I’m on my second standard poodle and my new guy is just over three months old. But I’ve decided to start grooming this one myself. I already have the clippers, 70 dollar brush that I couldn’t believe my wife bought who passed away two and a half years ago. I guess she had to have the Chris Christianson brand that looks exactly the same as all the others that cost ten bucks. But she learned from me and my 40 plus years of buying the most expensive tools. lol but now that I’m trying to get all the things I need for grooming, that blow dryer and stand I’m about to look into is making me almost rethink doing the grooming myself. We tried it together six or so years ago and we laughed and cried out of frustration grooming my boy Bosco, and he was all over the place. We said let’s leave the grooming to the professionals. I swear my best buddy Bosco who died of bloat this past thanksgiving cost me about twenty grand in four years, and that’s not counting the ten grand when they operated on him and he ended up dying two days later still at the hospital. I had five German shepherds in my 26 years of marriage and when I had to put my last best friend down, I wasn’t gonna get another dog. My wife decided she was gonna get one for her self and she definitely surprised me when she paid four grand for an 8 week old black standard poodle. When she passed away I swear that dog of hers saved my life. He put up with me while I was a mess for over 8 months of barely taking care of him. But he was so cool and loving that I don’t think I loved any of my other dogs like the way that poodle affected me. I’m so glad I got another one from the same blood line as the mother of my other dog. This little black standard poodle is so smart and funny, I decided that I’m gonna be the one who bathes and grooms him. Sorry about the rant. But I never thought I would ever have a poodle for a dog. Best dogs ever. ✌️👍🇺🇸

Adorable. I have a brown mini poodle who's a year old. He is so chill . Very much like this sweet baby.

[@mushroommattersmoo7606]

She’s a big girl now!

[@johnsellers9623]

After leaving all that noise about me and mine, I forgot to say thank you for sharing your experience with us.

[@hanako5263]

The puppy is so good.!

[@theresaohalloranjohnson84]

I like that the puppy still looks like a puppy! Great job. Thank you. Not sure if I have the confidence to use shears around the eyes…

[@Mimi2JJG]

Grooming my standard poodle puppy is like wrestling an alligator When does the calmness kick in? 😂

[@johnsellers9623]

Very nice job

[@girlart9]

Oh my gawd!! Pointed scissors right next to her eyes? You must use blunt nose scissors. It really scares me to see that. If the puppy jerked it could be a disaster. And why is she free on the table? She should be in the collar. I hope she explains what’s going on here.

[@hollyirisdrucker2201]

Maybe cause she's a pup that why she is not loped?

[@mushroommattersmoo7606]

It’s alright! We are used to grooming dogs, therefore we know if we can control her or not. Scissors wise, it’s straight scissors for me body and face!

[@jamaicadelrio2397]

I agree I wouldn’t have been brushing hair out of the way with the sheers themselves right there at the dogs eyes. Omg

[@happytoast8321]

Why don’t you shave the nose area? Makes it look like doodle..

I dislike all of that blow drying. It dries out their hair and skin. I air dry mine and then brush them out.

[@oliviacampos5147]

I’m a groomer and it doesn’t dry their skin out that’s impossible with air. The whole point is to dry the hair though. We can’t send dogs soaking wet home and let them air dry.

[@PoppyRussianDoll]

That’s false.

[@jessicafox4048]

You're very rough with a dog. You're pulling the crap out of her hair with that brush. -- she is frightened bc You're freaking rough & not very friendly with the puppy

[@ms.tamikapalma9386]

To rough

[@carolnavan4137]

Very rough. I have a standard puppy and I would not let this lady groom him!

[@nevillewalker6299]

Poor little pup, just to satisfy a human being.

[@Jasonstyles480]

I have the exact same dog😂😂 he was small like this for about a month and a half now he’s as high as a door knob
