People cry out Oh it will cause cancer.. wake up people.. what are you FEEDing your dog? Super market quality garbage with cancerous chickens ground up in it? Use chemicals on your lawns? Have beds they sleep on filled with man made chemical materials... We live in a chemical environment.. Wake up..The Milk you drink every day is more harmful to all animals and the environment...
I dye my poodle all colors all the time it is 100% non toxic and organic DOG dye! she LOVES it and is the most spoiled and LOVED dog around! She is groomed every week and Knows she is adorable. Whats wrong are all the people who make judgment calls when they have no idea what they are talking about!!! LMAO
This is art!! And very well behaved dogs!! What's cruel is when ppl dont brush their dog's hair and let it get matted, which caused skin infection. These's dogs maybe every color of the rainbow but atleast they dont have skin infections from nasty matted coats!! You may not b fan of neon colored fur but you should be for grooming as every dog with fur should b groomed to some degree.
wow so many people think this is cruel. Its not, most pet dye are just that PET dyes. Its ok for their skin and hair. Plus I don't see you calling it cruel when we dye our own hair that is more hazardous then this!!
can you see the sad eyes at 0:12? stop this!! you use all sorts of coloring products that have chemicals and can give our pets all sorts of cancer!! stop it i say
@pokiemons14 The dyeing products we use are meant for dogs, they are semi permanent which are not harmful to the dog and do not cause cancer. Also it takes months for the dogs hair to get to that length so usually the dog is only dyed very few times thought the year. It actually is very hard to do and you must have serious scissoring skills to do so. I just wish people would understand how hard creative grooming is instead of judging it because of the hair dye.
@animeobssesent101 I did get your lest than respectful comment on my channel. I considered leaving it and commenting with a reply but decided your posting here and my reply was sufficient. On your Channels Occupation you claim to be a: “Student, pet groomer, animal shelter worker, proffessinal cleaning personel, role player”. cont...
cont....Among the many rolls one can play on the Internet to day is being a professional pet groomer/stylist. The social boards are full kids that like to “roll play” being a professional pet groomer. Learning some general pet grooming and care information from these Internet grooming boards, working at a shelter or even a few weeks learning as a student in a pet grooming school does not make one an expert.
cont...A few years owning a pet grooming business, cutting a pets hair does not make one an expert. This has been demonstrated by some of the so-called experts that put on seminars and sell their grooming and coloring DVDs at trade shows. So called experts that now make their money telling others that they are the experts that should be learned from.
cont...Oh and we cannot forget those experts that claim they can teach you all about dog or cat grooming through their short pet grooming school courses. Some grooming courses only take two weeks to be complete to be certified as a master. The true Masters, the real experts of pet grooming and the pet grooming business are still grooming pets on a daily basis and have been doing so for decades.
cont.....Chemicals may also cause seemingly unrelated problems; such as infertility artistic groomers will never associate with some of these coloring. When artistic creative groomers expose a pet and themselves to coloring products they are essentially performing a science experiment on them self and family pets. Few realize that coloring products for peoples hair not to mention applying these coloring products to pets is not regulated for safety.
@TheDogGroomingCritic clearly you don't know much about grooming. one of the fist things a groomer does, before they even START grooming a dog, is check the skin. also all of the artistic and creative groomers also are regular groomers, this isn't all they do. also all of this is regulated for safety. honestly you shouldn't even have the screen name you have, because to be a critic of something you must first KNOW the topic you are critisizing.
@animeobssesent101 As far as knowing the topic....When you have as many years of experience grooming pets as I have and add 50 more years of life’s knowledge to the naivety of your 19 years your opinions will be more credible.
I envy the blissful ignorance of your youth. But I would not want to be19 again with hazards of todays world. It is said your generation will not live as long as previous generations. Maybe that is because previous generation were not allowed to live in ignorant bliss.
@MasteroftheGroom dude, you have NO idea what you're talking about. yes they are creative as well, like i was told; " You get trained that in school but when your free to run wild on your own you can start to cater your style to your clients needs and the dogs uniqueness. When your doing a client dog you cant do the same standard as a show competition dog, thats just fact." no two dogs are the same, and the dogs up there LOVE the attention they're getting. Please get your facts before judging
Not sure why my reply to you "2blkpoodles" did not post yesterday or why it was listed as spam? So I will try again!
@2blkpoodles Unethical businesses and inhumane grooming practices is a growing problem in the pet grooming field. Few groomers have had any real business education or grooming skill training. Business ethics and humane practices are based on misinformed individuals with misguided passions. Like many other businesses now days business ethics and practices are situational.
i know that the ppl up there are all very skilled groomers and Jechets groomer is what we in the grooming world call a Certified Master groomer, something i personaly am working towards myself. what that means is we go to school to learn how to be a groomer and then after the basics we have to be tested, something She's already done. i leave for school in three weeks. so it's not really something that one should judge after one bad groom
seriously. people are putting wheels and feathers on dogs? maybe these dogs dont want to stand on grooming tables for hours just so their owners spray them with unsafe chemicals to make them look rediculous. just like us, dogs should have the freedom to go to the park and play fetch and have attention from their owners about their feelings. dogs are supposed to have a place to play!
@ButtRush39 these are FAMILY pets, this isn't the only thing they do in their lives. and besides these things they use are COMPLEATLY safe non-toxic or All natural vegitable based. nothing is harmfull or "unsafe" as you so put it. they go out and play like any dog, and most of them absolutly LOVE being up there. don't judge if you've never REALLY tried to get an idea of what's going on. besides, if you knew anything about this you'd have not posted in the first palce.
no entiendo como puede haber esta clase de eventos!!! tan estupidos ....el pelaje que tienen estos perros realmente se ven estupidos...xq no ellos mismos se pintan y quedan como payasos!!!
@2blkpoodles Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to use dusty coloring chalks without exposing the groomer and dogs to hazardous pigment dust. A dust mask and ventilation may reduce exposure but few groomers using colored chalks use exhaust fans during the coloring process and I have yet to see dogs wearing a dust mask . One also needs to consider the preservatives used in these chalks and coloring products which can be especially hazardous since their purpose is to kill microorganisms.
@TheDogGroomingCritic yea, the groomer who did my dog gave him brush burn, that part i wasnt happy about. no one told me and i found out the hard way brushing my dog's tail and him swinging around snapping at me. now his hair doesnt grow at the tip of his tail.

