You are allowed to use certain products including color enhancing shampoos, and sprays; you are not allowed to use any permanent coloring agents. Some products just effect how light hits the hair shaft.
I think the handling in the video looked rougher than it probably was. I had a very hard time with Joey's first bath, and I called the breeder, and she told me to handle him very "matter of factly", don't coddle or baby, because this makes them more nervous. I couldn't believe the difference with the next bath, I pretended to be cool and firm, and he responded so much better, as he if had confidence in what I was doing. So let the dog's behavior demonstrate whether you or the groomer are doing a good job. The groomer, who is doing a good job, has a well-behaved dog.
