Customer Reviews of Doggie Cuts

Thrilled about this one, very satisfied
I was very excited and hopeful about buying this video. After viewing it for myself, I was thrilled to find out that it covered everything I needed to know about cutting the hair on my adopted long-haired mixed breed dog. I was especially happy to finally learn how to trim the long hair on Sammy's body, particularly the straight cut across the bottom. All the basic cuts were shown for a complete haircut including trimming around the eyes, ears, feet, chin, the belly area, tail, the rear end, etc. (even a top knot was shown for a poodle). Everything is demonstrated to give any kind of dog a full haircut from front to back, top to bottom. Four breeds of dogs were used (Yorkie, Schnauzer, Cocker Spaniel, Poodle), so you learn and apply any or all of the many techniques to your own particular breed of dog, resulting in the style that you desire.

I thought that I would need assistance keeping Sammy still while I cut his hair, but I didn't. (The groomer explained exactly how to calm him down before and during the entire grooming session, and it really worked.) The video also showed me how to safely trim Sammy's toenails so I don't have to pay someone to do that anymore. It even shows you how to brush your dog's teeth, proper bathing, etc.

Each of the segments on the DVD were very easy to find, and rewinding and fast forwarding to review any part that you want is very easy--you only have to know how to use the proper buttons on your DVD remote--it was very simple.

Out of all the many grooming videos I have purchased, this is the only one that I would recommend if you want to give your dog a safe and complete haircut. It's a terrific DVD for teaching at-home grooming.

Simple and effective--this video tops them all!
To be honest, I put off learning how to groom my own dogs for years because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do it myself and that my rambunctious dogs would not sit still for it. Also, I was uncertain that any video that I might find would not apply to the breeds of dogs that I have--a cocker spaniel, a poodle, and a Lhasa Apso. But this video has taught me all the cuts necessary to groom all of of them! Thankfully, it also demonstrates the secrets of how to keep even the most uncooperative dog calm during the entire grooming session.

I manage a dog adoption center, and the Doggie Cuts video has taught me how to cut the hair on schnauzers, yorkshire terriers, poodles, malteses, cocker spaniels, shih tzus, pomeranians, shelties, bichons, scotties, most all terriers, and about a zillion mixed breeds! It demonstrates in detail all the basic cuts necessary to groom most any breed of dog. I have been recommending this video to every person that adopts any of our abused or abandoned doggie friends because, in addition to the actual haircutting, it also gives great veterinary advice and information on maintaining your dog's health, and it shows you how to brush their teeth and trim their toenails as well--essential care for any and all dogs.

When I think of all the money that I have paid groomers in the past just for my own dogs, and all the stress they experienced after I dropped them off, well, I'll just say that I and my dogs are relieved and very happy that I am now doing the grooming myself! I also plan to use my new-found grooming skills to open my own doggie salon in our adoption center to earn extra income that will be used to improve and expand our services to help even more of our homeless friends in the future.

A little disappointed
I was really looking forward to getting this DVD after all the good reviews I read about it. I mainly bought this video for my Benji like terrier mix. But when I watched it I was disappointed that the video didn't cover much on how to cut long hair on the body. They did little trims here and there, but not anything major. However, I did like the trimming around the feet. That worked out really well for me. The only other thing that I really liked about the video was showing how to give a dog a bath properly. Overall, it was hard to get my dog to hold still long enough to give her a hair cut despite their tips. I think the video would work pretty well if you had another person to help you cut the dog's hair and keep them steady. Also I didn't like the fact that this DVD was only one track as one other reviewer had mentioned. This video would be good for just a basic knowledge of how to trim certain areas rather than to give a full hair cut.
