Remember everyone! If you can’t brush out your dogs coat in 2 months, your groomer cannot do it in 2 hours! 🤗 Plus your home grooming determines how well your groomer can style your dogs hair.

I love the Chris Christiansen slicker. Flexit is great too. When I get 'cottonball' poodles i spray down with 'The Stuff'. The silicone in it really helps the hair to slip and come unmatted during brushing. Cuts down time and pulling on the dog.

Thank you so much for actually making a very informative video about how to take care of a doodle coat! I've been searching for a video that doesn't recommend putting silly stuff like cornstarch in the coat so I can help my clients better understand. Again, thank you for taking the time to do this ❤

@vcelkaMaja12 Год назад

Thank you for exhibition. I was thinking about standard poodle as my future dog, with sport haircut, but I´m not able to brush him every week like this. So thank you. Anytime I asked anybody about brushing, they said, that it´s not a big deal when they are in short cut. But this really helped me to realise it.

@koyaharvey-walker3794 4 месяца назад

As someone with a human curly haircare line and a cockapoo I genuinely feel like slicker brushes are the main reason curly coated dogs hate being brushed. We use a metal grooming comb occasionally and two denman brushes d3 and d81 daily. It only takes 3-5 minutes as they glide through. We only use the metal comb once a week to make sure there are no knots. We live in a muddy area so autumn to spring she gets bathed every two weeks. One wash is a shampoo and conditioner wash and the other a diluted conditioner only wash. We detangle with conditioner and it gets rid of any tangles and have a professional blowdryer at home which takes around 15 minutes. She is tangle free and loves being brushed and washed.

Standard poodles are basically so well-behaved that if they flinch and whine like this one while brushing, you should know he is giving you a clear indication that you are being too rough and hurting him. I felt so sorry for this gorgeous dog. Next week I am getting my s-poodle and now I know what not to do. How would you like someone scraping your head with a wire brush for Pete's sake.

We need to think for ourselves, not make a decision because we are supposed to. That's dangerous on so many levels.

Where would we be without our beautiful slicker brushes?

@heatherlyng491 3 года назад

If you brush them every day it's less painful for the dog and less time-consuming for the human. It's like our hair if we don't comb it out everyday our gets matted and hard to comb out. Poo dog owners need to realize it's just an extra step in having a poo, but its worth it they are amazing. I have a BichPoo and I comb her every morning while I am drinking my coffee, it takes less than 2 min, I spray her with leave-in conditioner called vets best moisture mist so it's wet and then comb her hair out. Her coat is always healthy the vet is always amazed when she sees her.

@felina3262 3 года назад

If you have a really curly haired dog with long hair it can damage the fur if you brush it every day and don't apply products on it and can make it more painfull for the dog so we only brush our poodle every 3 days and we dont gett any knots at all only a lil behind the ears cause he likes rubbing his head on the couch but thats about it

@RobynMichaels1 2 года назад

Every day is a waste of time. Use a proper slicker brush, and if the dog isn't going through a coat change or constantly getting wet, once a week should be enough.

@shelbyarthur133 3 года назад

As a curly haired human I use a curl detangler on myself and my dog. Curl detangler is better than those wired dog brushes

@2Mytab 3 года назад

Hi there. Do you use a water blaster after a (wet) walk to avoid hair clumps (instead of a towel for example)? what's your experience using a blaster? thanks, Jeroen

@tlcdoggrooming 3 года назад

Yes, we sure do! The Air force dryer, or blower as we call it. This dryer is the most used item in the shop. Depending on how dirty the dog gets on their walk you can most definitely use the blower to get excess water off. However, depending on the length of the dog's hair you can make "whip" matts so you have to be careful in that regard. But it does work wonderfully.

We are using the Chris Christenson Coral slicker brush. This is an amazing brush, however a little on the pricey side. If you are looking for something a little more on the affordable side you can try the Miracle coat slicker brush in Medium. This brush is available on amazon and at Ren's Pets Depot.

@slasini 3 года назад

Hi and thank you for an informative video. We have a BichPoo/PooChon. She is 11 months old and she is extremely difficult to brush because she does not like it and won't stay still. I have even tried on the kitchen counter. It helps a bit, but still a struggle. Is it possible to give her Benadryl and it would relax her enough to maybe get through it? I just need a bit of advice. Thank you.

