Thought maybe I could groom my two new golden rescues, but after watching this, there's no way. A good groomer is worth every penny! I will now treasure our groomer as I had no idea the extent of what is involved. Thank you.
Thanks for the video! The comment watch your nose as the blade practically stabs her in the eye is comical😂
She is gorgeous! Thank you for the tips on grooming. I have a male retriever myself.
OMGoodness!! Thank you soooo much! My confidence in grooming has been restored
groomer seems so kind! cute dog as well!
Aww thank you so much!! That is very sweet of you to say. The dog (Ivey) is a sweetheart. Thanks for watching!
Exactly, you're so gentle and kind with her , its so nice to see cos I see some groomers seem very rough x
I had to do a project on grooming and this was very helpful!! Thank you!!
Hi thanks so much for watching and commenting. I’m so happy we could help with your project that’s amazing!!!❤️🐶
Awesome, kind grooming! Thank you for these great grooming tips! Now it's time to look for a groomer to help me start the process ... my golden is overdue for trims!
What a great video and what a great and kind groomer!
Awe thanks Cathy for your kind words!❤️🐶❤️
Love this!! I'm a dog groomer myself. Good tips!!
I looked into getting a Cocker Spaniel, but the grooming issues with that breed are a little more than I think I could do. But the grooming on this big gal, I think I could handle this. Thank you for showing us newbies how it's done. She looked gorgeous after her trim!
Hey thanks for watching and your positive feedback. Give it a shot and let us know how you make out!!❤️🐶❤️
Very good video on grooming the Golden Retriever. Thank you.
Hi there thanks for watching. We are happy we could help!❤️🐶❤️
Thank you for your great video, I learned a lot! Going to trim my golden boy tomorrow 😂
Very good video. Has given me more confidence at trimming our golden boy especially with the thinning shears which weren't the super expensive ones! Tend to do a lot of brushing which is the most important thing to do.
Why didn’t you use a brush during the cleaning process?
What a sweet groomer you are love how you talk to her.
Thanks for watching and your kind words!❤️🐶❤️
Ivy is such a sweet beautiful gentle Golden ! I don't have a dog, but I love these videos .
Hi thanks for watching. Yes she is such a sweetheart and a gentle soul. I’m happy you enjoy our videos.❤️🐶❤️
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Very helpful!
Thank you for watching and your positive feedback!❤️🐶❤️
you are a wonderful animal lover and protector.. Thank you for your loving video. I will try it on my Golden Cheyenne. Thank you greatly
Hi there thanks so much for watching and your lovely kind words. We appreciate your support!❤️🐶❤️
Thankyou for that video, you made it look very achievable. I live in New Zealand and have a 19month retriever. Our first dog so need all the help we can get!! I will defiantly buy some thinning shears and start to tidy my boy bit by bit. Might need to buy a good solid table so he is at eye level. Grooming costs a lot of money here so learning these skills will help keep the costs down. Thankyou and hope things are getting back to normal for you over there. We are going thru a interesting time at the moment with covid but just got to keep on going and keep smiling. Take care and stay safe :)))
Hi there thanks so much for watching and your comments. Yes all the right tools will help you and even if you can do a couple grooms at home and take him to the groomer now and again will help financially.
Things seem to be slowly getting back to normal here and I hope they do the same for you. Take care!🥰
She’s beautiful!!!
She is such a cutie!!
that is such a beautiful sweet dog
Thank you for posting!!!! This was ver informative!!!!!
Hi thanks for watching I’m happy to hear our video helped!❤️🐶❤️
Wow! That was great to watch! I will do my best to make my MissViolet as pretty as MissIvy😊
Hi there thanks so much for watching. We are happy to hear you enjoyed the video. Grooming a golden is definitely satisfying to see the finished product!
Great video. Going to save me hundreds!!
Thanks so much for watching. So happy we could help!❤️🐶❤️
Beautiful
We’ve have a Golden(our third) and I groom her myself. It’s work, but I love it. I try to stay ahead of the mats by brushing her 2 or 3 times a week. My son referred to those “pants” as her furry boxers! I really need to get some clippers. It would make the job so much easier!
Hi thanks for watching. That’s cute… furry boxers. Yes the clippers would help with the feet especially. Thinning shears also help a lot. The link is attached for the shears we used on our video. ❤️🐶❤️
Such a great video
Hi there thanks so much for watching and your positive feedback!!❤️🐶❤️
Great job!!!
Thanks for your kind words! Thanks for watching!❤️🐶❤️
OMG! I am tired just looking at 😂 I will definitely pay for grooming. I am getting a puppy Golden in few days 😊
Hi there thanks for watching haha yes it can be exhausting for sure. Good luck with your pup!❤️🐶❤️
Thank you....I have my Wheaten watch your videos. Hoping it helps him see how well behaved other dogs are during grooming ...he's a puppy...8 months, pretty wild and crazy guy. :) He does watch pretty intently for a short time...haha....
