Good morning guys.
So I amdoing a dog her name is Bitty.
I have done her before,
I think I've done herbefore on the channel actually,
but she's just a mix.
I'd say like a Maltese mix...
...but she'sreally cute she's always a little nervous,
she's got some eye boogers, we're goingto get soaking,
and then get those out.
Um, she just gets shorts all over,
except for hertail,
and so let's get started.
Water warmed up.
I have a bathing system, if you guys are new here...
if this is the only video that you watch etc...
I have a bathing system,
it mixes concentratedgrooming shampoo soap, with water...
to dilute it to the right ratio, and then it allows me to bathe...
and get the dog a lot cleaner and it's a lot more...
...time efficient.
We got some poop back here,
we're gonna let it get that wet...
...let it soak oh we got it off.
Okay...
I'm gonna do the anal glands,
I get asked all the time ''what are anal glands?'',
So on either side of the anus right here...
are anal glands and they have to be expressed...
...cuz' if not they can become impacted.
If your dog smells, smells nasty fish...
or youknow rotting trash or just has a really pungent nasty smell...
...it's probably their anal glandsthat need to be done.
If we don't do anal glands...
...they can get impacted.
If they get impacted...
they will have to have surgery...
...to fix it.
So ''What are anal glands? What's thepurpose?
So the purpose of anal glands...
...is it, it they scent the dogs poop.
So if you havea dog that goes and sniffs another dog's poop,
that is what they are smelling,
each dog hasindividual, they're basically scent glands.
And each individual dog...
has...
its own scent and then so that's what they'resmelling,
if your dog smells other dog's poop.
And it's a myth that if you start doing analglands,
you'll have to always do anal glands,
you should always do anal glands in the first place.
I have had quite a few...
I'd say half a dozen or so dogs...
that come in and the owners are like,
''Yeahbe careful with the anal glands,
they had to be, they have to, surgical be fixed''
becausethey weren't expressing them often enough.
I hear all the time ''Well I heard that if you start...
doing the anal glands when they're young...
...then you'll have to do it the rest of their life''.
Guys,you should do it the rest of their life anyway...
...that's part of owning a dog.
So I'm gonna get herin the cage dryer...
I'm gonna talk about the cage dryer too, because there's been some...
concerns aboutcage drying and the heat and the dog's overheating.
Guys, these are not old school cage dryers,
Okay? These are top of the line cage dryers that are...
...temperature regulated.
If the cage...
it has a sensorin both dryers if the sensor,
senses that the temperature,
is above a certain temperaturethey shut off,
to prevent overheating.
I have never had a dog get hot,
with even two going onat once.
They are temperature regulated,
there's lots of ventilation,
I'm not you know, this is not,
covered up where air can't come and go...
there's a, there's...
fresh air around and fresh air going inall the time...
...there's ventilation on the bottom.
Um, I get a lot of questions about:
''Why do you put agrate on the bottom?''
Well if they need to urinate,
it goes to the pan and they're not sitting intheir urine.
It also allows air to get up underneath the dog, to help dry them better.
They're in herea maximum of an hour after i groom them,
or the owner gets charged a daycare fee.
So when she getsdone...
...we will get her groomed and she'll look good.
All right...
Come here, girl. This is anumber #10.
I'm just gonna do a sanitary...
...and be really careful with the nipples, you can goover them,
just be careful you're notpressing hard, you don't want to cut them.
Hey, hey, hey...
...stop.
This girl can be a little touchy...
um...
I haven't done her in a while...
but she uh, she can be...
...a little touchy.
Quit you'refine, you're fine.
So I'm gonna change to a #30 blade.
She does not have much hair,in her paw pads but we still...
...want to get them done.
Girl, you're okay.
* The dog is whining *
* Marybeth sighs *
She's touchy guys, I mean I didn't evendo anything and she's...
...being super touchy.
No.
All right so...
dremel, we'll do the dremel.
Her nails are quite long.
No, no, no don't lick.
No, lick.
No, lick.
Come here.
Easy.
Easy, girl.
Okay...
...get these back legs done.
No, you gotta stand up, girl.
Easy, easy girl.
