I’m a do it yourself person myself and I have to say this is one of the best videos I’ve seen. Extremely informative and easy directions. Your soft spoken and easy to listen to. And yes you spoil your dog as I have done as well. Great Job😊
Great Job Girlfriend! I'm super impressed. I love how you interact with him. He obviously loves and trusts you. Kudos. Thanks for setting an amazing example and showing others how it can be done at home.
Aw thank you so much!! Glad the video inspired you to groom on your own! Make sure to pick up some treats on your target run. For me, it required patience .. and a ton of treats!
Do not apply ANY flea or tick treatment until 48 hours after a bath. Since they use the natural oils in the skin to spread, and bathing strips those oils, it could render it useless. Also, rubbing the product in will not help, but hurt. Please always read the instructions on whatever you use, as dogs skin is super sensitive and applying incorrectly could damage the skin :) Cute dog!! Great job :)
I am a groomer and for the most part, you did a good job. I would encourage you to watch a professional groomer in person or on video to correct just a few things. For example, trimming near the armpit with scissors and trimming around the eyes with scissors pointed towards the dog. I would encourage your viewers to do the same.
That was a very helpful and inspiring video. Thank you! I’ve been thinking about grooming my two Morkies myself as the professional dog groomers want $60 dollars each. Thanks again 😃
You are AWESOME! Watching this makes me realize two things: 1) You'd be a great professional groomer. 2) I realize why I PAY someone to groom my morkie! Thanks for the insight!
ha! thank you :) Don't get me wrong I still do take my puppy to the groomer once ina while. You also pay for dental care, ear care and nail care that I didn't cover in the video!
Thank you for the close up view of exactly how you protect the skin with your fingers as you cut. I also like the fabulous table top that you painted. Good job, keep rolling, Lady!
Thank you for a great video! I have a Morkie and I have been grooming him myself also but your video gave me a few tips of what to do differently! You did a great job!
Teddy P be soooooo chill!!!!! I love him!!! Bella my Morkie is super curly and has super straight face and head hair but I'm going to clip her myself as I know how I like her cut. Thank you for sharing such a cutie with us. He's precious!!!
What a good boy he is! I have a long hair doxie and I need to try and groom her. I'm paranoid about taking her somewhere because I don't want her to stress out! I'm scared to trim her nails because they are solid black! I don't want to hurt her!
+Beauty By Malinda i leave the nail trimming to my husband! Teddy doesn't like it too much but I found that a dremel works better than nail clippers (he has darker nails too).
Beauty By Malinda > I have same issues with my puppy Ryder, multiple sources told me same advice for clipping black nails, just to clip a little bit at a time then wait 7-10 days and clip again until desired length is achieved. I just gave her ,her first haircut and nail clipping and everything went perfect no issues with her nails when I did as directed and only clipped a little bit and filed it smooth. Shave took forever because she had so much long and thick fur that it clogged up the clippers consistently, not allowing them to cut effectively until they were wiped off, removed guard and cleared out the hair underneath the guard in between it and the blade.

Much more efficient after noticing the problem and staying up on hair removal especially when cutting seems slow or uneven suddenly.
Thanks for these tips and video! We adopted a Morkie that we had fostered for the shelter and she sits very well but I needed tips so the clip marks didn't show on her back. Our other dog is a Maltipoo and she's more curly so the lines don't show. Your Teddy is adorable!!
Awesome job! He looks like my dog but my dog is black. And I groom him myself too after a terrible incident at the groomers. I learned some very useful techniques from you for my next grooming session. Thank you
Your video is so relaxing to watch I think it's the music in the background, lol. I just started grooming my Ttoodle at home too. I am so blessed my pup is so calm and a good breed like yours. It makes it much easier and saves a whole bundle of money. Plus I feel as she comes home looking scared every time she gets back from petsmart. Little do you know it's super easy to groom at home! I bought my kit on amazon with the whole set, clippers, comb nail clippers etc. your dog is really cute. Great video!
Kim, thank you so so much!! Yes, it's really easy when they keep still - helps grooming go much faster! Thanks so much for the kind words - I really appreciate it
, my dog is a Maltese Yorkshire terrier mix it’s so hard grooming her belly it takes hours but this definitely helped me out fina try this method tomorrow ! Thanks so much I enjoy the video double thumbs up !
You make it look so easy to do (but I know it's not). I'm definitely going to give it a try. My morkie, Yogi, is blondealso; just like Teddy. Thanks so much for your video. Oh, favorite candy....Zero chocolate bars....HEAVEN!
