Been professionally grooming for 15 years. Using a de-tangler, a little slickering the dog before the bath, bathing it, conditioner, good rinse, and blowing it out, would have easily dematted that dog. You can't just stick a comb in unbrushed (yes, you brush BEFORE combing), unbathed fur and claim its too matted to save. It wouldn't have been much extra work. I would never recommend brushing out extremely matted dogs, because I'm comfort before vanity, but honestly, that would have been easy to take care of. I don't work in a strip shop though. We do a LOT of guard cuts (mostly 1+ inches). So I can recognize when someone just wants to hurry up and get it done for the least amount of effort. To be fair, that was a very overweight dog, and that makes things more difficult. But I can not blame her for fighting you on her face. Sometimes going a little slower instead of quickly jabbing the clippers at a dog's face will make them feel more at ease about what you're doing. I don't agree with the others concerning the sweet talking, because I find that makes the dog more wiggly and excited, but you really do seem all about the Rush Rush Rush to earn a quick buck.

Im a groomer myself and have been watching your videos for a while now. Why do you always just shave dogs down? Is it because its the quickest and easiest way? Like i get it financially but half the dogs you say are matted just need to be bathed, blown out and brushed to maintain a good quality haircut.

Ok, so it’s not just me. I’m not a groomer so I wasn’t sure but every time her videos pop up, she’s always shaving a dog down. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her do any type of actual grooming. Also, I will never forget what my trainer told me... “dogs don’t speak English” so not sure what she is trying to accomplish by telling the dog to look up and over 🤷🏻‍♂️

She looks pretty happy now! I just love it when you use a tan on a poodle and it looks like crush velvet! You were really good doing your feet. And she didn’t look too stressed out either.I wish you could see my little girl when I got done with her! Great job and blessings as always!

Apart from Willow being from a loving home she reminds me of when my miniature poodle when she arrived to live with us. The excess weight is making her tired and like an older dog. I hope her owners will brush her more and cut her treats to half as much. She is a good girl even though she is nervous

I've had a standard poodle that sadly got this matted from swimming over a period of a few days while we were camping. When we got home I bathed her first with condoning shampoo and then used a heavy conditioner on her. Used a grooming blowdryer that if used correctly will let you know where any mats are left. She did still have some mats, but nothing super bad that I couldn't get out using a de-matting razor or some scissors to cut through them. I would never cut a pink skinned Poodle down with a #10 blade. Their skin is super sensitive and a few hours after being shaved they will start scratching. Ugg :(

I love it because its a bonding time with healthy treats, i keep it pretty short and end when he is being his most coopertive with a treat. Teaching him to walk uo the stairs to get on table and mat ( large dog kennel and old exercise roll out mat) brush him up etc. i went thru 7 German Shepherds and now I enjoy brushing a whole lot!

I guess it's all relative. The hair on my head's curl pattern is 20x tighter than a poodle. So to me the hair on a poodle is cake to maintain. The LONGER it is the EASIER it is to maintain because you can pre-stage it. Or as in my community leave it in a "protective" style that keeps it from getting tangled. But I can and do understand the difference in perspectives.

Dogs respond much better to a kind tone in your voice, and to praise. This groomer sounds annoyed and irritated at Willow. I think Willow is so well behaved. Of course she would feel anxious, having a stranger touch her body and having her head strung up while her fur is cut. All the groomer does is reprimand her! instead of praising and positively reinforcing her good behaviour. That poor dog can sense the groomer's attitude. I have noticed that many poodle groomers are insensitive to the dogs feelings. My labradoodle enjoys being groomed because it is a positive experience; she is constantly encouraged and praised.

Never really understand how people can not brush their dogs, and cats unless the animal doesn't like it. I have a Siamese cat, and he could easily be extremely low maintenance, but he honestly, really enjoys being brushed. I've had a rough Collie, a couple of Shelties, and a Himalayan cat in the course of my life, those guys were really all about just brushing, and bathing them. I personally tend to see brushing as a potential bonding experience, and thus far that philosophy has worked well for me. My sister has a 12 year old toy poodle, but she had to go out of town for over a month so my mother, and I had to take care of him this whole time. Thank God I live next door to my 80 year old mother, I've given my sister's poodle two baths, gave him a clean face, and clipped his body down. His name is Dewey Ray, and my cat and I really love him very much! I really think my mother has the harder job, because she is the one who has to give him his insulin shots twice a day. He's a bit of a handful, but I think this stuff would be easier if we had a table. I'm totally just an amateur, but I love watching videos, and helping out with Dewey Ray! I wonder if I'm wrong... is it really that hard for people to brush their pets?

