Oh man, I have tried so many methods….nasal strips, taping, backer rods, even mole foam (I was doing pieces too large and not letting the glue set long enough). Every single method my dog would violently shake off the same day. So far, this has been the best method! My corso has a longer crop and is already 6months old so I am getting worried they won’t stand but this looks the best out of all the methods and seems to be the most comfortable for him too! Thank you for this video, it was extremely helpful.
I’m currently in this same spot. One ear is up pretty well, but the other is giving me a hard time. I’m wondering if it’s because he’s teething now. How has your dog progressed ?
Thank you so much for posting this video!! I normally use the backerod method for my Standard and Giant Schnauzers. However these last two pups ear bells are to shallow to hold the backerod. I was getting a little desperate to find something to keep the ears up. Your technique is working like a charm!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for this video! I've always used pipe insulation to post my great danes ears. I definitely want to try out a more breathable method and have heard really good things about the moleskin methods. Where do you find the glue stick pens? Do you get them at a medical supply store as well?
Am currently trying so many ways. We want to try this, do you have a list of supplies and where you get them? Mostly the glue stick and the type of tape. Any find the stick anywhere and the tapes we try aren’t sting enough. Thanks for the video, your help would be appreciated.
My Boxer is now 16 weeks. We've tried several different methods with her and the ears just aren't staying up. I'm wondering if it's now that her cartledge has already set-up!?! This has been going on for almost two months!
The puppies ears opposite the bells like the straight part that’s to the middle of her head are folding back like a taco. Would you taping them folded back not make them want to stay folded back? I hope that makes sense lol. I got my puppy when she was older and that front part is folded back on hers.
Hello i noticed you said you crop your pups yourself I need some tips on how to do my pups myself it would save so much money and the safest way to do it thank you!
Does cropping a dogs ears actually benefit the dog or the owner? If there is no ear flap, what protects the inside of the ear from the elements, insects, dirt etc? I'd be interested to see the side affects of the glue on the ear, once the cropping is complete!!
@@monkeeblue they actually have some more fluff inside their ear to protect it. Dogs with natural floppy ears don't have this. So the ears of a dog with cropped ears need more care
@@jackal4782 Not in my experience. and I've never read any supporting veterinary articles that say this (the fluff business). .Natural flop eared dogs I've owned over the past 35 yrs (Labs, German Shorthaired Pointer, Dalmatian, Jack Russell terrier) needed way more care than the natural prick eared dogs and my cropped dog. (I've owned and shown English Bull Terriers, and owned American Rat Terriers, Collies, German Shepherd). If you've got an academic link from a reliable source to support this point of view I'd be interested in a link to it.
@@monkeeblue I don't mean natural floops. Those are kinda shielded by the fact that those dogs have folded ears. If you crop floppy ears it's more Vulnerable for infection bacteria ect.
Are you serious people actually crop dogs ears in the US. That’s just disgusting. Thank god it’s illegal in Australia to dock tails but ears?never heard of that. Unnecessary and cruel.
If you where doing a bit more of research you would know that they crop the ears so in the future they don't get a lot of ears infections and their tale as well. I didn't do it and it ended up costing me 2500 pounds to make him better.
Docking and ear cropping in dogs that deal with predators is actually very beneficial to the dog and helps prevent injury. For the show ring, no need to do this. But I’m true working dogs it is.
