First thing we learned in grooming school is: mats do not equal neglect. The majority of dog owners do not have the time to brush their dogs coat every day. With maltipoos their hair texture is one that requires constant attention. We see this all the time and do not judge the dog owners, in fact we are are grateful they are bringing the dog to get the required attention rather than let the coat get even worse.
@@candacekieper4354I groom my neighbors maltipoo every 2 weeks! The mats get out of control if I don’t!! Owner doesn’t like dog to be too short in winter but doesn’t brush dog regularly either!!
Maltipoos have fine hair. This is due to the maltese influence in the breed. Maltipoos can be curly wavy or straight all coming from the same litter. I have siblings (male and female) and their hair is quite different in texture. They require grooming with a fine tooth comb every single day without fail in order to keep the mats from forming. If you begin when they are really young, they love the attention. Make it fun and make a lot of fuss over them and they will look forward to the undivided attention. This groomer is amazing and the dog is pretty well behaved considering all the special attention involved in removing the mats. Thanks for this video. It is good to see how the grooming is done and I think that occupation deserves to be a very high paying profession.
Oh my goodness, dear, you truly have the patience of Jobe! Also very skillful. I trim my own Maltipoo and every time, about halfway through, I’m always asking myself, “Why on earth am I not taking this dog to a professional?!?!” Sometimes she turns out really great and other times...uhh, not so good. Your video is a great help and thanks for uploading!!!
We have two Lhasas and a Shih Tzu and they need grooming regularly. Due to our oldest getting stressed at the groomers, I'm learning to do them myself and find it very rewarding. I'm loving watching this video. Even though our dogs are never allowed to get matted like that, it's all education and worth a view. A very caring lady who's just didn't give up and shave him completely down. Well done.
I am learning alot because my silky is 13 , and she gets stressed when at groomers, so I'm learning to do myself. Plus, as a senior myself, I can't afford the prices now. I realize it's alot of work, but since it's not cheap, I wait too long between cuts. She always ends up looking like a street dog, so I want to keep her groomed myself. Good video.
You are really good with that dog.You were firm yet gentle and reassuring to him. Great cut from such a mess. Wish you lived in San Antonio- need a good groomer for my Maltipoo.
First time I have commented on a video - Thank you very much. Just rescued one of these little guys and need/want to groom him myself. Thank you. I appreciate you used a regular rescue type dog and not a well trained one. This really showed your talent!!!
Your patience with an amazing! I was impressed with your caring for the dog and giving him such a good cut. he was definitely not an easy dog to groom, especially to do a demonstration on but you did a wonderful job!
My maltipoo completely freaks out with the clipper noise but I found these clippers called scaredy cut. Works great! This dog is so wonderfully calm compared to my maltipoo. I really love my bulldog. I don't care what people say about English bulldog maintenance. My maltipoo is so much more maintain. Love them both.
I give my Maltipoo a good brushing through every 2 days and she STILL gets mats. What most don't understand is how mats are formed. Mats are formed at the rate in which fur is shed and grows in. The faster the fur grows, the more is shed and gets stuck in the newly growing fur. Mats are NOT a sign of neglect. They are extremely common and can get bad quickly, depending on how fast the dog's fur grows back. You also need to understand that some people can't afford to go to a groomer often. It's been a few months since I've taken Sophie, and I haven't had the extra money to go get her cut. I'm having to do it at home due to the fact her fur is getting WAY too long. That's another thing- Mats are common in dogs that have long fur and form even quicker then. Please, keep in mind that this dog most likely wasn't neglected. There are many valid reasons the owners were unable to groom or take the dog to the groomer.
Then people need to understand before owning this type of dog if they can’t maintain it. These mats hurt these dogs!! They look ugly and need regular brushing!! They are a lot of work!! Choose your dog due to your own dedication to it!!!
06/17/2020: Girlfriend, you blew me away with your patience with Zipper. You did a beautiful job and I am contemplating doing my two Maltipoos myself going forward. I've already ordered my table w/the arm and am going to buy all the other equipment pieces I need only because it's getting expensive and one of my pups is a bit frisky and has separation issues. Therefore, I'm on my way, but thank you for such a wonderful tutorial. Your soothing voice and the way you handled Zipper enabled you to do a great job. I hope its owner appreciated all that you did considering what you had to work with, with all the matting. Take care and have a good life!
