Hey Edith. i'm sure you are SUPER busy with your new pup!! WELCOME EVIE!!!! so exciting! but i video taped how i groom Layla tonight. i don't actually GROOM her in the videos because i'm not sure you'd be able to hear me with the clippers on... I hope this is what you wanted... if you want a more detailed video of something in particular let me know

I hope it is detailed enough... i do this every weekend so to me it is second nature so don't hesitate to say.. hey.. i really dont' get... whatever

There are 6 videos in total coming.. the first one is JUST how excited layla is to get groomed (it's the treats.. there is no way i'd be able to do it without the treats

Hope this helps!

ok it SOUNDS like i have lisp in this video... i don't... nto sure what happened there... perhaps the quality of my camera

ok this video got cut off... ran out of time on my camera... but basically if you trim her belly when she is on her hind legs you can get the side hair without having to worry about getting that fold of skin... Also i use the small clipper (that i show you in the next clip) and put her on the back on the ground to get that hair...

i think what you specifically asked for was how to do the face.. this is THE hardest part... because she hates it.. lol.. well she USED to... still isnt' crazy about it but she now udnerstands that each time i do it.. she gets a small treat.. and even though she might jump or flich.. i hold on and finish the cut before she gets anything... i usually have my mom on the other side holding her but she was manning the camera

i part her hair in the middle ot make sure i get the hair that is usually pulled back in a clip. oh crap id din't show you how i do around her eyes.. if you want that let me know

Thanks for sharing that - it's nice to watch a video instead of trying to read instructions.

if ANYONE has questions i'm MORE than happy to help

i'm so glad i'd made the decision to groom at home! saved LOTS of money and layla hated going to the groomers

These videos are great visuals on how to groom our babies....

I have a ??? how do you groom them around the eyes so that the hair doesn't get into their eyes????

i know i TOTALLY forgot that... i take small scissors that you'll see me use on her ears... and i just trim the ones that are goign into her eyes.. i leave the rest because i would love for them to grow out and not be a problem.. so if they are in front of her eyes i get rid of them.. otehrwise they stay and every morning i have to use a warm washcloth and wet them down so they will lay flat

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the videos! They are so much help. I am interested in seeing the eyes and ears groomed. Where did you get the table , clippers and scissors? And . . . . what kind are they? Thank you so much for sharing.

ok ears is loading.. it will be the next one up

eyes.. i just posted below how i do it but i'll make a video of that tomorrow and post it on here

I use ANDIS clippers... were kinda on the expensive side but i only wanted to buy them once and i wanted them to last.. the comb is also Andis... i got that and the grooming table (30 dollars) from petedge.com the scissors i bought from petsmart and they were 25 dollars.. they are great... really sharp.. i've had them for about a year.. maybe less and havne't had to sharpen them yet..

bren4bears · 02-09-2008, 06:23 PM

Do you ever use a curved scissor or just the short straight ones?

i only use the straight ones because i have never had a need for the others and not totally sure what i would do with them

ok i was wrong.. next will be chin and the "behind" area.. then ears and then finally feet... it's taking a while to upload but it's coming

Thank you so much for the videos. They have DEFINITELY BOOSTED my CONFIDENCE! Now I am anxious to get started grooming Shyasha myself. Just have to find and purchase all the necessary supplies. And thanks to little Layla for being such a good model.
