I have simplified the dog grooming clipping techniques and you will never produce unsightly clipper work again if you follow my instructions.
Methods such as:
- Roll the skin in front of the clipper blade
- Hold the skin taught in areas where the skin is loose on the dog
- Scoop the clipper off the dog like an airplane taking off a runway

• how to use a dog grooming clipper and what type of clipper should you use?
• where to get your dog grooming clipper?
• what blades can you use and how to choose them?
• what if your dog grooming clipper does not cut the hair?
• how to unpack your clipper blade with hair and why you need to do this?
• why do metal dog clipper blades will get hot on all detachable blade clippers?
This happens because the blades are made of metal and metal is a conductor of heat. The blade moves very fast in order to cut the hair.
• how to cool the blade and continue your clipper work
(You can burn a dog's skin with a hot clipper blade)
Clipping on low speed will slow down how quickly your blades get hot.
• how much pressure should you put on the clipper?

Need Help learning to groom your dog as a beginner? I have a Basic dog grooming course available to purchase, designed to instruct the VERY BEGINNER. Here is a link to it if you are looking to transform your struggles with basic dog grooming. 👉 amyleighgogroomer.podia.com/basic-dog-grooming-course-comfort-trim-for-your-furry-friend/buy
I want to take the course but do I need to purchase all the items before the course? If so which items should I start with?
@@cloudnine639 you do not have to purchase anything. The course is not a certification course. It is an intro to grooming class.
I wanted to buy the wahl km10 2-speed clipper unfortunately is sold out. I’m not trying to start a grooming business I just want to learn how to groom my 2 mini schnauzer. Grooming went up due to inflation 😣. Will continue to take my doggies to get groomed until the Wahl clippers are available. After I get my clippers will for sure take your course. If you have any suggestions for other clippers please let me know.
Thank you for the video. I have two Sealyham terriers and a Westie. My wife use to groom them, we have a "grooming room" and all kinds of grooming stuff. Sadly she became ill and passed away 7 months ago. Since I have all the stuff, I have been trying to learn to groom my babies myself, your videos have helped tremendously. I've done a few sanitary cuts, and now one regular cut on my male Sealyham, all I can say is thank goodness dogs don't care what they look like, but he does have a shorter coat, and is not bleeding anywhere. Thanks again for the videos, you are a lifesaver. 'Cept your dogs hold still, mine are moving targets. -dave
They improve with every groom just as we do💖
So sorry for your loss. God bless you and your doggies. 😢 ✝️
@@catrinahartz944does every workplace look like a dungeon, where you get a man lingering over you like an insidious slug talking a different language and hounded by his boot camp of bits? I’m trying to learn how to increase my self-value and salary by utilising envy, immorality and selfishness, have you got any tips for not dying under vampiric projecting bockers on a superior wedge?
This is where I struggle, the clippers don’t pick up the hair, I am sure it’s my technique and not the equipment.
I can’t believe I am walking my poodles at 3am! Thankyou for the guidance
My pleasure to help 💕
I have a Ratcha who has had very bad experiences with groomers to the point where he'll pee as soon was we enter the groomers. I bought a PalFur vaccumm which brings an electric clipper and grooming brushes but I've never used a clipper before. His hair is kinda long and has become both messy and a bother for him . This video helped with my anxiety and I think I can atleast trim his hair with the clipper. Thank you!
Brilliant 🤩
You are so pretty and smart you have no idea how much your videos have helped me!!
Awe Linda, you are so kind and I appreciate it💕
Great stuff.
Brilliant video and info. Thank you
Thank you sooooo much for this video! 😘
Thank you for this video
Thank you for guidance on the proper way to groom our doggies with safety & style.
I have a black & tan terrier mix who dislikes grooming, especially her face. I’m slowly trying to expose her to it, but any suggestions are appreciated! 🐕🦴
Thank you so much for this video I have watched many poodle grooming videos which talk about pattern clipper blades Combs and seemingly everything under the sun however none of them have talked about how to hold the Clippers against the dog or how much pressure is needed. I searched videos and books for this information to no avail. This to me was key to a good clip especially clipping a poodle. Your video was so informative and the camera work so good that we could actually see what was being taught. Thank you so much for perceiving the needs of new groomers who want to do it right.
Yes!!! That is my goal. To help you truly understand how it’s done with successful results. 💖
I am a assitent groomer and i groom to i keep going every chance i get to go back and see everything again about the haircuting and evrything so if i forgot something our i dont rember somthing watching your video can help me alot and teach me more about grooming a dogs and about situations.

Really helpful and well-presented information about grooming - and the background music was so fun!

