Grooming A Large Goldendoodle | Professional Tips

[@janettameierotto7116]

This was so refreshing to watch. It's so refreshing to hear a groomer speak so kindly of Goldendoodles, I see so much negativity online surrounding the breed and it makes me sad sometimes. I have one that is just the sweetest girl and I always worry I'm gonna take her to a groomer that secretly hates her 😂

[@GroomingByRudy]

Thank you so much for your kind comment. They are Sweethearts..

[@MrGreen-dp4oz]

Got one, he's the best😌

[@InnocentCinnamon]

I’m a bather and the big goldendoodles we get always have the best temperaments!!! It’s the owners that don’t brush their doods and let them get ultra matted that our stylists frown upon haha

[@rlong8038]

My doodle is training to be a service dog, my trainer says she will be an awesome service dog. She picked up on services naturally. I don't understand all the negativity surrounding them. I know several people with doodles and they are wonderful dogs.

[@YouWontGuesslt]

Most doodles I see at work are wonderful! They have sweet personalities and are generally cooperative dogs that are eager to please. The only thing that upsets me is when their owners neglect them in between grooming appointments. Those curly dogs deserve to be brushed and combed through!

[@gatorbite3351]

I am staying with relatives who have 2 Goldendoodles. One is 110 lds and one is 94 pounds. They are awesome dogs. They are brothers and are super sweet but very protective. The younger is smaller, sneaky and loves to play. The older boy is like a bear. He still thinks he is a lap dog and when he flops on you it feels like a car fell on top of you. Amazing dogs.

[@mayito714]

I've had many dogs in my 67 years and have never had any of them be as sweet and loving as the Golden-doodle I now have. They are smart, loving and always want to please you. They are however, high maintenance as described in this video.

[@donnamathias5973]

Such a beautiful video! Beautiful dog! You kindness to Chico is so sweet 😊❤️👏🏼

[@59Schnauzermom]

He is such a pretty boy and so good on the table

[@FearLess_SunKissedCaramel]

I have a Goldendoodle also. She looks exactly like Chico just a girl. Are used to take my dog all the time to the groomers but honestly I don’t like the way she looks after that. They always cut her down to the point that I don’t like it and she’s never mattered which is what I don’t understand. So what I do is I brush her hair every two days with a good comb and brush. I also use a really good conditioner for her coat and a really great shampoo. I use a pet blow dryer to get her dry faster. I’m waiting forI do shave around her paws and I go in around her face with a scissors. I tighten up her edges on her feet lol. I like my dog with long hair, so I am actively taking care of her hair. You have done an amazing job!

[@karissasanchez3953]

I’m a firm believer that the dog feeds off your energy and that’s the reason Chico is so calm! Love to see a gentle groomer

I had a similar experience watching this video! :) very gentle vibrations!

[@gerrodmendham461]

Yes, very relaxing delivery & very positive! The breed does help though, they are fantastic Dogs! I have a 4 year old GD, Simba & we just got a gorgeous & adorable 5 month old Irish dood, Chester!! Very smart, confident, fast learners, super friendly (with all Dogs & people!) & chilled out! Simba does not like going into the groomers ONE bit, but afterwards they say he's been really well behaved! I think he must have had a bad experience that we never found out about to rectify? I gave Chester his first haircut 'myself' a few weeks ago (I've watched dozens of full doodle grooms on KZbin, but after we'd had Simba already a few years!!). I took ages showing him the cutters not turned on and pretending to groom him (He is not afraid of electrics: Hoover, hairdryer, lawnmower etc!) then just gently turned on over his back like a massage (Treats & kisses seemed to pacify him lol), then under belly & legs, not perfect, but really positive experience for both of us, left his tail & head alone this time, mainly because I LOVE the shaggy tail & face look on doods!! This video was excellent, but I could watch doods all day, they are such goofballs & seem to put me in a feelgood & happy mood!! 5 stars *****

[@tessjackson1727]

I have a mini golden doodle. It is true that grooming doodles is a lot of work. I groom him at home. I am not a professional groomer but he tolerates me very well. I find it very therapeutic when I groom him. My doodle is very sweet and very friendly.

