Grooming Question?

Ok....I either suck using clippers or mine are defective or the blades are dull or I don't know what but I've HAD IT with the clippers on my newfie. I even took her down to a groomer and THEY didn't know if they could get thru this coat (she's part collie so think newfie size with coat density with lassie length!!!!!!)

Sooooo...before I pull my OWN hair out lol...is there a MANUAL way like a stripper or something like that or some type of comb with a blade in it (don't think a de-matter would work for that) something you can COMB thru the dog to clip her down some??????

Signed...

Exasperated! lol

Grooming Question?

It may be easier to take a pair of scissors or shears to get a lot of the length off first, then use the clippers. Sounds like a real chore!

Grooming Question?

You might have found an inexperienced groomer.. a good groomer knows exactly how to take care of a dog. So call around until you find one that knows what they are doing.

Grooming Question?

I would call around to other groomers (reputable ones).

I rescued an Old English Sheep Dog fully mated down to the skin...I wondered how she got so bad then I saw her outside standing in the rain rolling around in the mud!!

They had to shave her completly!

Good Luck!

Grooming Question?

You poor thing! Yes their are stripping tools your can buy. Look on Dr's.Foster%26amp;Smith.com under dog grooming tools. Have you tried a double coated rake? I have 2 big goldens and I have been useing this tool for over 20 years to get their undercoat out durring the shedding season.

Also a very experienced groomer will be able to strip the under coat of your dog. Call around to see if you can find one in your area.

Good luck!