@shannonbriggs100 2 года назад

I’m really late on this but I thought I’d give my advice in case anyone else is struggling with this. I have a Cockapoo and she absolutely hates getting her hair brushed and it was a big struggle to keep her hair tidy. I ended up using treats like chicken, that I would hold in my hand and allow her to nibble at as I brushed her very gently. I’ve been doing this everyday for 2 weeks, gradually brushing her for longer until she barely cares/notices I’m grooming her. Can even do her nails now without issue. My way of thinking is that it would get her to associate the brush with chicken (something she doesn’t get unless the brush is being used) and as such have positive feelings when seeing it rather than getting scared and hiding like before. It’s working well although she is still doesn’t like me having to brush out her knots, so I’m having to be patient and just take small steps everyday. TL;DR - Find a treat that your dog absolutely loves and only give them it when brushing them.

@UknownWorlds 4 года назад

Hi there I have a bichon/min poodle mix and I want to keep his hair curly haired curly but I want it maintained. I want long curly hair out but I am wondering do I comb it through after bathing or should I use a detangling conditioner? What are your suggestions?

@felina3262 3 года назад

I dont know for sure but i think you can use a mix of coconut oil and something else forgot what it was something like curl definition cream for poodles or in general curly haired dogs

@tlcdoggrooming 3 года назад

Thanks for the great comment! You can actually do both. We often recommend using some sort of detangling spray before combing especially in dogs that have long hair and it will help a lot. You can shop at most local pet stores and in the aisle where all the shampoo is they will have lots of conditioning sprays that you leave on after the bath. Another little trick is once you have fully de-tangled and de-matted (if there are any), and while the dog is drying or if he is dry you can just mist him a little with a spray bottle with only water or mix a bit of leave-in conditioner in and just spritz him enough that it barely makes the coat wet and his coat will get really curly and 'messy' looking.

@gaiainanna9069 3 года назад

Is it OK to brush again the way the hair grows as you’re doing on the leg? I have a six month old Labre doodle who is extremely curly, and I mostly use the comb on her and brush her every day. I don’t know if I really need a big brush like the other one you have… If the comb works and I do it daily, I guess it’s enough?

@tlcdoggrooming 3 года назад

I brush both ways. With the grain and against. The most important part is running your metal comb-over with the grain to ensure you have gotten all the tangle out.

@serenatorres9625 4 года назад

I have a Cockapoo with really tight curls. What are the best brushes (brand) and combs to buy? Also would you recommend a detangling spray, and shampoo/conditioner? We like to keep his coat similar length to the dog in the video. Any recommendations is much appreciated! :) 👍🏼

@joshchelvolski1033 3 года назад

You can ask your veterinarian for the best answer. For my dog i use a standard wire brush for dogs to brush her fur and for shampoo i use baby shampoo which is very gentle on my dogs skin and coat.

@minminnn1758 2 года назад

As long as your dog has a thick coat which your would it is fine and does not hurt them. If your dog is old or has a very thin coat then a softer brush is necessary. Obviously you should not press down with a lot of force otherwise you may damage the skin. But other than that it is highly recommended to use a slicker brush

@jessicawaugh7506 2 года назад

Is it better wet with conditioner? Just found a tiny curly matted dog on the highway. She's a mess and I have to clean her... I am new at the dog thing. Help asap! Thanks!

@tlcdoggrooming 2 года назад

Absolutely, however, you have to be careful because if she is already matted, bathing her, scrubbing and all the things can make the matting worse. So it might be worth checking in with a local vet to have her shaved and start over. FAR more comfortable for the dog in that case.

@shaneedwards6640 3 года назад

I usually save bathing for the groomer every 3-5 weeks, unless something happens that a bath is necessary. They dont get that dirty when you brush out debris and dirt everyday and use wipes to wipe their paws and faces clean.

I have a toy poodle. The groomer showed me that brush to use on him. And yo brush him when he’s wet. Is that true ? And does that brush hurt them ???

@tlcdoggrooming 3 года назад

Thank you for the great question! Yes, you can brush them when they are wet, especially if you have used a leave-in conditioner or a detangling spray, however; make sure to give them a good towel dry, and then you can brush them. But you need to be careful because it is easier to give "brush burn" when they are wet. As long as you are using your tools correctly and not overly working one area you should not have an issue and the slicker brush will not harm them.

