I Bring In $1.3 Million A Year As a Dog Grooming Artist
i wouldn’t necessarily want to transform my dog but his job is a form of art.
*Where are the wagging tales? Please insure they remain dogs*
Creo que es una falta de respeto para los animales, alterar de ésa forma su apariencia, tratando supuestamente de embellecer a un animal que ya es hermoso por naturaleza.
NEVER tell people how much you make keep that to yourself. That is your personal business. Much continued success to you.
He’s happy and the babies are happy! Everyone is loved and they know they look good! ❤❤❤
I don’t think dogs need anything to look cuter than they already are. it’s kind of odd!
why is no one talking about how handsome this man is
He is making families soo much happier with his art.. And that’s called : creativity , dedication and Love.
while in a world where people creates guns , killers virus , violences this guy just creates much love ..keep up your Amazing work bro!👊
I don’t like to touch animals. However, this guy is a genius and talented.
…..
This guy will continue doing this because he gets a lot of money. Taking advantage of the inocence and lack of comprehension of the dogs for our entretainment is straight abuse, even if the procedure is harmless. Our pets deserve to be treated with dignity. Dont you agree?
Inspiring ❤ congrats!!
That lion dog is awesome.
I love hearing when someone uses the money from Covid for a small business’s! You are amazing, and your employees are happy is important to you! This is what America is about, not overpriced grocery stores and unaffordable medical treatment.
What a uniquely creative soul.
Just cut the hair and stop being so self absorbed.
Love his work, story, dedication workplace vibe, great easing personality. Is he single? Nice looking man! If I was younger! 😂 He seems to be a sweet, honest and fun person to be around! 🙏🏽
if one day someone does that to me, I will be extremely mad

Show!!! Fantastic work and amazing journey. Keep going!!!
Que venha muito mais sucesso e realizações 🙏🏻
As a hair colorist on humans for almost 30 years you are AMAZING!!!! Your work is inspiring. A truly innovative and original art forum. You make my clients and me smile with joy. Thank you for being an original person and sharing your work❤❤❤❤❤
I consider this to be cruelty to dogs. A dog is a living creature, it does not deserve to be humiliated and ridiculed like this by someone who calls himself an artist. It’s stupid and embarrassing.
this is not animal care – this is one more example how insane this world has gotten, dye your own hair and body, these are living beings – listening to this guy saying “living sculptures” clearly shows the disrespect he has towards the dogs! what a disgrace
And she a cow 🐄
$500-$1,200 is actually not that bad. It’s all relative. Even the rent isn’t that bad… relatively. It just depends where you live. Love following Gabriel on his own channel.
You deserve every bit of your success- sorry you live in Cali I know how hard it is to make a business there
Animal abuse
This is absolutely amazing and inspirational! x
Es absurdo. Dejen a los perros con su belleza natural, sólo un buen corte y lavado
What a testimony! Thanks for sharing. I’m about to embark on my grooming career. It all started after getting my F1B Goldendoodle, and when the groomer told me how much his “big boy” haircuts were going to cost. lol Five years later, I’m still his groomer. I definitely discovered a hidden passion with him. Working my way from the bottom up, pay wise, isn’t going to fun. But, I’m here for it. And… look at YOU!! 🎉🎉 It’s ALL about passion and doing what we LOVE to do. I’ve always loved animals. I actually wanted to be a Vet when I grew up. I worked in a shelter and when I cried during administering a vaccine to a kitten was when I was reminded of all of what being a Vet would entail. I would up being in the service industry, serving people. Now, I’ll be serving and loving on animals. 🥰🥰
Inspiaring story🥇
😮
Good for him!
Im still not sure how I feel about this……
Open shop in Las Vegas!
I enjoy what you do. I watch dogsbylogan all the time and I really enjoy watching the dogs transform!
I like that the dogs look comfortable and wow the dye jobs are amazing!
He is a TRUE ARTIST!! Absolute perfection ❤
I love seeing how much delight and joy Gabriel’s special dog creations bring to everyone who sees them. The man is literally bringing joy into the world. Gabriel, you’re an artist and we need you. May blessings and fortune continue to fill your life.
I would want this tbh XD
I bet he is an incredible source of knowledge for grooming! I’m inspired by his work and hope to be at his level.
His partner’s dog is not painted. I wonder why? 🤷🏾♀👀
Cotton is a bear 🐻
Super work congratulations dogs love you 🥰
Is there a Tulsa location 😭😭😭
Please can u share non toxic dye for my fur babe? Please
Congratulations on your success, Gabriel!
This truly is your gift.
sir, YOU are a work of art 😍(handsome)
if i was 10 years younger, and you were 10 years older I would adopt a dog just to have a reason to visit your shop! 😅
I am sorry but I feel what he does to pets is ridiculous. Pets should not be used as dolls for dress up. But kudos to him that he has an audience of pet owners (not guardians) that will pay him stupid $$ to satisfy their personal fantasies.
