The Littlest Pika her day of Bork. I have betrayed her

"Moommm... It's my birthday... why is the birthday girl GETTING A BATH"

Happy Birthday Ellie! You’re nice and clean now! 😉👏🏼

Happy Birthday, Ellie!

Happy birthday Ellie❤️

As a groomer I really appreciate this video. So many people have no idea how important it is to do these things at home especially with long coated dogs

yes!! more dog content!

I bathe my border collie about once a month and we have a very similar method! Ellie is gorgeous and blessed to have you as her momma.

Great job though!! She is beautiful!!

Happy birthday 🎂🎈🎈🎉🎂 🎉 ELLIE

Would love to know where the suction cup leash holder thing in the bath came from !! I rewatched a bunch of times trying to see if you mentioned it, also where could I find that shampoo at?

I'm a groomer (4 yrs) and I think you did totally fine! Obviously shears are better than scissors but you were careful so all's well! I think I'm gonna steal that table dryer idea from you for home because I have a dryer demon who might be okay with that one...we'll see

Hey Maddie love your girl there question is she any particular type like small or medium sized for breed typically she kinda looks smaller than normal to me and I am interested in getting a smaller one

I have a bc with a similar but slightly longer/colicky coat. Can you list the products you use?

What is your favorite pet you have? My mom and I have a golden doodle.

Quick question how long does it take to brush the dog

Happy birthday Ellie! (I forgot to ask in your last video) what whitening products you use? 😊 I’m going to be picking up my Samoyed puppy in a couple weeks and I’m sure I’ll end up needing one eventually.

Lol 10 seconds after my comment you said black star shampoo 😅 whoops.

Dr harveys has a great ear cleaner that doesn’t leave any oils on the dogs skin. I use it for my dog because he has such sensitive skin.

Where do you get your shampoo and conditioner?

My border aussie loves the dremel but Hates .. the nail trimming scissors and loves her hair cut in the summer

I LOVE ELLIE AWWWW she’s so precious. Border Collies are my absolute favorite dog breed, so smart and soooo kind. Mine is a sable BC named Riley. ♥️

Groomer here!! I think you did a great job for at home grooming! One brush I'd recommend is the chris christiansen coral slicker brushes. They are fantastic for getting out under coats and tangles. I know you mentioned your shears a broken too on amazon the purple dragon shears are pretty great especially for what you're doing. You can get a set of 4 which come with straights, curves, and thinners for like 40$. Straights around her paw and thinners on top! Also great advice brushing your dog should be an every day thing and nails weekly with a dremel!

You’re the best! Thank you! 💕

I'm a groomer and the only thing i cringed at was you using kitchen scissors for her feet. Lol. Love seeing a dog owner who cares so much about their dog! And not in the gross fur mommy way 😂

I ordered new sheers since then thank goodness. My old ones were beat up and couldn’t even cut through fur anymore. It was past time 😂 thanks for your comment! 💕

Ellie a cute doggie

Does bathing her once a week have any effect on her skin I would think it irritates an drys the skin ? Xx

Not at all! Luckily I use natural/gentle cleansers so her skin doesn’t get dry. Sometimes I’ll just use conditioner and no shampoo. I think her raw diet really helps keep her skin and coat in nice condition too :)

She's a cuteyyy

Our border collie is double coated and i am struggling to maintain it!!!

Hopefully some of those products can help! Double coats can be a pain to keep up with! The undercoat rake is my best friend haha

5:16 OMG I love them

Doesnt it damage her skin when you bathe her weekly?

