omg people, this is not a puppy, its a toy. its a poodle, and its groomed on a regular basis. she's not being rough or mean to this dog, she's grooming it (and very well, btw). this is an hour out of this dog's life every couple of months. this dog, while feisty at times, is quite well behaved. you all need to keep in mind, that they are in a convention hall full of people, sounds, smells, and tons of other dogs. the fact that she could keep the dog on the table in the first place means that both the dog and the groomer are comfortable. also, she had to keep maneuvering the dog for the camera, when normally she would position herself rather than the dog. ya'll need to calm down and listen to the groomer rather than throwing a fit because she's doing her job.
The groomer is exemplary. The DOG on the other hand is a pain. I don't think this dog is well behaved. I think she's awful. Bad job on the part of the owner for not training that dog to be better.
People expect us to be super lenient with the dogs at all times when we are holding sharp tools that in as quick as a millisecond can cause a severe injury. If you were trying to cut your child’s hair and they went to put they’re hands on their head or hair, I’m almost positive you would become very stern with them bc it’s dangerous. Same concept with dogs and them getting groomed.
I am a professional groomer and I have had the pleasure of taking some classes from Diane at Atlanta pet fair one of the largest grooming shows in the country .. People who are making comments about her being to aggressive have no idea what the hell they are talking about . You are watch one of the worlds best groomers she is up on the ranks of top groomers in this country and internationally . These videos are from shows for groomers that teach us the latest things going on in the grooming world . thousands of pet groomers show up every year to learn from these groomers . this is a true art that is not easy . over 50 percent of all people who go to grooming school and pay thousands of dollars to go to school quit within the first year .
I’m no groomer, but I’ve never felt the entire time that she was mean to the dog. I think she handled her very well and she spoke to her softly and gentle
I have owned and loved poodles for almost two decades, groomed them at home, and had groomers do them too. This woman is kind and professional. If she had to take two hours to groom the dog, no one would book with her because she'd have to charge a hundred dollars to make it worth her time. Most poodles fidget, and FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY AROUND CUTTING IMPLEMENTS, they MUST be firmly held. The dog is fine, and not traumatized. My dogs play with each other far more roughly than she ever handled this one. You of the snowflake generation, save your tears for some poor dog left abandoned and starving and out in the elements. Do your good deeds by adopting some sweet shelter dog scheduled for kill, and get off the back of this nice, calm, professional woman trying to do her job.
Im a groomer. She's not hurting the dog. They are in a intense environment, theres alot going on. She probably has all of 30 to 45 min to teach. And the dog probably hasnt been to potty. No dog does well in these circumstances
bro, chill out. Anyone who is complaining is probably someone who doesn't know better so their opinion on the matter literally doesn't matter. Maybe you should be less insulted by people being worried for a dog. Especially if you're calling those people snowflakes. 💁 You seem like quite the snowflake
I went down to the comments expecting people (who have no idea what they are talking about) to complain about how “rough” the groomer is handling the dog. Of course I did. No, she isn’t being rough with the dog. She’s just doing her job.
For people who don’t own a poodle/understand them: the reason the dog seemed a little wiggley was because she most likely isn’t brushed at home. Like with brushing knotted hair, if you aren’t used to it, it hurts a little. The more you do it, the most you get used to it. And remember this is a demo so it is don’t pretty quick, my poodle takes 2 hours to do her teddy bear grooming. (Sorry if I’m totally wrong poodle experts, I just know from experience).
This is an awesome cut. wow. I dont know if my toy poodle would be as well behaved. she's so nervous around strangers! With quarentine I havent taken her to the groomers yet. But I think I def will now
This woman is doing a really good job, idk why people are saying that she is being cruel. She has to hold that dog’s head and body still or the dog might get hurt, also its probably not fun for the dog regardless of a “kind groomer.” And most dogs hate having their hair cut.