Awesome Thank you
Thanks for the tips..
I so glad I found your channel
It's very helpful
Thank you for your videos, I learn so much you are a joy to watch
Thank you so much for some really good advice about blades and guards.
Very informative thank you
Is the snap on comb sizing the same as blade sizing? i.e., 3 longer than 5 etc.? Thank you for this very helpful tutorial.
Thank you. All of your videos have been super helpful. I have been grooming, my golden retrievers, and my golden doodle by myself for years now. Your videos have made it easier for me.

@@GoGroomer can you recommend a vacuum attachment for this wahl km10? I feel like I have to stop so often to clean out the hair...and also the sweeping.. would love to have a vacuum attachment like you do in a different video!

Absolutely!!! 💖
This is the first video I've seen of you and I just want to say, you are Adorable! Very knowledgeable and fun to watch as well! Thank you for helping! Im actually a hairstylist but grooming my dog is definitely different than humans😂
I got him cleaned and new clippers I have to try again
This was the most educational and informative video on grooming I have watched. Thank you for sharing your honest opinions and why. I have a very sensitive Japanese Chin. I also have high anxiety senior Dachshund who has had bad experiences at a groomer and has to be put on doggy downers. I would like to be able to do the maintenance at home. Then you again for sharing!
Glad to help 💖
Gracias Amy 🎉

Thank you for your video! My local groomers are backed up months to a year, and I've been having to shave my dog for a few years.
Glad it was helpful!
I've been looking for all kinds of info on clippers the proper blades for the best and safest cuts you are the only one I found thank you do much and if I order anything it will be from you.
Glad I could help
Your videos are very good at giving product and animal info, I have been working in a customer service company that sells grooming products. All this information is good to know to pass on to the customers to help them with buying products. I am very thankful to have found your page :)
Fantastic! 💕
That small black and white dog looks exactly like my Havaneese, Charlie.😊
if a 7 blade is shorter than a 5, wouldn't a 30 blade be shorter than a 10? if I heard that correctly, you said that the higher the number, the shorter the clip, but then earlier you said that a 10 blade would give new meaning to a "shave down". Just wanted clarification.
Yes, 30 is shorter than a 10. 10 blade is to short to shave a dog is my reference.
If you look at the part of the video where she shaves the tummy and sanitary areas, that’s how short a 10 would be. Almost no hair. A 30 would be even less hair than that, basically skin. Higher than that is for surgery prep. She was saying that a 10 is so short that it can damage the hair follicles and cause ingrown hairs, that could mean a trip to the vet. 10-30 is good for under the comb attachments though. I’m only commenting based on what was presented in the video, and very limited experience. I’ve learned a lot from this video too!
Great video. Where can I find the chart you mentioned?
Thank you, i have learned a lot from you, from Philippines ❤😊😊
Glad to help 💖
🥰🥰🥰
Do you have a video about your clipper vac system?
I would love it if you would do a video about clipping the face, particularly around the eyes. I have a standard poodle and I'm about to start grooming him, if I can, as my groomer is retiring. I am afraid of hurting his eyes. I LOVE your videos! Thank you!
I’ll do my best:)
I have been looking for the clippers you use KM10 I keep bumping to out of stock. Any suggestions? Or are they not making them ? Thank you for your videos❤
I see you have a vac attachment on your clipper. Where can we get that and which clipper does it fit? Thanks!
Every time I take my aussie doodle in to get groomed, they shave him down entirely and he's unrecognizable. I like him fluffy. He's brushed and not matted but they say his hair is too thick. What do you suggest for a longer hair dog other than scissors and are the vacuum clippers good quality? He's a larger doodle. Thank you😊
Thank you for the demo. My Wahl KM 10 (corded) only came with a 10 blade, and no other blades, combs, or attachments. I was reading the comment below about 10 being the limit for shortness, and you responding about the 7, but I don't know what else to use - as the 10 is all that came with this clipper. Thanks again.
A 10 blade is the only blade that comes with any detachable clipper. You have to purchase the other blade sizes you prefer separately. I do not clip a dogs, body and legs with a 10 blade unless they are severely matted. It’s too short. The shortest i go is a 7 blade..
Guard combs and blades can be purchased at groomerschoice.com.
@@GoGroomer It is kind of too late- I clipped her last night and this morning. For the most part I just skimmed her on the outside to not cut it too short but I have a couple of "bald spots" where my hand slipped and some longer clumps and sections, BUT AT LEAST,, she is clean, and the hair has been shortened so that it will not get so matted. I will purchase the number 7. My groomer I think used to use a 4, but I'm not sure. I just bought your clipper guide and am going to start grooming my standard poodle myself. What do you recommend- I like her a little fluffy. I don't mind doing this every 6 weeks to keep it from getting too matted. Thank you for all your input. Over the next 6 weeks, while her bald spots grow out, I'll watch your videos. Hopefully next time, I ;ll do a less awful job.
I wish you would have watched my videos prior to purchasing a clipper without understanding how to give a dog a hair cut. I have worked very hard on these videos to give a clear understanding of proper steps to safely groom a dog.
You can recover and start fresh. 💖
So if I have only a 10 blade will my guards that come with it work until new blade can be purchased
When you were removing your comb did I spot a vacuum attachment?? Had one for our human clippers and it was great for pulling long hair up to cut and also to keep the mess down. If so where do you get one? I have an Andis UltraSpeed 2 speed clipper and would love to find something like that. Also loving your how to format and taking the time to show & explain all of the details
Yes, I have a Hanvey hair back system.
My shiloh shepherds are have 2 coats. I'll do your shampoos and conditioner method to help shed, but there are still mats that need to be clipped with my clippers. They get stuck on the mats. My Sr dog spends most of the day laying down. This has formed huge solid hair mats. But the clippers get stuck on the big balled mats.. idk what to do. Maybe stronger clippers? ugh....he's 12 years old and isn't loving my poking at him but he will feel so much better once they're gone.
I have an Andis 5 speed and the same guards you showed. What guard no. On the body Are you using on this dog? What no. On the head?
Also, how you buzz near the nipple area. I'm not going to groom my dog until I know as much as possible. I love her to much. I was going to try to go to a school in Hastings MN but I'm on SSDI and 62 and they want a LOT of money and I get that, but I can't afford to do it nor pay a groomer. I've spent a quite a bit on buzzers and guards. I'm just worried about elbows, nipples. I've groomed before with cheap buzzers and NEVER again.
I need a link for the Guard Combs that are compatible with the WAHL clippers used in this video! 😦

