Thank you sizzledog, I was about to say the same thing! I work at a corp company, but ALL of the groomers (with the exception of one that the manager has been trying to fire for almost six months now!) are all about good quality haircuts. Yes, sometimes you get poor service at the big box...

Well, I will tell you what worked with my EXTREMELY high engery female GSD. Maybe I have been watching too much Cesar Millan, but his method worked for me. I moved her collar to wherever it fell on her neck to right below her occiput (the dumb knot on the base of their skulls) and started to...

Looks more like a Dogo to me... I know that according to AKC standards, AmStaffs are not supposed to have more than 80% white...but with UKC for APBT, the only color that is considered a fault is merle. Anyway, a Dogo is always a possibility...

To get through that cocker hair, you are going to need a two speed clipper. Me, personally, I prefer Andis over Oster, I find the Oster's to be bulky and not comfortable in my hand. Cockers have pretty thick hair, and any clipper that has "trimmer" in the name isn't going to cut it. Shell out...

I love the Coal Tar shampoos for really irriated skin. Either that, or something that has tea tree oil in in. The tea tree oil shampoo stinks to high h*ll, but it works for soothing dry skin. I have nothing for oatmeal shampoos, I honestly see a better result from a medicated shampoo such as...

I love the bullies too. I don't have one (my dream one day!) but I have one that I groom every three weeks. Star is a total sweet heart, but that head HURTS if they bang your nose! She got me once good, and I thought for sure she broke my nose. As far as I can tell, Bullies suffer from the...

I'm just glad that the author pointed out that although pits have been breed to be dog aggressive (which is true) that they generally are NOT aggressive towards people. Finally, a media outlet that does not see animal aggression and human aggression as the same thing!

My Laube large comb set was def a great buy, they leave between 1" and 2" depending on which comb you use. And I have one pom client where I SWEAR she must measure the tail or something before she comes in, because even if I take just a tiny bit off, she totally freaks out. It wouldn't be so...

BEAUTIFUL job!! I'm lazy and would have taken my Laube E comb on the dog first then handscissored over it. I love love love my comb collection! I would have also taken a little more off the tail, but I personally like short foxy tails on my poms. You did a gorgous job on the scissor work!

Its a sore on the dogs skin caused by constant licking, chewing, biting, etc. Its not like a dripping blood sore, more of a oozing pussy sore. Certain things can make them worse or more likely to appear. Like skin allergies, knots in the coat, parasites, and like I said earlier, boredom...

Yeah, SummerRiots pictures DEF gave me the creepy crawlies! One time I had a groom dog that was completely infested with ticks (there had to be at least 250 on it). I just about cried. Now, if there are just a couple ticks on a dog, I will pull them off (while jumping up and down saying "ew...

Goldens seem to be prone to hotspots for some reason. It also seems that most of them start chewing as some kind of stress release, kind of like people who bite their nails. You could always try using an E collar (the cones that go around their necks) so that he can't keep chewing on the spot...

Tick like to hang out in wooded areas with a lot of underbush. Once an animal walks by, they hitch a ride and find a nice spot to start sucking blood. There are tons of different species of ticks, but the most common (in my area of southeast VA, at least) that I see are dog ticks and deer...