Thanks so much for watching! haha that is so cute you get your wheaten to watch our videos :) It is a great idea to start trying to get him used to grooming when he is young. Wheatens definitely have a lot of energy but spreading out the steps of the grooming especially if you are doing it at home will make it less stressful for him (and you!). If you ever have any specific questions please let us know and we are happy to help!
Great video. Ivy is beautiful
Hi Judy! Thanks so much for watching and commenting :) Yes Ivy is an absolute doll 😊
amazinggggggggggggg
CUTE
Isn’t she the cutest!❤️
It was so nice to watch a groomer that is actually kind to the pup being groomed!! My Golden hair on top of his head is getting pretty long! Would I use clippers or thinning shears in this area? Thank you for this informative video!!
Hi Caroline thanks so much for commenting and watching. As a groomer my clients dogs are like my own and I love them dearly! I would probably get thinning shears because you want the trimming to look as natural as possible and thinning shears will do that. You can also use them to thin out other areas as well. If you have any further questions please let me know I’m happy to help.
Thank you so much for your prompt reply!! Would you happen to know of any groomers in the New Jersey area with your compassion & expertise? Thank you so much!
Awesome... I've been looking for a detailed video for so long!!! Thanks for such a great video! Super helpful! I happen to have a golden just like Ivy so am trying to get the right tools so that I can finally get this figured out. Could you please give a link for the trimming scissors on Amazon you were using, not the thinning shears but the actual scissors you were using... if you could please do that, I might just give my poor golden a respectable grooming session. LOL Thank you again!
Hi there thanks for watching. The shears are actually purchased from Rens pet depot
@@FurryFriendsZone Thanks for such a quick reply! So are those 8" straight? Sorry but, I am a "newby" and looking at all of the different selections... it was overwhelming... What do I start with? Any suggestion would really help, please & thanks for taking the time! 😇
Hi, can you share what dryer your using please. Your video is the first one on grooming I’ve enjoyed and felt confident about trying. Thank!
Great video. I have a golden retriever and her pants area gets long in-between her grooming. Now I know how to trim them. She also does what you said in the beginning. She is heavy....100lbs . We are working on that. Our groomer says she has a hard time with her because she is always wanting to sit or stand. She also mentioned having to charge me quite a bit more since she has to have extra help to groom her. I figure if I can do all the the trimming/grooming, maybe she can just do the bath, dry and nail trim and maybe it won't be so costly?
Hi thanks for watching. It can get costly and your golden is a bigger size which makes the cost higher of course. If you have the right tools grooming at home is worth a shot. Putting he/she on a table will help too so grooming is at your level ❤️🐶❤️
Hi...thanks for such wonderful effort of yours. I loved it. it was so soothing to eyes to watch and Ivy is beautiful. I do own a golden pup. she is 4 months old. how often do I have to bath her? can I bath her every 2 weeks?
I always brush first..during the shampoo and conditioner..then brush after and during the drying process
Thank you so much for this. Ivy stole my heart!!
Can you recommend what to buy for trimming pads of feet? And any tips to keep the job semi-clean at home? lol
Hi Natasha! Thanks for watching and commenting. I know isn't Ivy just such a sweetheart :) I would recommend that you could get a small clipper that has a 5 in 1 blade so you can adjust the length as needed. These clippers are usually smaller and easier to manage. I don’t suggest using shears on the pads because you could cut them. Trimming between the toes you need shears but I suggest clippers for the between pads. Also when you get a smaller clipper with an adjustable blade they usually are more responsibly priced. If you have any other questions please let us know!
Thank you so much and Ivy stole my heart as well.
Hi! You mentioned buying thinning shears at Amazon that you really like. Could you please tell me what kind they are? I have a Golden.
Thanks so much!
Kitty
I stumbled across this video and I'm now inspired to groom (or at least wash) my golden. But I don't have any of the tools. Do you have any recommendation on what tools I would need to do a groom? And I'm totally ignorant of what the differences between sissors and trimmer blades. Not sure if you have a video covering tools and equipment for the non-pro
Hello! Thanks for watching and for your questions. You would need shears (scissors) to trim in between the feet. If you want a more natural look for the feathering I would also suggest using thinning shears. You will need a clipper to trim inside the pads of the feet. Also a slicker brush and if you have a good quality dryer that helps a lot to loosen the undercoat when brushing out your dog. If you have any other questions please let us know!
Can you share the name of your shampoo, ear cleaner and the spray you used in the end please? I just watched this video and loved how you trimmed Ivy. What a wonderful, gentle dog she is. I have a 3 year old golden, Teddy and having a hard time finding a groomer that is gentle and patient. I’m going to attempt doing it myself (yikes). Which means I’ll be re-watching this a few times. Thank you for sharing these instructions
Hi there thanks for watching! The shampoo I use is Best Shot ultra wash. The ear cleaner is show season ear clear. The spray is naturals green tea and ginger. I hope this video can help you and if you have any further questions I’m happy to help! Good luck!🥰🐶
Could you please share a link to the Amazon scissors you mentioned? Great video!
Thank you for your sharing on how to groom a Golden Retriever.