What size clipper clipper
are you using
Hi! I read your chart on which blade sizes to use for Lhasa. But my clippers don't offer that size. It has one blade and 4 guard sizes. The guard sizes are 3, 6, 9, 12 mm. The clippers themselves have a blade with an adjustable switch that has 0.8, 1.1, 1.4, 1.7, 2.0mm. I have my lhasa short hair on body. And cleaned up on face. But I'm letting his pony tail grow, so that has never been cut. I just put a ponytail. This will be my first time grooming. He has been groomed once professionally. I have really studied your videos. And I'm sure I can do it. It's just the blade and guards I'm not too sure of.
My dog is also a lhasa and I'm learning to cut her hair with the shaver
Hi Amy, it's MARI 😊💛, I have to say that I have groomed dogs with the 10 blade Andis, which is 1.5 mm, but I always tell the costumers it's the limit of shortness and that they will have to warm their dog if with a sweater it gets cold. I have used it when the dog comes in a terrible status and you can't even brush them. Now I feel a little guilty 🥺, but sometimes the owners really ask for it, and by now my dog clients haven't had any issues. But as you say, I use the most the 7FC in my case, but now that it's summer here (Chile 🇨🇱) I've been asked a lot for shorter haircut, and I'm using the 10W Wahl (1.8mm).
I'd like to know what do you think about what I'm telling you. You help me a lot and I know you always say the truth. 😊💛🇨🇱
I really appreciate your honesty and you are letting your clients tell you how to perform your job. You are the professional and should advise them that a 7F blade is the safer choice for a short trim. It’s still short but will not damage the hair follicle which could result in blocked follicles that will require a trip to the vet. Therefore you are saving them money and looking out for the best interest of their pet 💕
Hi,
Im new to grooming and have inherited my late mothers Shitzu.
Could you recommend a set up that would keep Jenny with length on her coat? We hate it when she looks too short.
Many videos on my channel to help you.
is there an attachment for a longer coat up to 1.5 -2 inch?
Yes. Try fresh shears or oster.
Can you use Wahl clipper snap on combs on an Oster 2 speed clipper? Thank you
You sure can. As long as the clipper uses detachable blades, they are universal.
@@GoGroomer Thank you. I like your channel and I'm going to start clipping my 3 springers. My groomer is soooo.. busy as of lately.
Amy can you please tell me what kind of tub you use and where do you get the holders you have clipped on the tub, thankyou

