I’ve been researching videos on grooming golden doodles all morning and this is truly the best video I’ve seen. You cover everything with clarity and precision.

That's why I love Amy! She's clear, she's concise, she's THOROUGH, and she obviously just enjoys what she does so much it's a pleasure to watch! Love u Amy Leigh! PS I'm in groom.school.and working in a grooming salon at a pet store (not Petco not PetSmart, thank you lol) and I have my first doodle today so I thought .. refresher course, and of course I came here ❤ wish me luck!!!

Omg! You are, hands down, the best groomer I have ever seen. You've covered everything for non groomers to know. My poor baby came home with cuts all over his body plus the hair wasn't even.

I absolutely love all your videos. I have had dogs all my life - from outside hunting dogs to 50 pound lap dogs. I have 2 sproodles - a 50 lb black & white and a 25 lb mini Merle color. I have been ‘grooming’ if that’s what you would call it for 35 years. I always felt a personal bond with my pups when I wash, dry and cut them. I honestly can say that my dogs have never been mistreated in their entire life. I’m sure there are great professional groomers out there, but I’m just too paranoid to take any chances. Your grooming tips have enabled me to go to the next level. I have almost all the equipment in your videos and the techniques you use are easy to follow. I love how calm you explain everything, but what sets you apart from all the other KZbin groomers is the way you talk to the dogs on your table. Grooming a dog should be a pleasant experience for BOTH of you. Your passion and kindness shines thru in every one of your videos. Thank you for being a great leader and teacher. I would love for you to do a video on springerdoodles. Their hair is typically softer than a regular golden doodle and they look more like a springer spaniel than poodle. I have difficulty selecting the proper blades for that springer look. Thank you again! Happy clipping!

I love your videos Amy. I have learnt so much about grooming from you. I used to own a Toy poodle and spend alot of money sending him to the Groomers. After 18 years with us he passed on and I acquired another poodle pup. I decided I will home groom him. I looked at many of your videos and followed your advise on much of the equipment. I have been grooming my Muttonchops for the last 8 months, picking up tips from you all the time. I am ever so grateful to you..thank you.

[@GoGroomer]

Thank you my friend!

[@scottbert3851]

So glad I stumbled upon your channel! I recently had to shave my one year old standard female Goldendoodle after going way too long between groomings. Poor girl. I do have the Wahl KM10 clipper, but it would not go through her coat. I happened to have an older Oster clipper that got the job done, but not pretty. I was glad to see that you recommend the KM10 clipper (was gonna trash it) so I am ordering a new 10 blade to use with the Wahl guards that I already have. Hopefully, the new blade will get things working again. I also recently sent home 9 Goldendoodle/Labradoodle puppies to new homes and will be sharing your videos with the new owners. I highly doubt any of them will tackle grooming their pups; but this will make them aware of the maintenance involved. Can't wait to watch more of your videos! Thank you again!

This was very helpful for me! I have a big doodle and I moved and can not find a groomer in my area taking new clients! I really want to take care of him myself.

thanks for the tips had problem grooming my doodles with the wahl 10, i never washed before cutting them your the best

[@GoGroomer]

Happy to help!

[@OWK000]

Yep, I just discovered lately that doodles with lots of undercoat you have to slicker them while damp even if you slickered before the bath. It works really well, hair really comes out, but if there is a spot you missed when the coat is dry the next day, there will be matting. Your dog looks super wet: I was slickering a slighty damp dog that had been air dried by a nice walk on a fairly warm sunny afternoon after towel drying.

[@myJenna145]

Did I miss the links for the products you used in this video? Very helpful, thank you!

[@sharonbreckenridge6608]

Amy, now that the weather is getting colder, what guard comb would you recommend to keep the coat a bit longer?

[@donnaquagliana4429]

Ok. I love your videos and have been grooming my own dogs for 35 years. My groomed dogs do not look anything like your Daisy. I currently have a 50 lb sproodle that I bathed yesterday. I’m going down my basement and am going to follow your instructions explicitly. I have all the same tools and am hoping for results that look like I followed your video. You are amazing and I thank you for posting all the products you use. Wish me luck!

[@GoGroomer]

I totally wish you luck and here is a tip… take your time in the bathing process. Make sure you really get your dog clean and condition the coat. That is the secret to a perfect groom. I spend a lot of time just bathing brushing and drying the dog before trimming. 👍

[@brendapreston2568]

Can I use people conditioner until hers comes in? Lol

[@laurar5697]

Loved your tips for grooming. Hubby will not let me wash dog in our bath tub. From your experience, will groomers provide a shampoo/conditioning service and let me do the rest?

[@ItsJustMeLRB]

Thank you for this. My issue is that my dood is SO curly! Kinky curls! It’s almost impossible to use a slicker brush when his fur is longer. We live in an are it gets very cold, so I do like to have some fur on him during those months.

[@GoGroomer]

Not impossible. You just need to use proper brushing techniques. A slicker brush is definitely the brush for that coat.

[@peachka8427]

Question. Number 1 Wahl comb is a 1/2” , why not do the legs a little longer?

[@KC-sz4gx]

Can I ask why you don't clipper in the other direction, i.e. from paws up?

[@byrongraham2017]

Shampoo & conditioner combo your opinion?

[@judithgruszeczkibrown5910]

I have a 3 Ostor Blade and the 1 inch attachment comb is way too big to take off any hair on his head ? What number do you suggest ?? I could use the blade itself but then that would be too short.. I have a Oster Golden 5A clippers. The only other blade I have is a 10 and no covers can be used on that one ( that was ordered online ) we use that on his thicker parts of his body and it works perfect! He’s a Goldendoodle , pretty much poodle coat .I’m trying so hard just to get him to have a teddy bear face ?

