Thanks very much for this video. I've owned Poodles for many years, but have never seen anyone give such a thorough brushing out job. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! My Poodles have an every month standing appointment with our groomer. It makes it so much easier for the groomer and the owner to take care of the Poodles. Of course, Poodles have hair (not fur) and their hair needs to be brushed daily, just like human hair. Again, thank you! Excellent video!

[@JakeEpooh]

This video totally showed me a few things I was doing wrong. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

[@lisettecallis5329]

You are a nice groomer; respectful and considerate

[@minnahumble2294]

Poodles apparently like to be bathed and groomed. I watched champion poodles being groomed at the Westminster KC dog show in the benching area. They are so well behaved. I LOVE this breed.

[@GenericScreenName808]

After 18 months of learning the hard way I think I’ve finally figured out how to keep my moyen poodle relatively mat free. Thank you so much for this video and I was thrilled to see the Chris Christensen spray - I just got the conditioner and detangler in the mail today and am in love with their Mark 2, I wasted so much money on all the wrong brushes! I keep seeing pin brushes and am debating if I need one of those too.

[@JasperTheServiceDemon]

I love how his coat color changed from mostly tan to almost white as she brushed

[@lillieknight]

Thank you. Your voice is very relaxing for me too..I didn’t realize there were so many options for brushes and combs.

[@SunEater0]

My standard poodle has super sensitive skin, so I’ve got to be extra careful- thank you for the video!

[@tamarameinecke4282]

I wish (and I'm sure the groomer wishes) I'd had a how-to-brush lesson back when my standard was just a puppy!

[@judithcunningham4729]

Our poodle and I found this very informative and useful. Going to your website now to find out how to buy some of these materials. Thank you and I wish all groomers would help you figure out how to take care of poodle hair. Thank you.

[@karenturner-wensel9536]

Thank you for explaining the different brushes and combs. There are so many choices. I have 4 dogs with similar but different coats, and I had no idea what I should really use for eqch dog and to be sure Inwas really doing it properly. I don't want to waste my time and their patience.

[@MissEnya]

You seem to have a lot of knowledge and care for the poodles, so thank you for sharing!

[@gingergargoyle]

I grew up with miniature poodles, and gave the breed up until 6 years ago when we decided to get a standard size instead - the groomers have kept her in a VERY short kennel cut the majority of her life ... Hopefully your tips will help me help them to pet her hair grow out!

[@moniquejohnson2465]

[@vcelkaMaja12]

Thank you so much for showing me. I was thinking about standard poodle as my next dog, but I don´t have patience for this brushing and I´m inconsistent. But whenever I asked experienced people, the answered: "Oh, it´s not big deal with sport cut you have no work with it, you just shave him once a month. It´not that bad." Well they were wrong. And my worries were reasonable. Thank you.

[@LoveofGrooming]

My pleasure 😊

[@kayk8389]

there is a big difference between you and your gentle handling and talking and other groomers on poodle grooming vids. The other videos have shaking terrified little dogs being roughly handled for no reason with no comforting., obviously too hot dryers and blowing to close to ears. Its hard to learn watching that. So thank you so much, I'm so pleased to see you really care about the puppers. wonderful!

[@sirfluffydog3307]

I have a short haired dog- but I want to get either a bernese mountain dog or a bernedoodle, this is really helpful seems I want to be able to groom my dogs on my own! I've been watching many other groomers work on dogs and I have the basics of how to buzz a dog, but I wasn't sure how to brush a curly haired dog- so thank you! ^w^

[@msdixie1972]

I’ll tell you keeping them brushed is key. If you don’t do it at least (least!) once a eeek, you’re gonna have mats. Then you go from nice long coat to having to shear them down to the level of the mats when you have to take them out. I groom my two doodle mixes (shih poo and Shepadoodle) (gsd mix). Using a spray when combing and brushing is important, and having them clean when you give them a full groom will help mounds. I would also advise saving for a professional clipper, a table and a splurge would be a forced air fryer. I have the shernbao 4hp snd it was around $175 and will pay for itself over time since I have two I groom at home. I bought the supplies my friend who is a groomer recommended and it’s improved our grooming success tremendously. Mostly, we get quality time with them and that means a lot! ❤ plus, we know we aren’t hurting or compromising them 🎉

[@carolinehoward180]

Awww he’s such a good boy 🖤🐾🖤

[@charlieg3674]

Amazing and informative video! I was wondering if it was possible/what kind of brush to use in order to keep the tighter curls in the coat or would a short coat help maintain the curls? What affect would this have on matting? I'm looking towards getting a poodle and I really prefer the tighter curls, but I still want to make sure the dog is well groomed and matt free so that it can be comfortable and happy while working in hotter weather. Any advice would be much appreciated and I apologise if this question has already been answered. Stay safe everyone!

