Thank you so much for taking the time to film and explain the grooming process of a Sheltie. Your thoughtfulness is much appreciated by me. I now have a 6 year old female Sheltie named Ladybug, she is such a delight. I would not want to hurt her for the world. Your tips and points are priceless. I will do my best to follow your instructions. Blessings to you.

J.M. Thank You so much for your kind,heartfelt comments..I can tell you are an animal lover too,just by your words..I absolutely love,love,love your dogs name..I think it is adorable..Thank You for watching us,and keep in touch..Blessings to you,and Ladybug!! as well..

Thank you Rudy: your love for Brody is so evident! I've had 4 Shelties in my life: 2 currently, 1 is 10 years old like Brody, and the other is 6. The 10 year old Riley has the heaviest coat I have ever seen. Truly remarkable. After watching your video today, I bought the brush and rake. I was grooming them yesterday and broke the pin brush I had used for years.. :) So the timing was perfect. Thank you for sharing your expertise. Shelties are truly remarkable dogs. Mine have been my herders, my guardians, my sentries, my protectors....wonderful sensitive, intuitive and smart breed.

This is a great video. Just what we needed! We rescued a six yr old female Sheltie about two months ago. We had her groomed professionally immediately, and her super-long nails trimmed, but we weren't sure how to groom her coat in between professional visits. Thank you for the detailed instructions, especially on grooming the undercoat and being on the lookout for skin tags. Brody is a handsome fellow. I hope you have a video on Black German Shepherds. We rescued one 18 mos ago and she was just a mess....never groomed or taught manners in her eight years of loneliness. A beautifully bred dog with no hip issues, but Never walked. Didn't know how to eat out of a bowl or off a plate. She is a gorgeous, sweet girl. I'll check all your videos to see if you have one for German shepherds.

Wonderful video. I've had three shelties and enjoyed brushing them out. I did take them regularly to groomer starting around 6 months. I would always brush them out the night before taking them to the groomer. I miss them..

Grooming By Rudy thanks Rudy.

That's a well behaved dog. Mine was also. I cut my Sheltie's pad fur with barber scissors weekly. I used to comb out her hair before washing while she laid on her side. She didn't like it though. Never tried the slicker though - I think I will on my next one.. It looks like it does a wonderful job. A grooming table looks like a wonderful tool. I LOVED grooming my Sheltie, and would advise everyone to try it. You get used to it, and must save a lot of $$$ and time travelling to a groomer. Brody reminds me of my Genna that I lost 5 weeks ago - extremely well behaved.

My sheltie got a full body shave when she was really young (we took her to a not-so-great groomer who misunderstood us), so I've never gotten the chance to really see that under coat because my girl lost hers. I plan to rescue shelties when I can fully support myself with a career and house so this video is perfect for learning how to properly care for their massive fluff!

Lori King Thanks for watching! Glad we could help. If you ever have any questions feel free to ask.

I have had 3 Sheltie and two collies. 5 total. The two collies and two of the three Sheltie were female. My guy now has an amazing coat .. He alone has more coat than the rest put together. The girls all hated being groomed. . Brush, clip, nails, no way. It was a fight from first site of the equipment. My Sheltie now loves being groomed as long as you hold the opposite side so it doesn’t feel like it is being pulled out. He does like going to the groomers, especially one that has this mega bubble spa that gets the water down to his skin after his brushing, just before his bath. Thank you for the lesson on a brush out. There are so many versions out there it becomes quite confusing. I am confessing that I am a major wimp when it comes to nails. Comes from my mom who wanted to keep me from over cutting nails when I was young. She told me that if I cut the nails too short and they started bleeding, the dog might die because you can’t stop them from bleeding. I know it was a terrible thing for her to do but I was quite aggressive when young and could have cut them too short, but that left me paranoid even thinking about trimming nails. I try every once in a while but I know that fear comes back, even knowing that the bleeding can easily be stopped. I do know that it does hurt if you.cut the quick, on one of my collies my husband cut one nail to much, it started bleeding, I let go of her, she rain throughout the house and it looked like a mass murder occurred, all over! Thinking of it now makes me laugh. At the time, it took a very long time to clean the floors, rugs and walls. She would not let us near her feet again. I tried a grinder and it worked fine after she got used to the noise. But, I let too much time go in between grinding so her nails were too long. My guy now has not heard the grinder, I am still afraid to cut his nails, I bought a nail file that works like a humans file that does pretty good but with my arthritis I can’t do it as often as it should be done. So, now my question is, how often should his nails be done and how long might it take between filings or cutting to let the quick back down to where it should be? He runs and walks but on grass only so they do t get the benefit of walking on streets that helps keep them shorter. Once they are down as short as they should be how often should they be cut? You mentioned a spray rinse conditioner. Is that a leave on or rinse it out? Just as a conditioner. He has layer on the a/c vent all summer and I think that dried out his coat and skin a bit. I wondered if I should be using that rinse to keep his skin and coat in better condition. This is the one thing I have to get under control. The other is a sanitary cut. As I said before, he has quite a beautiful coat and that includes his butt. Once in a while, if he has loose stool it does get all over that area and I have wipes to clean up. But even if he is normal, once on a while. A piece sticks to his back end and even a tiny piece makes a mess. Some groomers do a good job with the sanitary cut but no one is ever consistent. Done properly, we are good. Sometimes they cut down to the skin and then it itches till it grows in. What could I put on it to stop the itching? Or just leave it alone? Sorry for the too long question(s) but I am trying my best to get and keep him under control. Please, no negative comments about not having a dog I can’t take care of or getting a different breed. Negativity will just hurt and I do not need that right now. Thank you in advance for your help! (One last question... where are you located? Just wondering if close to Connecticut. 🙂)