@masterofthegroom That is a good point about the other videos. The majority of our videos are geared towards regular groomers. Also, I'm really worried about the controversy. the vast majority of groomers understand that it is safe for the dogs, and that is our market. Hope you check out our other videos.
The dogs, groomers and audience had a fantastic time at the competition. It was great seeing the dogs loving all the attention they were getting after the awards. I hope it was as fun to watch as is was for everyone involved. Check out BarkleighTV or our youtube channel for more creative and regular grooming videos.
I remember when groomers used pesticides thinking they were safe too. Wearing bathing gloves as protection from the absorbtion of bath grooming hazards, product ingrediates and coat contaninates was laughed at and called rediculous. Some still won't wear dust masks. Choosing instead to inhale during the grooming process, hair particles, flea feces, and animal dander. Now coloring pigments, color oxidizing fumes are being added to the assult on their and the dogs health.
hun, almost all groomers use an all natural VEGITABLE based hair die on the dogs, which IS compleatly safe, so really, you're not only compleatly over reacting, but you also clearly have no clue as to what you're exactly talking about. the dies, for the most part, are GEL based first off, and the air brushing is also harmless and used in close range in small amounts.
the dogs are 100% safe! i watched this show and one of the dogs was tired so the girl almost pulled him out just so he could rest. and the lion one was stressed so she took him to a doggy thingy and she rested him and got him unstressed.all these dogs are safe.!!!!!!!!
@thekait294 cont... Could creative grooming contests be the new lab for testing and monitoring the effects of these products on participants? The hatred toward americans against in not just waged in a war on a militay battle field. Our enemies are making us ill using our own stupidity against us is. Even our own Gov - FDA has concluded that certain food colorings have health hazards and like the oil leak in the Gulf does little about it.
@thekait294 cont...All food-coloring dyes do not come from just vegetables. Some colors come from insects. Usage of Red No. 3 has been association with thyroid tumors after inhumane and disgusting testing on animals. Testing is not allways done in a lab. Could it be creative groomers have unknowling become the test animals for some of these products?
@thekait294 !00% safe? - Not true! You need to do more research. Many of the coloring pigmants and products come from a country known for exporting children’s toys to the USA found to be contaminated with heavy metals. Lead is one such heavy mental and known to cause learning disabilities. Such heavy metal contaminates be they in kids toys or in artist coloring products are speeding up the dumbing down of America.
This is the most appalling thing I've seen in a long time. I can't believe they made a show encouraging this mistreatment of dogs. Anyone who watching this show should be ashamed of themselves.
@kamikat2 and you should be ashamed of posthing this. it is NOT mistreatment of the dogs! Have you ANY ideas what great lengths the groomer/owners go threw to make sure they're dogs are HAPPY and having a GOOD time??? do you also realise that you couldn't even TRY to do that to a dog that didn't want it? a dog that does NOT enjoy this would have been fighting to get off the table the whole time, but a lot of these dogs often are so relaxed that some SLEEP while being groomed.
Oh goodie, look, it's the doggie version of pagaent moms. Nut jobs that don't have kids to ruin and whore up with make-up and ridiculous clothes so they are using their helpless dogs instead! OMG. Why don't these nuts (just like the Toddlers & Tiaras "moms") dress THEMSELVES up and parade around instead of abusing others??? FREAKS.
@MeltnButta they aren't ABUSING anyone or anything, the dogs actually enjoy this. if they didn't, then they'd NEVER be able to do what they do. the dogs love the mass attention, the LOVE how relaxing it is, really the only stressed ones, are the groomers. watch the dogs after they get done in rl with something like this. they walk proudly and happily bc they LIKE how they look.
Coloring products from many different sources and manufactures seem to be being used to color these pets?
My question is, Do the promoters, sponsors, or judges reguire competitors to supply the Manufactures - Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for the products they use? If not why not?
@boxycontin1 quote ...."All of this is 100% safe".
Nothing is 100% safe! Regular everyday salon grooming has many occupational hazards. Depending on salon practices, products used, and enviromental factors some salons have more hazards than others. Hazards that if not understood and handled properly can cause illness and/or injury to dogs and groomers. Pet grooming is an unregulated occupation with no salon safety standards or pet grooming training requirements.
Also, these competitions won't let anyone just use anything. They have to follow safety procedures or else they get in trouble for it. You act like this stuff happens in a basement or something.
@boxycontin1 ….cont… Without contestants providing, submitting a list of the products they are using and Material Safety Data Sheets for those products, how can the judges know for sure the products are safe for pet or groomer?