Perfect! I have a 12 year old Maltipoo at home that hates to be groomed, brushed or bathed.. You make it look so easy. I'll be doing her step by step with your video playing. Thank you
I enjoyed that it was a REAL dog (wriggly etc) I am going to be looking for more like that, and how you manage. I am new to the grooming industry(1yr) and am a mibile groomer... watching people with so much experience and technique helps me so much!!!
I don't know why this video was so soothing to me. It was so relaxing I was falling asleep! lol Now I will go buy some tools and groom my Maltipoo. The only reason I'm going to try my hand at grooming her is because she's very well behaved. When I bathe her or checking for fleas, she's very still. Mine is much curlier than Zipper so hopefully I'm as successful as you. Thanks for showing!
You are a wonderful groomer. This video was awesome. Great filming and grooming! You did so much for that little dog. And you didn't put down the owner for the terrible condition of the dog. I hope you were paid well.
Poor Zipper you did a really good job I have a black maltipoo and his hair gets tangled a lot. I try to brush atty least twice a week, and I just cut the matted hair. I want to try the teddy bear cut on him. Great video, you're an awesome, caring and extremely patient.
You are so calm and have lots of patients with the dog, god bless you. I have 2 maltipoos , one has poodle curly hair and other more Maltese. Would you please show how to gromm a poodle dog with a curly hair ? I dont want to shave his face and paws like a poodle but make it all round face. Thank you,
This video is awesome. I always look for a good video on how to do my malti poo. I messed up the first time a while back. Yours is by far the best. It takes time for sure. You should have a school. Thought bout being a groomer, u would be a good teacher. Thank u
I just love this video.So helpful! I thought my dog was the only one with such thick matting like a sheep. This helps me to groom her better.Thank you so much
Finally a dog that squirms around like my baby does :) Thank you for showing me how to cut a not so cooperative dog that sits perfectly still LoL My baby really DISlikes anybody messing with her feet!!
Very helpful video. You did an amazing job, teaching and giving great tips. I'm curious, what type of clippers were those. I noticed that they had lights on them. Very cool and helpful those would be.
What a lovely lady. The dog was pretty good, considering what it went through. I don't get how the hair got to be such a problem. My Cotonpoo has very challenging hair but I only need to comb him about 3 times a week.
I noticed the dog is very relaxed in large part because you do not talk really LOUD around the dog. Some groomers talk so loud while grooming it gets the dog even more reactive and resistant to being groomed.
A couple of moments scared me with the scissors buy you're a pro. My malshi is aggressive and tries to bite the groomer so I may need to learn how to do it myself.
Just got a puppy they said just let her hair grow this winter and shave her in the spring. After watching this I better buy some good brushes. And how often should you groom them?
hi I loved this video because you gave a lot of information. This dog seemed a bit more unsure of the grooming even though you are one of the most gentle groomers. Is this what happens if you don't take them regular. My Maltipoo is only 9 weeks so should I take her regularly to get in the habit.
What a great job u do at managing the dog. I doggy-sit my son's maltese x while he works & he gets v impatient when we try to cut out his frequently matted bits ... The dog's skin is sensitive, so i kinda feel restricted to brushing, rather than combing - so that could mean brushing brushing forever & ever & I'm just not well enough to do that. Do u hv any suggestions to help reduce matting? Is there a better type of brush to make brushing more effective?
You were so patient and caring with Zipper. Question, what scissor brand do you use/ recommend? Also do you order those cute handkerchiefs online and where from? Thanks for sharing your video!
You are a fabulous groomer, so gentle and kind. Love this video. I think I can learn to groom my own dogs with you as a guide. Was this a rescue dog? I can't imagine an owner letting their dog get that bad. Also can you tell me what kind of tools you are using? I want to get good shears and thinning shears to use. What brands do you recommend? THANKS A LOT!!
