Yes, Barkley is a great dog. The aussie that lived here last, would not have stay that calm and definitely would have cleaned your ears and gives kisses. Need to see the Aussie wiggle but too !
My Aussie Border collie mix lifts her front arms for me to get under her pits when brushing burrs out of her fur. I never trained her to do that. Lol but it helps. She does know the command, "give me your butt," when brushing her withers. She turns her butt to me.
I have an Australian Shepherd too and he acts exactly the same 😄 Always has this innocent look in his eyes, especially when I am eating. He eats anything that is edible, apples that fall from trees, strawberries in the garden, and he even eats every bug he sees 😅. Would recommend it to any upcoming dog owners, and he would never bite/hurt anyone (Except bugs).
Thanks so much for your great thorough teaching! I groom my aussie myself as she was abused & anxious with new things. It has become a nice bonding time & she has come to trust me a lot more because of it. I take my time & use lots of treats. As time has gone by I've gotten braver with how much I take off, and she's looking much better these days! haha at first she was quite a moppet. :) I also rarely do all of her in one sitting. So one day I'll do her paws, another her britches, then her bib, etc. So she's always kind of a walking work in progress, lol.
I recently rescued a severely anxious Aussie who absolutely can’t go to the groomer because of his anxiety. I’ve been slowly working him up to baths but it’s a slow process for sure. So far we’re just doing water baths with no soap so he gets use to the water. Sometimes he jumps out and tries to run away from the anxiety so I don’t want him coated in soap and refusing to get back in. This is honestly so nice to see, great tips and a hopeful look into what grooming my sweet boy will eventually look like!!
I have an extremely anxious Aussie. We got him as a puppy and he was anxious from day one. We’ve worked with him slowly and baths are much easier now. Still working on the blow dryer but he’s only 3 and he does so well. A lot of treats, a lot of patience. He still gets too anxious with the vet and groomers but he’s much better.
Such a beautiful well behaved dog. It’s almost the exact copy of our Aussie. Except ours got a bright blue eye. It’s a lot of work but it’s worth it everyday. Beautiful loyal companions 🙏🏼
ok, i just have to say Barkley is VERY well behaved. My Aussie would not put up with that much attention. I can barely get him into the tub! Very good job, groomer.
Short, simple steps and you made it look easy enough for me to show my grandkids on their Aussie. This will be our first time grooming Cole so I hope that it goes as well as Barkley’s cleanup. Thanks for this very helpful video.
Thank you for uploading - we are in the wilderness with goats and ducks and tons of melting snow and I trimmed WAY more off my show coat Aussies but used your video as a HUGE educational (trim downwards with sissors) to even out the mistakes. Thanks for the help my dogs look GREAT
My wife had an Australian Shepard for 16 years. Giving him a bath was not for the faint hearted, so that was usually my job. However, he loved being brushed by her.
This video is so helpful! I have a border collie and I need to trim up some of her fur, so this was a great guide since their shapes are very similar. I’m the same way with my pup, I want her to have that natural look, but sometimes she gets dirty and floofy!
Thanks for your well rounded grooming tips. He’s so well behaved which makes a big job easier. I recently adopted a 6 year old female Aussie. She’s so sweet. Unfortunately her previous owner didn’t groom her much. I have been using a furninator and a pin brush to get rid of a lot of the under coat. She’s been shedding like crazy but it’s a little better now. I had another Aussie a number of years ago so have some experience with it. Thanks for your tips. You do a great job
I am so glad that you are so sweet and gentle with these babys I have seen some people that are rough with them like they are only in it for the money!
He's such a patient, well behaved puppy. My Ginger is 15 months now and she's such a wiggly puppy. The last time I took her in for a grooming they said she was just too wiggly to trim her nails. She is so excited when I take her in. Your place seems like such a relaxing environment. I wish you could groom Ginger.
I have an Aussie now and have had two others... but now I really miss my first Blue Merrill (sp). Great video. For the last three Aussies I open the shower door and say, "the spa is open" and the come running to be messaged. I'll buy the things you suggested to make it even a better experience.
This is a great tutorial ! We just took our Aussie in and were shocked to see that the groomer shaved him short !!! She said that it was an Aussie puppy cut !! I’m going to rewatch this video many times and be trying to groom him ourselves in the future until we can find somebody that truly knows how to groom an Aussie… small town area so our options are limited to say the least… I hope his coat recovers …
My Aussie Daisy is so well behaved like Barkley. She is a red Merle and she is 16 yrs old. PetSmart wont groom her bc of her age. Thanks for the tips, since I have to groom her now it’s helpful l to watch someone who knows what they’re doing first. Thank you.
He’s a beautiful Merle this was also really helpful to watch I am getting an Aussie puppy soon she’s going to be born at the end of April so this month and I want to take the best care of her as I can- I also work at a dog grooming, daycare, and boarding facility and I’m looking to learn how to groom I start training on bathing soon!
This was a great video! I have a blue merle as well and I am very particular about his grooming. One groomer shaved him (which we did not ask for and would never ask for). After that his hair did grow back correctly, but I get very anxious to take him now because I never want that mix up to happen again.
I do shave my Aussie in the summer because we live on a Texas ranch where there are billions of sand burrs. If we didn't shave him (about 2" of hair) the poor thing would be covered in burrs and miserable.. By winter, when we have blizzards (Panhandle of TX) his beautiful hair has grown out again.
Thank you for this! I groom my own Ausi but It is always so hard to wash all the way to the skin, thanks for the tip with the knobby scrubber. Our trainer recommended shaving her belly in the summer, is this something that is done for Ausis? If so I would love to see how to shave that area even if it is on a different bread.
He is sooooo well behaved
Yes, Barkley is a great dog. The aussie that lived here last, would not have stay that calm and definitely would have cleaned your ears and gives kisses. Need to see the Aussie wiggle but too !
Yes, he looks to be from a high quality show-line (not working-line) breeder. My Aussie is similar. Wonderful temperament
He's smart and good boy.
You are an extremely good groomer. I wish you worked where I lived. The dog is very happy and well conditioned to having his hair done. Great Job!
He’s so good honestly! He even lifted his arm up!
My Aussie Border collie mix lifts her front arms for me to get under her pits when brushing burrs out of her fur. I never trained her to do that. Lol but it helps. She does know the command, "give me your butt," when brushing her withers. She turns her butt to me.
When he rested his head on your that was just the cutest
I know right!! So sweet
Heartwarming ❤
I love how he already knew the process so at 6:17 he gave his paw and was like "here you go."
That is one cooperative dog.
I have an Australian Shepherd too and he acts exactly the same 😄 Always has this innocent look in his eyes, especially when I am eating. He eats anything that is edible, apples that fall from trees, strawberries in the garden, and he even eats every bug he sees 😅. Would recommend it to any upcoming dog owners, and he would never bite/hurt anyone (Except bugs).
He’s such a good boy! I wish I had a Australian Shepard
Oh the joys of an aussie puppy. Can't wait until mine reached 3 yrs xD

