Grooming Guide - Standard Poodle Miami Trim - Pro Groomer

[@michellehewitt6171]

It's SOOO refreshing to watch another professional groomer grooming an average pet (not show) dog. So many times I think "I wish my dogs would look that good when I'm done with them". In this case you did everything EXACTLY as I do them in my small town shop that sees far too many strip-down cases and not enough "fun" cases. Thank you for demonstrating an easy to care for clip that I routinely do that is geared perfectly for the owners I have who want something stylish yet easy to care for. Great job!

[@leevi1080]

and now we know why grooming costs as much as it does ..... thats a lot of work. Good job

[@asininehuman7168]

no. 1. you do not bite your hairdresser 2. you do not poop on the ground and 3. your hairdresser doesn't have to clean your behind 4. your hairdresser does not clean the inside of your ears. 5. the hairdresser doesn't have to *BRUSH* your teeth. 6. you don't claw your hairdresser. 7. you do not move when your hairdresser is doing your hair. 8. you do not whine like it's hot. 9. the hairdresser doesn't wash your bathing suit areas.

[@KatrinaFelix]

And this is just part of it... You also have to give the dog a bath and trim its nails

[@nimbusnoel427]

Awesome job. I used to bring my 2 girls to the groomer and it cost a lot each time. Now I do it myself. I invested in good clippers and I screwed them up their hair the first few times, but each time I get better. Thanks for the lesson.

[@enakleefeld1506]

This.was so wonderful to watch...ideal for me right now pre-grooming training...please do more styles! Loved the lady groomer and.very.easy to follow. A little more explanation of trimmers would also be helpful...thankyou and cheers! Ena

[@nothanks00]

I love the Miami cut!! So cute and GREAT for hot weather or service dogs who still need to look professional but the owner can still get a fun cut!

[@service_poodles]

Baylee, Chewy & Vader =) it's the cut I do on my sdit

[@freyajarrett150]

She is sooo pretty at the end! Love her sweet little face!! Good trim for a pet poodle but I personally love the continental :) Very diligent camera work btw.

[@ak9041]

Thanks for the lesson! I normally take my pup to the groomer but I’m trying to learn to do it myself. This is a very informative video for newbies like myself.

[@ozmommi]

I know this was shot in 2013 but I just have to comment. This is the best, "go to" video to watch when I groom my standard poodle. I always sent my boys to the groomer, but money is tight now and that is one place I can lower bills. It is a hard job and I know how hard groomers work. This groomer is matter of fact, and it is a great instructional if your doing things your self..

[@ozmommi]

Also, I would love to know the brand of that cordless clipper. I know this is a old video but I would love that cordless.

[@mabelkuehr-mclaren9034]

​@@ozmommi It's a Wahl! It's a 5 in 1 adjustable, probably the Arco, but I can't quite read the model along the bottom of the clipper.

[@penelloyd9735]

Very helpful in finding the height to start the bracelets

[@sharonstevens4239]

Love the Demo and love this cut! I always have my poodles cut like this. It works great for the heat in Central Texas.

[@surfettekw]

Can you please list the brand and model of the tools used please.

[@renaudah]

What I love about this cut is that the dog looks great even when she comes in shaggy. I will definitely try this when my spoo gets older and outgrows the puppy cut. Thanks for the vid.

[@cherylcarnes3046]

Beautiful job on Trixie. I wish I could find a groomer here half as good as you. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@missysoasis9510]

I watch a lot of grooming videos and don’t hear groomers mention to check blade heat. I hold my clipper to my wrist to feel if it’s too hot.

[@muddywaters538]

If you go to certified pet grooming school, it’s very strongly stressed. These are just KZbin videos.

[@alexsac7840]

To prevent the blade from getting hot u would better have to put some oil on it And everything will b ok

[@tayannarenee8166]

She really makes this look so effortless and easy lol it took me 3 hours to do a damn mini in a Miami b/ c of the poms

[@mariateresavarbaro3780]

Thank you. I'm impressed the dog doesn't need a leash to stay. Very good job!

