HOW does that dog sit so patiently and beautifully for all of that fussing and hair pulling?!?!?!?! My tender skinned border collie will barely let me go through him with a wide tooth comb after a couple hair pulls on mats in his coat! I guess this mom is just a wimp, lol.
Unless matted or rolled in something bad , collies very rarely need bathing and grooming Our collie is 3 and has had maybe 6 baths most from rolling in fox poop And beach visit or rainy walks is all he needs (smooth/shorthair collie)
All dogs shouldn’t be bathed very often as it ruins the natural oils in the coat. Short coats are so much easier to maintain than longer coated Collies, they basically maintain themselves, you made the right choice 😂
probably one of the best grooming vids I've seen, would have been more helpful to be able to explain the scissors and where and what you were doing. Was still very helpful and the pup looked gorgeous at the end. Great job!
I have a border collie IDENTICAL to this one. I need a metal grooming tool like the one you use to pull thru his long hair to get out loose hair. Shiny chrome, 3-4 prongs, very lightweight, with curbed teeth. If you could give me the name of the tool I can go with that. Thank you!
Wow! what a patient dog. Can you kindly share the list of tools used. Mostly interested the tool used for the undercoat. I was using a Furminator and my Border Collie hates it. Thank you.
Yep all dogs get two shampoos as I find just one doesn’t make the coat super clean, which is what you need to leave a good finish! Banish is a company specialising in dematting/high conditioning sprays, shampoos and conditioners. The best products I’ve found for loosening any matts!
He’s lovely isn’t he! That’s just the colour of the fur sadly. You can thin the hair slightly to try and reduce the look but not much you can do about it unfortunately! It’s definitely very annoying! 😄
Where did you get that bottle you are using for shampoo/conditioner dispersion? I’m assuming it is product diluted with water to save product from waste? Thanks!
Just wondering if you could do a video on confirmation on young dogs or even on an older dog if you could show us the strong points in the weak points of the front and also the rear end and back of the Border Collie thank you
@@gofetchgrooming you know I could’ve made a mistake myself do you have Border Collie’s or do you groom all types of dogs and don’t have Border Collie’s
You have no idea how close minded you are, really.. Mine found me, and I was a cat person forever. She's paid for and loves her farm/beach life. Didn't know how lucky i was either. Had no idea, she's the best friend Ive ever had.
I have a Brusky, Border Collie Husky mix, She was a rez dog and I am her second owner. We go for long off leash walks, she keeps an eye on everyone on the street and I know that I will never have an intruder without being warned by her! She has a good life and She has been the best friend I have. She is full of love and fun!. It would be interesting to see her around sheep! I love her more than I ever thought I would. What a privilege to share life with my sweetie :D
My border collies job is to take care of me as much as i take care of her and i don’t think she has any complaints. We are at each others side 24/7 and i don’t think either of us would choose anything different. She is the smartest animal I’ve ever met and to reduce a breed to only what they are “bred for” disregards the dynamic range of traits and abilities different breeds have. Would you feel the same about any huskies that are not trained to pull sleds?
@@madelinewilliams2094 If you haven't lived with Border Collies in their natural environment, doing the job they are bred for, you wouldn't know the difference.
That dogs hair was far too long even after the groom. Such a shame to leave this way. It needed taken right back. Its for practicality not a fashion statement
Thank you 😊 Equipment used: Oscar Frank Firm Slicker Brush Metal Comb Roseline Thinning Shears (to thin out matting around bum) 30 blade for pads 10 blade for hygiene area Heiniger Saphir Clippers The Banish detangle spray is brilliant, you spray it over the matts and tease the knots out with a slicker brush then comb. If you have a blaster (dryer) then blasting the detangle spray through the coat before brushing can help too. If the coat is truly pelted to the skin and the steps before don’t work then you’ll have no option but to shave back and start again unfortunately ☹️

Haha! He’s super good isn’t he! 😆
Dwaa what a well behaved doggo ❤ he is pretty and adorable.
Awesome vid, turned out great at the end. And what a good boy Bobby is 🥰 My Mickey on the other hand will fight me to the death when I groom him 😂😂
We love that you help Dogs! Parker doesn’t care for baths so we try to wash Parker’s face last and he seems to appreciate it! 💖
What a well trained dog! Sat perfectly still!
Super good isn’t he!!

Pretty dog. Who knew that this breed had so much fur? 😱
Crazy isn’t it! 😄
Its weird every brush vanishes after my sons collie sees it
My border collie is so hard to wash with that water repellant coat, getting the shampoo to adhere and lather properly takes a ton of work.
It is very difficult!!
Border collies don't need a wash. It's not heathy

It’s a Coat King 😊🐾

The tools for the undercoat are a Groom Professional Rake and a Coat King 😊
@@gofetchgrooming thank you 🙏🏼
Awesome!! Did you wash her twice with shampoo? If so, do you normally do that with all dogs? And what is Banish?
Yep all dogs get two shampoos as I find just one doesn’t make the coat super clean, which is what you need to leave a good finish! Banish is a company specialising in dematting/high conditioning sprays, shampoos and conditioners. The best products I’ve found for loosening any matts!
Bobby is a great dog! Thanks for all the tips. Is there any way to get rid of the red in his pants/tail? Our BC has the same and it drives me crazy
He’s lovely isn’t he! That’s just the colour of the fur sadly. You can thin the hair slightly to try and reduce the look but not much you can do about it unfortunately! It’s definitely very annoying! 😄
Those ears
Where did you get that bottle you are using for shampoo/conditioner dispersion? I’m assuming it is product diluted with water to save product from waste? Thanks!
It’s from Christie’s Direct. Most grooming supplies stores sell them though 😊 Yep that’s right!
Where did you get the sheet to keep the dog just on one half of the table?
Groomers world 😊
Have you ever used Cowboy Magic shine and detangler ?
Ooh no I’ve not, I’ve only ever used Banish!
Could you please tell me which " rake " tool you used for the undercoat . Thanks.
It’s a Coat King 😊
Just wondering if you could do a video on confirmation on young dogs or even on an older dog if you could show us the strong points in the weak points of the front and also the rear end and back of the Border Collie thank you
Will try and do this in the future 😊
@@gofetchgrooming you know I could’ve made a mistake myself do you have Border Collie’s or do you groom all types of dogs and don’t have Border Collie’s
I don’t have a Border Collie myself, I groom all breed’s of dog 😊🐾
@@gofetchgrooming OK I’m sorry I asked the wrong question at the wrong channel
Hi, what type of scissors were you using on the matts?
Roseline Thinning scissors 😊
@@gofetchgrooming Thank you! Looks a good way to get the matt out. Thanks for the tip.
What kind of brush is that?
It's an Oscar Frank Original Slicker brush. I got mine from Wow Grooming :)
Please lose that awful, ghastly music
Sorry to say, but I agree, music is horrible. However, i love the video and your work is 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I feel very sorry for Border Collies who are bought as pets, they don't get the chance to fulfil their purpose at all.