First time viewing one of these types of videos. I found this strangely relaxing 😌 I don’t have any pets but I do want a toy poodle badly. He or She will show up sometime in my life. This groomer is amazing BTW !
Such a beautiful job on this poodle, I wish someone like her was around where I live. I have a Morkie named Nali who we rescued from our local shelter. It seems as though he was either never groomed or has had horrible experiences at the hands of a groomer. He has also been abused verbally and physically so a lot of things scare him to death. I have trimmed his hair before but it takes a long time since he lays or sits on the side you're trying to trim. It's not every owners fault who have these small dogs who act poorly, some of our babies have come to us when the damage has already been done.
This women is not being rough in any way. In order to groom this dogs face it has to be held she's being very gentle he seems to be a young dog and just needs to learn and accept it. Not being cruel. She did an excellent job considering how fidgety the dog was. That dog was in no pain at any time. If that was my dog I would be embarrassed that she was being so naughty. All dogs faces must be held in that way so they don't get hurt. The dog is young and needs to learn to stand still while being groomEd . That's all she needs too do.
I love to watch all the groomers, I can take all of what they offer me to be a good groomer as I'm learning, I've been certified from Penn Foster and they have shown me - what not to do, and the right way to be a good groomer !
That is the cut I have been looking for with my little guy. I have been getting a puppy cut. I would rather have him fluffy, but not too long. Thank you!
Wtf is wrong with these commenters. This lady is great with the dog! Would love to watch you people saying she's too aggressive with the dog make a video on how YOU scissor a dog this fidgety. Yep. No holding the beard, the ears, the tail because it's gonna hurt the poor poor dog. Let's see if you can ever get a straight or perfectly curved cut in, letting the dog move, sit, lay down, play, fidget all it wants while you wait for it to move to the position you hope it to for a second, just in time for one quick snip. Everyone THINK they can do better. Until they do it themselves
That's the things I do. The dogs can sitting,laying and moving by my groomings. It's a kind of respect for dogs how are in my care. It needs more time of course and it's more work. The customers can stay by me and their dogs. Thanks for your comment.
Voodoo Yam buddy, I watched the entire video and I never saw her pull the dog. She held the dog and the dog pulled while she was holding. This dog was being difficult and she did an excellent job and was very patent. I'm not sure what kind of groomer you are but you obviously need to learn what a hold technique is.
any other real groomers TIRED of comments on every damn video of people grooming dogs saying "oh my god my dog is such a little angel and I would kill anyone who handles and pulls my dogs beard like that" lol
Liv Castellon not a groomer but it does piss me off. This little brat of a dog was super fidgety and distracted by everything going on around it. All things considered she did great. She is at a convention, so she doesn't have hours to spend on a dog, and the pup even gives her kisses at one point. This little dog was just being a little fidget, and when working with sharp tools, the last thing you want is for the dog to move. I'd rather be viewed as being "rough" because I hold the hair under their chin than poke their eye out with shears. And those little dogs... I swear if my Rottweiler behaved like these little biting machines did, people would poop their pants.
Lol, I'm not a groomer and even I'm tired of it. Really what I'm wondering is how I've watched so many of these videos but I don't actually own a dog that requires any kind of cut. How did that happen?
Liv Castellon I'm not a dog groomer but I think that this lady is a wonderful groomer with great talent and she knows what she is doing and she handled that cute baby the correct way thumbs super up beautiful work
All these people saying the groomer handled the dog too rough probably think their dog gets groomed by use of magic. When a dog is moving around THAT much, you can't just pet it and be like "oh, no, don't do that" you have to be firm and show them who's boss.
+Voodoo Yam you must not be a very good groomer if you can't look at this video and realize that she is not pulling the dogs hair. The dog is pulling himself. She is try to hold his head and he is pulling away. By the end of the video the dog has realized that pulling isn't going to get him anywhere and he settles down and let's her work. If you think she's being mean, you should probably quit your job.
