The BEST & ONLY way to SHAVE a GOLDENDOODLE short! 

I wish to see you groom the face close up, I didn't learn it from this video.

Great job!!

Very nice

It’s nice to hear a groomer who loves and enjoy their job.

What scissors do you use?

We have an F1B shipoo, with a VERY strong poodle coat and stature. She's 14 lbs. I prefer easy for me so I opt for nice and short all over and even face, with fluffy ears and tail. Easy peasy. She still looks pretty with the fluffy ears and tail and it is easy for me to maintain between groomings. We have a WONDERFUL groomer who is also a standard poodle breeder, so she's great with grooming a doodle who has such a strong poodle coat.

The lion cut... I think its absolutely adorable.. thank you for the lessons..❤

Body 3/8" head 2steps up - 5/8" One step up Muzzle& ears -3/4" Then trim ears to leather.

First time watching one of your videos! I work at a grooming salon called “dandy doodles” lol. We get A LOT of doodles! We do get other breeds, but we will never have a day where even a single groomer will not have a doodle! If I could critique, thinner the eyes more. The corners of the eyes will open up the face and keep him from looking so sad. Great job!

Sam is super cute! What shampoo/conditioner do you recommend using for a matted goldendoodle at home?

He pulls his legs back I think coz u do pull them back at strange angles I think 🤔 no hate i think ur great got somw good tips! Suscribed 😊

Kinda hard to tell, but did you clip him with a number 5f or 7f? I've been a groomer for 31 years and am just curious as to why you don't clip first bathe and then finish.

8:29 do u have a clip on there? Also for a German, or form me, its hard to understand what length you did, the body is on 3mm? And the head? Thanks

Great job as always! You're such Master Groomer giving him a perfect hair cut and controlling his hyper behavior!👍👍👍

Awesome groom!! He looks great!!

So many people have goldendoodles, I guess it's a really popular breed nowadays. I can see how this type of job can do a lot of wear and tear on your body. We appreciate you groomers.

Great cut! You should see my guy! He is an adorable goldendoodle! Love keeping him shaggy but a lot of attention needed to keep his coat looking perfect. I admire your dedication to your craft!

What size is that on your detachable clipper?

I am watching because i shaved him and got some spots that went to short…looking for pointers…but i also bath, dry (blow dry), and comb before clippers.

Where are you located? I could sure use a professional golden doodle specialist on hair cutting for my girl. We took her to get a professional cut and it took 3 groomers to get her done. Never took her back. My family cut her the best they can, she doesn’t like to get groomed

Totally wish you were in my town. You treated that pepper like family and he came out cute!

This video is so impressive..I wish you were my doodles groomer. My doodle does not like grooming from anyone else besides me. She poops every time she gets groomed on the table. Lol. She does great with me, but my back can't handle the bending often. Any suggestions?

What blade number do you use for the body cut?

How much does a cut like this cost?

Can you use the groomer for the face too?

What clip size did you use?

You're really great with dogs! Wish you were local to me! I have an F1b Saint Berdoodle. He has the thick, wooly coat of a Saint with tight curls. He's a ton of work, but a total sweetheart so he's worth it 😂 I got a bad back, too, and have to take lots of breaks bc i don't have a table yet. Thank you for sharing this, for those of us who do most of our own grooming!

Scary to watch when video is played so fast with scissoring the face

What clippers and blades do you use? I have 3 doodles and need some advice. Love your videos

New subscriber as well! I love your videos!! Keep it up! I recently started grooming ny own Dog to save $$$ and my Dog is just more relaxed with me doing his nails etc. My friend Jess is an AMAZING Groomer, but sadly she isnt able to do home-calls anymore; and Declan-Pierce isnt comfortable with anyone else. Now hes at the point where he falls asleep while im grinding/dremeling his nails. Im so proud of him. Today im giving him this cut, and wanted to see someone else do it; in their own way. Thanks for the tips and inspiration!!! ❤ I look forward to many more videos. Btw, Declan-Pierce is a Bichon Poodle Miniature 🐾

I love a clean paw pad too ! I have a doodle and that’s my favorite part of the groom besides her topknot 😂

❤️ the video! Where are you located?

Do you have a video on grooming a mini snazer? Your work is AMAZING !

