloof I sure am so thanks for the tip! R+ is so key to everything. Trip came to me with long, hairy feet, a long, matted tail and a strong aversion to grooming tools. Using a clicker, lots of treats plus social learning alongside my other dog he was soon desensitized and counter-conditioned to enjoy the grooming experience. Good grooming is so important to dogs’ health & wellbeing so again, great job showing how it’s done!
Thank u! Omg a toy aussie is what inspired me to want an aussie! I used to walk the cutest little guy 🥰 but yes the fluff doesn’t discriminate toy, mini, standard😂
Good Q! So essentially u start super small and build up. So day 1: just let your dog sniff, boop, touch, walk by the machine. U can leave it on the floor all day to be honest as long as they arent chewing on it. Leave it off at this point. Give treats nearby it to create positive associations Day 2-10: turn it on at the lowest intensity, and encourage them to come closer. Give them lots of treats to associate it with positive stuff! Day 11-20: continue with the above, but this time gently touch the machine to their body and continue giving lots of treats during this (enlist some help if needed!) dont actually use the machine on them at this point (this works for nail dremel and shaver machine) Day 21-31: u can start using it for 1 second on their actual bodies. If you mean the dail dremel, literally just graze one nail for 2 seconds . If you mean shaver, just shave 1 square inch n be done After that, try using the machine on them as often as possible for just a few seconds at a time. As they get better, u can increase duration. Id recommend having your dog secured to a table to use the tool so they dont move during use and get hurt or mess up!
@ thank you. I need to desensitize our border collie to the car, vacuum, air blower, bunch of stuff. Thanks for the video I ordered those brushes to start out with.

You make it look so easy. I wish my boy was as calm as yours! Great video!

He's so pretty. What a beautiful dog. I have a toy Aussie. Well aware of the fluff.

Glad I watched this. My BC needs some trimming but I won't take her to a groomer.
Yay ! Ya i never take mine to a groomer, do it all at home 🥰
Do you have a link to the dog grooming kit you use?

How do you desensitize them to the machine! Thanks
