I checked this book ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxSw1k29V8f0aNwyGI6qRGYJc3E4Y4Eoxy out at the library - read it cover to cover - and then decided to purchase it, so i can refer to it as needed. This provides additional ways to train in addition to the two obedience classes my sicx month old belgian malinois has already attended. Despite having dogs my whole life, i have been voraiciously reading dog training and psychology books lately given my little "maligator" has a mind of her own (extremely smart but obstinate) , and this one ranks among the best.
Update on Ace - I have gotten him involved in playing some of the games ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxECnmSvBSv_NGWx4_ChD73pF3NYZwI2F3 and I can see a difference in his confidence already! My other dog played along and he became intrigued - now its a daily part of our routine - about 3 times a day we do the shell game and the muffin tin game. I am so grateful for coming upon your training techniques!
I've watched this video so many times and it's really helped me understand how to groom my Golden myself so I don't have to spend a fortune going to groomers all the time.
I've watched this video several times and really appreciate these grooming skills. Goldens should be groomed to their natural look and not shaved. Great tips!
This Golden was great. The ones I have had to deal with LOVE TO SIT. Not as cooperative. Thank you for this. I am new to grooming and find I struggle with these kind of dogs.
My English creme golden always sits. She just turned 4 on Halloween. I got her as a puppy from Make a wish. She's my service dog. But she also has major skin problems and allergies so we have to do baths 2x a week. Literally have to stick my left arm under her belly and lock that hand to the other side of the tub so the weight is held as she tries to sit. She is overweight, we're working on it. But being as weak as I am it's difficult in baths. A little bribe of peanut butter sometimes gets that butt up. My sweet Goldie had to be put down this September. I had her since I was 9, she lived to 11. She used to be my practice pup!! Dove goes everywhere with me, so I figured since Goldie was just a pet nobody would see and sweet girl wouldn't be ashamed at my mistakes 😂 Chloe, I understand where you're coming from. But if they sit, you can't wash that part of their skin completely. Dogs can sit during a bath, they just have to do so in small amounts of time.
Thank you, Chris, this demonstration was very helpful. I am not a groomer, but my golden is experiencing health issues and going to the groomer is just too stressful for her right now, and I needed a few tips to tidy her up a bit. Very clear directions.
I agree with Anna! This is the first Golden Retriever grooming video I've watched that didn't horrify me by the way the groomer handled the dog! Very helpful tips that I'm anxious to try on my precious Golden. Thank you!
So wonderful watching this- we have two delicious Goldens on the Outer Banks of NC and they swim constantly- so we are rinsing and bathing so much. We have a grooming van that visits us fairly often and she does summer cuts for the hot weather and swimming and a cut very similar to the one you just showed us. Thank you so much for the video- it was lovely!!! Peg, Maisy
Thanks Chris. I've been grooming for 4 years now in Copenhagen, mainly Cotons, Bichons, Westies etc, and I had to do my first Golden Retriever this morning. Your video was a huge help. I watched it twice and was consequently able to really do a great job on Valde, a big three year old. Your tutorial was extremely precise, informative and relevent and my client was extremely happy with the result too. Thanks very much again. Niels
Yes! This is the kind of grooming and information that is important for the right breed and coat. Too many shave these coats and with that goes the whiskers. Coat and whiskers have an important purpose! So many don't take the short time to research this and ignorantly comment to support the bad groomers or mistakes they've made themselves.
What a beautiful job you did on this dog! You made it look so easy, but I know it takes lots of skill. I don't have a show dog, yet my dog's parents were show dogs. I love how you give the reasons not to use clippers or those undercoat combs, etc. I learned a lot from this video and I will be sure to take care of my dog's coat with your tips.
I just absolutely love the golden retriever dogs. They have a wonderful sunny disposition. One day I will finally get one after many years ....However this time round it will be a guide dog for my hearing loss & will go absolutely everywhere with me even on a plane overseas. Janine Rhodes my dog will go absolutely everywhere with me even on a plane overseas
What an amazing video! Thank you so much for sharing. I am not a professional but my Goldie looks 10 years younger and much smarter by following your tips 👌 just wish he stood still like this gorgeous lady 😍
@@jaymeshooper3855 oh damn how things change in 8 months lol...we were not able to get a puppy sadly because we didn't have enough time or money but we actually met a guy who needed help with his golden retriever since he couldn't take care of it when he worked outside of the city and so we keep her for about a week or two every month,her name's Balou and she's wonderful
Great Video I love Golden Retrievers Gemma is my 2nd one My 1st Golden Jodie was 13 when she died. My now Golden is nearly 11 years and your video has taught me a lot about grooming needless to say I have been doing it all wrong I was pulling the fur from beneath her paws and cutting the fur she hated it and would pull away but now you have shown me how to do it. among other things. did not know they had a double coat etc And the groomer with metal comb that you mentioned and said not to use. I have been using but no more so thank you.
Great Video! Great looking and a well-behaved dog:-) The goldens we get in are way more hairy and thick, lol, like shepherd or husky grade! Between our thinning shears, slicker brush, and undercoat rake (paws pamper undercoat rake) they always come out 2 lbs lighter!
Oh my god this video is PERFECT! I just bought scissors and such because I want to start grooming my dog myself but wasn’t too sure what to do where and how - and what each scissor was for. But this just got it all covered - love it. Thanks so much for posting such a good vid #appreciated
I love this. You do such a beautiful job. I wish more professional Groomers would take note. From what I hear, especially in the USA!! When ever I have had to find a Groomer I always ask how they do it and the first mention of clippers I'm off! There seems to be a current trend of clipping their coat off completely. A so called professional that does this should be ashamed of themselves!!
Great video. Found it hard to hear him and I agree would be nice to know what tools. I am struggling to find somebody to groom my 11 year old golden that is kind and gentle so I do as much as I can myself. One groomer left my dog very nervous of going again.
I have two goldens and this guide is so helpful. I wonder if grooming the male golden retriever is different than female golden tho? Since their hair length differs very much I was wondering if you can make a male golden retriever grooming guide as well for show ring, thank you!
Why does the fact she's spade give her more trouser? I hope to get as confident as you appear with more practice grooming my Jack. Thanks for the video... very informative!
Very helpful as to how to cut & why not to cut too short. I had heard you shouldn't cut to just trim & didn't believe it so very greatful for that info too. However, around anis so she doesn't swallow too much hair & inside ear to keep mites away can it be cut shorter. Last of all were those scissors special so as not to cut dog. Thumbs up
I need to say something for those "professionals" who advise against cutting your golden´s hair. I live in Taiwan where tropical weather is hot and humid. My 8 month old puppy was every day with his tongue out, hiding in the bathroom and pretty much suffering from the heat. I gave it much though and despite some suggestions I decided to trim his hair to a 3 mm length. The results were immediate: the dog stopped hiding in the bathroom, stopped pulling out his tongue all the time (now he never does that in the house aside from when he runs or gets very excited), he is happier and even stopped scratching himself with his legs. Noting but gains and a better life to this dog. I will make sure that his hair keeps trimmed 8 months out of the year at least here in Taiwan. Maybe if you live in a cold place like where this breed comes from (Scotland) you need to not touch his hair, but in warm places you should cut his hair to relieve your dog from the heat. That long hair coat does not make your dog fresher, it makes him or her miserable in hot weathers. Get rid of it and he or she will feel like other breeds made for hot weathers feel.
On the Golden's with Ichliosis....do you recommend a shampoo or conditioner that helps lessen it? I groom one with this skin condition and she comes every two weeks and is shampooed with Sebazole which the vet gave them and I also condition her with Double K Moisture Magic. Nothing seems to help.
I have 3 goldies. When it starts raining over here in thailand our yard if you want to call it that, turns in to one big mud hole. Its extremely warm here and the dogs are just miserable their only reprieve is to sack out in a mudhole There are no professional groomers over here that I am aware of. I have tried to cut their hair. When i finished it looked like the barber of sevile had just walked out. When they get wet and the hair isnt dried properly, over a period of time they get this skin rash that takes forever to clear up, and the vets over here say it is a virsus that gets in the blood and is easy to pass from one animal to another. Are there any options?
My golden has long hair under her tummy and down her front legs. Is the tummy area ever trimmed? It almost touches the ground. She is 8 yrs old and is spayed. We have only had her for 2 years and have not been able to find a groomer that knows how to groom goldens.
I just have one question, the retriever I'm going to groom has really long fur and has gotten matted really badly, I'm assuming clippers are okay in this case? Ill probably use the longest heads first so I don't get the under coat
Try using a dematting comb with blades, it works really well! If it doesn't work then the only way is probably using clippers. The coat isn't gonna grow back normally immediately. It's going to take a couple of months for the whole coat to shed out but after that the coat should be fine. But yes, if nessesary use clippers.