I used to be a dog groomer, that “under coat rake” is actually meant for matted fur, bin it, it cuts the coat and completely destroys it, and that’s probably why your collie is curly. I also would recommend bathing weekly for dogs, they need their oils for a healthy coat and skin, regardless of their diet. I don’t believe all dogs need to brushed daily, if you want to that’s fine, I only really brush my dogs when they’re moulting otherwise I leave them (they are short coated dogs so no need to brush to prevent knots). With that dryer be super careful not to have it too close to the skin when it’s hot as you can super easily burn you dog. Also when drying the dog make sure she is completely dry and that eliminates wet dog smell

My dog hates his feet being touch he will scream and throw himself off a couch he will not let anyone touch his feet he literally chews off his nails and it makes me so sad because I want to be able to give him a good trimming

I have to brush my border collie everyday and he STILL sheds like an entire dog around the house daily

My friend envied me because my border loves her grooming. I told her to try using the rake and metal undercoat grooming tool on her own head and yank it through any tangles while she was at it! If it hurts you - then it hurts your dog too. Why use painful techniques and have your dog half throttled while your at it. No wonder this poor creature hates her bathing and grooming. I use plastic tipped and pure plastic equipment. I let her sit and lay freely and chat away. We stop and cuddle and even hand play between times. Feed her the odd treat too when she is especially calm and good when having to stand. Bathing and grooming are not her favourite things in life but she doesn't hate it either. Time the dog grooming profession dragged itself into the 21st century.

So cute and adorable, reminds me of my cute shih tzu angelo, he has some funny videos, you can check them out on my channel✌

You shouldn't need to brush your dog more than 2 or 3 times a week, especially a shorter fur dog that won't get matted. Brushing a lot can cause irritated skin and damaged fur. Same with weekly baths, it is not necessary to bathe your dog weekly unless it is actually dirty. If you are using proper shampoo and or conditioner it should be fine but most of your audience probably won't buy quality conditioner which is essential if you are bathing so often. For example, my Husky mix has a double coat that won't ever get matted, sheds twice a year and is generally a clean dog-she gets bathed once a year or so. My Pomeranian who is not as clean and prone to tangles and matting, gets a bath once a month and brushed 3 times a week. Nails at least once a week.

I’ve found that brushing daily really helps her hair growth. And I agree, the products really make a difference. Cheap shampoos and conditioners strip the cost super harshly. We don’t do weekly baths unless it’s show season and usually she needs them because she’s covered in mud from muddy fields. Sometimes we just use conditioner though and skip out on shampoo if she’s not dirty.

@@MaddieSmith I just think it's important to include some of that info because lots of people just want to look up to you (and other youtubers) which is great but only if they know the facts. So brushing daily with tools that wont harm the coat or the skin and weekly baths only if you use quality shampoo and conditioner. The info you do have in there is great though btw.

Did the retired groomer who shared a tip about not using the hip noose delete their own comment? I really hope that’s the case and that it wasn’t deleted by you. Why not be open to constructive criticism? There was even a request for tips at the end of the video! I really like your channel I was just a bit shocked to see that! A little disappointed. Removing mean or nasty comments is understandable... but that comment was not rude at all.

She must’ve deleted it, I didn’t see it and I don’t see it in the “marked as spam” folder either. I’m definitely curious what she said, would you paraphrase? (Also I don’t delete any comments on my channel unless they’re offering blatantly wrong/harmful care tips to other people. ☺️)

Maddie Smith oh phew! I always thought highly of you for being open to new ideas. Thank you for clearing that up. They mentioned how they didn’t use the hip noose because it was uncomfortable for the dog if they tried to sit down with it on, putting too much pressure on that region. I think it was more of “keep in mind” or “be aware” kind of comment just in case those watching tried to use the hip noose without experience. Ellie stood so nicely and was not trying to sit down so it wouldn’t be a issue in your case! But I felt it was a good comment for your viewers to just keep in mind.

Thanks for passing it on! Ellie does stand very well on the table and the reason I use it is because sometimes she’ll shift back and forth while doing her toenails, but of course if it was going to cause her potential injury or there was issues I’d want someone to tell me! I’m always open to criticism, I think animal lovers have to be if they want the best for their pet!

Maddie Smith I have a malamute/husky and although I have not yet used the “furminator” on her coat I do have one that was given to me. After you had mentioned how harmful it can be on a coat like hers I did some research and will be purchasing a new undercoat rake. So thank you for sharing your insight on that!

Weekly? Why so much?
