Improvise. Use any table that is the right height for you, put a rubber matt on it. You can do it without the restraints. Use the closest approx to what she is using.
It takes a lot of time and strength to do this job, but I like it, it's even therapeutic to me. And when we see them finished, smelling good, it's satisfying. Nice video. I've learned a lot.
Our puppy is almost 11 weeks old and we have him since 2 weeks. We haven't been able to do anything as good as what you are doing. You demo is excellent and what I was looking for. You explain the why very well. You brush with confidence and I suspect it makes a difference. We know how important brushing is and we observed some scratching, I like how you explained leaving it as it is is uncomfortable is it for the dog. We will try your tricks and go to the groomer to insure our Samoyed well being. Thanks you very much.
Everytime after I wash and groom my Samoyed , i almost use up all my strength and need to get rest for a couple hours for recovery . It ‘s a not easy job .😪
I own a 2.5 year old male samoyed, Alaska. I am so thankful for my groomer! But with the Coronavirus shutting down businesses I need to become more involved. This video was helpful with brushing techniques, thank you 🙏🏼
An update. I have been trying the brushing you suggest for the puppy and I am making progress: Little upward movements and making a line in the fur, and advance slowly. We work on the living room floor, someone helps me to keep her still ,gently. I am working just for a few minutes on her once a day, at the same time in the evening with lots of treats to reward her cooperation. Positive reinforcement is the way we try.On the second night of brushing , she was collaborating beyond anything I had hoped. I stopped after a few minutes when she started to move too much. I am just at the beginning but with patience, consistent time and habit, I believe we can get her used to the brushing. We hope that it will become for her a routine that she enjoys. We also tired with lots of exercise in the day to get her to relax before we try brushing, she need to spent her energy. Taking care of a Samoyed as first time owner is exhausting, it feels like we are taking care of a newborn, but we are overjoyed each time she makes progress , she has been with us for tree weeks now and we are establishing a good relationship. We are home full time and have outside help.
@@kellyo5521 Hello, We are not the best at grooming her, we give her treats to chew while another person brush her. We are never able to do a complete brushing. We had to give her a bath after a meeting with a skunk, thankfully we already had a special shampoo for that. So we rely on a professional groomer every 6 weeks.Their expertise is priceless. Whenever we bring her there, she is torn between two urges: to go meet the nice lady and to escape her grooming. It is quite a funny dance to watch. But once she is there she complies. She will never get used to the blower but that is not a problem for the session. We discovered the she really needs to be shaved between her toes because she slides on the vinyl flooring. She has become a really nice , easygoing dog who loves people as much as dogs. She socialize well at the park. She is the neighborhood mascot, she has her fan club. We noticed something really cute of her; she will protect the little dogs from the other big dogs, she is really good with puppies. She will also be concerned when she hears a little kid cry and she tries to protect and console them. One day at the park a little guy, maybe three year old was knocked down by a large and excited dog. The little guy was crying sitting on the ground. NIshka went to him concerned, she sniffed him and started to circle him to prevent the large dog from coming back to disturb the little guy. WE were amazed! Nishka is never alone, she is always with her pack of hoomans. She needs our attention all the time. We are getting another samoyed soon, when the pup will be 8 weeks old. We hope that she will not be jealous of Yoko. WE hope that they will be good company for each other. I am wondering how the dynamic will change and it will be interesting to discover the personality of the new arrival. To recap, Samoyeds need grooming , attention and they are wonderfull pets. WE are not bothered by the shedding, it is less than we expected. I guess the grooming takes care of the lot of fluff. Thanks.
@@chapman1569 Wow thank you for the kind and thorough reply! This is really helpful to read. I'm so glad you find a system that works for you all and that Nishka is such a wonderful, caring dog - what an amazing story at the park! That's great to hear about the shedding with proper grooming and the attention-seeking. It sounds like she's great with puppies so hopefully she will be a mentor for Yoko, too :) Congrats on your second Samoyed!
Thank you for this tutorial video, just got my 2 month old girl Samoyed puppy two days ago and I have a 9 month old boy Japanese Akita, this video is helpful for double coated dogs. Watching this video I learned a lot, learned what I'm supposed to do and what not to do.