Really enjoy your videos! Nice work with this matted dog! I love the foot prop - may need to get one. Thanks for sharing you skills!

Loved watching your video. The way you handled her was firm yet caring and what a doll she was. I groomed Cocker Spaniels for years and now have a 4 month standard poodle. I can only hope she sits as well as Willow did as she is a little testy now, hopefully it's the puppy in her .It takes a lot of patience but you seem to have it down perfect.

I agree with d e d e that the pet parents should brush their pet everyday! D e d e has often said and I've heard her tell many pet parents that she doesn't do brushing doesn't like to brush and so if they come in matted that she shaves them down and I think that's fair! I've watched other groomers and they don't compare to d e d e in my opinion. Keep up the good work!

Question: do you wash and dry the dog beforehand so your blades don’t blunt?

She is a good dog, and I sure understand about most groomers taking over two hours to groom. I don’t like not know how long it will take to get him. I get anxious if he is there for over two hours. Because I know he will be in a crate listening to all the other dogs. I have a good groomer but if she gets behind he is there longer. What I have learned to do is to schedule the first appointment when available that way he is done in an hour Or hour and half. He is a small Maltipoo and we do a simple cut so I can manage and he can stay clean. I can do his pads and his privates thanks to watching Dede. Oh and talking to him so he is not acting a fool on the table. Lol

Question: I noticed you said you use the Andi’s clippers; what model do you recommend? I also noticed you change the blades throughout; how many do you recommend to have on hand doing a very curly 87 lb doodle? I have 3 doodles and I don’t plan on doing all 3 as same reasons your client mentioned-no table and my back killing me. I feel if I do just one it will cut the costs. I have really bad arthritis in my hands so It would take me 2-3 days as I’m no professional.

I guess we'll see what my dog's hair will require in the future.

Someone who doesn't have time to brush (or comb, or use whatever tool they feel works best) their dog, shouldn't have a dog that needs daily/weekly grooming.

I myself do some home grooming on my dog's and soon will be moving to an area which has a Mobile Groomer, I can't take my dogs to the groomer through the winter months due to snow/ice/bad roads.

She did so good with you doing her feet and her haircut

Thank you for posting this! I believe you had mentioned during this video that Willow hadn't had her feet done much and it looks like since she's an adult dog, would your recommendation be early exposure to grooming? We are getting a standard poodle soon and we are soooo excited! I just want to make sure that we limit the amount of anxiety on the dog and the groomer we would take them to! Any advice you have would be helpful! I would like for both parties in future to be happy - the groomer for us heeding advice and the dog for not having to deal with the anxiety as much.

What are the best clippers to use on a standard poodle? I have used so many clippers and they just stopped working cuase the hair is so long now. I started scissor cutting him but now the scissors no longer want to work. What would be the best thing to use

she is a good baby

Hello from Galveston ! I missed the transition. You went from a #10 to a #40, then said you were putting on a #1 guard. So just to be clear, #40 blade and attach the #1 guard to it?

no, never, ruins the 40 blade, use 10 blade under guards only. The teeth are thicker than the 30 or 40 blade so 10 blade under guard is best to now ruin your blades fast. www.myfavoritegroomer.com/product-page/andis-ultra-edge-blades

Where did you learn to groom Didi ? Just curious ! I attended Nash Academy of Animal Arts in Cliffside Park, NJ in 1987 !!

What a pretty dog ♡♡

Do you have to use a stay-in detangler or can you just use water?

I just bought km2 clipper used off of offer up app for my miniature poodle neo for 50 bucks

I think was a little scared of the taping of the box by your assistance.....?

Mary Mendonca Yeah right🤣 I don’t think she does time consuming things like that

She looks so pretty!

That is a VERY patient DOG.

You have made Willow a very, very happy dog!! My goodness! What an amazing job you did with a very uncomfortable girl! Her parents will realize that once they get used to her change. She looks wonderful!! I know many poodles that would choose you to make them clean and comfortable 'in their skin' !! Excellent job!

The work you do is awesome.

What is the name/brand of bar you are using for the noose?

Hello! I have 3 miniature poodles and when they go to the groomers they are gone for HOURS and come back traumatized so I started cutting their hair at home, but how do you get their hair even like this??

Do you have a video on how to brush the poodle, and what to use?

She is very calm. Good job pet parents for keeping her used to grooming.

what kind of razor are you using. Any recommendations for pet razor?

Okay I grew up with a miniature poodle, and she hated brushes and combs, so we got her completely shaved down every 6-8 weeks. I don’t ever remember any matts though? Also I don’t remember her hair being quite as curly?