Hello, great video! I was wondering, i have a maltipoo a year and a half old and she seems a bit irritated about her inside ear hair and i wanted to something about it. Just like you did, should i pluck them out by fingers? Does it really not hirt them?
Sadie you just need a more experienced dog Behaviorist to groom your dog! I have been doing it for 20 years and now I do not use muzzles. I groom like Ceasar Millian, if they bite me I just keep going, so the dog knows they just have to deal with it bc I'm NOT going to stop! I have been bitten many times, but it does not stop me from grooming. Just look for a groomer that has a lot of experience with grooming 5yrs+! It is just my opinion! You do not have to do what I say, but I hope it can help you! :)
jSharon. I am having difficulty finding shears that will cut my maltipoos fur. They jam up and wont go through it. Suggestions needed on best type of shears and blades.
@Donna she already put a link up above^ .. My son had the same problem with any he bought. Sharon's other comments mention that they need to be sharpened too, so we may give that a try.
You have to be the most patient person alive! For the sake of that poor unloved dog, I would have simply cut out those bad spots. Obviously, the owners aren't too fussy about whether their dog is groomed or suffers with tangles or they wouldn't have allowed this to get so out of hand. I just adopted a 10 year old Multipoo from the local animal control and she was a mess so I had to have her shaved but I'll try my darned to stay ahead of keeping her brushed and trimmed. Now if I could just figure out how to keep her from peeing in the house. Someone didn't care about this little 3 1/2 lb. little old lady but I'm going to make sure the rest of her life will be happy....that is, if I live that long, lol.
Well done, and very calming attitude with the dogs. Poor little guy, so many painful mats. Owners do not realize that matted hair means its painful for the dog to walk, sit, stretch, and be groomed. Its not just neglected hair, but painful skin that occurs. Owners take note. and do not get a dog you cannot maintain with brushing.
I can't believe how matted this dog was. Zipper appeared neglected. When was his last grooming? I hope you reached out to the owner with some concerns. He had to feel so much better. Caring for a maltipoo takes lots of grooming time....maybe 20-30 minutes a day. Their hair grows really fast.
His HAIR appeared neglected. While that is sad, he appeared otherwise well-nourished, bright, happy & good-natured ... Zipper's owner may have had an accident since his last grooming, or may like myself may have a chronic, debilitating illness, leaving them physically unable to carry out those duties for a while ... When these things happen, ppl don't just appear at ur door offering to help & if u gave up ur dog, ppl would criticise u for that too ... It's easy to be judgemental of others, kindness costs nothing ...
This is in response to Sadie. Take them to a veterinarian that both cleans teeth and grooms. I don't know how dire your situation is, but find a vet that will do both. Ask them to sedate your dog clean its teeth and groom it. They have to sedate them anyway to scrape the plaque off their teeth and check their teeth. After that its dog training time. Maybe the Vet might know a good trainer to help you.
I want to ask what kind of haircut machine u used because i have a Maltipoo and she is bad on Matts im always using clippers to cut them out but she very curly im getting tried brushing her, it sad to see her so Matted any suggestions
Curly should not make much difference. I do think good clippers are important. I use Andis but the thing is to buy ones for a professional groomer . I spend 150 + _ try groomerschoice.com But your problem might be your blade blades need to be sharpend they get dull and if you cut a damp dog they will get very dull.
Cupkvp, use a comb on your Maltipoo's hair. After you clip her/his hair only use a comb & not a brush. Brushes are used on dogs with fur, and Maltipoo's have hair just like us. :)
I am loss as to what you are referring to. On a maltipoo. I use both a brush and comb. A comb is useful when it's long and/ or matted. A well brushed dog will most likely not need a comb. If the dog has long hair a brush can just go over the top and you can miss so of the matts. So for a long haired bog I do recommend a comb to make sure I not missing any marts that are close to the skin. Hope this helped
Sharon Butts Hi Sharon, When my son & I took his Maltipoo to the groomer she said not to use a brush on a dog with hair, but to comb them. So, we thought that we were just doing the right thing. Thanks for your words of wisdom. :)
Princess Beach For my dog it was like 9 dollars. But we got a discount on the haircut because the guy is my Dad's friend. It depends if your Maltipoo is more Poodle or more Maltese.