Hi Bill! I am so sorry I missed responding to your question. Here is a link to the shears used in the video :) amzn.to/3pvt18s
Wow!! Where or how do I get the tools and products to do this? I have two very challenging goldens who have bad anxiety going to the groomers and if I can do this at home we'd all be happier.
Hi there thanks for watching. All the tools I purchased at our local grooming supply store. If you have the right equipment it certainly makes your job much easier!❤️🐶❤️
Do you have any recommendations for a golden/border collie mix who HATES having his hind end groomed? He's terrified of the groomers, so I try to do it here at home.
How often are you supposed to groom them? And how do you know when to trim their nails?
I wish you could groom my Retriever. I groom him once a month. No dryer, though. He has a fit. 😊 TY
Hi there thanks so much for watching. Yes some dogs do not tolerate the dryer at all. If you can try and put it on a lower setting sometimes that helps. I’m not sure what dryer you are using but most have settings on them.
Usually they aren’t as bad with the body but the head is what makes them crazy. ❤️🐶❤️
I recently bought a Neakasa Pro 2 grooming kit. How do I use the clipper (two settings 1.6 and 1.2) with the attachment blades (24mm, 18mm,12mm,6mm,3mm)?
Hi thanks for watching. To be honest I’m not familiar with that clipper. Where do you live?
Which dematting brush do you use?
My Golden Retriever, Jasper is 6 months old, can I use this shampoo on him? Or can you suggest a good, sensitive skin shampoo for puppies? I had 2 Great Pyrenees before Jasper, Alex had sensitive skin and Annabelle did not. They were a job to groom because of the amount of fur but they loved to be bathed and groomed which made the job easier. I started early with them, knowing they would be extremely big and strong. They both passed away last year, Jan 2021 and June 2021, they were 11 and 11 1/2 years old. It’s sad that giants don’t live as long as other breeds, I seriously miss them, but Jasper is an amazingly smart pup, I love him so much! I never saw this video until yesterday, I want to make sure I’m grooming my Golden properly. I know all dog breeds are different, some more sensitive than others. Are Goldens more sensitive than Great Pyrenees? Thank you for your advice!
Hi Kelly thanks so much for watching. I am so sorry for your loss of your pups. It is truly one of the most difficult losses!🥰
Yes this shampoo would be fine for your puppy most shampoos will say right on the bottle if they are ok for young ones. This one is and it’s also helps with deshedding. I have used it for years and honestly maybe have had a handful of dogs that need a more
Gentle shampoo. If you find that Jasper seems to grow into sensitive skin then try a different one. Both those breeds would be treated the same as far as bathing. I find there can be sensitive skin in all breeds. Goldens tend to get hot spots a lot but they swim a lot so that contributes to it.
I hope this helps and let me know if you need further help.🥰🐶
I forgot to ask, where do you get the trimming shears and clippers from?
Hi there the link for the shears is at the bottom of the video. Thanks so much for watching!❤️🐶❤️
What temp of water do you use?
how does one get an appointment with you? I have two golden retrievers and I could really use your services!!
She just gave him the fuck me up fam
😍👌😍👌
How often do you groom a golden retriever ? And is that every shower ?
Hi thanks for watching. It really depends on how dirty and active your dog is. A clean dog is much easier to keep from matting. My customers like to get their retrieves done about every 10-12 weeks.
What kind of cologne do you use?
Hi there thanks for watching!
I use Naturals green tea and ginger. It’s my all time fav and I have been using it for years. People love it. Apparently I heard it’s being discontinued so I stocked up. If you can get yours hands on it grab it to try. You will want to eat your doggie up after you spray him/her!❤️
where do you buy the shampoo?
Hi Sandy thanks for watching. I buy the majority of my shampoos at Rens Pet Depot. They have a great selection
I asked 2 times, it keeps disappearing. Do you shave the belly?
Hi there I sometimes Do in the crotch area because it tends to get matted but I don’t have the belly I just trim but it also depends if the matting is bad under there because it’s a sensitive area so shaving could be the only choice. ❤️🐶❤️
I also have a golden named Ivy😂 difference is is sh'd make you feel bad about bathing her, and probably lick the entirety of your face before it was over
My golden is terrified of the doggie dryer sound, so I have to put ear phones on her to dry her 😢
Most groomers only know small dogs. How do you find a groomer that knows how to do Goldens?
Hi there thanks so much for watching. Tbh every groomer should know how to do a golden. They are a very common breed. You will find someone. Keep trying. With practice you could probably do it yourself. I’m happy to help!😊
Because just watching you do this makes me tired!
I appreciate the reply!
Of course it’s my pleasure!
Is the dog crying? Why?
That's whining is definitely not coming from the Golden retriever. It's probably a smaller dog in a kennel waiting for a groom and wants out.
You can be more gentle to her They get scared
“Noose”? What an unfortunate choice of words.
I dont see a difference
Do not put Witch Hazel in your pet's years or anywhere on them without checking with the vet. FFS..
good video but get your long hair out of the way!! lol