I have a little Poochon, poodle & bichon mix. His hair is similar to a doodles, very curly. I just groomed him on my own for the first time & I gotta tell ya, it’s not as easy as it looks. Props to those such as yourself for sharing these helpful videos!

Absolutely phenomenal video! Most informative that I’ve seen. Thanks!!

Just got a puppy cockapoo.. and have decided to groom myself..When its needed. Teddy is very similar to him.. So your advice is greatly appreciated 😊

Looking for a golden doodle groomer in NYC who won’t make my pup look like an old owl. I’ve tried so many of the groomers and they all do a pretty bad job of his face. Please let me know golden lovers.

We have poodles and doodles at our daycare. We like the look of the poodle cut better than the doodle. Many times the doodle ends up with a big head 😂 Poodles get their faces trimmed down more which give them a cuter look. Poodles also have balls of fur around the ankles. So cute

What thinning shears do you use?

Great job! The cut looked great! 🐾🐶❤️

That is definetly a transformation, he looks super clean and neat. Great job as always.

Golden Doodles are SOOOOOO nosey.

I have a labradoodle/husky. She is a puppy park accident. You wouldn’t be able to tell she has husky at all. She just looks like a doodle. She hates her hair being longer that 1/2 in on her body. She will whine until I groom her. I love the teddy bear cut, but I’m trying to get it to work with her. She’s the size of a corgi, but is 35lbs. She’s a chunky girl. Trying to get the legs and paws to fit the cut. Definitely will be referencing this video in the future.

I had 2 Goldendoodles who were first doodles for my groomer and vet (2003) and they did a great job. They were learning as doodles were almost unheard of back then. I now have 2 Australian Labradoodles who have a "breed standard" groom per the AALD Association. (I know they're not a recognized breed). I like the teddy bear cuts with legs a bit longer. I like a beard, but the ALD's have a particular cut where the ears length follows their jawline...which looks adorable. It's difficult to get a groomer to get it "just right"...especially the first time. I read so many complaints on the FB groups and it makes me sad for the groomers because every person has a different idea and each dog is different in hair type, condition and personality. I've realized communication, kindness, patience and working with the groomer is key. I now provide pics and don't just say "shorter"...i try to give numbers for length. It's been so much better. Most all groomers want to please and give clients what they want, so I will work with them a few times before going elsewhere if they don't get it. Current groomer does a good job now after a few tries. I know it can't be easy. Your did a fantastic job on that sweet boy...really cute face, which, in my opinion, is the key. I can tell you love what you do, as well as your clients! I subscribed. Hope your back hangs in there a long time so you can continue doing what you love.

Where are you located? My darling Lucy is badly matted deep in her coat. I brush her, but it just fluffs her out. I'm worried about her skin and health. Last time she was groomed it was awful... and she wasn't matted then. She was a puppy and it was her first cut.. scared us both

Great grooming! I wish you were near me Can you show sometime a video of a close up face groom. Happy New Year.

Could you mention again the blades you are using I know you mentioned 30 on paws. Thanks

So cute!! I have an Aussie doodle. She is overdue a groom, and I have new clippers. I have most of the mats gone, but she won’t let me get under her ears -she shakes her head; and twists away when I try to work on her belly and inner flank.

Love it! He turned out so cute. I have 2 new doodles and wanted to see the cut…I will probably still turn them into poodles since that is the only cut I know…Ugh! I love a clean face and feet so they just look like long tailed poodles in the end.

Put a bow on one golden doodle lol

What state are you in? You are great!

My dog doesn’t like his legs pulled out like you do. How does one trim those areas without doing that?

Man I would love for you to teach me! I have small dogs, and have such a hard time grooming them. They hate it!

Can you show how you hold your clippers…i think that may be my problem…trying to see how you do it on the video

Thnx for your skill; I struggle wt creating the face shape(TBH, yorkie, schn, hav, etc,

I have a service dog and I work at a spa so I try to get him done monthly. I usually ask for a shave with exception of his ears and tail. I do like the groomer shaving3 or 4 fingers of the base of his tail so he doesn’t get poo on it.

This is the perfect doodle cut 😍 so glad I found this before my doodles groom appointment in a couple of days. This is exactly what I’ve had in mind but have a hard time explaining it properly. Thank you!

Came out cute! Nice job!!