[@tufur08]

I like the talent of this woman.

[@nadinesnm5355]

Nicely done. Pup was not particularly fond of the cameras, and not wanting a trim that day. Confident handling. Thank you for the demo.

[@marilynmiller7320]

What a gorgeous dog. A smart cut for a smart dog xx

[@veronicajones7007]

Excellent grooming and explaining!! Thank you for the wonderful tips!!

[@thedogworldtv]

Thanks for watching!

[@gregschroeder5828]

Incredible result. You're incredible and very impressive. We have a new standard poodle which is 6 months old now. He's a real rascal when it comes to baths and clipping. I wish he'd stand as still as Trixy, but he's all over the place and hates it making it nearly impossible to trim.

[@ethanlamoureux5306]

The more and earlier in life you groom your dog, the better he will be. They do get used to it with time.

[@lizhuber1579]

It’s time for obedience class so when you ask him so sit down stand stay he will and you will both have a better experience. The groomer as well will have a good grooming experience with your fur baby. He is at prime time for learning

[@halloweendancing]

Thank you so much! I do my poodle myself to save money and this is so helpful ♥️ great cut for California summers

[@PromisedJubilee]

That dog is SO WELL MANNERED!! My poodle is still learning how to be still for grooming, she HAS to have a collar holding her up.

[@brigetteramovs]

Absolutely gorgeous work! Beautiful Trixie!

[@DeistReality]

Thank you sooo much for sharing this information freely!!! We have a poodle that looks just like the beautiful one you're working on.

[@theresacarroll4597]

Such lovely trust between dog and groomer!

[@apicklebehaviourist6581]

Not really, she is holding it's the skin of her throat to stop the dog from moving. Scruff or collar, fair enough, but never the throat.

[@FrancesBaconandEggs]

+A Pickle Behaviorist yeah the dog does not look like a happy camper

[@dragonbrn]

The dog is not stressed at all. When you actually know what you are talking about, then you can comment. Every hold and stretch she had on the dog was to protect the dog and keep it safe and uninjured, which happens surprisingly seldom in the industry, given that we work with a moving target and razor sharp tools. This is a beautiful, clear instructional video. Learn something.

[@carla19581000]

Excellent video! I am going to groom my new Poodle and this has taught me so much! Please share what size of blades you use and more about the type of trimmers you use on the face .

[@CarlVandenberg]

She did.

[@EC2019]

This is such a cute, funky trim. Love it!

[@brendalou111853]

Very nice! I haven't wanted to use this clip on my dog, but you've made a believer out of me. Thanks so much.

[@wooglins]

Thanks for this. We just got a Poodle puppy and this gives us an excellent guide to use as we learn how to groom her.

[@apicklebehaviourist6581]

No it isn't, you should not be doing half the things this woman does, especially the pinching of the skin as she does, it actually hurts the dog more than you would think. And for a pet dog you should always leave 1/2 an inch of fur, at least. Any shorter on a et dog and it will get sunburnt, carpet burns, grass stains, very cold when wet or at night even in warm climates, as well as badly affected by dirt, easy pickings for ticks, and the risk of ingrown hairs. Try a puppy cut, it is what most pet owners do. As a general rule you should never use the blade of the shaver on a dog directly, there should always be a attachment. Even if it takes longer, using small blunt scissors on a dog's face and paws is much better and safer than a shaver. The woman shown in this video is not a 'pro groomer.' Maybe she is someone who has groomed many dogs, but that does not make what she does the right way to do it.

[@apicklebehaviourist6581]

She is not gentle at all, watching this back makes me sick. She should not work with dogs. No compassion at all. THIS is the way to making a dog dislike you. It should be your friend, enough of this "alpha' crap. You should be able to make your dog do something without using your hands, and if this woman has to result to pinching, there is something clearly wrong.