And they know they look good after a good brushing! Mine traveled with me when I was playing music and people would see him in my van ! He’d sit in my seat with paws on the top of steering wheel! I’d take a break and take several people to meet King tut! He’d talk to them and would love all the affection!
I don’t own one yet but I’m leaning towards it. I own Pyrenees with similar coats so this video was very interesting and informative. I like to do a tail brush technique that uses my chest and belly and forearm to pin the tail and fur against me. Then I brush the tail out against the apron. This way prevents tugging on the furs as much. Thank you for the video.
My boss does the same thing, it's fine if you do it soft you can't check if it's completely brushed, so you're wrong we need to do that. I know this because I work as a groomer and we do this too. Yea the dog doesn't like it but it needs to be done.
I guess a bit but to be honest dog people tend not to mess around as much as pet people do. They tend to know that the dog isn't about to die so they just get on and get the job done.
Excellent video, been looking on RU-vid for a grooming video like this to get more knowledge of how to groom my Samoyed properly. I usually give him a 10-20min brush at the park everyday when I walk him. Great video, thank you!
Thank you for the very informative and well done video. In 3 weeks we'll be bringing home our 8 week old female samoyed. She'll be my 4th Samoyed since 1989. The previous 3 have gone to groomers but I'm determined to groom this one myself as much as possible. The most important thing I learned in this video was to brush out before bathing. I've always given mine a bath first. Now I see that was the worst thing to do. I'll be starting grooming early on with this puppy so she gets used to it and isn't afraid to be groomed.
Idk why so many people in the comments are saying she’s terrible and treating the puppy too roughly. She is one of the top breeders of this breed in America. Y’all really need to calm down because I’m sure she knows what she’s doing. otherwise, she wouldn’t be known as a top breeder...
No, it's better to do that, instead of petting the dog with the brush, but don't brush too hard or dog will get brush burn. Plus Samoyed are double coated which is really thick hair so it's important to really brush.
For a full bath(shampoo) 5 times a year, and for this process once a month without washing. If the Samoyed gets mud on it or something rinse him or her in warm water☺️
I like to give mine a good brush once a week and then once every 2 months ill do the full brush and with a bath and brush if they're really dirty or when they are losing their undercoat.
If you have a high CFM dryer and regularly use that and brushing, sams can be washed 4 times a year only (depending on how much time they spend rolling around and hanging out in dirty backyards). The dryer is key.
How often are you supposed to groom a Samoyed like this for 3 hrs? If you line brushed a Samoyed casually every day, would it keep the dog constantly pristine and thus reduce the number of official grooming sessions or at least reduce how laborious an official grooming session would be ?
I really dislike poo on a dogs backside. I am going to cut the hair in that region, just like I did with my Collie before. What kind of shampoo do you use?
Hi Polar Mist, I'd love to know where you bought your haunch holder from? I breed samoyeds in Australia and I've never seen anything like it! Love to add it to my grooming collection :D
She is rough, but Samoyed fur is brushed in opposing direction so that it stands away from the skin. That's what makes the coat weatherproof and breathable for the dog.
Not with this kind of dog. If you only brush In one direction, as you would do with a short haired dog, all the hair close to the skin would never get combed. When the dog is washed and then not combed right down to the skin, by combing in several directions the hair doesnt dry completely, then it becomes itchy making them chew at it and they develop hot spots.