[@heathernicol2314]

What length is the #1 blade mine are A B C

[@terrywatson3196]

Do you have a beginner how to for cocker spaniels?

[@Lisa-bd8bs]

I’m so grateful for these videos. I’m liking trying to groom my miniature golden doodle. However, she HATES being shampooed. It’s kind of traumatic for both of us. I used my laundry sink with a shower hose attachment. Thus, I definitely don’t want to take time for conditioner. Thoughts? Thanks so much.

[@PuproarFosters]

For what it’s worth, I had a foster dog who was completely freaked out by the bathing thing. I decided to eliminate the face and head completely the first handful of times to get him a little more comfortable with the process. It helped. Also, I found that I could get away with a relatively quick rinse after the shampoo step, and then do a very thorough rinse after the conditioner. It helped speed things along for him. Personally I wouldn’t skip the conditioner. It helps with trimming. I wonder if there is a combo shampoo/conditioner for dogs? A couple more thoughts. Obviously, make sure water isn’t too warm or too cold. Do you have a mat in the sink? Could she be slipping, which would make her scared and feel unsure. If she’s a mini, maybe she would be more comfortable standing, with her front legs on the edge of the sink/counter.

[@leahgahan8326]

So I have a doodle with more of a retriever coat type. Instead of tightly wound curls he’s more wavy, like Baywatch tresses. I am very dedicated to his maintenance, daily brushing with a slicker and comb. He gets his teeth brushed everyday and ears cleaned often. So what I would love to see from you is scissoring maintenance. How should I be cutting around his face and do you have any tricks for body trims?

[@GoGroomer]

Sure do. I have videos in my channel grooming a labradoodle with wavy coat. Look up Goldendoodle head trim on my channel.

[@abbyeggart8668]

How long does it take you to do a full size doodle like this ?

[@carolecoyote960]

QUESTION: I thought I saw on another video you say to NEVER use ANYTHING but a 7 blade on a doodle? Confused.

[@GoGroomer]

No, only a 7F blade if the coat is matted. You can choose any length as long as you do not let the coat get matted.

[@carolecoyote960]

@@GoGroomer Yay!Thank you so much for answering. I've ordered my table , clippers, etc. and can hardly wait to learn to groom my Molly girl. I know I'll be more careful than some of our mis-adventures with groomers. It's nice to know that you are really 'there.' 🦮❤️🦮

[@lilytherese433]

Groomer in training here-- I've been taught to always use a 30 blade under snap on combs. Does using a different one of the acceptable blades under the comb make a difference? Like a 10 to 30, is there going to be a slight length difference? Maybe a safety difference if you catch a tuckup. Love your videos, thank you!

[@lilytherese433]

Also do you have any tips for preventing hair splinters?

[@foreverinstitches7425]

I was also told to use a 30 under the guards that it would actually ruin my 10 blades?

[@rkgrant16]

Reason why Amy uses a 10 blade. Is because, have she does the trimming. All she has to do, is take comb off and go straight for the sanitary trim (ears, feet, sanitary are). 10 blade is safest for sanitary are, doesn't cause irritation. It's also a time saving technique for groomers. Don't have to stop and change blades.

[@GoGroomer]

[@GoGroomer]

you can use a 10, 15 or 30 blade under you snap on combs...All produce the same result.

Wonderful! Typically you would want a "crisp" scissor coat for a poodle, but because we like them to remain soft and brushed out longer between baths, I like to use these two products together.. Natures Specialties, plum silky shampoo and sunguard conditioner.

Is there a reason you do not shampoo twice? I feel like one bath is never enough. The first shampoo gets most of the dirt and oil and the second shampoo gets what’s left. If I didn’t shampoo my hair for a month I would shampoo twice.

[@GoGroomer]

Because I use the prima bathing system and adequate shampoo and conditioner. No need to shampoo again when I follow this process. That saves me time, money, and produces fabulous results 🐾

[@junkmail9958]

Me again. Lol. So I want to know what shampoo that you use that is not uncomfortable on their eyes. I’m not feeling confident at all on what I’m hearing/seeing. Please let me know your thoughts. You said here that you use tropivlean but the link is different. The one tropiclean us tropickean spa which you don’t mention in the video. I don’t mean to sound angry, but I am frustrated because I just went out and spent a bunch of money. I really do appreciate the video. Thank you.

[@GoGroomer]

The spa facial shampoo is tropliclean facial. That is what I used to wash Daisy’s face in this video. Hope that helps you understand :)

[@junkmail9958]

Thanks so much for the reply. Okay, so first of all let me apologize for the typos. I wrote on my phone and can barely even see. I do know now that it’s the facial tropiclean, but in the video it was just the regular triopiclean 16:1, right? Bottom line is that question. I want to know if I can use the diluted 16:1 tropiclean or is that is not as kind to the eyes. As far as that goes, do you still recommend the 16:1 shampoo and 42:1 conditioner? Those aren’t linked, it is a different product all together. I did my first groom today and this video helped me immensely. Thank you again.

[@Theendlessriver77]

Serious question, Why not get a Standard Poodle? They are the second smartest dog breed that exists, minuscule shedding and costs less than a doodle. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@dennis1954]

Doodles are for those that want a mellower version of a Standard Poodle. My standard, now 10, is very headstrong and loves to hunt. It’s the genetic hunting drive along with the intelligence that makes him headstrong. In the field or while tracking on a long lead, he’s in charge. It’s his job to tell me what to do when he get on scent. In contrast, although Golden Retrievers can also hunt, the Labs and Golden were breed to sit by their master’s side all day long in a duck blind.