How did you work on this? My guy is anxious as well and is scared of the clippers and scissors

Oh my gosh he’s such a sweet smart boy so well behaved!
What a beautiful well trained dog. Aussies are truly incredible
Such a beautiful well behaved dog. It’s almost the exact copy of our Aussie. Except ours got a bright blue eye. It’s a lot of work but it’s worth it everyday. Beautiful loyal companions 🙏🏼
I also call them grinch feet , but I like them though. My Golden/Collie had grinch feet and they were so cute!
She has the perfect grooming set up. I could groom my dog if I had that.
Wowwwww... You are so sweet and he's so well behaved
omggg this dog is soooo beautiful and sweet, i love how he snuggled on you while you were talking to the camera he's so adorable
He is such a good boy!! Nice vid! ❤❤❤❤
What a wonderful pup!!!!!! Your personality as a groomer is, too- makes a huge impact.
I’m so exited I’m getting an Aussie puppy today!
I got one a few weeks ago it's so exiting
I just put a deposit for my girl today I’m excited too 💕
I’m also getting my Aussieh pup next week very excited
Does your guises Aussie whine a lot
Same but I’m getting mines next week
What a beautiful dog. I love that breed.
What a Good Boy! HE IS SO ADORABLE 💕💕
Great video and love the details that were shared. Beautiful dog and so well-behaved. Thanks for posting.
I'd love to see a list of products and tools you would recommend. Great job!
Check out my latest video I go over all the tools and products I use!
ok, i just have to say Barkley is VERY well behaved. My Aussie would not put up with that much attention. I can barely get him into the tub! Very good job, groomer.
Why I wish you lived near me Central Florida area. You do such good job. thank you for sharing.
She’s good! I’ve got two. What a lovely patient puppy Barkley is!
I hope I can have a successful grooming business one day too.
He is such a sweetheart !!!!
What a good dog!
You did a great job. thanks for sharing.
He is perfect! Love his eyes and colors!!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍
Oh how beautiful! I have 2 beautiful Aussies too and I would love someone as good as you to groom them. Excellent job.
Most well behaved dog ever!
Gorgeous pup.
Short, simple steps and you made it look easy enough for me to show my grandkids on their Aussie.
This will be our first time grooming Cole so I hope that it goes as well as Barkley’s cleanup.
Thanks for this very helpful video.
8:46 ..."you're gonna do what?" lmao!
I have been watching you for a few love the way interact with you fur clients must respect
Thank you for uploading - we are in the wilderness with goats and ducks and tons of melting snow and I trimmed WAY more off my show coat Aussies but used your video as a HUGE educational (trim downwards with sissors) to even out the mistakes. Thanks for the help my dogs look GREAT
2 incredible beauties at the same spot.. But he won by his innocent look
Thank you so much! This video was so helpful and you did a great job!
Beautiful Aussie. Good confirmation and a great head.
I need you to groom my pup. Your love and care for them is amazing
I wish I could find someone with your skills to groom my Aussie! Awesome!
I loved this video!! You are a great groomer

