I have decided to get a shower curtain hanger to put a temporary shower curtain around my tub in my bathroom so water doesn't hit the wall. You know, those old time looking ones for the claw tubs. And, I bought an extra hose from Hanvey, so now I have one that connects to the pump and one that connects to my faucet, so I don't have to change anything out...now I have to get a spray bottle and get some fabric softener. I'll be all set for my Belgian Tervuren.
Thank you so much for this video! I have literally called every groomer in my area and surrounding towns to find that noone does hand-stripping or, really, any way to preserve the coat of our cairn. I'm going to try it on my own until I can find a groomer. Can you please let me know what size Coat King you recommend for a 9-month, 11lb Cairn... and any other tools that may be useful? Thank you!
Hi Barbara really enjoyed your video. Shammas was really a good boy too. I have a 4 month old Cairn so won't need to do him for awhile yet. But will try your techniques when I do. I had 2 other Cairns before that I took to groomers and all the wire part of hair was removed. Was so sad when I saw them . They looked adorable anyway but always loved their wire hair so after that I began doing their hair. To late wire was gone but it was ok they were still our cuties. . Will try to keep Tucker our cairn looking like Shammas . Thanks for your video will help me in future to have the right tools as well
Thanks for the note, Diann, and I wish you the best of luck in khand stripping Tucker. Here's a couple of tips: Rake out as much undercoat as possible with a not-sharp rake or very fine comb. Just doing this will help to keep nice fat, coarse top hairs coming in. Don't try to pluck hair that is not ready. Hair that is reeady will be light colored at the skin. I made that video many years ago. One of my favorite tools today is a pumice stone. Yes, a regular pumice stone from the hardware store. Wrap one end with about 3" of vet wrap, Hold in lyour lhand and cut off any stone that extends more than an inch beyond your forefinger. Place the edge on some hair at the tips and pull straight out. voila! You can sharpen the edge by rubbing the stone against something rough like a concrete block.
Thank you so much for this video! There's still not much info online about the Hanvey Bathing Beauty system, but this video answered the primary question I had: how does it wash the dog when sitting in water that's becoming increasingly dirty as the wash progresses. Thank you for commenting on this in your video :)
Thank you for this terrific video. As a Westie owner, a finished champion, I also have a young Cairn puppy. Your video helps me groom her to look like a Cairn...not a Westie. So, thank you again!
Great video, I just purchased the Havey Bathing nozzle and hose attachment and a utility pump from Lowes. Trying a DIY home bathing set up. Can you tell me the silicone product you are using and does it condition the coat or just keep mats at bay. Thank you
I would have loved to seen that dog after it was dry. Just a quick shot. You wouldn't have had to go through the whole table grooming process, thanks for the help on this, though, was wondering about the rinsing. I have three Belgians, not a groomer, but feel I can do a better job with my dogs at home.
What a great job on this super cute little Cairn, I'm flabbergasted how calm he remained throughout the grooming session, I also have a Cairn Terrier and he has a veryy short fuse when it comes to sitting and being clipped and combed but we just keep going, giving him a few treats helps and it is really worth the effort .
I shave my Cairn all the way to the skin once a year....in the spring, right before the Georgia hot summer begins. He loves it. I leave his top long and spike it up with moose. Makes him look like a wild boy rock star. He love the shave session everywhere except his feet...He just doesn't like his feet messed with but he puts up with it out of love for me. This once a year shave gives his sensitive shin a break and by next year he is a full fluff ball again and ready for boot camp once again.
This is a great video on how to trim the top knot and top of the ears. After I first got my Toy Poodle, I took her to a groomer because I gave away all my grooming stuff years ago. I told that groomer that I wanted her left kind of fluffy and wanted her too knot trimmed also, well she shaved her whole body real short and never trimmed her top knot.I didn't notice the top knot not being trimmed because she had ribbons in her ears. I bought straight Oster sissors with the curved ends, so I just trimmed the topknot myself. I need to buy clippers to shave her face and feet. Does anyone know about how long it takes a coat to grow back to where it's just fluffy?
On the Coat King Medium tool, I was wondering how many blades there are on that tool that you are showing as they come in various sizes and none of them indicate that it is "medium". They have a 6, 8, 10, 12, 16 20 and 26 blade tool. Please let me know which you are using as I have 3 Cairns (2 brindle puppies that I would like to start to hand strip. My older guy has been cut for years now and i didn't know about this hand stripping so his color has changed significantly to that light color you are showing on Shamus. It's too late for him to change grooming methods but want to start my other two out on the right foot.) :) thank you!
Love this video...we have 3 Cairns....took 2 to a groomer and they hand stripped one like it was a border terrier...so, I am taking over...this video was very informative and well done...thanks!!
I never heard of using man hair gel to groom a dog. Is there doggy gel? 🤷♀️ I. Don’t know.i don’t like the gel. It looks really messy.i don’t like it. Iam sorry.
What an adorable puppy. Learned a lot. My guy Dusty is prone to some skin issues and I think it's because we mismanaged his grooming for so long. Going to try some of the stuff I learned here with him.
I started doing this to my dog since she was a puppy. I was concerned that it might hurt but she never ever even flinches! If it hurt her she would let me know. She is very vocal.
Excellent video! Good clear shots, great lighting & non-distracting background. NICE grooming job! Clear explanation of exactly what you were doing and with what, without nonsense chatter! Very cute and cooperative dog, lucky you! Silky haired dog that I don’t see in a lot of in videos; will help me a lot in trimming my pet Pom! THANKS! 👍👍
