    This non slip matt is a paw matt. But you can use a yoga matt and cut it to size💗

    What about the poop chute? My black standard four month old gave me a hard time. You professionals make it look so easy. But it’s not. I was doing my little black guy and I was off by two inches when I first started. I had to get a light to see what I was doing and couldn’t believe I was that far off. Looks ten times easier on a white or light colored dog. I have been spending more money on all the grooming supplies because I spent a lot on grooming and veterinary care with my last guy that died of bloat last year. I decided since I’m now retired that I would do the grooming and I’m finding out how totally lousy I am at it. But I’m hoping like everything else, it gets easier and I get better. lol. I should have watched a few more videos before I started. Doing his feet, he was making me think I was hurting him so they look like crap too. After our break, I’m finishing up his feet. I really thought it was going to be easier. 😳that’s the look on my face now. Thanks for sharing. Definitely helps me.

    What length are you doing on the body? I would normally clip around the poop chute on a 10 blade, and then around the rear end area do the length that you are clipping the body on. Yes, black dogs can be harder to see. The more you groom your dog the better and faster you will get, I promise. I would recommend trying to groom your dog at least every fortnight, this will make the job easier for you and your poodle. My poodle acts silly when I am clipping his poodle feet as well, but he will settle down the more I do it. Please don’t give up, you will get better 💗

    Did you watch the entire video?? The owner was there for the entire groom. Cody is a dog that is home groomed and is not used to being groomed in a salon environment. I think your comment is unfair to the dog, he is not biting or misbehaving and I think he did really well. Maybe get your free grooming advice somewhere else, your negative comment against someone’s beloved pet is not welcome here, cheers ✂️

    This is my dog, and yes, he can be a nervous dog. We are working on this, and introducing him to new environments is helping. As Melanie said, we were there the entire time, and she handled him very professionally. He needed a good groom, and we wanted Melanie to show us how. We took lots of breaks for cuddles and reassurance. Hopefully others could learn from it too, and perhaps feel reassured that they are not alone in having a nervous dog. In my opinion, it shows that not only is Melanie professional and can work well with stressed dogs, she's also down to earth and not just about that perfect curated look you get all over socials.

    I've got a special brush for Gucci, my Corgi. It was recommended by a groomer. I ordered it off of Amazon. I found a spray conditioner that I use on Gucci before I groom her which was recommended in a grooming book. She does well when I brush her, line brush her, and use a desheeder on her. I spray her coat every time I use a different grooming tool on her. I'm still working on getting her used to nail clippers. I do have a Dremel to trim her nails. I just have to get around and desensitize her. She gets her teeth brushed every night before she goes to bed. She's ready for bed around 8:00 PM.

    Hey! This video is great! I’m fairly new to clipping my poodle cross dogs. One is very curly and the other more smooth coated. What’s really confusing me is, do I use different blade lengths or do I use one blade length and then attach different combs lengths to it? Hope that makes sense xx

  • @MelanieNewmanSalonEssentials
    @MelanieNewmanSalonEssentialsАй бұрын

    Hi, yes it makes sense. If you use snap on attachment combs you will use the same blade underneath the snap on attachment comb. The snap on attachment combs are available in different lengths. If you are using blades that cut to the desired length ( example 7f, 5f, 4f) then you want need the snap on attachment combs. Normally you would use the same on attachment combs if you would like a longer length. Have you seen this video - kzread.info/dash/bejne/m2ukmMGhhLatiNY.htmlsi=c2qAdx78m3_dYOFo

    Started having a try to groom my Archie yesterday & then found your video.. Archie looks exactly like Bentley except that he is a toy. Your video is the best & easiest to follow, thank you.. I was nearly on the right track with grooming like you have shown & this has given me what I needed to finish him better. Wish I could afford the thinning scissors, have tried a couple cheaper ones but they didn't do anything on his coat. Do you have to brush them every day to keep the fluffy look , Archie is back to his untidy curly coat in a couple of hours. Does one of your products keep them fluffy a little longer.

  • @MelanieNewmanSalonEssentials

    I am so glad you found our channel and it is helping you. I would recommend definitely buying a pair of thinning scissors when you can afford them, it will make a big difference in your efficiency when grooming. My poodles and Bichon begin to curl after about 4 days after a bath and dry. When I washed them, I shampoo twice and condition once and make sure all the oil and residual is removed from their coat because if the hair is still oily and not clean and dried properly it will curl back straight away. I wash all my dogs once a week and they get brushed then. I use the relax collection on our poodles 🐩 melanienewman.com.au/collections/the-relax-collection