@TheDogGroomingCritic why on EARTH would the groomers use ANYTHING that would harm their FAMILY MEMBERS? honestly?! do you REALLY have that little sence in your BRAIN, oh wait, never mind. the point is, if you don't know that it isn't you shouldn't say stuff like that, why not ask the GROOMERS rather than ask the ppl who prodused this and then when they don't answer take it out on OTHER people? and try and be nice, ppl respond to that, not rudeness like you've shown here.
@boxycontin1 ...cont.... The only thing I can find about creative grooming rules that could apply to my MSDS question is (source) The International Judges Association Rule - Products, Decorative Objects and Coat Coloring Allowed on the Competition Dog Permitted - Anything goes in the creative grooming as long as it is safe to put on the dog and safe for the contestant to use.
cont.... I do this by having on file - material safety data sheets - for all pet grooming products and the products hazardous ingredients use in the salon. No MSDS available for a pet grooming product - then the product in not allowed in the grooming salon. Since Barkleigh Production does not care to respond to my question about requiring msd.
@boxycontin1 LOL - No I am not telling you anything about what I use on myself. But what I use on myself that is safe or not safe is my choice since I am only exposing myself to the hazard and not dogs. I keep myself educated and informed about all product hazards used on pets in the pet grooming salon.
@TheDogGroomingCritic for starters, Barkleigh Productions didn't groom the dogs, the groomers did and they are all individuals, and if you DID do the research that you "claim" to have done, then you wouldn't have posted such rediculous comments in the first place. get your facts RIGHT and then we'll talk, kay? ok.
@boxycontin1 How many more John’s and Liz’s must die from the cancer causing ingredients in these products before groomers learn the dangers? How many more will suffer from the health effects ?
@TheDogGroomingCritic and how LONG will it take you to figure out the meanings of "Harmless" and "all natural"? really it's misguided people like you that make us look like the bad guys. like i've said before, if the dogs DIDN'T want it, then there would be NO way to groom them like that.
@TheDogGroomingCritic EVERY job has its hazards, it doesn't matte if you're sitting at a desk, doing paper work all day, if you're a groomer, or even if you're a dare devil. no matter what there ARE saftey hazerds and like ALL jobs, groomers jump threw HOOPS to keep their clients safe. i would know, and while it's true, sometimes no matter what you CAN'T avoid accidens and have small problems we ALWAYS take care of it. if you're not a groomer, you don't REALLY know what it's like.
@animeobssesent101 It is important to remember that just because you do not see a dogs skin react to some of these coloring products or as a groomer you don't feel an immediate reaction resulting from your use of some of these coloring products does not mean they are harmless to the pet and you. Some chemicals build up in the body and add to your chemical body burden, causing cancer or other disease years later.
@angelakumpe quote angelakumpe ..."these dogs are not FORCED"...
That may be true of other competitors but you did force your dog. You did this knowing the dog was tired and stressed. Tired and stressed because you worked so late on him by your own admission.
Hey guys, can some people come to my channel and watch my videos. please comment & subscribe! im making a series of videos and itd help alot if you would! thanks!(:<3
1. To care for the appearance of; to make neat and trim
2. To clean and brush (an animal).
3. To remove dirt and parasites from the skin, fur, or feathers of (another animal).
It is clear that the definition of the term grooming does not involve the extreme coloring and untidy cuts some of these poodles endure. Call it whatever you want, but certainly do not call it grooming, its simply not!
@goodolechap Really, well, when we do this we clean and brush them, we trim them and we remove dirt, so, how is it not grooming again?
that was sarcastic actually. I'm done here. there is no use trying to educate people who would rather make assumptions and be ignorant, than hear the truth, because they've already got their minds made up.
@justinecosley personaly you seem to be the only one here with any sence. i'm a groomer in training and i know that most products are vegitable based gel hair die products, that are compleatly harmlss. really there's no harm done at all to these dogs.
I don't care how much they pay or win but I think this is BS come on seriously poor dogs they need to fucking stop with shit like this, that's is just not normal, what are we becoming......
I've said before this is disturbing. But I ended up watching the show. I think the snake-dog should have won. But it's still disturbing. So is the 'presentation' where contestants dance around. Maybe they should have a separate award for that, and let the audience vote to determine the winner, since it has nothing to do with grooming. And this is still deeply disturbing.
@psb1964 - They do have that. It's called the people's choice award. It was cut out of the show. There were a lot of things that weren't shown, Including Falcore's agility work or the mention that he is a registered therapy dog.
ah thanks for that. that makes a lot more sense. And it explains why the judges were so quick to ignore the 'stage presentation'. I'm curious, why the Dog/snake didn't even place? Was it because it didn't require great grooming skill? It was certainly inventive and creative. I'm just wondering about your take on events. Thanks

