Kitty Talks Dogs: grooming Rudolph the American Cocker | TRANSGROOM 

Thank you so much! It is an honor for me to share my knowledge, tips and tricks with you all! I'm so happy to see that you enjoy the videos. Kind regards

Thank you so much for you lovely comment. It's my pleasure to share my knowledge with you.

Ohhh thank you . I am doing the best I can, and the most important I can say, is that I love dogs and love grooming. Those 2 together is a perfect match :-)

Thank you Marianne for your lovely message. Happy that we could help you with the groom of your dog. Kind regards,

Hello Mary, below all my videos there is a list that takes you to the website if you click on teh products, you will love the shampoo and conditioners. Thank you for watching my videos

thank you for your very nice comment . it's my pleasure en mission to share my passion . please take a look below to our website for the products you can use for your dog : transgroom.com/en/advice/thank-you-shampoo-and-conditioner-.html kind regards,

Just want to come back about the price you payed for grooming. We are not in the possibility to judge about pricing. cause it depends from groomer to groomer. Reckon that a groomer works approximately 3 - 4 hours on a cocker. the price is correct . if the techniques are correct . hope you understand that price.

Hello Gustavo, thank you for your comment and questions. To get to your question, it all depends on how long the coat has been scissored ? Was it just one time or several times? We can't assure the coat will grow back like before. It can be curly and wooly. Use good products to hold the coat straight , like shampoo, conditioner and sprays. To have the normale coat structure back like it should be , never let the coat be shaved or scissored anymore. It will take some time, but if you try to strip the coat again and taking the wool out, it should work. I wish you all the luck !!

I would get a refund because for a shave down that is too much. I would have told you I didn't know how to hand strip if you had asked, but I have the knives and stones and am more than willing to learn! I would have made a deal with ya for practicing on your dog. I'm sorry, you should speak to your groomer and see why she didn't admit to not knowing how to hand strip. Good luck!

Hello Tammy, sounds like a difficult situation for you and the dog! It can't be comfortable for him to have these matts. Keeping the coat short and brushing often is probably the best option. Shaving the matts out is the most comfortable way of dealing with them. We groomed a senior Cocker some time ago (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SeyCV6LXN0Q.html) We also cut the coat very short for maintenance. It is still important to do some CARDING! This way the dead hair, the wool, goes out of the coat and doesn't have the chance to tangle up in the other hairs. Kind regards

Hello Aiyana, I was 14 Years old. when i started in the doggrooming world. So i really had a young age .

Thank you Lynn for your nice comment. please keep on following us for more video's. Kind regards

You're very welcome Paul. You happen to own an American Cocker yourself?

@@TransgroomTV Hi Kitty, unfortunately I don't but have always be interested in the breed.

Hi Paul. It's a very interesting breed indeed. You got me wondering. You're looking into the breed now or planning on getting one?

Hello Carolina, We are happy we can help & advice you. Is you Ami being sterilized or castrated ? Cause that can give a lot of wool. We definitely advice to use a stripping stone, that will help you in maintaining his coat and take out the wool. A professional groomer will help you on the way. Sometimes, it's a long road to find the best groomer for you and your dog. But I am sure, there are a lot of good groomers in the world that will groom your dog very nice .

Hi lylli, thank you for your message. There are some really good groomer out there in the big grooming world. the most important issue is that you have to trust your groomer. Check the references , have a talk first , see what a feeling the groomer gives you . it's a process . But i know of my experience there are a lot of good groomers. Kind regards

Hello Jamie, I would not recommend the stone for Labs. it would just not work , the hair it to short. On the other hand, for Goldens this is a perfect stone, to pull out the longer hairs , the hairs on the ears, and creating a natural model on the Golden. if you are looking for a tool shading , we can recommend this one: transgroom.com/en/products/show-tech-shed-stopper-large-deshedding-tool-for-dogs

Hello Christine, I would love to come over but I live in Belgium New York is my favorite city. Follow your gut feeling and I am sure you wil find a good pasionate groomer. If you keep strugling please contact me again I can help. I have so many Friends that groom I can ask around for you. Many pasionate grooming greetings from Kitty D

@@TransgroomTV Hi Kitty, thank you so much for getting back to me. I reached out to a friend of mine who works in a vet's office and she told me she grooms her own dogs and offered to help me out. I enjoy watching your videos. You are so good with all the dogs.

There are really soft brushes on the market, look at the link below for the soft slicker brush we have : transgroom.com/en/products/yento-show-coat-slicker-large-slicker-brush-for-dogs-and-cats This is a really soft slicker, but still very effective to brush out. If we can help you further , please don't hesitate to contact us . Kind regards,

Hallo Evelien dank je wel voor je vraag, ik zou geen Terrier of schnauzer wassen die 3 maand of langer niet is getrimd maar een Americaanse cocker die alle 8 of 10 weken word getrimd wel, ik heb eigenlijk nog nooit klachten gehad van trim exzeem ik hoop dat dit antwoord goed is en anders mag je me altijd contacteren. vriendelijke groeten Kitty

Dankjewel voor je antwoord Kitty! Hier kan ik wat mee! Groeten, Evelien

Hello Magdaline, thank you for your feedback . From the moment the back and sides are clipped , the coat changes . on a young age you can recover the coat and handstrip step by step . maybe this is an option ? thank you for your feedback . Kind regards. Kitty

Hello Heather , yes some dogs when they get older the quick can be very long and I know that it must be very uncomfortable for the dog not to be walking on the pads but the nails are kind of in the way to walk normal. I would use the nail grinder and do this like weekly. The nail grinder is very easy in use and because it's quick rotation you can get really close to the quick without making the dogs nail bleed. transgroom.com/en/products?search=grinder good luck, I hope this helped you stay safe

Hello Mary , thank you, I wil see what I can do to do another yorky

Thank you Joan.

Wow, thank you so much for the kind words! We are always happy to help any groomer expand their knowledge and become the best groomer they can be! You should never apologize for wanting to learn more! We are currently posting a 5-part series on how to create a rolling coat on a Brussels Griffon, these videos are also all about stripping and carding. You can watch the first one here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9D_9kPqqNAE.html . You can also follow the process on our website: transgroom.com/en/news The difference between carding and stripping is: with carding you take most of the undercoat, the wool, out. These are hairs that grow in the same follicle as the top coat but have to come out. If there is too much undercoat in one follicle there won't be any place for the top coat to grow and the topcoat will get thinner, it will get another texture and lighter colour and it will not look good. The more undercoat you take out , the shinier the coat will be, the undercoat keeps the coat dull. For carding you place your stripping knife in a 45° angle and comb with the direction of the coat growth. When you strip, you strip away the topcoat. You do this so that the follicle has more space for new hair to grow. The new hair will break through the skin in about 4 weeks. With stripping you can create all kind of styles, you can leave an area longer or strip it shorter and so on. How much you strip and in which areas depends on the dog, the breed, and the type of coat (rolling coat or staged coat). I hope this answers your questions! If something it unclear, don't hesitate to ask!

Transgroom TV Thank you so much, I will watch them with much gratitude!! You are the best!! Many Blessings to you and yours!!🤓❤️🙏