@@MissSaintG You don't know what you're talking about. That groomer is WORLD CLASS. The dog is rotten. Rotten dogs are everywhere - but that's the fault of the OWNERS. A person who gets a dog that needs regular haircuts must TRAIN IT TO STAND RELATIVELY STILL. My Standard Poodle will stand like a statue for two hours if necessary. THAT'S HIS JOB.
ThisbeandPyramus first of all this comment is 4 years old so like why? And second of all re read it. I agree with you. I said the groomer WASNT being mean. Jeez dude.
Great job, great explanation on curve cutting. The rude comments below are unnecessary. Apparently they don’t groom and discipline their pets and allow them to be dirty, and free range their entire home. A pet is an animal, they need to be clean in our homes. To many don’t care , they live like pigs, their poor pets aren’t maintained medically nor groomed.
if your not a groomer you wouldn't understand How to handle a dog. Grooming is unnatural to them. it has to be taught. Now unless you want your dog's eye poked or ear chopped off you can't allow the dog to fuss. Plus a lot of toy dogs are fussy and dramatic like your hurting them because the "owners" let them do w.e they want. So even if your just brushing or holding their face they fight a cry. Not because it hurts, just because they want to do what they want. which is not get groomed. So in other words if your not a groomer or can't comprehend the fact your dog will get handled to avoid injury, because he or she was not properly trained or taught no then don't say anything. You "owners" think you can just get a poodle type breed and think its cute, blah blah blah,but not train it to be groomed and get all butt hurt for handling them appropriately. smh.
All I got to say is if your a dog groomer you know how to handle a dog safely, sometimes you need to be more assertive. This lady is doing her job, and. doing it properly. Im sure if she was doing a video of a severly matted dog makeover youd look past a tiny correction like this as being "too rough." A Dogs health, safety and comfort are always first with a good dog groomer. I would like to see anyone try to groom a dog without using any correction. ITS IMPOSSIBLE. But hey people always find something to pick at.
And you are the type of groomer I would NEVER let my dog go to with that entitled attitude. When your handling pets who do not belong to you, you BETTER treat them with care. If the dog gets hurt during grooming it's not the dog or owner's fault, it's the GROOMER's fault for not being careful enough. If you can't handle a hyper dog and then don't take the challenge of grooming a hyper dog. Its not about lack of training on the owner's part, some dogs don't like to get groomed and rightfully so. I wholeheartedly hope that you don't groom a dog with that entitled attitude that you have calling people butt hurt because they don't like how rough this poodle was being handled.
+Marie503874. Lol Are you a groomer? No. Do you know me? No. But just so you know, People love how i groom dogs and people love how i care for them. I treat the dogs good, I just make sure of safety first and if i have to correct the dog i will. and you know what? I havent cut a dog, that proves enough. Also i dont take dogs i cant handle, shit less work and stress for me. You guys just like to talk all this and that in comments because its easy. I would hate to get the both of you as clients, but luckily your just oversensitive people commenting on a video.
+Michelle Wolf sometimes you gotta get stern FOR the safety of the pet if you don't they'll continue to misbehave then what happens when they do while your closing your shears they get cut. but of course we're horrible for trying to train your dog to get used to proper grooming, and it's our fault when your dog bites us, and its our fault when something /anything goes wrong. dogs ARE like children they cry even when they're not in pain because they know you'll stop whatever your doing they may be animals but they know how to manipulate humans. I have never met a fellow groomer that is in this business to cause harm or pain to a pet. That is most definitely not a part of our lifestyle and the safety or the pet is our number one concern. If I had a dog of my own Michelle would definitely BE the kind of groomer I would go to.
@@katherine9798 That's fine. I clip my standard continuously. I never allow one mat to form. Of course, I have an assortment of clippers, scissors, combs, brushes, etc...
You have to handle dogs in a certain way to get the job done quickly and efficiently. I am a dog trainer and a hairstylist. The longer the grooming session the more stressful for the dog and groomer.
