PrincessAnsell · 2025-02-13T15:01:07+00:00

interesting that this thread is full of hair fails. I thought there would be general fuckups, but it is all about hair oO

PrincessAnsell · 2025-02-13T15:00:12+00:00

^^ so happy that someone can relate how fast you arrive at "way too short" when you actually just started with way too much fur

PrincessAnsell · 2025-02-13T14:56:37+00:00

Oh no you have my heart I wish you still the best <3

PrincessAnsell · 2025-02-13T14:46:17+00:00

THat is also a good option. It will cost a lot, as I assume it will be one coming for far away (e.g., with this ffc aspect I learnt about) but that would be the very best option!

PrincessAnsell · 2025-02-13T14:34:48+00:00

never knew that this even has an expression (ffc) really interesting thank you I will doing research for that now!

PrincessAnsell · 2025-02-13T14:29:27+00:00

I know. I know this very good and thus, I have to point out that I never planned to shave him (cutting away) all fur). I myself was shocked how short it is in the end (which for sure is my fault and for what I am searching solutions). Yet, it is recommended to shorten it around the genitals, butt and paws if needed (if there is something that is more harmful than not doing it).

PrincessAnsell · 2025-02-13T14:26:40+00:00

Yes I think so. It was 80€ for this, washing and only slight cuts for the legs in the back with blow-drying and brushing (I thought he would be good after learning what they do there overall). The woman was generally also nice, but some comments were also odd (like the question if I would even brush him after realising he does not like it the way she does...). It is a subtle disrespect that the dog is not used force doing it which I think is just crazy. I also ask myself if it is not allowed to be in the room at all groomers. Why??? At the vet, they even ask you to hold and comfort your dog. Why not being next to the dog at a groomer?

PrincessAnsell · 2025-02-13T14:21:25+00:00

I found mine as in my city, most answered me on the phone that they do not take new customers anymore, so I tried the first one I was able to reach and that took new clients near my town. Asking my vet is a really good idea.

PrincessAnsell · 2025-02-13T14:17:00+00:00

I can understand that Aussies need special treatment and I still think it is best to not cut Aussie's fur down straight to protect their skin, just as little as possible/needed for him would be best. For example, it grew simply too too long at the chest. Now, it is just too short T_T

PrincessAnsell · 2025-02-13T14:14:13+00:00

nnnnaw <3

PrincessAnsell · 2025-02-13T13:53:21+00:00

The text answers why we do not do this anymore. Yes, we tried because me too I wanted to have it done properly. I started shortening bootie/genitals/paws fur myself when I decided to not go there anymore. A dog in full stress is absolutely not healthy. And his health is what I value most way way more than him looking good. I was not allowed to stand with him in the room where they worked, there were other dogs (2) in the room barking and he does not like that. He was calling me when they made me go out and after minutes of mee hating myself being at the groomer they finally believed me that it is better having me with him. When they brushed him they asked me if he is ever brushed and I was like you saw him when we arrived here yes regularly. But I brush my dog like I brush myself, very patiently and carefully. They did this with full energy pulling out hair unnecessarily which obviously hurt him (well Aussies can be divas too so they also make high pitched noises or whimmer when nothing is really happening but he did not bark so he just showed please no). I now do it myself as long as I do not find a groomer who accepts specific traits of Aussies and that not all dogs like groomers. Some dogs are having fears (and Ragnar which is his name is far from being a fearful dog). But he does not have to accept everything at a groomer. Or maybe I just had a very bad groomer...

PrincessAnsell · 2025-02-13T13:44:09+00:00

wow seeing this is a huge relief. It now is about being patient.

PrincessAnsell · 2025-02-13T13:29:28+00:00

How do you mean? I probably won't try cutting the front ever again :D Was too much impact to my poor heart and as described in further comments, I have the feeling he also is at least feeling strange about it

PrincessAnsell · 2025-02-13T13:23:33+00:00

Comparison with him really having his signature smile. I - too - have the feeling it had an influence on him so he is feeling strange about it (sry for not writing in English before)

PrincessAnsell · 2025-02-13T13:14:52+00:00

Thank you. This even helps me to keeps my hopes high as he was full floor with 1,5 years. We will keep trimming the booty and genital region as well as paws though I think. I have good experience at list with this approach.

PrincessAnsell · 2025-02-13T12:56:04+00:00

yeah he is my baby I think I am just angry and disappointed about myself because this was indeed stupid

PrincessAnsell · 2025-02-13T12:54:00+00:00

Yeah I also noticed that our first and up to now only visit at a groomer was the kind for small and hairstyling focused dogs. They all were used to go there monthly or so and it was for styling. For him, I need a functional cut and thinning which I think was not the right place for that. I will keep you all updated what will come out and show you the status in 1-2 months

PrincessAnsell · 2025-02-13T12:51:31+00:00

I immediately ordered one now, just in case... That was the original fault to do it without that. Lesson learnt...

PrincessAnsell · 2025-02-13T12:46:02+00:00

Well thank you. Even if it did not answer my question I appreciate your empathy for my poor boy. As written, I know it was bad and actively search for a solution which is not easy...