@sarinarouth4122 3 года назад

so it’s not good to keep our poodles hair curly ? i am getting one soon and i’d like to know

@tlcdoggrooming 3 года назад

No, you can keep it curly. Actually, there isn't anything you can really do to make the dog's coat not curly if it is natural. As long as they are matt-free with frequent brushing and combing, the dogs coat will typically stay curly. Just like your hair may be naturally curly or pin straight. The dog's coat is very similar.

What brush are you using on this video please? It looks a nice length pin. I have a double doodle, and it is like brushing a sheep. Also how long would you work on a dog that has matts in one session. I think i am too gentle when i brush as i have long hair and know what some knots are like, are dogs tougher than humans? Signed a first time dog owner.

@jillw2607 3 года назад

Very helpful, but as a person with curly hair please do not brush this hard or this fast you can see the dog flinching because that hurts maybe get the hair wet before you do that I don't know that Just looked painful

@tlcdoggrooming 3 года назад

This is why we do these videos so that brushing and combing can be done properly and SAFELY at home. Unless you have owned a doodle and are experienced with their coat type, it is impossible to tell from a video how thick her/their hair really is. Also, human hair and dog hair are two completely separate things. There is no pain being had by Reese in this video.

@ladykarolyn1 2 года назад

Dog trainer in training here (commenting on a 2 year old video but whatever): this dog is giving clear indication of discomfort with lip licking, yawning, whining, and head turning, as well as just trying to pull her paw away from the brush. Her coat does look better at the end, but she's very unhappy while she's getting there. I don't know if your technique is more comfortable for her when you're not doing it from around the other side because of camera angles. But if the dogs are doing these behaviors, they're experiencing discomfort and fear. A positive reinforcement dog trainer could help you learn how to make the needful (and very healthy!) practice of brushing into a more stress-free experience for all parties. Happy, comfortable dogs cooperate better!

@ladykarolyn1 2 года назад

And, just to be clear, I'm not judging you or saying you're a bad person. My mom raised me with the belief that combing your hair hurts if you're doing it right. But then I wouldn't brush or comb it myself (because it always hurt) and my hair was a rat's nest. I had to learn a new skill (how to comb it without pain) so I could have healthy hair habits I'd actually keep up with. Sometimes we just need new skills because the ones we already had weren't giving us as much success as we could have!

@bugbean5500 11 месяцев назад

@@ladykarolyn1Thank you for your comment! I grew up with my parents using a lot of force and pinning down our poor poodle mix for brushing and grooming because she didn't like it.

I myself did some courses on medical dog training and I was in tears about it all being possible with consent and cooperation because the screams of pain from my beloved childhood puppy still haunt me in my dreams sometimes.

is it easier to wet the golden doodle to get the hair damp and then comb through i just be so delicate i don't want to tug at my dogs hair

@tlcdoggrooming 4 года назад

I personally don't do it that way but understand why you are asking. One of the most important things to remember is that your brushing and combing will always be easier when you are working with a clean coat. Pick up some detangling spray or leave-in conditioner and that definitely helps with knots, tangles, and matting. Good luck and good for you for getting in there and working hard with your Doodle!

That’s a pretty standard issue, we don’t have any dog clients that LIKE to be brushed, but brushing is the most important part of the maintenance for your dogs coat. It’s not about enjoyment, its about getting mats and tangles out so that the dog DOES NOT have to be uncomfortable to be scalped because it is so matted. That is far more dangerous and uncomfortable then brushing ever will be for a dog.

PET PARENTS! At home You should ONLY use 1. PIN BRUSHES: rounded pins mounted on a rubber pad with trapped air underneath. (There will be a hole) 2. Wild boar bristle brush (not synthetic/plant based) with the same rubber cushion for gentle brushing. Use of a SLICKER brush (seen in this video- the dog is visibly in pain) is highly discouraged. These brushes are for professional/trained groomers ONLY. SLICKER brushes will: -cause harm to your pet’s skin -damage your pet’s coat. if your dog is too matted for a pin brush- it must be taken in to be groomed/shaved.