Yay! So glad you found this helpful. I definitely wish I knew how to groom teddy when he was a tiny puppy since I couldn't bring him to the groomer for weeks!
Don't be fooled ! Getting here took a lot of time, patience, and treats! LOL. Be patient with your dog and definitely be consistent. I would say that's the most important thing :) Good luck!
Thanks for your video. I am going to start grooming my dogs i have four that have to be groomed and it costs me quite a bit of money. I believe I can do this you made it look easy. Wish me luck Thanks again.
I definitely encourage dog grooming! I just showed the basics in my video but bear in mind you should be cleaning their ears and clipping their nails :) It definitely takes practice (teddy used to move a ton!) but they will get used to it and your wallet will thank you !
I received my Wahl clipper and scissors set from Amazon and did my first dog grooming. I put a wide board over the bathroom sink for a grooming stand. Little Andi my 10 pound terrier didn't mind a bit. She is used to getting clipped. I stopped a few times to oil the clippers and make sure they weren't heating up. It looks like I need more practice. lol. Thanks.
I'm glad you were able to start grooming! It takes a bit of practice for sure. If the cut looks choppy I find it helpful to keep passing over the same area until it looks smooth. It's definitely a learning curve though. I would say it took me a solid 3 grooming sessions to get a length/style I like on Teddy.
biggest teddy fan from south korea. i had a baby doggie brother looks just like him. i met him on my 7th birth day and he passed away last year at 17 years old. i miss him so much, he was my brother, son, father, and friend.i google anything related to him. then i found this video. he was unique dog, when he walks around people ask me about his breed and always praise hie shiny golden hair. little grumpy, childish, liked little boys as a friend, loved sunbathing, protect my mom and me all the time, always waiting for us, loved us , cheered us. we used to call him teddy too. he did look like teddy bear. so does your teddy bear. teddy even have his small detail. pinky skin, Dermatitis back of neck, long skinny tail, the way belly and leg hair grows, body size, shiny hair. facial and body expression , little bit of dark brown hair on mustache, the way ear hair grow faster, the spot of black mole point. my mom and i got shocked and happy to see a dog looks just like him. even teddy bear in this video looks a lot more alike than video and picture of my brother in my phone. just wanna thank you for giving me big happiness to feel like seeing my brother again. especially bath part brings me so many memory. i checked your facebook. thank you again for sharing this precious video. my mom says half kidding, and half serious we should buy bunch of present for teddy bear and flying to ny just to meet teddy. i am gonna watch another your video one by one. because you have a energy that makes someone more happy and bright. love to you and teddy!! -ps my mom even bookmarked this video to watch for cheer her up.haha
Thank you so, so, so much for your kind words! I can't believe our dogs are so similar down to the smallest detail! If you're on social media tag me on the photos of your teddy bear! I'd love to see how he looks too!! Just for you guys I'm going to make sure he's in some of my videos for you to watch and bring back good memories of your dog. I'm so sorry for your loss - I know they're not just pets but a part of our family. Your comment made my day and I'm so happy Teddy brings you and your mom comfort
Great job! beautiful dog! wish I could get brave enough to try..I did pick up some tips and what kind of tools I need. Thanks and keep the videos coming!
Thank you for this! It actually looks easier than I thought it would be. My Bella is a maltese cross with a similar coat to your dog but she is black and white in colour. She needs to be groomed but she has a partial tear in her CCL and will only let me touch her leg as it is sensitive, so going to the groomer this summer won't be easy. I'm going to give it a go tomorrow myself, hopefully she looks as good as your dog at the end!
+Jessica Whitley thank you! I'm glad you found the tips helpful! Good luck with the grooming! It took me a solid 3 attempts when I first started grooming teddy before I actually liked his cut! Don't be discouraged. Practice makes perfect 😊
Awesome video. Our Morkie does NOT let us groom him as well as yours does. It is a battle to trim his hair. Bathing, not so bad. Thank you for sharing. Very helpful.
I notice some dogs enjoy parts of grooming while others don't! Teddy was like this as a pup and eventually got used to it and actually looks forward to it now. I say persistence is key :D
Simply Handmade true! He got traumatized at a groomer shop before, he came back with razor burns et seemed very stressed, when normally he enjoys interacting with people. So i prefer doing it at home, and he looks great. Thank you for you tips, it helped!
very helpful. what a great dog. my Jesse looks somewhat like your Teddy. i may try this at home as she gives the groomer such a bad time with her feet. lol.