@psb1964 It was a beautiful dog, and nicely groomed. I'm not a judge but I can tell you that there is a lot more work to do on a larger dog. Contemplating between the 2 small dogs, It appeared to me that the garden of eden dog had less of a difference made than the summer of love dog, who went into the ring with only the pink and white on it. Much of it is about the difference made in the ring. Just because it didn't place, doesn't mean it wasn't a great groom and theme.
@goodolechap I agree, but even if "coloring animals" and "over working an animal" was made illegal in ALL States, laws have to be enforced which they seldom are in the states that have such laws. It seems that certain people have formed and/or joined jihad groups that target such laws just for the purpose of undermining and breaking them. Such groups have no respect for rules & laws. Even Nina's infringing use of a registerd trademark - Yappy Hour® several times showed no respect for IP laws.
One would think TLC and Barkleigh Productions being in publishing field would be aware of IP -Intellectual property laws meant to protect trademark owner rights?
I won't be surprised if the owner of the trademarked registered service mark - (3264690) Yappy Hour ® sues both TLC and Barkleigh for infringement and dilution. Nina may try to claim ignorance of it's trademarked status, but Ignorance of the law in No Excuse. TLC and Barkleigh are ultimately responsible for show content.
This should be illegal in all states and provinces everywhere! If you do not agree tell me why.. and then I will proceed to tell you how crazy you sound for defending something so ludicrous.
WOW TLC whats next? PAMPERED PUSSIES!!!! a show about women who love their pussies and share hygine and grooming techniques? maybe they will have the roloffs and all the kiddies from toddlers and tierras come and play with their pussies? maybe Discovery will pick up the show and call it THE MOST DANGEROUS SNATCH!!!! what a joke tlc sucks!!!
Wow, is TLC so desperate for ratings that they are coming up with shows like Mall Cop, Extreme Poodles and other lame shows? I mean I did have a poodle when I was younger but I never dyed its hair or anything like they do on this show.
Keep in mind this show is rated TV-PG (D) - some suggestive dialogue
(Parental Guidance Suggested -- This program contains material that parents may find unsuitable for younger children.) Many parents may want to watch it with their younger children. The theme itself may call for parental guidance and/or the program contains one or more of the following: moderate violence (V), some sexual situations (S), infrequent coarse language (L), or (D) - some suggestive dialogue
wow... very artistic, but this could stir up some to think that animals could evolve or have evolved from their own kind into other kinds. Evolution is so unscientific.
The sad thing is, before product hazards are understood; animals have become the first victims. Only when Creative Groomers are seen as the primary victims will the dangers of this art and the hazards of this creative process be realized.
Coloring your own hair, coloring a pets coat is a personal choice, so no compulsory testing of the safety of these coloring products are required before sold on the market to creative groomers. Thus, manufacturers can put almost anything in these products. Some ingredients are linked to diseases and conditions such as allergies and cancer. I would be concerned about any Mfgs coloring product that warns or fails to warn that the coloring process can cause irritation to lungs, eyes and skin.
I'm not sure why everybody thinks these dogs are being harmed or abused. All of this is 100% safe. It's practically the same thing as normally grooming them. Even the owners say the dogs enjoy it, and doesn't it look like they do? If the dogs were getting stressed then they wouldn't force them to do it.
@boxycontin1 Really? They wouldn't force a stressed animal to do it? That's not what Angela Kumpe admits to doing in her groomer to groomer interview. Her dog was so stressed that it became physically ILL! And what did she do? Finish her groom! Because that's all she cares about.