[@LoveofGrooming]

Hi, the best way to maintain the curls is after the grooming session must the coat with water and the hair will curl back up. Use a comb and not a brush to maintain curls. It's a lot of work to maintain curls. The more curly the more mats can form. Daily combing is ideal. You can still use a brush to brush the coat daily and then must the coat lightly to curl back up

[@alexandraocean6756]

I’m really interested in poodle and poodle mix coats! I’m an assistant stylist and I think I’ve learnt more through KZbin than I have in my actual salon… it’s nice to know the different uses for each type of slicker! The CC brushes have a weird hold on me, I can’t wait to be able to afford them 😂

[@GenericScreenName808]

I just got a mark 2 for mine and I’m so obsessed with it; almost 10 years ago I got a Mason Pearson hairbrush for my birthday and I swear it brings me joy every single time I use it (this justifies the cost in my head lol) the CC brushes remind me of those, you can’t even compare them to the junk chi ones I bought at petsmart. Check resale shops online like Poshmark, every once and a while you can snag a gently used one for a bargain.

[@johaniethomas-mcgraw2427]

I am a 10 month old standard poodle furmom 😊 He does not like to be groomed even if we started right away trainning him. (Him sniffing the tools,bath,razor,etc.) always make sure he got a chance to play, burn his energy and make sure his needs are met. He is going to the grommer since 12 weeks old always with treat and favorite toy. However, he does not like it and pull away. I feel bad for him and I am wondering if it hurts him? We need to brush him everyday and would love to make this easier for both of use. Thank you for your video it was so informative and just wondering if you have more tips for the home maintenance ? Thanks keep up the good work

[@Detalal]

Love your channel ! So informative. Do a video on best products recommendations to maintain a standard poodle hair please!

I will do my best, thanks for asking.

[@strebis6]

Question….. Maybe I missed it but the front leg you brushed upward and the back leg you’re brushing downward. Just wondering why the difference. Thanks

[@msdixie1972]

Aww that topknot ❤

[@박지현-g8d]

so beautiful!

[@Gzluweez]

I have had NO problems brushing my nice clean dog as long as he never gets wet-in the dew, a light rain, playing in sprinklers. I find that having a healthy dog that gets exercise and goes out in the early morning dew is incompatible with clean medium or long hair on legs. Body is easy, legs are a nightmare. They have to be blow dried everytime he comes in. I gave up at around 15 months, because i had to go out of town to care for a family member and nobody but me would ever keep up with that. Short hair it must be, which is a bummer. My big male has such a beautiful parti-coat I just love it. and he likes being brushed too.

[@LoveofGrooming]

It sounds like you have a good understanding of what works best for your dog!

[@minnahumble2294]

What about using a dab of conditioner when you find a knot? Would that work? When I had long hair it worked for me.

[@minnahumble2294]

I found the answer later in the video when you demonstrate a product for detangling. Thanks for this video. I’m learning a lot.

[@starving0engineer]

I wish my dog was that well behaved for a brushing! My mini poodle runs and hides when he sees the brush come out... Good tips though!

[@johnsellers2999]

Kara that's funny. My standard poodle is only six or seven months already been to the groomer 3 times. I want to start grooming him my self. With this corona bat stew flu going on I haven't been able to see what's going on with groomer or the new vet. My vet is retired ,the corona made up his mind to retire. I trusted him but anyway back to your comment,yea my dog sees that brush and goes not again. I bought a couple different brushes but after watching vids I have to get combs for sure. Good luck with your brushing chores. Peace.

[@annenewman57]

@@mattiadizard7431 I'm no expert but I've just taught my daughter's toy poodle to enjoy being brushed. I started of very gently just barely touching with a soft brush, once she had accepted that I started to brush with a bit more force. Your pet has to enjoy the experience. Best of luck.

[@penniewyatt9391]

High value trays help. Tiny pieces of Chicken or beef. My dog knows there will be a jackpot of praise and tiny but multiple treats after. There is no difference between tiny trays or big treats, they just swallow anyway, so go small.

If bathing at home do you brush before or after

Hi, it depends on the coat condition but generally if in good shape then its best to bath first

So many of the brushes on your Amazon page is No Longer Available. 😢 which do you prefer for tiny toy poodles? Thank you

[@carolinej6828]

Do you think it is possible to brush a toy poodle using only one arm/hand? If I keep it in a shorter style on the body but a little longer on the face? I'm paralyzed in one arm after a stroke and really want to get a fur baby, but I need to know all the details before deciding on my breed :) Thank you so much xx🧡

[@LoveofGrooming]

It may be a bit harder, however you can to try to accomplish brushing with one hand. Keeping the coat short no longer than a #4 blade would be ideal. Also with a monthly professional grooming schedule you will have to do minimal brushing.

Hi, if you can comb through the coat with ease then you don't need the slicker however the slicker is excellent for blowdrying. When you blow dry brush at the same time to get a fluffy coat.

New poodle owner here. Is there any way I can get by with just one comb and one brush? Or are all of those essentials?

[@ivyrose779]

I’ve done research about grooming poodles and doodles and my only experience with them is my 5 month old doodle, so keep that in mind. I feel like you can get by with just a comb for a while as long as you keep them mat free. After that, to me, it’s fine to get a slicker brush that works for you to use in addition to your comb. The slicker brush tines need to be long enough for your dogs coat. Once you get that down and get more experience under your belt, you can decide if and what you need to add tool wise. Imo, it’s silly to say that you must have all of those different combs and brushes for at home grooming.

[@LoveofGrooming]

Rip the skin open? This has never happened in over 40 years of Grooming and never heard of a groomer saying this. Why would you think this? Are you a groomer? Most likely combs can rip skin if used incorrectly.