[@LarimeWD]

+A Pickle Behaviorist You've clearly never been a groomer and have no idea how to groom a poodle.

[@narrowistheway2426]

+A Pickle Behaviorist Are you kidding? Have you ever groomed a dog? She is not scruffing the dog to be dominant.. she is pulling the skin taut so the clippers will glide smoothly so as not to miss hair or not catch any skin. BTW I'm a former groomer and I know what I am talking about. Would you rather she not pull it taut and she either leaves chunks of hair unclipped or possibly the skin gets caught in the blade and cut?

[@publicmail2]

Of course she pays for the service, and then complains about everything, and 10 to 1 has a spoiled, undisciplined child and dog. Just a theory though. Anyone that would rant about how poorly the dog is being treated in this video has a screw loose.

[@sephorakc3372]

Wonderful video. Thank you. This will definitely guid me when I get my poodles..thanks for sharing

[@Autsom57]

Thank you for showing this video

[@mattiesful]

Heidi, you and Trixie made that session look so easy. When I try to groom at home, my dogs become like alligators that I have to wrestle with. I have been trying to do my boy, but i'm so afraid i will nick/cut his skin. I don't really care if he has bits and pieces here and there. He's old and has Cushings disease, so I just want him to be comfortable. Thanks for this in-depth video.

[@Maebfilms]

The picture in my head of you wrestling them like alligators 😂😂❤️❤️

[@mamig3216]

Get a grooming table! Such a game changer, my poodle went from a spinning gator to a good boy

[@PGU13BHEI]

Thank you. Picked up a few things from your scissor work on the ears. Always disappointed with my blending from the ear to the knot.

[@cshula1]

Really beautiful! Thank you for the lesson.

[@flutterbydragonfly]

She stands so nicely. ❤️

[@dorriskibort543]

Very nice and the dog is so good.

[@viridissol1458]

Thank you for posting this! I'm getting my first spoo and I would like to groom it myself and I favor the clown cut!

[@Capturedonmaui]

What brand of clippers, trimmers, and scissor spray to you use??

[@miritam]

👍Absolutely Gorgeous ! Very Professional Job, Well Done! 👌Could be very useful if you list on description below on this video the blades number size you use on body and, paws and face please 🐩

[@IonIsFalling7217]

She's a good groomer, but someone fire that camera man. That dog is utterly gorgeous.

[@juliaolenemoser5438]

Thank you for this demo., will try to trim my two standards.

[@LadyRed797]

aplauso para el perrito muy educado y tranquilo =) y la señora, que habilidad mis respetos !!

[@goldsun1000]

She's gorgeous and so sweet! What a great grooming model.

[@therapypoodle]

Excellent video and instruction - thank you.

[@jodibarkley]

Just might have to try this clip on my 6 poodles. :) Thanks for the Demo. I think you did a great job.

[@Judy1957]

What brand of clipper and trimmer do you use? Thank you

[@toniflorence6339]

Nice work and great tips

[@raymawst5370]

Thank you for sharing!

[@joanwells5684]

I am going to groom my dog myself after all these 13 years. She is not in good health, so a loooooonnnnnngggg groom session will be important. Wish me luck! She cannot take going to the groomer for 3 hours. My senior girl has special needs now, and I can't find a groomer to take the time with her. :(

[@jackiestevens456]

Joan Wells I'm a dog groomer that specializes with senior clients. look for a groomer to do one on one with her groom her straight through. also a low maintenance trim would be easier on her. one length all over so it's quicker and she doesn't have to go as often. if you have never groomed a dog before I don't recommend starting on your senior dog. she needs a professional to finish her as quick as possible. also risk of nicks are much greater with seniors as they have thinner skin. please seek a professional

[@lucindacarpe6039]

It is really too bad that people that don't enjoy the breed have to get on here and make negative comments. What are you doing watching a 40 min poodle grooming video? You really must have NO life. Also, I am suspecting that these people are jealous because owning a nice poodle is expensive and they can't afford it!!