I wish I could hug her. I love goldies. They look like they are smiling.
Yaa
::)
They _are_ smiling. Except when their ball is under a couch. Then their faces fall.
What a gorgeous and patient golden. Didn't care too much for the tail grabbing ... can't wag it if someone is holding it.
yep stunning golden!
can't groom it if it's wagging.
Its great to see a grooming video that caters for a particular breed traits. This video was so informative, thank you!
I've watched this video so many times and it's really helped me understand how to groom my Golden myself so I don't have to spend a fortune going to groomers all the time.
Such a gorgeous, well behaved Golden.
The tail was a work of art.
I thought that too!
very well behaved - he wasn't even using a loop with her
I've watched this video several times and really appreciate these grooming skills. Goldens should be groomed to their natural look and not shaved. Great tips!
This Golden was great. The ones I have had to deal with LOVE TO SIT. Not as cooperative. Thank you for this. I am new to grooming and find I struggle with these kind of dogs.
Sue R I want to sit when I get my hair cut too! It's so relaxing! I let my goldens sit when I groom but I am not a professional

Best Golden Grooming video on UA-cam. So many on UA-cam are people who are just hacking up the Golden's coat. Thank you for some sanity!
Your experience and great skill is so evident. What a fantastically behaved dog! I laugh when I think of my dog cooperating even one quarter as much.
I agree with Anna! This is the first Golden Retriever grooming video I've watched that didn't horrify me by the way the groomer handled the dog! Very helpful tips that I'm anxious to try on my precious Golden. Thank you!
such a well-behaved dog! And very informative video, thank you!
Best groomer I've seen,knows his stuff.