Great and very helpful video. I have a 70lb Goldendoodle that I am trying my best to groom. I have the most trouble figuring out how to use the clip on combs correctly. I am afraid of using the 10 blade in that I will clip her too close or nick her. I have the hardest time with her face and feet which she doesn’t especially like. Takes me easily 3-4 hours to do her. You ideas or suggestions will be most appreciated

[@maureendiederich4571]

Thank you so much! I groom my goldendoodle. He's my service dog. Loves being groomed. Like a massage. We listen to the same music each time. He enjoys the Cats broadway soundtrack. He was a black pup and now very silver and black. Eyes are still black which makes him cute.

We have a springer doodle who is 3/4 poodle 65 lbs. We couldn't afford to keep bringing him to the groomer monthly. Bought clippers and scissors and it payed for itself in the first 2 months. I like keeping his hair short, 1/2" during the summer because he likes getting in the water and getting dirty. The hair gets too long and he overheats. Long hair acts like a big mop carrying the dirt and mud everywhere. The grooming videos are greatly appreciated. I'm upgrading my clippers this next month.

Our Golden Doodle is just a bit over seven months. When she turned six months, she was slightly over 70 lbs just prior to being spayed. What a marvelous dog! When you mentioned durable, you were spot on. When I come home, I like to sit on the edge of my bed and take my shoes off. She's learned that if she can catch me in this position, it's play time. I hear her coming down the hall at full tilt and I prepare for her flying leap onto the bed. Her objective, I discovered, is to catch me with my back to her - she throws her two front paws on my back and attempts to push me off. (I'm 6'2" and 250, so we're pretty even...) In any event my wife tells me to take our "wrestling" outside where we can roughhouse and not destroy anything in the room. I can't tell how much we both enjoy this interaction. I'm sure there are lots of folks who would abhor me allowing my dog this much latitude. As for being smart, she knows when the grandkids come over and tones it down for them (6 of 'em at any given time). I just can't say enough good things about this dog ("Lexi").

Rudy, you've got to be one of the most gentle North American groomers I've seen on KZbin. Just liked and subscribed. I have a standard labradoodle whom I brush and comb everyday except for the time I've been sick. He loves snow and played in it for few days and got all matted. You are right they are great doggies but are really high maintenance.

We are dealing with matting on the regular on our giant Goldendoodle, Max, who gets wet in the snow all the time. We’d been trying to keep his coat a little longer and that’s also gotten us into trouble with keeping him mat-free. Conversely, if he is shaved too close it irritates his skin (the groomer uses a hypoallergenic shampoo and conditioner). He is adorable and we love him so much but unfortunately he is not as compliant as the cutie in this video. His next appointment is January. In the meantime we’re looking for tips to clip, trim, and detangle so our groomer and Max don’t have to face a prolonged ordeal. I’m also going to have to convince my husband that Max needs to be clipped shorter. Thanks for this great video!

How can anyone dislike this video? I have a cockapoo that looks identical to Chico but he weighs 25 pounds. His name is Noah he is 15 years old, and he is right when he says this dog is very sweet and great with children they love people they always try to please. On my bad days of painful fibromyalgia, arthritis he will lay next to me all day long and stay there until I get up . We have a cabin on the water and when we get to this Cabin Noah is so excited the first thing he gets his tennis ball then he stands at the top of the hill ...he drops his tennis ball watches it roll down the hill over the dock and splash into the water. He then runs down the hill over the dock jumps into the water and retrieves the tennis ball!! He will repeat this action on and off all day long! He will entertain himself because he knows we are all busy unpacking putting food away and settling in. He now can’t hear anything. He sleeps a lot more, but still has those occasional moments of excitement and jumping around like he is a puppy again. Only thing with the breed they are a lot of work as far as keeping them groomed. Invest in very good grooming clippers scissors and Watch lots of DIY videos about grooming this breed.