[@mattiesful]

Lucinda, most of us poodle owners don't pay any attention to the negative people or their comments. We know what a wonderful dog we have, we don't need to have people affirm that.

[@laurag.5862]

Lucinda Carpe just because people have a differing opinion doesn't mean they are jealous.

[@laurapalazzo7586]

Lo ley

[@sosweetbaby4]

I really agree with you 💯 for some reason theres a lot of miserable people smdh 😒👎

[@sosweetbaby4]

mattiesful and those people like YOU that sounds so arrogant GEEZ CHILL TF OUT BE HUMBLE 🕯🙇📿

[@marilynmiller7320]

This cut is brilliant. Does anyone know what spray she is using?

[@ultramanxk7]

Very lovely video!

[@kellygoen9668]

Great tutorial video!!! I have a standard poodle, the same color as Trixie. I'm interested in maintence grooming at home. What kind of trimmer is this?

[@MariaVazquez-hf6eg]

Love those trimmers. What brand are they?

[@salvadoralvarado481]

Awesome job! Can't wait to practice with my poodle at home. Which comb is best to brush the poodle?

[@mp2537]

+Salvador Alvarado Greyhound combs work great on poodles

[@marymorales2978]

Very nice video

[@robertwaite837]

love the trims!!

[@commonsensebeliever6723]

What is that spray called that you use to help it stand up?

[@jeffmelaniehall119]

Nice tutorial. Do you have a recommendation for a trimmer? I have been using the clippers but my dog doesn't like it on his face so much and I thought I would try a trimmer.

[@margaretverburg6035]

Could you show how to define ears from topknot. I have two standards and would like to know how to trim my self...

[@tanyatchounkovskii454]

Great tutorial! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@PatriciaWilson-h3y]

can you show how to dry the poms to make them puffy?

[@MegaNadler]

I meant the cordless trimmer! Thank you.

[@uktuki]

My Trixie is Famous ! 💜💜💜

[@venessacampbell9288]

lovely! I like this clip with a 7f I cant stand it shorter

[@RandySoWavvy]

How long does the Miami clip last? I have a toy poodle and his hair grows insanely fast like I can shave his face with a 50 blade and next week it'll be completely fluffy again like I never shaved it in the first place and the texture is like cotton he knots so easily I have to brush and comb 3-4 times a day and he'll still get knots and matted hair sometimes.

[@s.s.4170]

She is a gorgeous dog!

[@vocvisa]

So did you use a 7 first and after bath you use a 7f on body

[@yesh3279]

Hey, love the Miami Trim. This way I can have two pets for the price of one, a Poodle and a Goat, Great!

[@marvan1316]

what trimmers do you uses???? Thanks

[@shiningstar2903]

Mar Van they went through fur like butter

[@wildliferide3288]

Feet- 30 blade Face- 30 blade Gential area- 10 blade on trimmer Body- 7f blade

[@hfan94]

How often do You need to have the dog groomed to maintain this cut?

[@blustarr57]

Thank you that was so helpful!

[@juliadarlinn]

Was the dog brushed out prior to filming?

[@mabelle334]

Very informative!

[@erinlight5020]

Did you use #10 on the face?

[@Tatis151]

algún día seré como tu!! lindo trabajo...

[@publicmail2]

Do you wire brush hair before clipper or is it easier for clipper to get thru without fluffing after brushing. Or opposite do not brush fluff before clipping?

[@dragonbrn]

Depends on the condition of the coat. Clipper blades work best through clean, brushed coat, but if the coat is matted and dirty, it is not very nice to the dog to demat that stuff, so we would clipper before the bath and rough trim the damp coat that is left (usually legs, head and tail) before brushing the mats out of the still damp hair. (Leaving the coat damp loosens and lubricated the hair to a point. A leave-in conditioner sprayed into the coat helps with light mat removal as well.) We DO NOT CAUSE DOGS PAIN in the course of grooming. If it comes to that point, we will shave the animal down, let the coat grow back, and start over again from scratch. If you cannot get a comb through the coat, from the skin out to the ends, the hair is matted. Hope this answers some questions.