Barkley is absolutely gorgeous! 😍 I will always have an Aussie in my home ❤️

Such a sweet boi 😭♥️ my Aussie/Husky mix could never stay this still. 😂
Dude same! I have a Aussie husky mix too and she is a nervous wreck at the groomers 😅
Beautiful dog. We just picked up an AS. So smart
You both did an excellent job 🐾🥰🐾
Melissa - you are WONDERFUL at your job!!!!! What lucky pups!!!!
Love this video 🥰
Very nice demonstration of the bathing and grooming. Beautiful dog.
Beautiful dog !
2:10 is a MOOD, hahaha. Thank you so much for all the tips and tricks!
He's such a patient, well behaved puppy. My Ginger is 15 months now and she's such a wiggly puppy. The last time I took her in for a grooming they said she was just too wiggly to trim her nails.

What a pretty trim, and such a good boy. Thanks!
Look at the colours of him so beautiful 😢 ❤️ big 💋🥰
He’s adorable 🥰
Great job! Such a well behaved boy!♥️
Great job! Love from my Aussie Posse. We call those cuts…face, feet and Fanny clips.
This is the only video I've found where the dog's britches were not butchered. Can't wait to test your methods on my Aussie!
I have an Aussie now and have had two others... but now I really miss my first Blue Merrill (sp). Great video. For the last three Aussies I open the shower door and say, "the spa is open" and the come running to be messaged. I'll buy the things you suggested to make it even a better experience.
What a good boy. He’s one good looking rooster as well.
This was very helpful. My adopted Aussie mix is terrified of grooming so I bought a grooming kit and umm going to attempt to do it myself.
Best tutorial I’ve found so far, thank you!
Thank you for your tutorial! This really helped!
What a good boy! I have 2 mini Aussies and just love them to pieces. I wish you were close to me to come groom them. You do an amazing job.
He looks great!😃

What a good boy!❤
Such a good boi
Thank you, very helpful
We have 2 Aussies. You did a fabulous job!
Nice aussie wish you could do mine.
I WANT YOUR VAN! 😍😍😍😍
I have 2 Aussies and am starting out in the conformation ring this weekend. 😁
Such a good video! I have an Aussie doodle and her butt hair is getting crazy. I laughed when you said loose poop!
My boy auzzie looks just like that but with a tail that look like a fan! , A beautiful example of a great dog!
Excellent groomer, and perfectly behaved dog. Beautiful 🥰
Aussies are so easy to train I love mine she’s such a good sweet pup
He’s a beautiful Merle this was also really helpful to watch I am getting an Aussie puppy soon she’s going to be born at the end of April so this month and I want to take the best care of her as I can- I also work at a dog grooming, daycare, and boarding facility and I’m looking to learn how to groom I start training on bathing soon!
GREAT VIDEO, WELL DONE.
He’s so handsome!

After that his hair did grow back correctly, but I get very anxious to take him now because I never want that mix up to happen again.
Yes shaving the hair can change the texture of the hair, just be specific with your groomer what you want & show pictures !
I do shave my Aussie in the summer because we live on a Texas ranch where there are billions of sand burrs. If we didn't shave him (about 2" of hair) the poor thing would be covered in burrs and miserable.. By winter, when we have blizzards (Panhandle of TX) his beautiful hair has grown out again.
HE IS SO BEAUTIFUL 😍😍😍
great job!
I'm glad if you can show how to groom down the neck area . Thanks for sharing very useful information 👍 ❤
That knobby brush is a great idea. I swear it takes hours to get my Aussie fully wet and soaped through to his skin 😂 Those double coats.
Yeah I agree when I groom my golden retriever it is hard to get through the hair
Yes I know! That knobby brush is really a game changer when bathing those double coated dogs!
Thank you for this tutorial!
Doggie: Hooman talking a lot, not taking care meanwhile. Standing still for so long.
Luckily, I am a super good boi.
I love that dog I hope this year get one ..this is the first time that I saw your video so I will follow you ,good job whith dogs 🐕
He is soooo handsome!
What a good boy.

My uncle has an Australian Shepard... She is the sweetest thing ever. But if we are talkin real, aren't they all???!