Click the big picture of her on the cover and flip to page 18
Read for yourself on the top left corner and then let me know what you think.
@CindyGroomer Wow instead of trying to help an industry you have joined you attempt to ruin someone elses reputation. If Angelas dog was so stressed out and bad off it would have been fored to be removed , she took a break and he was fine , the judges saw no problem in his return. So sad that this has come to personal attacks.
@CindyGroomer That was her own personal choice that had nothing else to do with what was going on. It's easy to lie to people and say your dog was ok. This has nothing to do about the show but about Angela. So if you have your own personal vendetta about her, then you should contact her yourself or take any other action you want.
You act like all creative groomers are like this. Well, you're wrong. :)
@boxycontin1 it completely has to do with the show... it pays here therefor funding her demoralizing "hobbie", and also puts freaks like this in the limelight to get the attention they are so desperate for. when your dyeing your dog pink and dressing it up in costumes you MAY need a reality check.
@cmanclan101 Do you know how many companies make dyes for pets? Do you realize that many show dogs are also "enhanced" with dyes. Next time you go to a dog show, follow a black dog outside and see if it has a purple cast to it's fur. They also use weaves to give the dogs more volume. People would color pets, with or without competitions, and coloring dogs has it's roots in dog shows.
@CindyGroomer My exact words in that article were "My dog Josh became hypoglycemic and I lost valuable time." Josh had low blood sugar, not exaustion or high stress! Josh has meds for this. I did leave to take care of him and would have droped out if he had not been better. I did loose valuable time because i choose to leave the ring to "care" for my dog.
@boxycontin1 People assume, because their own dogs may not like it, that no dog would like it. They don't know the personality of the poodle or that it usually doesn't take longer than any other poodle cut, or that the groomers couldn't do this on a dog that doesn't love to be groomed. They also have probably not seen the real cruelty or neglect that groomers see on a daily basis. People are ignorant to the facts.
@justinecosley Don't compare one form of mistreatment to another. Bad is bad on any level. That's a silly way to argue your point, saying that worse things exist. Basically you are saying for every worse action made or horrible thing done that it should take one off the bottom of the list. Weird.
Is gun violence worse than domestic violence? Maybe it is more violent but certainly not any more tolerated.
@boxycontin1 It is not that they're being harmed or abused, it's just sad. Come on. They're spray-painting dogs. As someone said before, if a dog is loyal, and most are, they'll go along with whatever their owner wants them to do. The owners in this case are concerned about winning a competition, not making their dogs happy.
@Drissy101 It's not spray paint. Don't you like getting your hair done? What's sad is that people can't imagine that a dog would like to be groomed. It's relaxing to them, and they enjoy it. Why is that so hard to believe?
@justinecosley I can understand a dog might enjoy being groomed, AS IN getting their hair cut, but painting colors on them? It's just exposing them to potentially harmful chemicals. Hopefully they are natural dyes... but probably not in all cases. I don't think one can back up saying that a dog likes their fur being dyed.
@Drissy101 What is the difference between getting a dye painted on or a leave in conditioner applied? Nothing. Many dogs receive conditioning treatments. It's just a good smelling cream. We use dyes that are specifically labeled for pets. I personally have bloodwork run on my dogs twice a year to make sure no harm is caused by them.
@justinecosley In reality we don't even pay attention to what is in our products. Make up and hair products that we use contain tons of harmful chemicals. In general we should ask, what is the benefit for the dog? I just think it is better to leave animals as they naturally are. In the end it's our choice how we treat our pets, and undoubtedly you care for yours very much either way.
@Drissy101 dude, if you don't keep up on a dogs grooming in can be VERY bad for the dog. especially the breeds shown here where the hair grows ALL the time, because it doesn't shed. Poodle fur, is the same as other dogs such as the Bedlington terrier and the Porty. this is what we call a "Hair coat" which is different from fur in the fact that it keeps growing unlike regular fur which just grows to a point and falls off. all the products are safe, and the dogs are not misserable or harmed at all
I guess it's cool that they have those skills and all, but what is the point? I mean, who randomly decided that this was an exciting form of entertainment? I didn't even realize groomers went that hardcore until I found this...interesting.
@CindyGroomer - When Sally the groomer became a writer, magazine publisher and competition contest promoter, she like some other groomers lost what grooming pets is supposed to be all about. - the care of the pet !
@TheMrWildfire -There are laws in many States against "over working an animal" and "coloring animals too. But like many laws today it takes pubilc pressure to get laws enforced. Since many of these pets are the personal property of the artists, I don't think we want any more personal property rights lost. Its a shame dogs, cats, (pets in general) are not cassified as more than just personal property. This needs to be changed for the protection of pets and caring pet owners!
These are talented artists that apply their creative colorful and sculpting design talents to their own pets. Some also happen to be professional pet groomers too. Some offer pet grooming services to support their art. You may not approve of their canvas (dogs & cats) but you have to appreciate their creativity and talent. If you feel it is abuse then don't support their art by patronizing their pet grooming services and businesses.
@TheDogGroomingCritic I'm sorry but I do not and will not ever agree that it was ok for Angela Kumpe to care more about winning than her dog's health. She KNEW the dog was ill and went on to talk about how hard it was for HER to finish the groom on an ill dog. Maybe not all creative groomers are like that but she's selfish and a disgrace to groomers everywhere.
@CindyGroomer When I returned with my dog he was fine...ask a vet how to treat a hypoglycemic animal. It is just like a diabetic...a little sugar and a couple minutes and its over they are fine. You should really educate yourself before acting like such a ***** and slandering people. You dont mind putting my full name online so own up and tell us who you are. Quit hiding behind Cindy Groomer. PS my email is angela@angelasgrooming.us if you would like to personaly ask me anything before judging
@hugegiantfrogs If this is torture then my dogs are into it. They have to be put in another room while I groom other dogs because they will jump on the grooming table and shove the other dogs off of the table to get groomed.
Poodle art? Scares me a little, but still very cute(: Hm. I think that I need a pink poodle now. I wonder if I could get my cavalier died purple. and my bichon blue. And my lab could DEFINITELY go for some highlights. Or... maybe not.
OK, yes I went to the website groomertogroomer & on page 18 the groomer does say her dog became hypoglycemic & that completely the groomer was a challenge. That is sick! Guess the competion was obviously MORE important than a living being's health and well being!! This is disgusting & rediculous! Its a bunch of freaks abusing animals! My opinion. There should be rules to protect the animals!
@TheMrWildfire No kidding! Barkleigh productions gives the show... I've already emailed them complaining and their president Sally Liddick gave me some crap about how that happens all the time when dogs are stressed at shows and that it's no big deal. I'm sorry but a dog being SO stressed it becomes physically ill is NOT ok... EVER.
BTW her email is sally at barkleigh
angela at angelasgrooming
^dot coms
Let them know what you think. Maybe if enough people speak out this will end.
@TheMrWildfire Hypoglacemic is like a diabetic with low blood sugar>>>a little sugar and a couple minutes and its okay...Call any vet and ask before you make assumptions. My email again angela@angelasgrooming.us
I wonder if TLC is going to air that part where Angela's dog is SO exhausted that it COLLAPSED on the grooming table during Barkliegh's competition and then she selfishly forces the dog to go BACK into the ring so she can finish her "ART"
She say her dog was SO exhausted that it collapsed on the grooming table during the competition... and then she selfishly forced it BACK onto the table for her "ART" she only cared about losting quote "valuable time" in the ring... disgusting. I groom and would never force a sick dog onto the table for this. I hope all creative groomers aren't out to feed their ego.
@CindyGroomer - Creative Grooming competition is all about feeding the artist ego. The creative groomers own costumes proves that and often over shadow the artists creative groom !
Competition + egos all to often = animal disrespect and abuse.
@TheDogGroomingCritic So I'm realizing. I try to hold out hope that not every single creative groomer is so careless with their dogs. I think it's a little silly, but I never thought it was abuse until I read that interview.
So, what does this say about rampant consumerism in the face of massive personal and government debt, the devaluation of life into disposable art, and the abuse of animals for human pleasure?
Why is it these Walmart types are never content with the aesthetic atrocities they make of their own lives, but have to inflict their execrable taste on the innocent?