Thank you for demonstrating how to make the Teddy bear cut. I've been wanting this look on my mini schnauzer. I'll try this look on her next month. I just groomed her yesterday.
@@acommentator4452 I appreciate your opinion, but this is not about abusing pets. For dog lovers like me, it’s about taking our pet’s grooming to a higher level of caring for them. I would be the first to reject this grooming practice if I knew that it would cause pain to my fur baby.
shes not pulling, shes holding the chin and the dog is pulling. please continue to groom your dogs at home so that groomers dont have to deal with you.
That's no problem to show you my work!!!!! It's only a work with respect and fine feeling for animals and also humans. It NEVER hurts a dog. So easy!!!!!
This an all excellent groomer. I just washed my toy and cut her nails for the first time. Had syptic sticks handy because I had a tiny bleed. Charging my clipper and will try to do this tommorow. With Covid-19 and my retirement, it’s time to learn to groom my toy, since she is so wonderful, that when she goes to doggie heaven ( she is 15 and going strong, but..), I will adopt another one so need to learn to do it. This dog hasn’t been groomed, for awhile. Many for this demo, but that is one hairy dog!!!
you can tell she's been a groomer for years, but she was quite rough. poodle and poodle mix can be commanded w/o the roughness. her technique was awesome!!
i groom my own dog and yes they move alot if not held in place and often my aunts standard poodles came back with many cuts because my aunt only bought her poodles in once or twice a year not every 4 to 6 weeks
Clearly people don't understand what goes on behind closed doors at grooming salons! Accidents happen unfortunately, cutting your own dog by accident is also unfortunate but still happens. She is not being cruel or over handed! I know of groomers who swear and shout and smack clippers over the dogs faces and stab them intentionally with scissors. You can tell if the dog hates the groomer and it's being badly used. They will panic, shake and be so terrified that they will pee themselves. I also know of a grooming shop that almost let a dog hang because they were dealing with a customer! I always tell people get a groomer to come to you and to allow you in the same room otherwise you just don't know what they are doing to your pets!
Very nice work Diane. Its absolutely pleasant to see a dog behave during grooming unlike a you tube groomer "my favorite groomer" where the dogs constantly attack. I could watch you grooming all day. Truly pleasant.
Anyone complaining about how she handled the dog has never held scissors a centimeter from a squirming poodle's eyeball. It would be dangerous for her to not be in control.
Marie503874 she wasn't being 'entitled' AT ALL. She was staying facts. The lady in this video is not handling the dog roughly at all either. When a dog gets hurt during grooming I personally believe it is everyone's fault. It is the owner's fault for taking the dog to get groomed in the first place, knowing that ACCIDENTS HAPPEN, and for not training their dog most of the time, it is the dog's fault for being ridiculous, trying to jump off the table, biting, thrashing, etc, and it is the groomer's fault for continuing to try to groom a dog like that. We HAVE to correct the dogs sometimes... unless you want your dog getting hurt, its absolutely necessary. Saying 'good boy/girl' while a dog is thrashing around or trying to bite the groomer, the scissors, or the clippers doesnt help the problem...it just makes it worse. We are not hurting your dog. They hurt us a LOT more than we could or would ever hurt them. We got into this profession not because we hate dogs...and when we do knick them with out tools it makes our hearts sink. If a dog just stands there and is a statue it would be great, but they don't. Most of them don't like being groomed, and they do dangerous things to try and get away. Plus we have to move them around and hold them FIRMLY, we do this to be SAFE, not to hurt the dog. Not once have I ever corrected the dog or moved it with the dog barking or yelping after...it does. Not. Hurt. Them. If you think she is entitled...then I guess all groomers are, because I guarantee 98% of us would agree with her comment. Get over yourself. If you don't want your dog to be safe, and you want your dog to be babied the entire time...do it yourself...because the dog's safety comes first for us, not the way you view/judge us...you honestly have no idea. Try grooming and then come back and tell us this lady is handling the dog roughly. Absolutely ridiculous. I'm sure you have a dog that continuously acts up and bites, in other words...a groomers nightmare...but we still do them because we care about the dog. I just saw a comment where someone said 'if my dog yelps at a groomers I will never bring them back there again'....so when you leave mats and knots in their fur we'll be sure to leave them in. Or not cut their nails at all and let them become embedded and infected...people are absolutely ridiculous. Yes dogs Yelp when they are not being hurt. We dont become groomers so we can hurt your dogs. Wow. You judge us, but every single day we see dogs come in matted to the skin because owners are too lazy to brush them WHICH PULLS ON THE SKIN AND HURTS YOUR DOG CONSTANTLY. And then they request we brush the mats out instead of shave them so they can look 'cute' and then you get mad because they Yelp in pain?! We see dogs with nails so long they have grown into their feet and pads. They have poop cakes on their butt and fur. They are covered in dirt and pee andfaces, they are infested with fleas and the owner didnt even know, their collars are so tight they embed into the skin, they have puss coming from their eyes, etc etc...yet we are the ones hurting not helping your dog....oooook....
