The rest of my grooming equipment has turned up today! :D Can't wait to give it all a go! Many thanks to Louise at Jayzander for her help, guidance and recommendations! Would show you a pic of Chloe before I tackle her but we've been out on the park for an hour this morning and she's wet through! :005: Think it will be bath time later and then time to get trimming later!
Here is a picture of her before Louise got the clippers to her snout! Very hairy lady! :005:

PS Please excuse the obvious decorating requirement behind the table! :005:
-
Oooh good luck!
-
Wow you have been busy, it looks ever so slightly like a torture area in the pic!! Good luck
-
LOL! Thanks guys! She's had her shower and I dried her whilst she was on the table which helped! She's not a fan of the hair dryer poor thing! Just having a breather now for lunch! I'm busy watching my grooming DVD at the same time! :005:
PS Sorry were the pics a bit big? :o I always use Photobucket and shrink them before that as well! :o
-
Good luck!
I'm sure you will do a great job!
-
Looking forward to seeing the after pictures - I've been having a go myself (DIY grooming) and fellow COLers always available for comment.
-
Thank you! :D Letting her have a bit of a break whilst I get some other stuff done as I don't think she's particularly happy with me just now! I refused to share my chicken sandwich with her! :005: Told her she could have some if she's a good girl whilst I do the grooming! :lol:
-
Very impressive equipment, am quite envious!
-
LOL! It cost me enough Jules! :005: But then I did have to have the clogs as well to protect my feet! :shades: I bought the DVD, spratz comb, Coat King and Crufts Brush ages ago! Well over £300 worth of gear there altogether! :o So if anybody locally wants to hire any of the equipment... :005:
-
do you live near sheffield im looking for groomer :lol: cant wait to see the pics, good luck with her :luv:
-
I'm not that far away actually! :005: Just off junction 28 of the M1! I've got a bit to do before I'd have the confidence to work on somebody elses dogs though! :005:
-
ohhh i can see a meet up and a grooming lesson coming on :005: :005: :005:
-
ruby says can she book in for a pedicure and back massage to start with :005: :005: :lol:
-
Good luck. I too have decided to groom my dog myself... though being an American Cocker it is even more fun than you'll have with your English :shades: :lol: It feels strange at first, but you'll both get used to it quickly.

Ruby is welcome to drop by any time! :005: Wait until I've shown you the pics first though! I've not done a great deal today, just going at it slowly! Think I took a bit too much off with the thinners in one place as well! :o Also think I caught her by accident but there's no blood and she doesn't seem to bothered! :luv: She now smells lovely and looks incredibly shiny!

Harder to get them to stand to take the post grooming pic isn't it. ;)
I keep doing a bit and then looking at him before taking a bit more the next day and so on, by the end of next week he'd be bald - good job back at work next week!

Thank you for the kind words, I keep looking at her now and finding bits I missed! :005: The table is still in the lounge though so I will probably have another go tomorrow! :lol:

Bless your daughter! I know the feeling though, I visited Louise last week with Choe who had two black cocker bitches and at times I really had to look closely! :o Especially as one was only a month older! ::)
You have done a great job! :luv:

If you want to bring Chico around Saturday he is more than welcome, you don't expect him to be going home with you though do you? :005:
