Learn How to Shave Your Dog's Feet from The Soggy Doggy

Loved the tip for toe clippers for small dogs! I have been wondering what those type clippers are for. I’ve been grooming my two Morkipoos and just using small curved scissors. This will make it so much easier! It takes me a forever doing their feet and legs. 😂

Is this clipper that i bought okay?? I bought a mini clipper with the tiniest little blade (maybe 1/4 inch long) . I am not experienced with a clipper, but I want to learn .......so a tiny clipper for the paw pads makes me feel more comfortable . I feel my dog's paws will be kept "safer" until I get used to it. I did one paw on m y dog ok, but stopped and thought that I better watch a few videos . Wow, thank you so much for explaining so clearly and thoughtfully. I did not know about webbing between the front toe pads. I will be looking for your video on trimming up the front of the dogs paws next !!

Very helpful, thanks

Fantastic thank you

What number blade do you use for paw pads???

If you could teach your dog to lay down while you doing it as much easier

What to do with a dog who yanks her legs away 😖?

Thanks for this video. We just adopted a rescue Shih Tzu and learning to groom him. He is quite well behaved thankfully. His previous owners must have been pretty good.

I don't understand why all of a sudden, after hundreds of years, we have to shave the bottom of our dog's feet. I would think it was put there for a reason, to maybe somehow protect them?

Why do you need to shave these hairs from your dog feets? I thought it is an extra protection for dogs feets when they are running outside over the small stones or uneven ground? If this shaving is done for your comfort only, just to save your floor from mud, but the same time you put in danger of injuries dog feets,maybe you dont need to have dog at all?

My guy is a very hairy Tibbie that's about 20! Never had a prob b4, but he's now struggling with the floor. I'm constantly helping him up, which is draining on us both! This vid will help my confidence to get it done. I do concern about the clipper getting hot. Maybe bad brand. But was really concerned about those smaller toes. Wish us luck! I just want to make his life easier! ❤🐶

im so scared ima cut my dogs paw pads

What number blade did you use?

For example, I have a 10 year old Toy Poodle, who is easily fearful, how would I keep her from failing around and not allowing me to touch her feet.

Appreciate the lesson! As much as I'd love to be able to take my dog to a groomer on a regular basis, I just can't afford it for now. Besides, he doesn't really require professional grooming. But he does have a decent amount of hair on his paw pads that he gets sap on. Plus he has allergies so when his feet get itchy, he will lick them a bunch. If they stay too wet for too long, then they can get all infected. Keeping his paw pads trimmed up has helped us mostly avoid that issue! But he is a Corgi with very lil legs. And I don't have anything to use as a grooming table. So I put him on the floor on his back, between my legs and go about it that way. Lol!

When I try it on my dog she performs like a martyr and a primadonna.

Omg. Thank you. I have been doing it all wrong and I have nicked the webbing. Now I know the correct way. 😊

I came here as my Finnish Lapphund has grinch feet and I wanted to learn how to trim her grubby paws as she has allergies. Pleased to know the test subject is a Finnish Lapphund 🥰😂

your dog remains calm and does not pull back the paw. I have almost a young dog puppy almost adult. he pulls his paw back to remove the hairs at the bottom of the legs. And always try to cut nails with special dog nail scissors or via dog electric file. This is also a challenge with my pug/dog. when cutting he fear went wrong 1 or 2 x and he squeaked in pain that goes through marrow and leg, because you don't want to hurt your puppy.

Great video. Thank you very much. Best regards, Greg

Thank you millions. I needed this. I do all my own grooming at home. Maybe this will gain some trust with my dogs.

You need to mention to be careful because you can cut the dogs foot. You don't dig inside the foot

That might work with one of my dogs, but the latest street dog that's gonna take some time. I do like how precise your videos are I've only watched one. I like the fact that there's not a bunch of other BS leading up to or anything else.

What’s the importance of trimming paws?

Wow! Do you have any instructional for how to get the dog so relaxed?

This is completely unfair!! I could do that on your beautiful, well behaved dog!

Thank you! I was cleaning my dogs paws with rounded scissors and it is a bit tricky. Now using your tips I can do it with my little paw clippers 😊 thank you

My problem is that my dog won’t let me touch his feet that long. He makes me feel like I am hurting him😮

Dave, your explanation and instructions were SO clear. How to hold/use the clippers, and WHY not to go into the between-toes areas (webbing), etc. Great vid, and I've DL'd it. I live overseas and was hesitant to take my Husky to a groomer for several reasons, and was going to buy some clippers today and try it myself. VERY glad I found your channel. I'm a recently retired Science teacher, and I know another natural teacher when I see one. Thanks for sharing your skill and info. 👍

Great video. No annoying music while you are talking and straight to the point.

Great tutorial. Thank you so much!
I'm scared I will cut my dog's skin. I guess it takes practice? I need to do my Cavalier's paws and he's only 8 months old.

❤

Thank you so much for such clear, precise and sensible advice in a targeted, bite-size video. Surprisingly, I never thought of dogs slipping, but of course! So great that you share what is obvious when you know, but not when you don’t! Never seen your channel before but am subscribing.. and yes, you have a very calming and engaging voice, perfect for instructional videos. Wishing you much success 🙂

Hmm never knew I had to cut the dogs pad hair. Good instructions.

Yes please don't pull the front leg so far out from dog

You have such a calming voice. No wonder your dog is so relaxed! You made this effort seem so easy!

You are a wonderful teacher! Thank you!

I’ve always used a poodle foot blade aka toe blade…makes it easier even on big shaggy feet 😊

Do you have a video on trimming nails? I’m afraid to do that!

Thank you!

great demo, so organized the best ever. thank you!

My dogs have matting in the main section paw section and I'm nervous to do the scooping method in case it catches or pulls too much or doesn't cut it somehow. I'm nervous it will just catch and not cut smoothly because it's not loose hair. Does anyone have experience or recommendations or have dealt with matted hair and can say if the scooping method can be ised?

Great video. Quick and Clearly explained. Perfect 👍🏼

Very helpful thankyou

Thank you David! You make an excellent instructor! I feel adequately prepared to give a first go at it!

Thank u

Thank you!

Very clear detailed instructions 😊 thank you

I'm scared I will cut my furbabies pads