Thankyou😊
Pup looks Beautiful ❤️
I have a question though
I remeber you saying 7 blade was in your opinion too short to clip a dog. What is the situation that calls for 7 on the body?
Schnauzer or spaniel pattern sets. Summer trim, or matted dog:)
@@GoGroomer ty I'll put it in my notes :)
One question: I had heard that if you are using snap-on combs, you should use a 30 blade for a better result. Is that not your experience? I've been using the 30 with snap-on combs over it, but should I switch to a 10 instead?
30 is fine I use either and great results.
@@GoGroomer Oh, good, I just got a new Wahl 30 regular blade and a new 10 competition series, so I'll try them both. I had been using my older Andis 30, and was okay, but after using it for so long, maybe getting a little dull. I now have 3 dogs -- all rescues, and two of them are not big fans of grooming. LOL Also, thank you SO MUCH for so generously sharing all the fantastic info on your channel! I love watching your videos. I wish you were closer to Massachusetts.
I bought the Wahl clipper you recommended but my problem is i cant find combs that fit them.
You need to watch my videos. I have covered all that and more.
I just buzz my dog like he’s about to join basic training
Sometimes that is the best choice.
@@GoGroomer but does 'buzzing', which I assume to mean you are basically trimming down to skin, work for any dog? Idk much about this stuff, but I've heard about undercoats and overcoats and how just no guard buzzing can damage future growth of an undercoat. Any truth to that?
Would you buy the 2 year guarantee
Thru Amazon for the clippers?
Do you buy the Combs separate ?
How much is it to have a blade
Sharpen ?
I've just been using scissors on

All new wahl km clippers come with a 5 year warranty. I send my blades to kenchii.com for sharpening. The dew claws are no different for me to trim. I use my other fingers to push the dew claw away from the digit so I can trim it. Thanks for the love 😊💕
Hello I am from RSA I am interested in the sprie which is a conditioner where can I get it for sale Herta Hoon
I am starting dog groomer- working on having best tools.... so I can open my shop at home ... Black Friday it’s coming.... I have Wahll 5in1clipper now... I want to buy KM Wahll clipper do I should buy cordless???? Or what you have in video ... Do cordless clipper working good with vacuum clipper to?
That’s exciting! Either the wahl km or km10 can be adapted for the hair vac system. It’s your preference as to whether you want a cordless or a corded clipper.
Who can give me advice to get a vacuum to attach to my Wahl km10 for home groomer. Is it an attachment for my vacuum or is it a whole new vacuum system I need to buy?
I know not to use human clippers on a dog, but any reason I can't use a dog trimmer on myself? Been clipping my own hair for more than 25 years. Looking to buy one really nice clipper for the both of us instead of 2 mediocre ones. My boy Marley is a shih-tzu. Oh, and I also groom my girlfriends pom, Chester (I call him Uncle fester 🙂).
Well, if you get the kenchii flash5 with guard combs optional, you could do both dog and human.
From personal experience, we recently found out the clippers my dad used on us when we were kids were the same clippers he used on his Poodle and Samoyed from when he was younger. Not sure if this is helpful but I wanted to share my story haha.
I LOVE this dog, do you know what breed it is?
The large grey and white one
What clipper blade size was used in this video?? Thank you for the info, but the blade length is super important. This video is only half helpful without that.
3/8” guard comb attachment over a 10 blade.
Will #10 be good for a curly labradoodle? Mine is the tall type 70 pound.
Please watch the video, she recommends to not use a #10 on the body, the shortest she uses is a 7 blade. A matted shavedown is a different scenario. Also she has in her dropdown menu a link to the Andis grooming chart which has excellent recommendations for blades for a number of dogs and a description of individual blades.
Hope this helps you.
A 10 blade is not adequate-too short can cause clogged and blocked hair follicles.
Nothing shorter than a 7F on the body is my rule.
@@dottyk1637 you are awesome!!!! 😊
@@GoGroomer and I'm not even a groomer🤣 just trying to help out
Just bought Andis 24820 easy clip w/detachable ceramic blade. I have never attempted to use clippers. I get my toy poodle cut at a 7 at the groomers. Will the Whal stainless steel attachment guide combs work on the Andis? Also I don’t know what number to purchase. PLEASE HELP!!! I sure would appreciate it! With this dog virus going around I am not taking her for grooms. So I need to try doing this myself. Thanks!!!!!!!
Yes, they work with a 10,15, or 30 blade under the guard combs, try a 1/4” comb.
@@GoGroomer THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH for getting back with me so fast! I sure do appreciate it! I will try it.
Would You Recommend A #7 Blade For A Yorkie ?
It is execrable but I feel it is too short for a Yorkie. They have a thin (not dense) coat. I like a little more length to protect the skin for a Yorkie. 🤗
@@GoGroomer
Sounds good so a 10?
Or higher?
@@vickiwittmeyer4438 No, a 10 would leave it even shorter. Remember--the higher the blade number, the shorter the hair will be. So a 10 blade will leave the hair shorter than a 7.
