When You Should & Should NOT Use A Courtesy Turn
Переглядів 987Місяць тому
Do you do a courtesy turn before your down-and-back in the show ring? If so, we ask you… why? There are a few reasons you could use a courtesy turn, but we want to make sure that you DO have a reason for a courtesy turn… for example, your dog paces or they were distracted by something in the ring and need time to re-adjust. But, more likely, the reasons you shouldn’t do a courtesy turn apply to...

Should I Use… a Short-Pinned Pin Brush?
I bought a fenice brush for my Maltese and it has 135’ angle so I thought I would be ok and then I realised it scratches me! That’s why she hates that brush because all my Chris Christensen she likes them! 😢 gonna buy a Chris Christensen right away
7/3/24 1:51 CST. I have been looking for a reasonably priced pillow and the pony-tail loop some use. Do you know where I can purchase? Mine is an Aussie-doodle with straighter hair. When ppl cut their designer doodles into a poodle cut, they all look the same. Sorry, can’t seem to add picture
I have heard poodles are wicked smart ❤ The towel will catch hair too, won't it?
I have a little morkie i tried everything to clear her tear stains then i came across eye envy i use the wipes and powder everyday and now she is stain free its amazing stuff
When will you use the Mason Pearson brush when you groom as OES dogs? At what stage of the grooming? I didn’t understand what is this brush’s role. Thank you!!
hi! i’m assuming this is the chris christensen brush, but what size/specific name of the brush is this? thanks!!!
what is the name of the 1st brush? and is the 2nd the Karben ll small?
Thank you
Thank you
what type of nutra-cal?
Thank you, sleep quality is HUGE! I use one of the long, free "sleep" noise videos on youtube which my dogs like and know well, to cover ambient noises at hotels. They get used to it at home, so when we're in a strange place, the sound of that video is like a "cue" that it's time for bed.
How much honey?
I’m so bad about this. I don’t really understand oiling every single time. The oil makes the hair stick to the blade and it clogs the blades very quickly as a result. So I end up needing to stop and brush the hair out of the clipper a bunch of times until the oil finally dissipates.
How to dry face and ears with dogs big bushy hairy ears
I just got an Irish Wolfhound and would love to show but I am feeling g a little overwhelmed. Can you give some equipment advice?
I dont understand why we need scissors ive been breeding them since 1997 standard says no clipping or trimming at all.
Of course everything here is great very helpful but I was wondering if you could do any videos or courses on your website that are free on showing collies and Golden’s or grooming these two breeds I am a Junior, who started two years ago with collies and I’m now just adding Golden’s now
how to create that tension with short coat breeds??
Thank you! Your video was super helpful!
Poor dog
What brush would you use on a Japanese Chin? They are a single coat breed
I thought it was just me. I feel I actually damaged my positive relationship with my dog. Specific checkpoints are a really good idea. Thanks!🤝
Could you co one about junior handling or labrador handling? Thx
Could you do on Junior Handling/Labrador Handling? Thx
Your model was very professional! And too dang cute! Lol! Well done, Team Leading Edge! 😉
Love the poodle ❤❤
What’s the mixture of listerine in the spray bottle?
Great video! Could you make a video on how to stack a gsd’s back legs?
Beautiful poodle! ❤ Excellent points about dog shows being different than things often held at the same venue, like fairs.
Where do you find the tools that you use?
Would love that get more information on a chow chow and a sheltie
My grand puppy 🐶 is wagging his tail so hard hitting everything damaging his tail making it bleed 🩸 really need help with this 😮
If Poodles aren't the most patient breed of dogs I don't know what is! Hours and hours of being picked at, shaved, trimmed and they take it without complaint.
Wonderful video. I have a all natural non-show but KC reg Cav and I’m so confused about how to groom him. We groom everyday. We are in the countryside and he loves swimming in the streams and running through fields but he gets so tangled with burrs. What do we use so his coat doesn’t get damaged?
I just found your videos and am loving them! I JUST got into the show ring for the first time one year ago with my norwegian elkhound, however, I also live in a very rural area, so he hasn't gotten the best socializing growing up (too many lawless dogs running around). He's learned to be absolutely wonderful with the judges, but he still gets way too interested in all the other dogs, regardless if I have bait or not. I try to get him in the ring more for the experience, but I live at least 6 hours away from anywhere. Any tips? Hahah!
Helpful video. And I’m glad to see I’m using some of the same tools. I find grooming the ears the biggest challenge and I was hoping you would actually groom a CKCS so I could see how you get the ears nice and straight.
We're working on a full Cavalier course, stay tuned!
@@LeadingEdgeDogShowAcademy thank you
Love all your videos. Any chance you can do one for GBGV?
I just ordered this kit. So I could actually use it twice a day. Thank you
I used it on my havenese and it shredded her foot , its a bloody mess and with her long coat I didn’t realize until after it got me, I’m furious! I love my sweet girl I feel so bad about it. I’m just going to throw the whole brush away. I wanted to leave a review to warn other but of course it’s no where to be found online, except eBay.
BE CAREFUL IT SHREDED MY DOGS FOOT SHE HAS BLED FOR 15 minutes
How does it differ with the ground on the ground?
Great video! :)
Really happy to see this video. All good suggestions for products and brushes. All of the cavalier people here in the Maritimes would really like to see a full course on grooming a real cavalier😊
Thank you so much!!!!! I was so excited to see this video ❤
Thank you! This is so helpful! I’m starting late with my puppy at 6months and I’m a newbie so this is sooo helpful! Thank you ☺️🙌💗
Is your academy good for AKC as well? I love your channel but I’m in the USA 😅💗🙌
Yes, we have students around the world and aim to make all resources as relevant to as many people/areas as possible. We have many, many, many students in the US and we commonly talk about AKC.
@@LeadingEdgeDogShowAcademy Great! Thank you- that’s so good to know! Appreciate the speedy reply and love your content. 💗🙌🤩
This video makes me feel so much better! Thank you! I was thinking to do a few puppy training classes for the reasons you said: the experience of being in a ring with other dogs, etc. I’m very busy so I’m excited to hear I can practice for 10 min a day or so at home. 💗🤭🙌 Thank you! This video was amazing and makes me feel so much better! 💗💗 🙌
This video was sooo helpful! Thank you! I didn’t realize 10 min a day is “enough” I’ll start working with my girl tomorrow. 💗🙌 Where can I get the stacking tools? I don’t have a table appropriate for my girl- she’s a Cane Corso and probably 60lbs -or so 😅 6 months old.
This was an amazing video! Thank you so much! 💗🤩
OMG you are 🤩 amazing
Do you have any links for these leads and slip-collars? 😅😊
