Definitely about to start grooming my own doodles. Between doodles getting discriminated against and the price gauging and terrible cuts I’m over it all. This vid is a great help

[@sarahthompson7651]

I’m here for exactly that reason! I get it, but still. I’m pretty sure I can do this thanks to videos like this!

[@nickidrew5113]

@@sarahthompson7651 just groomed my dog myself today and I think I did a pretty great job. My husband thought so as well. Didn’t cost me 160$ to do it either 🤣

[@6741austin]

I never leave comments but this video was too good not to praise you on how well you explained in detail how to groom a golden doodle. During this stay at home order I really needed this exact video!! I can’t leave out how well behaved you’re dog was as well!!! Thank you again!!!

[@atldoodlegroomer3768]

I’m in awe of how cooperative your doodle is! Thanks for the excellent video.

[@josieharrington181]

Wow. Your dog is so chill! He was an excellent “model” ❣️ He’s beautiful too 😍

[@ssrrstuart]

After taking our doodle to various groomers with high prices (up to $130 with tip), inconsistent results, and doing the hard work ourselves to get the mats out beforehand, we finally decided to start doing the whole grooming ourselves. This video was immensely helpful, and we feel like our doodle looks WAY better than he ever did taking him to a professional, specifically his face and feet. Thanks for the help!

[@atldoodlegroomer3768]

So glad!

[@missyyy-]

I can totally relate to this comment. I am rewatching this video today, before I attempt my doodle’s first at-home groom. $140 including tip & cc fees the last few times has left me so disappointed with the results and condition of my dog afterwards that I just bought the tools I didn’t have before to do it myself.

[@alexbaldwin4365]

This is by far the best Doodle grooming demo Ive found in 8 years!!! Thank you x

[@atldoodlegroomer3768]

Thank you!

[@courtneybrown6171]

I watched this video at least 10 times over the last few days, and finally worked up the courage to groom my doodle today! It’s not perfect, but I know I’ll get better with practice 👏🏼 thank you for this super informative and detailed video! And idk why these people think you’re “too rough”. I also had to move my Oakley’s head and make him stand back up several times for SAFETY. Those blades are sharp as hell

[@atldoodlegroomer3768]

It gets easier every time!

[@my_party_of_8]

I absolutely love you delivery of instructions. I have 2 doodles and it's becoming way to expensive to take to the groomer. I rather invest in the equipment and learn to do it myself. Thank you for this very informative video

[@jennibrown9418]

Fantastic video! Concise, educational and great angles. Well done and thank you!❤

[@karenlucia3222]

I want to thank you for this video. My golden doodle is almost 12 and I thought that I might save her the trauma of going to a groomer but after watching this video I feel that it might take her longer for me to groom her. Also, I have a new appreciation for the amount of work groomers do. It was a really good video and Cedar is lovely.

[@atldoodlegroomer3768]

So glad we could help!

[@msdixie1972]

I always blow the hair out of my dogs’ eyes, too - because one of them got hair in her eye at the groomer and scratched it with her dew claw and had to be treated and wear a cone for weeks. It was so scary to think of her losing her sight in that eye. ❤️ When I went in to pick her up, there were several dogs getting groomed within close proximity at the same time and fine hair was just flying in the air. We were on vaca. I normally groom them myself and it made me even more leery. Ty for a great video. He is a good boy and his face is perfect! 👏🏽

[@rachelcrossen8136]

I can’t believe he doesn’t attempt to get off the table. You actually make me feel like maybe I could do this

[@sgood280]

Yes you can! Go slowly work with him to calm him before you start grooming. Encourage him with lots of pets and treat him when he’s quiet. Good luck!

[@lindazeiters5049]

He is so handsome and so well behaved. You should be so proud. You also do a great job of grooming. Thanks for all the tips.

[@jennibrown9418]

You did a great job of explaining WHY you do specific angles and changes.

[@abbyhartley6202]

Thank you for emphasizing to start off your grooming with a combed out, clean dog…the best foundation to providing a good quality haircut. I’m a groomer myself so appreciate how informative you are to your audience. Well done 😊

I'm loving your dog's attitude about the whole process. I have a Goldendoodle that is 16 weeks and have never had his first grooming. I think I can try to do it myself after a couple of times done professional.

[@base4267]

Did you end up doing it yourself? Mine is almost 14 weeks. I'm going to attempt it soon!

[@youhi3676]

Props to trying it yourself. I am a diva for my dog being well-groomed. My wife picks on me over it. I instead pay to know he will look great. And I use a dog sitter that watches and lets him outside while we work and walks him and recently got her to brush him for me in the morning, and ill do it at night. They are so much maintenance, but I love him like one of the kids. I just don't have the confidence I could make him look as good as I want him.

[@PuproarFosters]

Great video. Love how you talk just enough to provide great information without making us listen to a bunch of unrelated stuff! So clear and helpful. And obviously you’re a great trainer as well as skilled groomer. Thanks for sharing.

all doodles are definitely not calm. actually, most doodles seem to never run out of energy. they come from 2 breeds of working dogs so they need TONS of exercise. my doodle can happily play for 3+ hours. but they are definitely amazing dogs nonetheless.

Hun I want to say thank you soooo much from the bottom of my heart for putting this video on. I have a f1b golden doodle but she took more of a poodle and I was getting sick and tired paying 130.00 to pet smart . They always shaved her so short it was down to her skin. When I complained all they give is attitude golden doodles are naturally get knots and I comb and bath my little girl at least three times a week. And they seem to just come back again. ❤

Well we were surprised with a flat coat doodle! Looks 100% retriever and does not need regular grooming, but he does shed.

[@erins3974]

@@ChocolateVanillaBean oh interesting, so it has more of a golden retriever coat then. I want a doodle, but we have allergies, so I am thinking a 75% poodle/25% retriever might be better for allergies.

[@ChocolateVanillaBean]

@@erins3974 we got a doodle because of allergies too, and turns out there is no guarantee of how it will look unless you choose them much later than a few weeks old. He’s the only one of 12 that got the retriever coat and he looked like all the others as a puppy. He’s also more poodle than retriever so that didn’t even matter.

[@erins3974]

@@ChocolateVanillaBean oh wow, thank you for the information! This makes me a little more nervous about considering a doodle, if we got one that wasn't hypoallergenic and we were allergic to it. How is your family doing? Are there reactions to him with your allergies?

This was super good for an at home! Only suggestion is only use a 10 blade in armpits/tuck ups and sanitary. Change blades under guards often even with guard combs those blades get HOT and you will shorten the integrity of the blade and clippers
