I literally laughed out loud when she said “and Ava hasn’t been groomed in a very long time because groomers don’t groom their own dogs like they should.”

Watching my cat play with the toys from the Happy Furr Combo brings me so much joy. It's clear they're made with love and care.

Thanks. You told exactly what tools were needed and how to use them.

I use the exact same tools! I just use them differently. I work in sections but I use my comb first. I use the comb to separate the fur to find matts as well. When I find one I use the slicker brush to remove any loose fur. Then I use the matting tool to break up the matt. Then I comb to make sure it's all out. My dog also has some sections that are furrier than others. I do like to keep my dogs fur long but also it gets too thick at times in those areas. So I will use the matting comb to thin out those areas a little bit. I'm sure there's a better tool for this but in the moment the matting tool works perfect. I do not groom my dog often enough, shame on me, so sometimes the matting gets out of control. So far in the 3 years I've had him I have not waited so long as to make my dog uncomfortable but recently the matting was really bad. I literally spent 2 hours last night just on his belly and head. Tonight we start the legs and paws.

Great job. I never thought about it until now. I have a mini Australian shepherd and shih Tzu mix. A lot of hair so I figured I should really try to do it correctly. So thanks for the Short but great lesson

Thank you I appreciate it you making this educational video. I didn’t know how to use the dematting tool

[stineolsen]

could you make a video about the different brushes and what type of coat and dog they are good for? i heard that the furminator is bad, but some people love them and its a world of brushes and no idea what brush does what.

Hello. Good finding your stuff here. I have a Havanese. I just gave up and cut her hair over her body from the neck down. I have held off on the rest due to wanting for a decent pair of scissors that don't cost hundreds of dollars. Do you have any suggestions on this?

thank you very much im just about to start a dog grooming job at 15 and i would just like to know what I'm talking about

[julietomins]

I love how you explained the brushing so well. I am learning to groom dogs. What equipment would you use on an English Springer Spaniel please? Slicker brush, Dematting tool, and wide-tooth comb. Any other items I would require?

[debradavies]

Ditto Barbara's comment! Huge thanks!

My poodle bites and is aggressive to me and the brush while I try to brush her. Do you have any advice? She also tries to sit down when I'm brushing her back legs and bites really hard when I try to brush her front legs and head. She had spilled blood while brushing.
