Beautiful job! It's nice to see people who are at their job for more than a paycheck!

Amazing job, Linda! I'm a groomer, and I love to see owners' reactions when they see their freshly groomed pups! I wish you had a video with their reactions. :-)

I think this videio was great. Pumpkin looks beautiful! I just took my st. bernard to the groomers. When I got him back he was completley shaved. I was furious. He had no matted hair what so ever. Obviously the groomers didn't know what they were doing.

Not trying to be snarky, but dry brushing is not so great for the coat, you need to mist the dog with something, a conditioning spray or even just water. You rip out a lot more healthy hair when brushing dry, because you are fighting static. Brushing all that dirty hair takes a lounging time, it's very hard on your body. It's really not good to breathe that stuff in, it also wears your brushes out sooner. I find it's a lot easier to put the dog straight in the tub, get the dog clean, then b

This was the best video I've found, because it had all the steps (well the steps in order). I'm really glad you included line brushing because I haven't been able to find a video about it yet! Thanks for the video, Pumpkin looked great! :) Good job too

she specifically said, this is not 'show' standard, but is what most non-showing owners prefer...