No! No, no.
All right, so we're goingto do a number #7 reverse...
...cuz' that's what looks best on her.
So,''Why do we go reverse on somedogs,
and then other dogs we go, with the grain?''
Instead of against...
...we go, with the hair instead of against the hair.
So the, the main answer to that is looks,
it looksbetter...it's...it's...
...it's not choppy, if I were to use a #10 on her,
it would look very choppy, because her hair is thick...
...um, down on the bottom.
so you can see...
Oh, there's a fatty tumor startingright there...
...see it?
So you can see the lines from the clippers,
if I were to use a #10,
it wouldbe ten times as worse,
it would be really bad.
* Marybeth sneezes *
Geez....
allergies, dog hair, like...
...Ifeel like, I sneeze in every video.
Up.
Even with a mask on, I still...
...stuff still makes me sneeze.
Ah, ah!
See that turn around?
That isa warning of: ''Hey...
...I might bite''
''Hey I don't like what you're doing''
Even thoughit's not hurting her,
she uh...
she's a pretty...
touchy...
...dog.
I had to check my phone...
my news app is always going off and I was...
like to keep up to date with what's going on.
Especially because, I'm considered a non-essentialbusiness and I'm...
...afraid that we're gonna have a shutdown.
Um, so I'm staying up to dateand...
recording as many videos as I can...
getting a reserve of videos for you, guys...
in case we do get shut down,
cuz' our casesare climbing again...
...we have over 3000 a day now.
Easy girl.
You're fine.
You know, some people,
don't understand why would you have this dog...
...and shave her instead of letting her coat stay long.
Because that's what theowner wants,
the owner wants the coat to be short.
So we shave...
...her shortcuz that's what they want.
There are some dogs that Ishave for medical reasons...
...they have skin conditions and have to beshaved,
so the medicine can get down to the skin.
Up.
So i am gonna do....
some #10 on herlegs...
...just because it's easier.
Let's see..
we'll see here, maybe not.
No, no, no.
Oh geez, girl...
...make me nervous.
* The dog shakes *
Come here.
No, no, no.
Come here.
All right guys sorry my,
my batterydied I had to switch batteries.
All right so I'm going to switch to a #10.
Come here girl...
...come here, come here.
Okay, so I'm goknna get a number #7...
...back on here.
You can't lay down, girl.
If you have a dog that licks...
you do not...
I repeatyou do not...
...want to use a #7 by the mouth.
If they lick, it is a guaranteed cutof the tongue...
do not use...
a #7 blade if you have a licker...
and you are, especiallyif you're inexperienced...
...use a #10 or #15.
So in the winter time...
since I am bathing dog somuch,
I'm in water all the time and then on top of...
you know water here...
I you know have to domy regular...
household duties at home...
...you know dishes and stuff.
So I get asked allthe time...
how do you keep your hands...
...healthy in the winter.
Guys, I use thelight blue lid of Cerave...
...light blue lid.
Um, that is the ONLY thing that I have found,
andI'm talking i have tried vaseline,
I've tried A&D ointment the only thing,
that keeps my handshealthy during the winter...
...is the Cerave.
And my hands are pretty rough right now cuz' ranout...
...um guys, and the stuff is not, it's not cheap.
It's like 30 dollars a little tub...
but...
you can seeright here my fingers,
my fingers starting to crack.
Um, that is not from me biting my fingers...
...so manypeople that comment about, me biting my fingers.
Um, that is strictly from...
...being in the waterall the time.
They didn't want the tail trimmed...
so we're going to leave it but I'mgoing to...
...fix back here a little bit.
Look a little more...
...natural.
Okay, just like that.
Okay...
Her ears are good, there's no hair in them.
Okay. She looks good to me.
I'mgonna look at her feet real quick.
Stop!
I like to do clean feet on her...
I just think it looks better...
especially on the dogs that get reverse...
...I just think it looksbetter and cleaner on them.
Okay...
Get her a bandana.
I did make anew video on the,
how I make bandanas...
...check that out.
I have three I believeon my channel, of how I make bandanas...
...but I get a request all the time,
of where I get them how I make them.