I have never seen a dog being groomed before ... so my initial thought before I read the comments was Awww this is kind of rough... maybe I will learn. Mines just a pup now.
As a groomer I see zero issue with her handling of the dog. People who are not actually professionals do not understand how hard it is to get dogs to stay still while grooming. Especially with a loud environment with lots of people and noise around. The dog was a little fidgety as most would be. She did not scream at or hit the dog in any way, she was just firm. Which some dogs need someone to be firm, but not rough with them to let them know that what they're doing is not OK. Grooming is dangerous, you have sharp object touching an animal who does not understand what you are saying to them 100% and they do not have human comprehension so they do not get what is going on and cannot understand that you need them to just sit still for a little bit and it will be over. Some dogs are fabulous for grooming in a grooming environment but they are easily distracted or freaked out/ upset in this type of environment. It is not rough at all, just firm and she is just trying to get the dog under control so she does not accidentally knick the dog or have it walk off the table when freaking out. It is a frustrating thing to be trying to do a demonstration on a dog who is constantly trying to climb into your arms, back up, or jump off the table. She is an amazing groomer and did a great job!
@@acommentator4452 you have to trim poodles and poodle mixes every 4-6 weeks. It doesn’t matter hairdo. This dog is well taken care of which is more than I can say about other dogs. Complain about mistreatment of dogs, not about proper care, your argument is ridiculous.
That dog has some good hair. What gets me is the owners with the dogs without good hair or dogs all matted, and they have a pic saying, “I want her to look like this!” Smh
I bought professional scissors and clippers to groom my 3 toy poodles cuz taking them to the groomers are very costly, now after this 30 minute video i hope i dont make them too ugly and they wont hate me lol
it's not that this woman groomer is doing it badly, it's that it ought not to be done at all. just a utility cut, taking 10-15 min, as necessary. most owners could do themselves. less stressful for the dog. this over-grooming is for human's vanity. not dog's benefit.
poor doggie. people are obsessed with super groomed toy poodles they don't see the stress this little doggies are under. I have a toy poodle and she is naturally fluffy, I smooth her hair and comb it with a bit of coconut oil and she is adorable and stress free.
DEA DONUM I groom this cut on my two toys while they lay down on the dining room table, they both love grooming day! I don’t know what it’s like to have to groom a dog you don’t know, but the girl in this video seems so sweet, I see no reason that the groomer couldn’t have been softer with her.
My toy poodle has some matting on the legs. Should I shave it off and wait for it to grow back to do the teddy bear cut? I’ve been trying to let the hair grow out so I can prepare him for it. Is there anything else I should do to prepare pup for the groomer?
would i have a lot of tear stains and eye boogers my poodle has one eye that will water up some i think the teddy bare cut is cute also the lamb cut i love ive always keep her clean face since i got her at 11 weeks shes 9 months now
