Answers to FAQ’s Anal Glads I clean the anal glands at the owners request. It is important that the dog itself express their anal glands. The anal gland is a muscle in the dog’s rectum and the more you manually do it the more you’re teaching the dog not to use it’s muscle. Honestly groomers really shouldn’t express anal glands. If the anal glands are compacted a vet should be doing it but if your dog is having issues with anal glands you should add fiber to the diet. Music Unfortunately I can’t use the complete shop noise because we play music in the background that I can get copy written for so I have to drown out that music with something or no sounds at all. If I put in background music I can leave a little shop noise in. So, I will always add music unless it is not necessary to do so. “Roughness” During the bath I speed up the time to trim the video shorter in length so, things may seem “rougher” than they actually are because what you’re watching is a bit distorted. Also, when you hear me firm with a dog it is to train them for safety reason so they do not get seriously injured now or in future grooming appointments. Scissors & Matting I didn’t use scissors because they are way more dangerous than clippers. Clippers I can pull away quickly but shears are very sharp so if the dog moves I could’ve cut him/her really bad. Groomers are actually taught never to use shears to cut out a mat because it’s so dangerous. I’ve seen so many instances where people (owners and groomers) have cut dogs bad because they were trying to cut the mat out quick and actually cut the dog. Voiceovers Voiceovers go hand in hand with the music. My viewers like to know what is going on and what tools I am using and why. We also like to discuss topics related to dogs so I will talk about that in my voiceovers. I will always do voiceovers unless it is not necessary to do so. Video Angles I switch up my angles so that the majority gets a view they like. If you’re looking for a head mounted view that is typically Wednesdays or point of view could be Mondays or Fridays. Stationary camera view is either Mondays or Fridays Coddling Dogs/Puppies I don’t coddle dogs during grooming because grooming is a serious matter dealing with sharp tools that can injure a dog greatly. If a dog or puppy is throwing a tantrum I will not stop to hold or comfort the dog because they don’t understand like we do. They consider that rewarding. So, by me “comforting” them during a tantrum or spastic moment, it is actually backfiring and training them that if they act up the groomer will stop and they will get what they want. Which is how dogs end up getting hurt during grooming and hating it. So, play time is for before or after grooming and never during. Assumptions This final one is not a question but more of an assumption some people have. Some people assume, because I didn’t put it in the video, it didn’t happen. Just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. As groomers and editors, we cut out a lot of “unnecessary” content so what you are watching is NOT actually how the day went. So, if you have a question of whether or not something happened during the process that is NOT in this pinned comment, please feel free to ASK and NOT ASSUME. Shampoo/Conditioning I do NOT use a lot of shampoo. The bottles that I use are mixing bottles and are predominantly water. I thoroughly wet the coat and scrub them really well which creates the nice lather so they are actually clean when I am finished. Ears Yes I clean and pluck ears but only when necessary. If a dog has clean ears, there is no need. If a dog has matted ears and matted hair in the ear canal, I won’t pluck the ears if I have to shave the ears down to avoid hematomas. Yes I put cotton balls in the ears for certain dogs who are prone to ear infections and I use happy hoodies for senior dogs or noise sensitive dogs. If you ask me something that is in this section, I will respond, refer to the pinned comment. Also, know I have very sarcastic humor and in general a sarcastic person (not in a bad or annoying way lol) so if you comment something sarcastic or smart mouth, I will reply with something sarcastic in return 🤣🤣 Thank you all for the constant love and support and I’ll catch you in the next video 🙏🏾❤️❤️ For The Luv Of Dogs 🐶

I loved watching this groom you and Millie had me cracking up with the attitude and turd commentary. Loved when she started kissing your hand like "I like you.... but can we be done now? No?.... Then I'll be a turd" She's a beautiful princess. And looks great after the double bath.❤

Millie is a beautiful dog! I just discovered you recently. I appreciate how you explain what you are doing & state the tools that you are using. My favorite dog breed is the Shih Tzu! I thoroughly enjoyed this groomed. It is hilarious that Millie does not like her legs to be held! Your work is meticulous & it is a privilege to watch you while you happily do your work!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ♥️♥️🎀MILLIE🎀♥️♥️

You work with that time most of the time for 2 hours. That is a lot to make the dog beautiful. My hats off to you. You remind of the young man that grooms dog on “Man’s Best Friend”. Great groomer.

It's typical isn't it. You are up against the clock re Moody Millie's grooming time. She is on the contrary go slow grooming time. I am sorry but I giggled most of the way through this video. Millies is a sparkling white ball of fluff, beautifully groomed to make her into a magnificent modern moody Millie. Thank you for sharing little miss contrary with us. Mean while it's 4.42 am here in Scotland. I am catsitting for a friend and she hasn't shut up since half past ten. Your. Millie Session is distracting me from Mrs Loudmouth .... I swear someone has given this cat a fully loaded caffeine drink...... I am sure in the next few days normality will return to our lives...... Happy grooming.

I have a tiny toy poodle who is my baby. I was her face every day. She loves her extremely soft wash cloths and I keep her eyes clean. She is red. I’m going to go thru your videos and hope to find you grooming a tiny toy poodle. I always bathe Phoebe once between grooming. She goes in every 6 wks. What is the avg cost of grooming? I pay $58.00 which to me is expensive no more than they do. I’m going to purchase a good set of clippers and start grooming her myself. She does get a poodle cut with a band shaved around her waist.

Where did you get your orange small slicker brush??

Matting can come from a lot of things. Not brushing is one but with Millie’s coat texture and how long her hair was it could simply come from scratching, laying down, a collar being on and yes, hair that is suppose to fall out and does not because all dogs actually shed. They bring Millie in like clock work so they are not neglectful in the least so idk what that lady talking about lol. She’s also not a Maltese so that just goes to show people just like to hear themselves talk lol.