You’re top notch! Thanks for sharing!

I absolutely love your videos! I have watched this same one at least 4 times bc I have a 1 year old who looks like Sam-only more poodle. I wish you were closer and I’d bring him to you! Could you do a video more in depth on how you cut a doodle face like this? I feel like I always get in front of the eyes too short which makes Archie look sad-even with going up on my guard. I love how much you love these babies. You’re so talented. ♥️

I’m so happy I came across this video!!! The bandana is great, I will try that next time!

Looks like you do a good job and take your job serious. From what i always hear PetSmart gets a bad rep

Schnauzer cuts look amazing on a doodle that has hair that more to the golden side. The Go-T looks amazing

You are amazing! You are a master doodle groomer! Thank you, sincerely, from a doodle owner!

Super amazing skills!! I'd enlist your services in a heartbeat for my doodles if I was closer to your shop. Keep on! You really are an artist with a doctors touch!

Thanks!

I would like to try a lion cut, have you ever tried it? It makes the dog like a tiny lion.

Awesome job!! After bath and blow dry, how long on average does a cut/groom take?

Do you have a video of doing nails? And what grinder do you use?

we have an year old doodle and what a great job you do, we had to shave her and were given no choice

How do u determine shaping for the sani-sam sani looks triangular

You did a dynamic job as always.

WOW amazing!! You did so good, love his cut! Everything you described him as is identical to our 10 month old doodles personality! 😄

The thing for is to have his head face the cam in order to see how the face is shaped

wow youre so good at this.. this is exactly how i like my doodle to be cut! i wish you were in Philly !!! def subscribing to your channel.

I love your doodle. Standard Poodles and doodles are my favorites. I loved your remark about cutting with a dirty coat. Don't you hate when other groomers tell you how to groom? 😂. You do great as far as I'm concerned

Thanks!

Trying t see your stopping point on shaving the paw pad

Omg , I need to have you do my new doodle puppy!!!!!!!

Taking my doodles tomorrow to groomers who would I request this cut so my groomer knows what I want? Thank you in advance

Do you have a link to the trimmer that you are using?

Thank you so much. We have tried a few local groomers, but they could not trim our doodle. Thank you for your professionalism and expertise

Hey, I just got a doodle and I’m going to try to groom him when he gets his adult coat. You do amazing work.

So many great tips here! Thank you! What type of grinder do you use for the nails? Thank you!!

My dog loves holding paw & hand too. Such personality this pup has ❤

You've got a new subscriber... very nice. Thanks for explaining the process.

Teddy bear: round fluffy face, short body. Fuller legs are adorable but I'm more concerned with the round face on my doodle

I have a male sheepadoodle-14 months and about 57 lbs. we get his body and legs very short. He has a long tail and I would call it a fox tail shape. (My groomer does a very nice job with it.) we don’t do a really obvious teddy bear head. It is a bit longer than his body, but not very round.and I like his eyes to be very clear of hair so that he doesn’t run into things in his exuberance. My groomer describes Oliver’s behavior very similar to what you were saying.🙃

You did such an amazing Job!!!❤

I have a shorkie. Her hair is so soft it mats easily. I do her grooming and I cut her hair very short. Makes it a lot easier to keep the mats off. Now my long haired chihuahua/Pomeranian mix can't get the clippers near him. LOL

Idk but I'm about to find out.....pray for my doodle haircut to come out good lol😂

What guard length did you use on the legs? Most videos say to scissor cut the legs but my bernedoodle doesn’t have the patience for scissor legs.

What do you use for conditioner?

He look s so like my Labradoodle Waldo

I feel your pain as I have degenerate back amd disc disease and rheumatoid arthritis, so I had to give up work as now I walk with crutches for support.

Sam is GORGEOUS! New subscriber… you’re a wonderful teacher and groomer… Sam is a walking business flyer showing your patience and skill level.❤

Can you make a break down of the exact guard/blade sizes you use??? Please!

I have a long haired dashund and I like to keep her shaved short, cos she is low to the ground she sweeps the floor with her body and tail and is for ever getting sticks n leaves stuck in her fur and in the summer she is too hot.

🤍❤🤍I would never get a Goldendoodle UNLESS I could bring him to YOU to groom! I Love how you groomed this pup!

He is absodoodly precious
