I want to thank each and every person supporting this channel and constantly pushing it to the max of its ability! As stated in my welcome back video, my goal is to open my own dog rescue. If you’d like to support the building of that rescue or just support the channel in general, please feel free to do so below. Thank you in advance for your support! Anything is appreciated 🙏🏾 Venmo: ForTheLuvOfDogs Answer 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 🐶

Great groom🎉 ! I don't think people understand how dangerous grooming can be when the dog doesn't cooperate. You did a wonderful patient teaching method with her . I'm sure she will come around as she sees you. Hopefully she ,with your teaching her, will grow up enjoying the groom. Love from Bucks County Pennsylvania 😊🐕🐾🐾💕🐾💕🐾💕🐾💕🐾💕🐾💕🐾💕🐾💕🐾💕🐾💕🐾💕

Great job! I have a few dogs like this one that i groom! It's always a challenge but so nice to see them happy in the end! 🐾🐶

Very nice🎉You are making a great comeback! Your Grooming Skills are very good. What I’m seeing is…you are more patient, more at peace and experiencing more inward growth… Have a happy day 😀

All that screaming not necessary. I love that. Aaaa. No we are not screaming

Aww, she was adorable

"Meds don't fix behavior!" Yes. For those in the back who didn't hear.

She acts just like my pup. Lol feisty one when it comes to haircuts. Great video!

Awww cute baby!

I was surprised when you said that the vet prescribed Gabapentin. It is used to treat epilepsy. It's also taken for nerve pain. I take this medication for nerve pain every night. You did an awesome job with her! Hopefully she gets better with time and won't need to be medicated.

I was also surprised. They are using this med for pain all the time on people as well. It needs to be used daily to build up and work effectively. My son recently had surgery and they gave him a gabapentin post op! He did not have nerve pain, it was surgical! Hope this poor puppy gets calmer.

You did really well with this little ones nails. My dog, about the same size is so much worse, he goes insane when we just start to touch the nail. Wish we could bring him to you. I am going to try holding him like you did. You are so right, he knows he can get away with anything with us. I loved watching you with this baby.

My vet gave me Gabapentin for my cat’s next visit. The previous sedative he gave me my cat wouldn’t eat. Gabapentin is a capsule so it’s already a fine powder. One capsule the night before and one in the morning. I used to take Gabapentin myself for nerve pain but now I take Lyrica, Pregabalin.

@@susanstein6604 thanks for the info. I have tried gabapentin and it did not help. I will ask my doctor about trying the other. Nerve pain really stinks.

I absolutely love your way with dogs especially this dog as she was determined to not get groomed but you got there in the end and how beautiful she looks . I so enjoy your videos thank you . Eva from Scotland 👏👏👍🏼😘😘

She was a lot but you did what you had to do as the groomer to not injure her! Great choice!!

I jumped the first time she jerked her head when you went for the right brow. I’m glad you called it after that, & that her mom could see what you were dealing with.

This little dog talks lol❤️

Congrats on 10,000 plus subs!!! 👏🏽👏🏽Keep rising to the top🥰🥰🙏🏽🙏🏽

Little fiesty puppy. I think you won in the end ❤

Wild child!

This dog could benefit from Trazodone ~ the safest of the benzodiazepine medications for dogs and it’s inexpensive. Love your work🐶❣️

I thought you did a great job. I would have lost my patience long ago. She was very pretty once you were finished.

You have the patience of a saint ❤

You have the patience of a saint. Cheers to you for doing such a great job.

Stinking cute even though she was a lil stinker😂😂😂

that is the owners fault for not introducing a modicum of grooming to the poor dog!

you better get used to it you this happyens every 2 months

Shocked she’s sedated as she’s just a puppy, the vet was wrong for that and the owner. I think you are a fantastic groomer. I love how u don’t play around with these dogs, but u can tell u care, and your work is always on point! Pls don’t send me to 🔥 😂 but that dog is not attractive 🙈 and slightly tapped looking! Tell her to take it elsewhere cause that dog will always be a pain in ure side! 😂😂

I think it is sad that a 6-month-old puppy needs sedation, thinking a pill can fix anything. I love Brittany and her no crap attitude, which is what is needed, especially for the terrier tenacity---you have to match it. But I am going to say this and mean no disrespect to her. This dog should have been exposed to all the aspects of grooming from the first time she came into the shop. It is easier to deal with a smaller 6-week-old puppy and get it accustomed to the experience than it is now at her age/size. "Waiting" until she (dog) is "ready" for her ears/face to be trimmed? If left up to the dog it will never happen. Sorry, but the dog has won this round. Yes, every groomer has their own ways of doing things. I was a professional groomer for 30 years and would not have let this dog go home unfinished. I wish Brittany had someone to hold the dog, think that would help too. Again, I mean no disrespect, this is how I feel. Glad the channel is growing.

why dont owners groom or work with coats that puppy needs learn to be groomed

Do what u got to do dear with these dogs dear,your the groomer not the dogs❤️❤️
