    Great tips. I used to hand strip 9 mini wire-haired dachshunds. Your video brought back memories :)

    @@hackneybarkers I had 3 mini wires myself and then our breeder let me groom 6 of theirs to learn how. Got lots of practice. Eventually I would groom them ready for show. When my dogs got older and sore with arthritis I switched to clipper work on them to keep them comfortable. I have subsequently learned to groom golden doodles. I am not a pro or FT groomer. Just do it on the side. Currently have 3 "clients".

    Hello 👋 Many grooming competitions often have seminars. Alternatively, you can always reach out to breeds/style experts, they often hold classes upon request!

    Hey! We’re glad that you have enjoyed our video! Hmm that’s surprising, which Wahl clipper are you using? We use Heiniger sapphire clippers and Andis clippers for the majority of our work and our Wahl Arco for small areas such as paw pads.

    Great advice ladies. I am a self taught dog groomer and today I tried to groom my sisters cockapoo 🙈 my gosh it was more difficult than I thought it would be. What number attachment would you recommend for all over body as she doesn’t want her too short. ?? Thank you 🙏 god bless 🫶🏻

    Hey! The yellow comb attachment is generally a nice and manageable length. However, everyone’s perception of short is different. If you try it, let us know what you and your sister think! Good luck with everything ❤️