I have a doodle that just turned one and she’s only been groomed by a groomer once. She’s pretty good but it’s definitely a learning process for me. One of the best things I’ve learned/realized is that as long as you’re safe so as not to hurt them, are able to keep them mat free and keep their nails, sanitary areas, and around their eyes trimmed, it doesn’t matter what it looks like at the end of the day. Of course, we’ll get better at making them look pretty over time, but dogs don’t care what they look like. Good luck with your pup!

I'm a long time in-home groomer and I've found that doing the head with similar technique done on a Bichon Frise (except ears of course) gets my mind set in gear.

Really helpful video, I have a small mini goldendoodle. I am always happy to come across a grooming that I can see step-by-step instructions as I will be her groomer!! Thanks for being there for each of us owners and pups alike!🐾🐾❣️

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for your kind comment

Owners might want to consider doing a lot of the grooming work themselves. The workload of Brushing, cleaning teeth, clipping nails, trimming hair, bathing is high. My household always has a human present, as Goldendoodles really need people. I do my own grooming as it helps me maintain his skin for moisture to prevent itching scratching. You have to help the groomer a lot, or do it all. I prefer goldendoodles to standard poodles by the way...

Such a great video! It was so sweet to hear you talk so nicely about this sweet boy.

I have a Goldendoodle weighing 90#…I love him more than life’ itself. He lays, yes lays down when I groom him. One side at a time.

What a sweet pup. I have a 4 mo pup. Half Portuguese water dog, half Labradoodle. He's all white (for now) with chocolate ears. I am brushing him every day, but think it's time for a visit to the groomer. This was such a nice video.

[@GroomingByRudy]

Thank you so much for your nice comment..Good luck with your new pup..

[@bobandchristinewilson2422]

Thanks for the video!! I have a Springerdoodle - I really want to learn how to groom him since it gets expensive to do grooming every month. What is the length of the blade you used use on him?

[@GroomingByRudy]

I'm using a #2 guard comb attached to a 30 blade

[@pennykafai4645]

What a wonderful video. Your commentary is so calm and informative. Chico is a beautiful well behaved pooch. So pleased not to see rough treatment of the dog as I have seen from a number of KZbinrs. - thank you

Thank you so much, I thought this video was amazing to watch. My wife and I just rescued a Husky-doodle. (White with blue eyes.) We initially had to have Ducci's coat cut all the way down for medical reasons, but 5 months later, and a very beautiful coat, he's due for his first professional grooming. I'm really not sure what to expect since he is a Husky mix. He too is a large dog at about 64 lbs. We're nervous, but after seeing this video, I'm ready to see the results.

When you say 1-1/2 - clippers comb are you referring to inches or the number of comb?

My black golden doodle weighs in at 105. She’s on thyroid meds and strict diet. According to my groomer, she wants to lay down while being groomed. She gets groomed monthly. So much different than our late Standard Poodle that didn’t even need to be tethered while grooming. Both were adopted at less than 3 years old. Our Poodle lived to be 14! I hope to have my doodle has many years with me. What a sweetheart!

[@jessef.81]

Chico is such a good boi!

[@markhoffman3621]

I have a black golden doodle. He is as good as this dog when it comes to grooming I'm still grooming. And has a super sweet personality. Always wants to please and run run run run...

[@leahs.6780]

Thank you so much for explaining this process. I want to try doing some grooming in between visits and this was incredibly helpful!

[@GroomingByRudy]

Thank you so much for your kind comment, so glad it helped

[@karennichols4160]

I love your kindness to Chico and great teaching. It is a pleasure, even relaxing, to watch this. Thank you!

[@yanichambers9900]

With this music and your soothing voice I can watch this all day long💜 🐾 I wish you could be my Bernedoodle’s groomer. You seem to be extremely caring. New subbie here

[@GroomingByRudy]

Lol..Thank you so much for your kind comment and for subscribing. We appreciate it so much.

[@Sue906]

Oh my goodness your so adorable Chico ❤

[@msdixie1972]

I love how you pre-groom. I have to cut my dogs’ mats out first or the wash will just make them worse. And both of mine mat like crazy no matter how much I brush bc they’re long and we have property they play on. ❤

My service dog 🐕‍🦺 Dunkin is a goldendoodle. He is 16months old..easy for the groomer.. He weighs in at 75lbs.