I must congratulate you on filming Zipper's grooming. He was terribly matted with long hair; shame on the owners, nice of you to take it in stride. That poor pup needed a nap after all that! You are patient and not mean to the pup at all. I hope not all your grooms are as difficult as this poor guy. MALTESE OWNERS; see what happens if you don't take care of your pups? If they're too much trouble or it's too expensive, just get them shaved down to a short cut a few times a year; easier on all that way.
Does anybody have any suggestions if your malti poo is really aggressive when you try to cut him? It's gotten to the point that the groomers won't do it. I know how to but he growls and snaps at me, he has actually bit me a few times. So any suggestion would be very helpful!
To add on to that we actually took him to the groomers, she shaved half of his back, he snapped at her so she called us and told us she couldn't do it and gave us a half shaven dog back.
I groom my own dogs and my dog is the same way (except he doesn't snap or bite, he just gets extreme anxiety and doesn't let me do a thing because he cowars). My dog is naturally a very anxious little dog (also a maltipoo). I give him 1/4 of an anti stress med for dogs that the vet gave me to make it easier on him when grooming. It makes him more relaxed and wears completely off in a couple hours. If you don't like the idea of giving your dog a medication, try a natural stress reliever for pets (they come in the appearance of a treat). You can usually get them at the vet or online. Because they're natural, you can double up on them if need be.
Does the owner ever brush Zipper? Good Lord what matts. I think he did great with all the work it required to get them all out. You did a wonderful job and are very kind to the dog. Shame on the owner!

How often should you groom just bought a puppy and they said let grow this winter and shave in spring???
@@candacekieper4354I groom my neighbors maltipoo every 2 weeks! The mats get out of control if I don’t!! Owner doesn’t like dog to be too short in winter but doesn’t brush dog regularly either!!
You pretty much shaved him to the skin. Easiest and fastest way to groom.
Sharon you were amazing with zipper....You did such a great job ...You made me appreciate what a groomer goes through when a dog is matted...
You are simply the best dog groomer, such patience and professionalism! You should teach.
Maltipoos have fine hair. This is due to the maltese influence in the breed. Maltipoos can be curly wavy or straight all coming from the same litter.

Please, keep in mind that this dog most likely wasn't neglected. There are many valid reasons the owners were unable to groom or take the dog to the groomer.
Maltipoos have hair not fur. They do not shed. That’s why they need to be groomed every 6-8 weeks. Otherwise their hair will grow and grow, not shed.
Then people need to understand before owning this type of dog if they can’t maintain it. These mats hurt these dogs!! They look ugly and need regular brushing!! They are a lot of work!! Choose your dog due to your own dedication to it!!!

There is ear powder you can get for the ears... Sprinkle some ear powder in and you pluck them out. But be gentle.
God bless you💕

Hi there great job explaining the process. I have a question. Why is there so much matting on this dog .

so would you use a 7 blade if the dog wasn't matted?

as others point out, YOU'RE WONDERFUL - so soothing and calm I want you to cut my hair.: P
Well done, and very calming attitude with the dogs. Poor little guy, so many painful mats. Owners do not realize that matted hair means its painful for the dog to walk, sit, stretch, and be groomed. Its not just neglected hair, but painful skin that occurs. Owners take note. and do not get a dog you cannot maintain with brushing.
Does this blade get really hot? I had an Oster one and it burned my dog & my hand
What chears are best for maltipoo? Thanks
That is one matted dog.
If it where me, I would have done a wet shave, and tried to shave a little more coat. But wonderful job!
Your are amazing!
What a handsome boy 😭😭
Awesome job
What was the powder used in the ears?
I can't believe how matted this dog was. Zipper appeared neglected. When was his last grooming? I hope you reached out to the owner with some concerns. He had to feel so much better. Caring for a maltipoo takes lots of grooming time....maybe 20-30 minutes a day. Their hair grows really fast.
