Cockapoo Grooming Teddy Bear Clip

Giving this cockapoo puppy a teddy bear type trim. Cute rounded face, clean cut but not too short shaggy body clip.
To groom I use a 3/4” length on the majority of his body, scissor the paws and head and face with rounded shears. A 30 to clean paw pads, a 7F for the sanitary trim, and a 5 for clipping high-tangle spots under front legs close to the body to reduce friction that cause matting.
I used blending shears and straight shears as well for his grooming. But you could definitely copy this cut using just a 3/4” clipper blade, the 10 that came with your clippers and a decent pair of curved shears for the face.
I don’t show it, but Jax the cockapoo was shampooed twice with Plum Silky by Nature’s Specialties and conditioned with the matching conditioner. He had his ears cleaned out using Zap by Kelco. I brushed his teeth with Tropiclean.
I will post links below to some of the stuff I either used or recommend. ☺️

I groomed for 10 years, and I loved to see the comment below "now I understand why grooming is so expensive" That was the most frustrating thing, customers had NO IDEA the amount of effort and patience that went into each dog. I was doing 6-7 dogs a day.

[@Edendog]

Groomers don’t make enough for the amount of labor they do. It may seem untrue to people, but it’s really hard work and hard on the body. My hands and arms are sore, wrists get tired-it’s exhausting and I only groom a couple dogs a week!! Not only is it time intensive and muscle intensive and you stand all day, you’re hyper aware the whole time because you’re keeping someone else’s dog safe. So it is mentally exhausting too. And then the equipment is a fortune and needs to be constantly maintained, and you have to be steady and artistic as well!! But I had no clue until I groomed a dog! The one good thing about me teaching owners at my home to groom is that they usually decide not to do it and then they’re really appreciative of their groomers! 😂

[@KM-oi9ks]

@@Edendog Absolutely! Everything you said was true. Doing great work, keep on keeping on!

[@poisxe]

That's why I always tip my groomer really well- better than for my own hair.

I've been a groomer for 27 years and I'm thoroughly impressed with the way you handled that puppy... he loved that grooming!

Thank you! That really means a lot to me coming from such an experienced professional! You totally just made my day! ❤️

[@sopaipillapesadilla7023]

I'm also a groomer and I'm also impressed, you have good technique! I'd recommend using a comb for the face, like to pull out the hairs instead of using your fingers, they're really cheap and help a lot. I also use it sometimes to check lines, kind of like a ruler, for extra precision.

Now I understand why grooming is so expensive! Thank you so much for all of your videos. You offer a wealth of information for dog owners, and especially new pup owners.

[@sandstormelliott]

That was exactly what I was thinking.

[@Libby-ss1de]

That’s a ont bit rude to groomers saying “now I get why it’s so expensive “ I bet u don’t know it can upset groomers but I’m honestly not tryin to be rude but please think before you say that kind of stuff

[@joybann7353]

@@Libby-ss1de Interesting that you would see that comment as rude. Theris Nogods (comment below) actually understood my intention, which was to say after watching that video I now understand why I pay close to $100 for a groom for my 15 lb dog. I didn't really understand until I watched the video. Not rude.

[@missmonasuzette]

I have 2 Cockapoos age 16 and 14 and have spent many hundreds of hours grooming them myself through the years. It has been a job that I wouldn't wish on anyone. I love them, but I will never have another dog who has to have their hair cut every 8 weeks. I'm getting old now and can barely stand to do it anymore, (it's backbreaking and they don't cooperate) Having a dog that needs to be groomed like this costs many thousands of dollars more through their lifetimes if you don't groom them yourself. Just something to think about if you have kids that will need to attend college someday, or if you need to be saving for retirement.

[@prettylady9265]

Just discovered your videos and so far, they are the most informative I’ve seen. This is the exact cut I’ve always gotten on my dogs. I typically like a little more taking off around the eyes and above the nose (snout?). He is a beautiful dog.

[@r2sanfords]

Beautiful job! I love the way you cut around his face! I have a standard poodle - just learning how to groom him. I use clippers and scissors. I appreciate that you kept the face cute, just shorter.

[@suehurckman3812]

Love this. You are so patient & give great detail when needed. I kind of like the shaggy look, but it doesn't last long, so short with Teddy Bear face for our Bud. Watching because of the Stay Home Stay Safe edict because of COVID 19, hoping we can groom our cockadoodle at home. You make it look easy, but I know it's not.

This was sooooo much better than watching Dede Croy!!!! OMG u are awesome, I luv how u handle ur doggy!

[@bethanydimuzio8861]

This is an old comment, but I'm looking at these videos now because all of the groomers near me are closed, and i'm getting desperate for my poor lil toy poodle. Thinking of doing it myself.... I just watched the Dede Croy poodle video, and holy crap , you're right. I actually hope every one of her clients sees how she treats their pets so roughly so they never go back. This clip is so much better! And not to mention this groomer actually gave the pup a cute cut instead of just buzzing them brutally.

[@allylindsay]

Dede is actually hated within the grooming community. She treats animals absolutely terribly, has no regard for their coat types and will do anything for money.

[@Apollocreed2076]

He's a really good boy.

[@donnaleo5027]

I like the look you gave him. .when I got my first dog, I found him at the SPCA in San Francisco and he turned out to be the best dog. He let me shear him like a sheep and when he got tired, I did the sides and flipped him over and did the other. He was the best...he was a Tibetan Terrier.