[@publicmail2]

yes thanx I have a teacup poodle, so clipper blade has to be very sharp and I find misting the hair helps blade cut the very fine hair.

[@alicecoakley5427]

Her scissor confidence scares me

[@chloe7seven22]

How long does it take before that blade is too hot? I got my miniature poodle back from a parlour and he had immense clipper burn on his very tender tummy skin. Here in South Africa we have to make them quite naked during summer especially on the high veld.

[@Flippityfloop44]

Chloe7 Seven it could also be because of the blade itself, some dogs have very sensitive skin and if you clip the hair short it'll cause razor burn.

[@jessicadonakowski8675]

What is in the spray bottle please?

[@anitabatistic8174]

She looks awesome 👏 🐩

[@tatiamosiashvili2979]

What a clever dog! My dog gets crazy when I start grooming...

[@ayseva77]

wonderful, thank you for interesting video

[@4UStevePerry]

You did such a great job, Heidi! Id like the back of the neck cleaner though. I hope I can do as good as you can. What a sweet and pretty girl, Trixie is. Im trying to get into grooming school right now.

[@Gaby74237]

Do you ever tell her she is doing a good job?

[@arwinderak4796]

how to make dog clothes

[@THEE.apples]

You didn't hear her say good girl.

[@alicecoakley5427]

Some dogs if you do that they get all excited and start bouncing around and moving around the table. Rest assured im sure she got praise when she was all done!

[@brightday3369]

Thank you. I might try this.

[@elushka29]

Heidi ! The best groomer in England

[@MrMarks4]

I love poodles.. beautiful dogs..

[@narrowistheway2426]

Nice job, good video. What clippers are you using? I noticed you really didn't seem to check the temp of the blade. I'm assuming you must have clippers that don't heat up fast. Would be nice to find some that stay cool longer.

[@roselenat]

Narrow Is The Way how often do you change your drive and oil the. Kippers and the blades?

[@Sterase94]

Why don't you show the drying and brushing process as well?

[@tufur08]

This a good pragmatic method of cutting poodle hair. The reasons for cutting in this method are not given . I cut my poodles feet to avoid puncture infections by fox-tail seeds and brimbles. The inner ear is cut as far as I can reach. When the dog goes under anesthetic, I ask the vet to remove all hair in the ear canal. I hand shear with scissors, very carefully. Pets mart is your friend if you don't wish to do these simple maintenance things.

[@Judy1957]

James Sandwitch If you have a standard, you can clean the hair from their ears with hemostats and then clean with an ear solution; either homemade or store bought of your choice. My standard hates his ears cleaned, but it's a necessary evil. I hope this helps and saves you some money!

[@tufur08]

Judy G I just learned about ear powder and how to use it with hemostats. Thank you.

[@Judy1957]

Oh yea, the ear powder makes it very easy to pull the hair from the ear canal. I use long 8" ones. Thanks!!

[@sjochim9934]

James Sandwitch Petsmart is not your friend...I worked there as a groomer for 4 years. Avoid them!!

[@feathersong5838]

I dont like how short you made the font poms, they dont match the back ones.

[@starrama7711]

great cut. you can't be too sweet to them. they can be naughty, as much as we love them. that is the price of being an incredible beautiful dog.

[@wendymiller2221]

What kind of spray are you using?

[@adrianabonilla6044]

What a beautiful girl. 🐩

[@margaretverburg6035]

What trimmer are you using..how do I thin out ears

[@hootymcboob3271]

Very Carefully

[@MegaNadler]

What brand and model of clipper is that?

[@memewalkerb5305]

Long ears drag the ground and pick up ticks here in the northeast USA at least.
