Not everything is always as it seems | Cute transformation on matted Yorkie

Hey everyone, today we are grooming Buo Buo, he's kind of a Yorkie mix and he's here today getting a good grooming because he's pretty

matted

and definitely overgrown, okay, well, well, buddy, so Boo is pretty

matted

, but the owners would prefer it not. To shave him completely, I informed the owner that I would have to shave him because he is matted, but I will try to leave him as long as I can. Normally I would shave a dog before bathing, especially when they are matted, but they have a Yorkie type coat and sometimes with that Yorky coat, if you bathe them and blow them first, you can actually, okay, blow the mat a a little further from the skin which would allow me to use a little bit of a longer blade so I'm going to try bathing him first to see if I can do that and if not then he'll have to shave shorter, okay good boy, if you are someone looking to be able to maintain your dog's nails and paws at home.

I have a new course that just went up on my website about paws that will teach you how to keep your dog, the Grinch's, paws on the inside of his paws, as well as how to trim them and use a Dremel. nails, I'll leave the link in the description so you can find it easily, oh boy, stay to rinse your face, it's almost tangled where his harness is, so something tells me they probably left the harness on him, either at home or I think he was in a shipping tunnel recently, so maybe while he was in the kennel it was a lot because they took him on a lot of walks and a lot of times the friction from the harness can cause the dog to get tangled. specifically in those areas, okay, now we need to give it some conditioner, conditioner, good boy, rinse, good boy, okay, shake it out, now I'm going to put a happy hoodie on it, let's start drying it and see if we can loosen it up a little bit of that mat.

You okay, yeah, good boy, you can see all that mat there, okay, okay, hair is okay, boy, okay, since he doesn't like his face to be dried, I'm going to put him in the box to continue drying it. It's almost dry. I just want to address a common misconception that bathing matted fur will make it more matted. This is actually not true and this only relates to pet owners, that specific saying and not pet groomers, and I will explain why what actually results is not drying the fur. with a matted coat if you are going to bathe your pet at home and they have Matts it is very important to dry them completely because what happens is they will run around your house rubbing against the furniture because that is how they naturally get their coat. dry again and that friction will make the mat even tighter when they are in a salon, they are being taken care of right away, so we bathe them, dry them and then cut their hair, so even if we bathe them first, It doesn't mean we're going to make the mat worse in this particular case, it actually helped that I bathed it first.

His hair parted a little and now the mats are in small sections instead of grouped together. That doesn't

always

happen with all dogs, but because of his coat type, that's the reason this happened, so he should be able to leave it in a little longer. I'm going to try brushing some of these just to see how easy they are. come out and how you handle it if you handle it well and the mat slides. Maybe I can leave it for as long as the owner wanted today, if he doesn't like it or it's getting too difficult to try and brush him then I will.

Put him down so we can come back after he has dried in the box and is ready for his haircut. Okay, I'm going to give it a splash of ice. It is a conditioning treatment. Help me brush it. I hope so far so good. so far he's tolerating it normally, the mats don't come off as easily with a Slicker brush, but this one is so let's see, okay good boy, you have stinky breath. I think you need a dentist, yes, so the reason, well,

always

brush from the bottom up, but I tried these mats here along the dog's side area first because they tend to be the most sensitive areas, so, Generally, if they can tolerate being brushed, then they can tolerate

everything

being brushed on this mat.

If I had tried to brush it before the bath, I think it would have been a little harder because it was so clumped almost into a large rug, but it comes out very easily with just a Slicker brush. I usually have to use a Slicker brush. brush and a comb and it is very common in dogs with a type of silky coat like this, which is very fine and the mat usually comes off quite easily if it is not to the point of no return, what happens is that these metal teeth here they just move away a little. hair by hair until finally the entire carpet is brushed, good boy, okay,

everything

is already brushed, what I'm going to do is shape it over the groin and right in the armpits with a number 10, it behaved very well for being brushed.

Her skin is not pink. I'm really surprised at how easy that whole mess went. I love when that happens. On the other hand, man, these are just areas that are a little more sensitive, so if we can shave them. I'm sure he would appreciate it. Now I'm just going to go over it with my comb to make sure there are no tangles anywhere before I cut his hair to leave him with a longer haircut. I have to make sure that he. It is completely brushed first, many people will ask me why I don't remove most of the fur first before brushing it.

If I do, it will cause holes, so when the clipper runs through the fur, that's it. I'll try to get under the mat and it'll actually cause a big hole in the fur which we don't want, so you have to brush everything completely before you can go over a dog with a clipper attachment, which is what I do. What I'm going to do today and the only reason I'm going to go over him with the Clipper Comb is because I think if we leave his fur that long it will tangle again very easily so I have my 30 Blade with a 1 inch Comb Attachment on top good boy she said she likes her ears long so they won't cut them shorter today maybe she just evened out a little good boy Stace now we have to check you with some thinning scissors because her coat is Okay, I'm going to use thinning scissors to try to even him out and tighten his haircut.

Please stay, stay, good boy, stay, please don't lick. The reason I keep my hand away from him when he licks me is because it looks like he has enough bacteria in his mouth to need a dentist, yeah, so no, I don't mind when dogs lick me, but I really don't want to be licked. when their mouth is full of bacteria. especially in the dry season when my hands are chapped and stuff like that, that's like a recipe for infection, okay, now let's do your paw, good boy, stay, he keeps slipping a little on his left hind paw, something me says he probably has a luxated kneecap where the knee joint goes in and out and he's not putting much pressure on it, it's very common in these types of breeds, dogs with hair types like these can be very difficult to get his haircut look good, his thin fur is quite challenging get those little mats out of there stay, let's fix your ears a little bit he makes moving a little difficult in total boo it took me an hour and a half his mat was quite shallow it turned out to look very

cute

the one of before and after is a big difference he clearly wants to go home so thank you all so much for watching yeah thank you for watching yeah yeah that's what I said and I'll see you again in a few days.