That skintag is most likely easy for a vet to cut off. I had some taken off my norwegian forest cat. She got light anesthesia and it was done in 30 mins. I was helping the vet finding it. She glued the skin together. It was not even expensive. Just slightly over 100 dollars in Denmark

Great video! I have a question though, my sheltie seems uncomfortable when I brush him this way...does it hurt them at all? I feel so bad that I end up taking him to the groomers. A bathing video for shelties would be awesome in the future!

“I Love you Brody” along with all your other positive words while brushing him truly earned a great deal of respect from me with how much care you give to him🏆. I did learn a lot about how I was pretty much doing nearly everything wrong 😳, so I have a question regarding a type of brush called the “Furminator”. Where does that brush fall in line with the Slicker and the Rake? Does it even? I have a male and female Sheltie along with a female mini Australian Shepherd. The male Sheltie I’m only able to use the slicker on him. The Furminator, just by the sounds it makes, sounds like it hurts though he doesn’t protest. The female Sheltie doesn’t like the slicker but is tolerant of the Furminator. My mini Aussie? Well the slicker doesn’t seem to work much whereas the Furminator does an amazing job on her (🤔🤦🏼‍♂️probably should now watch a video on how to brush my Aussie). So main question again is. Does the Furminator rank with the Slicker and Rake or should I just buy a rake? I want to give the best possible care that I can to them. Great video!!!!!

Thank you SO MUCH for this! We adopted a sheltie last Aug and were taken by surprise two weeks ago when she started shedding copiously. She was very thin with a scanty coat when we adopted her and we were relieved when she got all floofy five months later. But three months later, her fur came out in clumps and we thought she was ill with little access to the vet during this period. (Our shih tzu doesn't shed like this.) Your video is priceless! Now i know the right way to brush her! Do you ever do anything with the fur the comes out? My shih tzu likes cushions, i was thinking of stuffing a little pillowcase with my shelties' fur.

I have been wanting a dog for a while, and have been seriously considering a sheltie because of their size, friendliness, and ease of training. I figured that I would want to brush out a sheltie 2 times a week anyhow just to help reduce the amount of fur they shed on the carpet (I figure there will be plenty of shedding regardless). What I don't know is how often I should bathe a sheltie. Could you please let me know what your recommendations on bath frequency would be?

Because Shelties have thick undercoats,its important to brush,or rake most of it out prior to the bath,so that the water,and shampoo,can better work its way to the skin,washing away any dirt,or flakiness..The water will also cause the undercoat to become matted if not brushed out before the bath.You don't want to rake out all the undercoat though.Especially if you are showing your sheltie.Brushing before bathing is common for most breeds,to avoid matting..Thank You so much for watching.

Hey Don,so good to hear from you again..Im so happy you got another Sheltie,and you are again working on grooming him yourself..I agree with you they are a gorgeous breed..If you are a hands on type person,that is inclined to work on your dog,like yourself,it may not be as much of a challenge..Some people,are actually afraid to work on there dogs,for fear of accidentally hurting them or just don't have as much time. Double coated breeds,such as Shelties,Keeshounds,or even smaller guys,like Pomeranians are much more maintenance than a shorter coated dog..As a long time groomer,i recommend breeds to people all the time..If they are not hands on types,i always recommend very low maintenance dogs,like French Bulldogs,Pugs,Pits,Labs,ect..Thank You for watching us..

I had take mine to 2 groomers and not one listened to me how to do it right, the last one dump old perfume on my shelties..These groomers need better training..

This poor dog! Don't they ever brush or comb him, or do they just leave it for you to do? My sheltie likes to be held like a baby, lol. I comb his undercoat, stomach and leg feathers out every day, and he usually falls asleep while I do it. It's like his spa treatment/ massage.

i can smell his breath just from watching