His HAIR appeared neglected. While that is sad, he appeared otherwise well-nourished, bright, happy & good-natured ... Zipper's owner may have had an accident since his last grooming, or may like myself may have a chronic, debilitating illness, leaving them physically unable to carry out those duties for a while ... When these things happen, ppl don't just appear at ur door offering to help & if u gave up ur dog, ppl would criticise u for that too ... It's easy to be judgemental of others, kindness costs nothing ...
How much would it cost that work being how much you did Zipper there? My sister dumped her dog on me and the poor guys hella matted
This is in response to Sadie. Take them to a veterinarian that both cleans teeth and grooms. I don't know how dire your situation is, but find a vet that will do both. Ask them to sedate your dog clean its teeth and groom it. They have to sedate them anyway to scrape the plaque off their teeth and check their teeth. After that its dog training time. Maybe the Vet might know a good trainer to help you.
I want to ask what kind of haircut machine u used because i have a Maltipoo and she is bad on Matts im always using clippers to cut them out but she very curly im getting tried brushing her, it sad to see her so Matted any suggestions
Curly should not make much difference. I do think good clippers are important. I use Andis but the thing is to buy ones for a professional groomer . I spend 150 + _ try groomerschoice.com But your problem might be your blade blades need to be sharpend they get dull and if you cut a damp dog they will get very dull.
Cupkvp, use a comb on your Maltipoo's hair. After you clip her/his hair only use a comb & not a brush. Brushes are used on dogs with fur, and Maltipoo's have hair just like us. :)
I am loss as to what you are referring to. On a
maltipoo. I use both a brush and comb. A comb is useful when it's long and/ or matted. A well brushed dog will most likely not need a comb. If the dog has long hair a brush can just go over the top and you can miss so of the matts. So for a long haired bog I do recommend a comb to make sure I not missing any marts that are close to the skin. Hope this helped

Hi Sharon,
When my son & I took his Maltipoo to the groomer she said not to use a brush on a dog with hair, but to comb them. So, we thought that we were just doing the right thing.
Thanks for your words of wisdom. :)
hay any one how much is to get the dog groomer
Princess Beach For my dog it was like 9 dollars. But we got a discount on the haircut because the guy is my Dad's friend.
It depends if your Maltipoo is more Poodle or more Maltese.
Princess Beach mine is 70 to 100 bucks for maltipoo
I thought you were supposed to thoroughly comb them out before you cut???
Nice
Sweet lady!!!
I must congratulate you on filming Zipper's grooming. He was terribly matted with long hair; shame on the owners, nice of you to take it in stride. That poor pup needed a nap after all that! You are patient and not mean to the pup at all. I hope not all your grooms are as difficult as this poor guy. MALTESE OWNERS; see what happens if you don't take care of your pups? If they're too much trouble or it's too expensive, just get them shaved down to a short cut a few times a year; easier on all that way.
Does anybody have any suggestions if your malti poo is really aggressive when you try to cut him? It's gotten to the point that the groomers won't do it. I know how to but he growls and snaps at me, he has actually bit me a few times. So any suggestion would be very helpful!
To add on to that we actually took him to the groomers, she shaved half of his back, he snapped at her so she called us and told us she couldn't do it and gave us a half shaven dog back.
I groom my own dogs and my dog is the same way (except he doesn't snap or bite, he just gets extreme anxiety and doesn't let me do a thing because he cowars). My dog is naturally a very anxious little dog (also a maltipoo). I give him 1/4 of an anti stress med for dogs that the vet gave me to make it easier on him when grooming. It makes him more relaxed and wears completely off in a couple hours. If you don't like the idea of giving your dog a medication, try a natural stress reliever for pets (they come in the appearance of a treat). You can usually get them at the vet or online. Because they're natural, you can double up on them if need be.
amazing i love this, poor dog
where is she located?
Does the owner ever brush Zipper? Good Lord what matts. I think he did great with all the work it required to get them all out. You did a wonderful job and are very kind to the dog.
Shame on the owner!
How dare his owners let him get that matted
The lady did an awesome job I enjoyed watching her