@pokiemons14 The dyeing products we use are meant for dogs, they are semi permanent which are not harmful to the dog and do not cause cancer. Also it takes months for the dogs hair to get to that length so usually the dog is only dyed very few times thought the year. It actually is very hard to do and you must have serious scissoring skills to do so. I just wish people would understand how hard creative grooming is instead of judging it because of the hair dye.

The social boards are full kids that like to “roll play” being a professional pet groomer.

cont.....Chemicals may also cause seemingly unrelated problems; such as infertility artistic groomers will never associate with some of these coloring.

@TheDogGroomingCritic clearly you don't know much about grooming. one of the fist things a groomer does, before they even START grooming a dog, is check the skin. also all of the artistic and creative groomers also are regular groomers, this isn't all they do. also all of this is regulated for safety. honestly you shouldn't even have the screen name you have, because to be a critic of something you must first KNOW the topic you are critisizing.

@2blkpoodles Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to use dusty coloring chalks without exposing the groomer and dogs to hazardous pigment dust. A dust mask and ventilation may reduce exposure but few groomers using colored chalks use exhaust fans during the coloring process and I have yet to see dogs wearing a dust mask . One also needs to consider the preservatives used in these chalks and coloring products which can be especially hazardous since their purpose is to kill microorganisms.

I remember when groomers used pesticides thinking they were safe too. Wearing bathing gloves as protection from the absorbtion of bath grooming hazards, product ingrediates and coat contaninates was laughed at and called rediculous. Some still won't wear dust masks. Choosing instead to inhale during the grooming process, hair particles, flea feces, and animal dander. Now coloring pigments, color oxidizing fumes are being added to the assult on their and the dogs health.

@TheDogGroomingCritic ;
hun, almost all groomers use an all natural VEGITABLE based hair die on the dogs, which IS compleatly safe, so really, you're not only compleatly over reacting, but you also clearly have no clue as to what you're exactly talking about. the dies, for the most part, are GEL based first off, and the air brushing is also harmless and used in close range in small amounts.

@thekait294 !00% safe? - Not true! You need to do more research. Many of the coloring pigmants and products come from a country known for exporting children’s toys to the USA found to be contaminated with heavy metals.

Coloring products from many different sources and manufactures seem to be being used to color these pets?
My question is, Do the promoters, sponsors, or judges reguire competitors to supply the Manufactures - Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for the products they use? If not why not?
TheDogGroomingCritic 1 year ago
@boxycontin1 quote ...."All of this is 100% safe".
Nothing is 100% safe! Regular everyday salon grooming has many occupational hazards. Depending on salon practices, products used, and enviromental factors some salons have more hazards than others. Hazards that if not understood and handled properly can cause illness and/or injury to dogs and groomers. Pet grooming is an unregulated occupation with no salon safety standards or pet grooming training requirements.
TheDogGroomingCritic 1 year ago
@TheDogGroomingCritic So you're telling me everything you use on yourself is safe?

animeobssesent101 1 year ago
@boxycontin1 ...cont.... The only thing I can find about creative grooming rules that could apply to my MSDS question is (source) The International Judges Association Rule - Products, Decorative Objects and Coat Coloring Allowed on the Competition Dog Permitted - Anything goes in the creative grooming as long as it is safe to put on the dog and safe for the contestant to use.
TheDogGroomingCritic 1 year ago
cont.... I do this by having on file - material safety data sheets - for all pet grooming products and the products hazardous ingredients use in the salon. No MSDS available for a pet grooming product - then the product in not allowed in the grooming salon. Since Barkleigh Production does not care to respond to my question about requiring msd.
TheDogGroomingCritic 1 year ago
@boxycontin1 LOL - No I am not telling you anything about what I use on myself. But what I use on myself that is safe or not safe is my choice since I am only exposing myself to the hazard and not dogs.

