🚨 IF YOU CAN’T SEE THE SKIN, YOU’RE COMMITTING A BRUSHING SIN!!! 🚨

(And apparently my creativity now extends to poetry…)

But seriously.

I have made thousands of videos on brushing, and I still don’t feel I can educate enough on the importance of correct brushing technique.

Owners, take note: you can’t just brush the top of the coat and call it done. You need to be line brushing right down to the skin and thoroughly checking your work with a comb afterwards.

Those hidden knots and tangles aren’t just a grooming issue. They’re a welfare issue.

And groomers, before you ask… yes! Please feel free to share this video with your clients.

Whether the brushing message comes through me or through you, I genuinely don’t mind. What matters is that it gets out there.

The more owners who understand correct brushing, the happier, healthier and more comfortable our floofs will be.

OH, CRAP BAG. 🤣🐾

Is this the best bit of doggy backchat I’ve ever come up with?

It still blows my mind that, as a 46-year-old woman, my actual job involves making videos about dog grooming and spending an alarming amount of time imagining what floofs are thinking.

Today’s little tip is for the floofs who like to hide one paw and act like you’ve personally offended them by trying to turn their Grinch feet into cute round paws.

If they’re tucking one paw away, try gently lifting the other. Sometimes it helps them shift their weight so you can get the job done without turning it into a full-scale negotiation.

Does it work every time?

Absolutely not.

Some floofs will immediately switch to:
🐾 Meerkat mode
🐾 Puddle dog mode
🐾 The rarely seen levitating floof

But when it works, it works beautifully.

Sorry, sausage. 😂💜

Need help with brushing, paw trims, round faces, teddy trims, Schnauzer brows, Yorkie styling and all the other floofy bits?

MY FAVOURITE TRANSFORMATION YET. ✂️💙

I love my job, and I love a good transformation… but this one might just be my favourite.

After months of growing it out, Maxie decided it was finally time for a haircut. Out with the wild floof, in with the smart-boy haircut. 😎

I’m not quite emotionally prepared for him looking this grown up.

I would also like to officially confirm that he is, in fact, my child. 😂

I know he’s got straight blonde hair while I’ve got dark curly hair, and people do occasionally look at us like we’ve accidentally been paired together at the supermarket… but those eyes don’t lie. He’s definitely mine. 💙
#

He insists this deserves its own post, so please make him feel famous and tell him what you think of the new hair! 👇😂

He was somewhat overdue lol… thank you to

From horizontal floof… to full wiggle mode 🐾😂

Six months ago we switched Lenny to FreshPet and dinner time has gone from “I’ll get to it when I get to it…” to standing, wiggling, eating and supervising all at once 🤎

As a groomer, coat condition is one of the things I notice first, and as his mum it’s the little day to day things too… his lovely steady energy, his excitement around meals and yes… less wind 🙈😂

Sorry, but if you’re a floof owner… you KNOW.

Safe to say Lord Leonard approves.

“You can kiss me if you keeps givin’ me the wiggle fuel.” 🐶

HOW I SAVED A TEENY TINY BIT… ✂️🐾

I got a little bit slated last time for not just clipping this straight off to “teach the owners a lesson” 🤦‍♀️ Apparently I’m teaching owners they don’t need to brush…

Nope 😅

This was a selection of SMALL knots, on a settled floof, and I already wanted a shorter, more manageable finish anyway.

Sometimes cutting right through the middle of the knot frees everything up beautifully and means you can save a teeny tiny bit rather than taking the face fully off, resulting in a poodle muzzle finish which many pet owners don’t prefer when they’re hoping for a round teddy trim 🐻✂️

(And before Sandra, who’s been grooming for 84 years, pipes up… I have ZERO issue with a clean face / poodle face. They’re beautiful 😍 This is purely owner preference when aiming for that teddy look.)

BUT… important bit 👇

Any larger knots, tighter matting, a stressed floof, a floof I don’t know, or if welfare says “nope” = I clip it off. Every time.

