This Dog was Beyond Matted
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Emergency Groom! Learn how to strategically approach a challenging grooming session. Bring confidence and positivity to the grooming table before trimming a dog that is matted. This dog was beyond matted and lost on a busy road. His foster Mom called me in a panic on a Saturday night asking if I would free him from the dirty mats keeping him a prisoner inside his own coat. I agreed to see her and this matted Goldendoodle the next morning in my grooming salon. Because I know how painful mats can be to a dog, I certainly wanted to help this dog feel better.
Lucky for you, I decided to film this groom to help you successfully groom dogs that are matted. This is an emergency groom on a Goldendoodle and as pet groomers, we often see matted doodles as the coat is dense, heavy, and high maintenance.
We can all be certain at some point there will be a matted dog on our grooming table, and I want YOU to be prepared with the knowledge to make it a successful grooming session.
There are dangers and risks involved when giving a matted dog a haircut.
I hope to assure you know how to approach this type of scenario with confidence and strategically make a plan before picking up your clipper.

Grooming a severely matted dog is like cleaning a hoarders house, the outcome will not be perfect because there has been damaged done. Grooming these severely matted dogs breaks my heart, and this is so common now with the doodles.

I honestly hate seeing these dogs being bred cause 9 and a 1/2 of the ones I get are badly matted. People don’t realize how much grooming is at home and in the pocket until they are grown and start to realize. I’d hate to see a lot of these being dumped

@@beth4893 whenever I look at the dogs available at shelters I very rarely see any doodles. I don’t think you need to worry about them getting dumped in large numbers .
I appreciate your videos so much. I started in corporate grooming a year ago and I really don't like how it values profit over quality care for the pet. I've faced so much burn out, but your videos help me stay passionate and I am finally leaving to seek an apprenticeship at a nice shop with my same feelings. Your love for dogs is so heartwarming to see and I feel the same way about these precious angels. It is our job to keep them healthy. I deeply appreciate your tips on how to help anxious dogs that aren't used to grooming. It is the most challenging part of the job for me, but I want to be able to help them. You've taught me so much of what I know to give proper care to dogs while working in a place that doesn't care nearly enough about the pet parents or their babies. Thank you!!

My groomer is leaving the area. She gave me a 6 week notice so I could find another groomer. Nobody really wants to groom an Old English sheepdog, other than places like pet smart. So, I started watching your videos. I was able to understand how to bathe my girl properly and gave her a bath the night before her last groom. The groomer praised my work, and allowed me to work side by side with her to get her clipped and trimmed using the equipment i had purchased. I am now on my own. Yes, I am a bit nervous, but your videos and her instructions will carry me through to being independent with my pup grooming needs. The first few times may not look great, but I am confident about being able to keep her clean and free from mats. Thank you for what you do! Without your videos, I would have never even tried this on my own.
He sure was a good boy.🐾🐾. Thanks for helping him Amy.❤️
I recently had a financial hardship that made it difficult for me to constantly take my dogs to the groomer. These videos have taught me so much about doing it at home. It definitely takes a lot of practice but it's super helpful to know all this information.
I love how you keep mentioning that you have to think about the dog's state of mind. Also how you brought up you having to be confident and the effect it has on the dog. This is a great video and great handling of an unsure dog in a potentially stressful situation.

He is so happy with those horrible matts gone. When I came to realise my girl couldn't attend the groomers she had been with since 4 months old and the what am I going to do hit in I was beside myself with fear of how do I groom a poodle. Then I found your channel and watched the videos over and over and over again. Your videos gave me the information I needed to choose appropriate equipment and enough confidence to try. That first groom a year ago took hours as both of us needed so many breaks. We still have some issues as my girl is very sensitive about her front legs and paws, we do a bit, then move somewhere else and come back to get through those parts. We now do a full groom in 1.5 hours from bath to done. Thank you for the body of work you have published to help dog owners do the best for their fury friends.

Amy, you are an Earth Angel!! I loved and greatly appreciate what you did for Frankie. I have an Australian Labradoodle that's about the same size and age as Frankie, and watching your video brought tears to my eyes. You've inspired and given me the confidence to delve deeper into grooming my pup myself. I just paid $130 last week for a grooming and it was not that great. I'm now going to purchase all the tools, equipment, and supplies that you recommend to build my grooming skills so that I can eventually groom my puppy myself, 100%. I'm now an Amy fan. Thank you!!

This week I groomed a nursing old English sheepdog, who had a lot of matting throughout her body, including her face. So sad. 4hr groom and she was incredibly patient. Left with a smooth, beautiful, flowing coat.
This dog looks just like our rescued goldendoodle. We were told this was the state he was in when he arrived at the rescue. It took months of me grooming him before he stopped trying to stop mouthing me or nipping at the brush. Thank you for taking care of that dog & for giving the grooming tips

That was a very technical groom. Lots of grooming tips as well. I’m so happy your friend asked for your help. All of my dogs have been rescue dogs except my current Yorkie. Love and respect for how they are feeling has made a difference every time in turning an anxious dog around. My hardest dog to turn around needed so much love before that happened. That dog and I had more prayer talks with God than ever. She ended up being the most loving dog, and in turn so, so compassionate. You are a very good, experienced groomer, with a wonderful heart for dogs.

Oh Frankie is a sweet boy and so handsome. Thank you for helping him be more comfortable and good looking. I think you released his true self when you got rid of that matted shell. He looks so happy with his new family. Love your 'teaching' input, often we see a groomer shaving but maybe not the reasons why. I had a long haired GSD who loved being groomed so she was easy to keep mat free (except behind the ears!!!) our other longhaired GSD hated grooming and it was a daily event to go round one part of his body at a time, ie left hind quarter, next day right hind quarter, next day a forequarter etc he could cope well with grooming then. Both of these dogs had previous owners during their puppyhood so their grooming experience was unknown to us. Our short-haired GSDs were puppies with us and loved grooming.... Frankie looks fabulous in his new home with the added bonus of kids to play with....

Awesome cut and time with such a beautiful dog!
#7 did cut matt really well, but you need to be careful since #7 is way more easy to catch dog’s skin comparing to #10, #10 is the safest blade for super matted. Of course it will be fine if you are a experienced professional groomer haha