[@sarahsu4863]

[@daisyflowers9334]

Loved this video! Jax is so beautiful. I can appreciate the work my groomers did with my cockapoo Chester. My hubby and I would either have him cut like a poodle or a cocker spaniel because he looked adorable either way. Seeing the work done here I wouldn't even elect to trying it myself, lol. I didn't realize the paw area was so sensitive, as that was the only time Jax whimpered a bit. The groomer earns her money.

[@hibiscusfreak]

I like the one length all over look. It's clean, easy to maintain, and the dog doesn't have to stand on a table for over an hour while we sculp ad nauseam with scissors. So I would buzz with comb attachment.

I totally love the shaggy shears groomed look, sooo cute on Cockapoos. But the clippers shorter cut is definitely better for summer months. 👍🏼

[@Edendog]

I totally agree! They're soooo cute all shaggy. But it is also nice not to always have the water everywhere when they take a drink during the summer and cram their whole face in the bowl and then put their faces all over you and you get covered in water and slobber :-)

Am trying this in lockdown... but seriously how well behaved is this dog! Can't see my cockapoo behaving like this.

[@annbasson9718]

Very impressed. I was a hair dresser for 40 years but I don’t think I could attempt this. My puppy is a nightmare to even brush ! I have been unable to take Teddy to be groomed during the covid 19 crisis and had hoped to tackle this at home. I really don’t think it will be possible Ann

[@dianamethven3960]

Fabulous cut and so gentle with the dog. My 20 week cockerpoo just had a groom and was returned to me like a poodle. really short and I was so upset. cried all afternoon. I expected her to look like this teddy bear look but she's sheared right down. I comb her every day so she was not matted. Your poo boy looks fabulous.

Shaggy. Absolutely! So Jax resembles a cuddly teddy bear 🧸. But Jax is still adorable.

[@3131raymond]

Nice cut. I use the blades where possible as my scissor skills aren't great on the legs. I think the blades give a beautiful even finish. I normally use comb attachment s for the head. Saves loads of time and again you get a nice even cut with very little scissoring to do. No 10 blade always for armpits for safety

[@pattybennett7655]

Honestly someone else said this of all the videos I see of how to groom your Cockapoo this has to be the the most understanding. I’m a new Cockapoo owner and trying to learn myself. I always had Poms and I thought they were high maintenance but I believe now Cockapoo’s are. It seems they need to be groomed more often that’s just my opinion. But thank you! Now let’s see how I do😂 it can always grow back right.

[@Edendog]

I have had poms too and cockapoos are ABSOLUTELY more work to groom! But you’ll get the hang of it! ❤️

[@olgalavado]

Lovely cut and very gentle and friendly to this cute well behaved doggy. Please wear a light mask to prevent hair particles into your airways. Subscribed!

[@longviewbarbershop]

It’s so obvious how much you love these pups. Not at all the norm on the videos I’ve watched, unfortunately. You’d think that after 25 years of cutting human hair, I wouldn’t need any homework study for cutting our new Cavapoo puppy’s hair, but this video was really helpful. The tools of our trades are very so similar but the techniques are not. For example, I never shear cut hair that I’m not holding between my index and middle finger. Freehand shear work takes a lot of talent and confidence - especially with a squirmy little dog. I guess I gotta get some curved shears too. Well done!

[@Edendog]

I bet you could pull the hair taught between your fingers and may even get a better cut if you do that, I feel like it might be harder with a squirmy dog and that might be the reason we take a much less exact approach! I am curious, as we will use that technique when we scissor a drop coat all over the body, it’s very similar to giving a layered haircut. But still different!! I’m still trying to learn to cut my kids’ hair at home and lemme tell you, haha, I do not have the talent you guys have!! I bet you’ll pick up on this so quick. It’s a lot like sculpture. It can be so relaxing and artistic! Start by getting the puppy fed and exercised and in a good mood and that goes a long way for table training. The biggest help is working with a compliant pupper. Expect the first several table training sessions to be short. End on a good note and don’t worry if you only got 10% of the job done! You’ll get there! By a couple mos of training your pup will be a sleepy, sweet and relaxed little client for you ❤️

[@beckyjohnstonnz]

Thanks so much for your really instructive videos!! I've really enjoyed learning from you and you have such a great approach with the dogs!! WOuld it be possible for you to tell me which clippers you use, the brand and model? Thanks so much and love your style

[@tessjones5987]

Great cut! I feel like this scissor work will last 6 weeks. So I prefer this type.

[@flickamom3135]

I love this cut! So pretty and functional! Can you recommend brands of grooming tools?

[@Edendog]

Flicka Mom sorry for taking so long to reply!! I really like the basic Andis clipper with the cord. They’re light enough that they don’t make you exhausted and they have enough power to get the job done fast. I never use ceramic blades. Stick with stainless steel. Ceramic just won’t cut. You’ll be there forever pulling on the fur instead of cutting. If you have the money to splurge, Buttercut Blades by Geib are the absolute best. Get them in a 3F and you can do the whole body in that cut and hand scissor the face and legs and you’re done with a lovely clip. Nice scissors are also a plus. Cheap scissors really just cost you more money in the long run. Any cheap blade from Amazon would be about the same as any other. Curved and straight shears are the most useful as a new groomer. Blenders and chunkers are great when you’re ready to spend a bit more time, your dog is trained to stay still and not make you nuts, and you’re up to refining your art. I wouldn’t bother with cheap chunkers or blenders. Stick with Geib or kenchii and you won’t be sorry. Skip anything “Chris christenson” just paying for a designer label and the products aren’t as good as the price pretends they are 😉