@animeobssesent101 It is important to remember that just because you do not see a dogs skin react to some of these coloring products or as a groomer you don't feel an immediate reaction resulting from your use of some of these coloring products does not mean they are harmless to the pet and you. Some chemicals build up in the body and add to your chemical body burden, causing cancer or other disease years later.

I've said before this is disturbing. But I ended up watching the show. I think the snake-dog should have won. But it's still disturbing. So is the 'presentation' where contestants dance around. Maybe they should have a separate award for that, and let the audience vote to determine the winner, since it has nothing to do with grooming. And this is still deeply disturbing.

@psb1964 It was a beautiful dog, and nicely groomed. I'm not a judge but I can tell you that there is a lot more work to do on a larger dog. Contemplating between the 2 small dogs, It appeared to me that the garden of eden dog had less of a difference made than the summer of love dog, who went into the ring with only the pink and white on it. Much of it is about the difference made in the ring. Just because it didn't place, doesn't mean it wasn't a great groom and theme.

@goodolechap I agree, but even if "coloring animals" and "over working an animal" was made illegal in ALL States, laws have to be enforced which they seldom are in the states that have such laws. It seems that certain people have formed and/or joined jihad groups that target such laws just for the purpose of undermining and breaking them. Such groups have no respect for rules & laws. Even Nina's infringing use of a registerd trademark - Yappy Hour® several times showed no respect for IP laws.

Nina may try to claim ignorance of it's trademarked status, but Ignorance of the law in No Excuse. TLC and Barkleigh are ultimately responsible for show content.

Coloring your own hair, coloring a pets coat is a personal choice, so no compulsory testing of the safety of these coloring products are required before sold on the market to creative groomers. Thus, manufacturers can put almost anything in these products. Some ingredients are linked to diseases and conditions such as allergies and cancer. I would be concerned about any Mfgs coloring product that warns or fails to warn that the coloring process can cause irritation to lungs, eyes and skin.

I'm not sure why everybody thinks these dogs are being harmed or abused. All of this is 100% safe. It's practically the same thing as normally grooming them. Even the owners say the dogs enjoy it, and doesn't it look like they do? If the dogs were getting stressed then they wouldn't force them to do it.

@boxycontin1 Really? They wouldn't force a stressed animal to do it? That's not what Angela Kumpe admits to doing in her groomer to groomer interview. Her dog was so stressed that it became physically ILL! And what did she do? Finish her groom! Because that's all she cares about.

@CindyGroomer Wow instead of trying to help an industry you have joined you attempt to ruin someone elses reputation. If Angelas dog was so stressed out and bad off it would have been fored to be removed , she took a break and he was fine , the judges saw no problem in his return. So sad that this has come to personal attacks.

@CindyGroomer That was her own personal choice that had nothing else to do with what was going on. It's easy to lie to people and say your dog was ok. This has nothing to do about the show but about Angela. So if you have your own personal vendetta about her, then you should contact her yourself or take any other action you want.
You act like all creative groomers are like this. Well, you're wrong. :)

@boxycontin1 it completely has to do with the show... it pays here therefor funding her demoralizing "hobbie", and also puts freaks like this in the limelight to get the attention they are so desperate for. when your dyeing your dog pink and dressing it up in costumes you MAY need a reality check.

@cmanclan101 Do you know how many companies make dyes for pets? Do you realize that many show dogs are also "enhanced" with dyes. Next time you go to a dog show, follow a black dog outside and see if it has a purple cast to it's fur. They also use weaves to give the dogs more volume. People would color pets, with or without competitions, and coloring dogs has it's roots in dog shows.

@CindyGroomer My exact words in that article were "My dog Josh became hypoglycemic and I lost valuable time." Josh had low blood sugar, not exaustion or high stress! Josh has meds for this. I did leave to take care of him and would have droped out if he had not been better. I did loose valuable time because i choose to leave the ring to "care" for my dog.

@boxycontin1 People assume, because their own dogs may not like it, that no dog would like it. They don't know the personality of the poodle or that it usually doesn't take longer than any other poodle cut, or that the groomers couldn't do this on a dog that doesn't love to be groomed. They also have probably not seen the real cruelty or neglect that groomers see on a daily basis. People are ignorant to the facts.

@justinecosley Don't compare one form of mistreatment to another. Bad is bad on any level. That's a silly way to argue your point, saying that worse things exist. Basically you are saying for every worse action made or horrible thing done that it should take one off the bottom of the list. Weird.
Is gun violence worse than domestic violence? Maybe it is more violent but certainly not any more tolerated.