Comfort first. Vanity second. Always 💜🐾

No one likes knots on their floof… but sometimes we can save a teeny tiny bit 😉

Core memory unlocked ⚽💙

Half term started with sunshine, football and one very excited little boy living his best life at the Amex.

Yesterday was pyjamas, heat, gaming and staying close to home. Today was THIS.

I don’t think I’ll ever stop loving these little moments. The football chats. The excitement. The thumbs up. The “Mum, take a photo!” moments.

Time flies. So I’m collecting the memories while I can ☀️💙⚽

And yes… football mum mode is fully activated.

Also, apologies for the lack of floofs in this post… apparently dogs are not permitted on the pitch 😒

It’s not on. Who do I speak to about this?!?! 😂🐾

✨ SHINY BRONZE NOODLE ✨

Bank Holiday Monday morning walk with Lenny and we spotted this little shiny bronze noodle 🐍✨

Snake or slow worm?! 👀

I genuinely have no idea… but it’s cute and shiny 😂

Lenny was completely unbothered and trotted straight past like:
“Morning tiny slithery one. Anyway… back to sniffing.” 🐶

Obviously I stopped and had a little chat 😭

In recent years I’ve started embracing my quirks a lot more 💚

Yesterday I spoke to a caterpillar and moved it out of the sun because I was worried it would get too hot ☀️🐛

Today I had a conversation with a snake / slow worm.

Apparently I’m just an animal-loving, wildlife-conversing little weirdo… and do you know what? That’s actually okay 🥰

This is probably why I work with animals and not people 😂🐾

Meanwhile Lenny had a very vocal disagreement with a Staffy this morning who only wanted to play 😭 (I love Staffies. Lenny was just like SIR PLEASE LOWER THE ENERGY LEVELS.)

Hope everyone has a beautiful Bank Holiday Monday ☀️💜

🚨 STOP! Don’t just brush the top of your floof’s coat 😱🐾

It might look brushed for five minutes… but underneath? Those sneaky tangles are plotting chaos 🙈

The trick? 👇
🪮 Brush in lines from the root out.

And on the legs? I actually find brushing sideways soooo much easier.

Owners… did you know there’s a correct way to brush? 😅
Most people don’t! If this is new to you, you’re absolutely not alone 💜

🐾 Top tip:

Pop your floof up on a surface to brush (table, washing machine, counter with a non-slip mat etc).

It makes handling easier, separates brushing from playtime, creates routine, and mirrors what we do in professional grooming ✂️🐶

And don’t forget the treats!!!

Brush ➡️ reward ➡️ repeat = happier floof and calmer brushing ✨

Also yes… the ✨emotive finger wag✨ is back 😂🙋‍♀️

Apparently my wiggly left index finger triggers people, but if it helps save floofs from matting, I shall continue wagging proudly 🐾😂

👉 Groomers, you’re welcome to share this on your own pages
👉 Owners… are you guilty of the top-layer-only brush?! Drop me a 🙋‍♀️

“WHAT’S DAT BUZZIN POTATO!?!?” 👀🥔🐾

Honestly though… let them sniff.

Think about it from their side for a second. We suddenly turn up with shiny, noisy, buzzing objects and expect them to be completely fine with it 😂

A proper little “sniff check” gives dogs time to process the information, reduce uncertainty, and helps the tools feel less scary.

Put yourself in their paws for a minute…

“What is dis thing?”
“Does it smell safe?”
“Why is potato making noise?” 👀🥔

Slowing down the introduction process and allowing dogs to get used to the sights, sounds and smells can help them feel happier and more comfortable with grooming overall 💙

It takes a little extra time, but it’s absolutely worth the investment.

This video features the Motiva 2 trimmers from 🐾 They’re one of my absolute favourites and they’re currently on sale on the website too 👀

Type Motiva 2 and I’ll ping you the link.

Ps: They’re so pretty!!! Do you prefer them in pink or blue??? 🩷 🩵
