Who Does thier Own Grooming? Who does thier own gromming and how did you learn? |
I do but don't do much other than: brush his hair, clip his nails once every 2 weeks, give him a bath once a week and brush his teeth nightly . . . Tiger hasn't gotten much hair at almost 6 months old so I am still letting it grow. :( |
I do !!....I learned having a stiff drink closeby helps :p :p just kidding.... I only do the basics....ears...feet..booty.....faces....and have never done a total cut. For that I think I'd leave it to the professionals.... This is a site that you can look at for some ideas...http://www.ytca.org/grooming_clips1.html |
I have groomed my own Shihtzu for 4 years now. I am looking forward to doing my Yorkie. I took a basic grooming class. The woman was fantastic. She allowed us to take our own dog and only had 4 dogs to a class. I bought an expensive set of clippers and practiced lots. I use a blade that gives my shihtzu a puppy look cut. My Yorkie is almost 5 months so I will probably give him a haircut in a month. |
i groom my boys i did pretty much trial and error sometimes it came out bad and i learn what not to do |
I've always groomed my own yorkies, and I learned from looking at pictures and knowing how I like them to look. I use a good pair of clippers and scissors. It really isn't that difficult once you get the hang of it - the first few cuts will probably look a little choppy, but with practice will improve. I give them a modified schnauzer cut - hair longer on the legs and shorter on the body. However, I always make sure the face is all 'yorkie'. :) |
all i do with lexi is her butt and the hair between her eyes .. |

I do Pippa's hair cutting/brushing etc. I am a human hairdresser so just adapt from my daily job :p |
I do Coco's full grooming, I pluck her ear hairs, her nails and trim her coat. I just learned through trial and error. My poor baby has had a few bald spots and bloody nails in the past but mommy learned eventually. I just feel more comfortable grooming her myself, so I don't have to drop her off anywhere and make her nervous. Plus if I screw up I can only get mad at me. |
Oh, I wish I had your patience and strength! I have the most wonderful groomer that I sent my other dog to, and now Topher goes to her. He had his first 'session' with her a couple of weeks ago. His hair wasn't very long, but she cleaned it up nicely and he looked beautiful...for about a day...lol...he's a typical little boy for sure! I bath him every week or so and blow dry him and brush him, but as far as I'm concerned anyone who can do this well deserves such praise because it certainly is a talent. When I do it he comes out looking nothing like when the groomer does it!!lol I'd love to be able to do it but I think I'll leave it to the groomer for now! |
I can't groom my babies except for the basics. I just given them baths, blow dry (I just ordered a hands-free dryer that I'm really excited about but haven't used yet :D ) and brush. Abbie lets me brush her teeth and trim her nails but Max is too squirmy. I was fortunate to find a groomer that I really like. Max and Abbie seem to like her too. They seem to really enjoy themselves when they go to the spa but a massage is included in the full service groom so who wouldn't enjoy that :D |
I just do the in between stuff like eyes and hiney...but I would love to learn to do it all...I just don't want him to hate me for it! |
I do Wosie! And I used to groom Angel and Jasper. I gave them puppy cuts and they were a little choppy, true, but they didn't get out much so I wasn't worried about being embarrassed. :p Wosie hasn't needed a haircut yet, but I have shaved her bottom and I trim her nails and do her teeth. I am considering trimming her ears for the second time. I kind of like fuzzy ears, but with the MeetUp coming, I want her to look her best! :p I totally learned by making mistakes! Dreama goes to the groomer. She's a little snippy when she is being groomed, :eek: so I let the professionals handle her. :animal36 |
I tried this for the first time this weekend since I am going on vacation next week and have no time to take him I didnt want to leave him with hair in his eyes. I may have gone a little to close between his eyes (good thing he cant see it..lol) But the bangs came out just fine. I gave up after that. I do hair for a living but I think I will leave this to his groomer. He actually gets excited when he goes there. She is excellent with him. She will even give him kisses in between doing another dog :thumbup: |