@boxycontin1 It is not that they're being harmed or abused, it's just sad. Come on. They're spray-painting dogs. As someone said before, if a dog is loyal, and most are, they'll go along with whatever their owner wants them to do. The owners in this case are concerned about winning a competition, not making their dogs happy.
Drissy101 1 year ago
@Drissy101 It's not spray paint. Don't you like getting your hair done? What's sad is that people can't imagine that a dog would like to be groomed. It's relaxing to them, and they enjoy it. Why is that so hard to believe?
justinecosley 1 year ago
@justinecosley I can understand a dog might enjoy being groomed, AS IN getting their hair cut, but painting colors on them? It's just exposing them to potentially harmful chemicals. Hopefully they are natural dyes... but probably not in all cases. I don't think one can back up saying that a dog likes their fur being dyed.
Drissy101 1 year ago
@Drissy101 What is the difference between getting a dye painted on or a leave in conditioner applied? Nothing. Many dogs receive conditioning treatments. It's just a good smelling cream. We use dyes that are specifically labeled for pets. I personally have bloodwork run on my dogs twice a year to make sure no harm is caused by them.
justinecosley 1 year ago
@justinecosley In reality we don't even pay attention to what is in our products. Make up and hair products that we use contain tons of harmful chemicals. In general we should ask, what is the benefit for the dog? I just think it is better to leave animals as they naturally are. In the end it's our choice how we treat our pets, and undoubtedly you care for yours very much either way.
Drissy101 1 year ago
@Drissy101 dude, if you don't keep up on a dogs grooming in can be VERY bad for the dog. especially the breeds shown here where the hair grows ALL the time, because it doesn't shed. Poodle fur, is the same as other dogs such as the Bedlington terrier and the Porty. this is what we call a "Hair coat" which is different from fur in the fact that it keeps growing unlike regular fur which just grows to a point and falls off. all the products are safe, and the dogs are not misserable or harmed at all

@CindyGroomer - When Sally the groomer became a writer, magazine publisher and competition contest promoter, she like some other groomers lost what grooming pets is supposed to be all about. - the care of the pet !

@TheMrWildfire -There are laws in many States against "over working an animal" and "coloring animals too. But like many laws today it takes pubilc pressure to get laws enforced. Since many of these pets are the personal property of the artists, I don't think we want any more personal property rights lost. Its a shame dogs, cats, (pets in general) are not cassified as more than just personal property. This needs to be changed for the protection of pets and caring pet owners!

These are talented artists that apply their creative colorful and sculpting design talents to their own pets. Some also happen to be professional pet groomers too. Some offer pet grooming services to support their art. You may not approve of their canvas (dogs & cats) but you have to appreciate their creativity and talent. If you feel it is abuse then don't support their art by patronizing their pet grooming services and businesses.

@TheDogGroomingCritic I'm sorry but I do not and will not ever agree that it was ok for Angela Kumpe to care more about winning than her dog's health. She KNEW the dog was ill and went on to talk about how hard it was for HER to finish the groom on an ill dog. Maybe not all creative groomers are like that but she's selfish and a disgrace to groomers everywhere.

@CindyGroomer When I returned with my dog he was fine...ask a vet how to treat a hypoglycemic animal. It is just like a diabetic...a little sugar and a couple minutes and its over they are fine. You should really educate yourself before acting like such a ***** and slandering people. You dont mind putting my full name online so own up and tell us who you are. Quit hiding behind Cindy Groomer. PS my email is angela@angelasgrooming.us if you would like to personaly ask me anything before judging

animal torture
hugegiantfrogs 1 year ago
@hugegiantfrogs If this is torture then my dogs are into it. They have to be put in another room while I groom other dogs because they will jump on the grooming table and shove the other dogs off of the table to get groomed.

Poodle art? Scares me a little, but still very cute(: Hm. I think that I need a pink poodle now. I wonder if I could get my cavalier died purple. and my bichon blue. And my lab could DEFINITELY go for some highlights. Or... maybe not.

OK, yes I went to the website groomertogroomer & on page 18 the groomer does say her dog became hypoglycemic & that completely the groomer was a challenge. That is sick! Guess the competion was obviously MORE important than a living being's health and well being!! This is disgusting & rediculous! Its a bunch of freaks abusing animals! My opinion. There should be rules to protect the animals!

@TheMrWildfire No kidding! Barkleigh productions gives the show... I've already emailed them complaining and their president Sally Liddick gave me some crap about how that happens all the time when dogs are stressed at shows and that it's no big deal. I'm sorry but a dog being SO stressed it becomes physically ill is NOT ok... EVER.
BTW her email is sally at barkleigh

I wonder if TLC is going to air that part where Angela's dog is SO exhausted that it COLLAPSED on the grooming table during Barkliegh's competition and then she selfishly forces the dog to go BACK into the ring so she can finish her "ART"

Read Angela's interview on top left
She say her dog was SO exhausted that it collapsed on the grooming table during the competition... and then she selfishly forced it BACK onto the table for her "ART" she only cared about losting quote "valuable time" in the ring... disgusting. I groom and would never force a sick dog onto the table for this. I hope all creative groomers aren't out to feed their ego.
CindyGroomer 1 year ago
@CindyGroomer - Creative Grooming competition is all about feeding the artist ego. The creative groomers own costumes proves that and often over shadow the artists creative groom !
Competition + egos all to often = animal disrespect and abuse.
TheDogGroomingCritic 1 year ago 5
@TheDogGroomingCritic So I'm realizing. I try to hold out hope that not every single creative groomer is so careless with their dogs. I think it's a little silly, but I never thought it was abuse until I read that interview.