Wow the puppy and male are beautiful, the male looks just like my Nanook his show name was Spirit Of Light in the Samoyed 2004 National Specialy he won Winners dog became a Champion that day. I recently had to put my girl Natasha down 5 months ago which devastated me she was Nanook's great granddaughter she just turned 7yrs she had Addison disease and type 2 diabetes we had to put her in the hospital have 2 blood transfusions stayed for a week we spent 12 thousand dollars to save her life she was only 5 yrs then. I have had 5 Sammies 2 were champions and Nanook won the National and BISS BOB and many more his picture was in the magazine. I have been so devastated losing my last girl at only 7. You had looked at Nanook as a judge and really liked him his face but you said he was out of coat which he was that was in 2005 year after he won the National 2004. My girl was Ch. CallingAllAngels aka Kianna she went out 3 or 4 times became a champion but was never enter for Special she died in my arms on my lap didn't even know she was sick. I have always admired your Sammies just beautiful. Blessings Jeannie DeerHealer Samoyed Lover 🦌💖💖
Thank you for your kind words. I hope one day soon to get another Samoyed, after having 5 Samoyed over 30yrs can't get ANY other breed though I thought of a Husky but Samoyeds will always have my heart my first girl lived to 17yrs. 🐾🐾🐾 Many Blessings of Light!!☆☆☆ Jeannie DeerHealer 🦌🐾
This is the MOST gentle way to groom one of these heavily furred dogs. Most videos out there on grooming these dogs are so misinformed. I get that people want to be gentle, so following these techniques leads to the least discomfort and longterm discomfort for the dog. A poorly groomed Sammy winds up with loads of fur still buried on them, the use of razer tools, grooming strips, surface brushing, and other poor techniques, leaves the dog full of fur, which ultimately gets matted, leads to overheating in the summer, and in the end the owner relegates the dog to a backyard as they tire of the fur all over their house.
My Samoyed pup is 13 weeks. Any tips for grooming / clipping her backside? I have sheep shears (long story) but no idea how to use them on her derrière and I don’t want to mess up. But I need to stay on top of it before it gets matted. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 😊
HI, watch the video on how to line brush and comb, you don't want to shear a Samoyed, many times the coat will not grow back properly. Owing a coated breed it does require time and keeping up with the brushing, especially getting the loose under coat out before it gets matted and packed in. If you keep up on that it will not take long to do a though grooming. Set a day aside a week for brushing/combing the dog and stick to it. If the dog gets some poop on its bottom, takes some powder, baby powder is fine, on the poopy area and then take the slicker brush and just brush it off, works great. Good luck
She's focused on time most likely. I rather take my time. Give my Sammy a break then go back & finish. I prefer my Sammy to be comfortable & enjoy the experience.
Polar Mist Here Comes Trouble and Cabakas Gina of Rock Star are the great x 2 grandparents of our Little Miss Mochi. I would love to show her to you someday.
Great video! I learned a lot! I feel that wider coarse comb could really help my grooming arsenal. It's hard to tell which one it is on the website. Do you know the full name or number?
Can you say how called your shampoo , and other groom things what you use here on this video. We are almost have this kind of dog, and we r in Ukraine have no nothin special for samoyeds . Thank you so much.
Any hypoallergenic shampoo should be fine. No tears or oatmeal based. No dishwashing liquids. Can you order from Europe? A baby shampoo would work too, as long as it is clear with no dyes as the fur will pick that up. Any pin brush, any wide tooth dog comb will work. Just use what you got. Most important is how...
If i got one i will name it Cloudy Get it? Bec it's like a cloud bec it all white 🤦♀️ Anyways i really want to get one i will get one SAP and yeah i love puppies and all animals 😁
You have to months of research and they are not the best dogs for beginners I know cause I have one. Plus they are very vocal dogs. Anyways do your research before getting any kind of pet.
It's fine the dog is fine, when you have matts on the dog and brushing it out, yea the dog will not like it but got to keep brushing, that's the proper and professional way of dog grooming.
Show Sheen makes the coat softer than it normally would be, the coat is supposed to stand off and be a bit course for the outer coat, the judge would be looking for correct texture. I will use it when I get ready to brush and comb out the dog but not after the bath.
@@cchir0n Pin brushes have very fine teeth and a lot of them, so they can grab more of the undercoat. Leaving undercoat in the dog can lead to a whole lot of discomfort for the dog. They can get heat stroke as they build up more and more fur. This is unfair to the dog. Use all the tools she lists...after 50 years of training and breeding Sams, she knows what she is doing.
Oh! So many groomers don’t know how to groom a Sammy. They want to groom them like a chow. Oy! The worst! So sad to see them trim their tails and legs.