you are the best groomer by far!! other groomers that put up videos are so rough with the doggies :-(
The more hours the more pay i suppose or get paid by the dog and get them trough asap

Easy to follow tips! Thank you so much! We needed those tips for showing our Golden in 4-H.
she s so calm and gentle. lovely !
Thank you Great video. You handle her well. What a sweet dog. You make it look so easy and I know from trying to groom my Golden it's not that easy.
So glad I found this video again. This is THEE BEST and comprehensive GR grooming video. This gentlemen is on it. Thats all you need to know.

Great informational video. I didn't realize how easy it can be to trim my Golden! Thank you!
oh my goodness... she is beautiful and so well kept! i’d love to see the look on his face once he sees my red golden retriever’s coat and paws 🤣
He is so patient..... Fallen in love with the dog.
Goldens are so damn handsome and the trim is amazing.
I loved this video! Such a patient goldy. You were so gentle and a great groomer.
Brilliant! Easy for us newbies to understand and apply. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us.
going to watch this many times in prep for my golden!
Dogs love being groomed 😂😂 Great job Chris, the dog looked awesome at the end!
I'm just getting into Dog Grooming & this video was great to watch! Thanks
Great video!! Lots of good tips for grooming my own babies.❤️
Were getting a retriever next year! Can't wait.
Did you get it? How is it?
@@helloyesitsme6554 @Ryan N - did you end up getting one? What name did you give the Golden Retriever?

I should be getting a Golden soon and this is very helpful for when I'll groom it. :)
Did you get one yet???
Beautiful!! Tail looks fabulous
I learned a lot watching this. I've been doing it wrong because I've been using a rake on my golden's fur. I'll be using thinning shears from now on.
Oh my god this video is PERFECT! I just bought scissors and such because I want to start grooming my dog myself but wasn’t too sure what to do where and how - and what each scissor was for. But this just got it all covered - love it. Thanks so much for posting such a good vid #appreciated
Goldens are the best!
The goldies I groom are a lot hairier. Dealing with lots of undercoat means fluff flying everywhere xxx
Would have been nice to have a list of the tools used
He mostly just used thinners
What were those sheers? Just human sheers?
Simple and right to the point.
Thank you so much for uploaded this video... Have a good day.😍
This is the best Golden grooming video I've seen. Thanks very much. Would you mind sharing which thinning shear you are using?
Good tip on the brushes, I didn't know the things like furminators are bad for their coat.
Inspiring stuff well done.
Good Girl!
Such a nice and sweet dog 😊😃
Very helpful, thanku, really enjoyed it xx
thats a lot of work ....lots of work of love for them
Great job! Thanks! Wish you lived near me so I could bring my dog to you for grooming
I love this. You do such a beautiful job. I wish more professional Groomers would take note. From what I hear, especially in the USA!!

Aww he's so cute
Thank you for an interesting video btw
Lovely and sensible.
Amazing I love it
Nice video! My golden has a lot more hair than that dog though lol
thanks for the guide, how often do they require grooming?
good one perfect guide
glad to find you. learned some techniques to trim my oldie goldies better.
wow... a good model. and nice relationship
Great video. Found it hard to hear him and I agree would be nice to know what tools. I am struggling to find somebody to groom my 11 year old golden that is kind and gentle so I do as much as I can myself. One groomer left my dog very nervous of going again.
Look so good with her haircut
shes sucha gud girl...!!😘
so cute
Thanks sooo much excellent!
I was admiring .... very nice ...
Goldens are amazing good dogs.
Do you trim the hanging fur on the belly at all? I have a golden and her belly fur hangs down at least 3-4 inches.
I have two goldens and this guide is so helpful. I wonder if grooming the male golden retriever is different than female golden tho? Since their hair length differs very much I was wondering if you can make a male golden retriever grooming guide as well for show ring, thank you!
your the best man
Would you mind telling us what thinning shears you are using?
Great Job. :)
Why does the fact she's spade give her more trouser? I hope to get as confident as you appear with more practice grooming my Jack. Thanks for the video... very informative!
what brand shears and thinning shears do you use????

What an good boy 😢 its beautifull
What type of scissors did you use for the bum and tail and feathers?
She looks this good already great groomer here today great man great price she is show quality now!
You look great!!
May I know does anyone know if I'm going to work as a pet groomer, do I need to go for a pet trimming course or do I need to get any certificate?
i love it 😄
What kind of scissors are you using, and where can I get some?
On the Golden's with Ichliosis....do you recommend a shampoo or conditioner that helps lessen it? I groom one with this skin condition and she comes every two weeks and is shampooed with Sebazole which the vet gave them and I also condition her with Double K Moisture Magic. Nothing seems to help.
What are the scissors you used?
We have a Golden-Shepherd, but her coat is very similar to your dog in the video.

Hiii is not there a more quiet blower in the market? That sound stress the dog and me either
