Thanks for the video and sharing. We are learning how much care out doodle's coat actually takes and we were not great about it before. Are you not planning on making many more videos? Would love to see more updates and helpful info for Doodles! Thanks
@@johnmarkmier144 wow... if someone gets a doodle they need to be aware they're a higher maintenance dog and take care of them at best they can. I'm a low maintenance person myself, didn't plan to get a doodle but did randomly, and it is now my responsibility to do the best I can with maintenance. Get a lower maintenance dog if you have this attitude.. if you get one at all. Sheesh.
Thank you so much for this video! I've had our bernedoodle for a year and have tried so hard to brush more effectively. This video helped me see better how to do it and encouraged me to order the grooming table, being bent over her has been killing my back!
Thank you for this! My doodle is 5 years old this month, my groomer just let me know I need to brush a specific way and that's why they had to shave her down... I had no idea I was brushing her wrong. She told me to brush upward? Maybe she meant with the comb how you're checking for matts... anyway, thanks for this, I'm feeling more confident in doing a better job now! :)
Hi Heidi.... the brush that you use, is it Firm, Soft or regular bristles? I have a 50 pound labradoodle (actually looks just like Radar!). Same coat, etc.
I use a little dog moisturizer/deodorizer from wahl and I got my doodle her very own wet brush. She loves it and lets me brush her. I figured that’s what I like and use so why wouldn’t she? Hope this helps someone.
I also use a wet brush and a metal comb on my curly doodle. And a leave in conditioner. My doodle doesn't want anything to do with the other brushes. Great tip about the standing
My question is if you're going to do this yourself, what's the point of going to a groomer? It seems it would be a bit redundant and money and time wasting. If I can do this at home, I'm not going to also send them to a groomer. If I can't do it, for whatever reason, then the groomer is the way to go it seems. Because that's what I'm paying the groomer to do, this. No? I guess what I mean is if you're going to do all that already, including with grooming table what is there left for a groomer to do?
the groomer will cut the dog's coat. not everyone has the time for it (like 2-3hrs) but for brushing they do because it wont take 2-3hrs and is not as hard as the grooming
@@-salli5788 True but she said she likes her dog's coat long. If I'm not wanting my dog's coat cut, then I don't see a reason to go to a groomer if I can brush this extensively. Unless of course someone doesn't feel comfortable doing things like nails and ears but in this case she was implying the groomer would be doing the coat as well. I guess I'm not clear on what her intentions for her dog is with the groomer. To me it's kind of like having a housecleaner come in but cleaning the house and leaving not much for the cleaner to do lol
@@puppiesrlife in the video she was talking about her preferences, but the video has been made for people who dont know how to brush their doodle. so she was just showing people how to do it, she was not talking about herself :) i hope you understand what im trying to say
Here's your answer- these dogs get matted easily and it slows the groomer down a LOT bringing in a matted dog. Which translates to them refusing to take you after a while, some places are quite busy and can just choose not to take a dog that's going to take them an extra hour. Or more likley the groomer will just charge you more. Most good ones will want to run their comb through the fur before even giving a price quote. If a Doodle comes in that's matted I can just say sorry I'm busy today with a full roster, maybe tomorrow. Plus if you let your dog's hair get matted, the groomer is going to have to just use the razor at a certain point. It seems like it wouldn't happen but certain spots such as armpits, between the toes, the inner sides the legs and such, there might be places you as an owner never really touch. Or at least not enough to realize the hair is coming together and it gonna need to be shaved down. Doodles are usually kinda short but it's so curly they mat without too much problem still. Brushing them out for a few minutes maybe twice a week = theoretically a quicker and cheaper groom When your dog comes in for a groom we have to clip the nails, clean the ears, brush it out still, bathe it, do anal glands, dry it, and //then// the blow drying the face, cutting of hair and styling starts. So you're not doing half the work by brushing it a couple times a week. Just making it less painful when he gets groomed
You need to be brushing your doodle’s hair in between grooming trips. It’s the responsible thing to do. They may easily and should honestly be brushed everyday (I do three times a week a LEAST). Mats pull on their skin and hurt. Your doodle can go to the groomers with a few tangles but this is to prevent serious matting.
Thanks for this video! Great info and straight to the point which is what I needed!

He is a pretty Doodle
As a groomer, I wish all my clients were this good at brushing their dogs!
Is there any kind of detangler that is okay to use on F1 golden doodles?
Stop complaining and do your job.you will get good money plus the tip.
@@johnmarkmier144 well aren’t you just a ray of sunshine! it hurts the dog when they too matted.

Thank you! Been trying to learn how to properly brush my baby
What a big help. Thank you!
I wish my dog let me groom him like that! It's a fight every time I brush his hair, no matter how much treats I offer.
Thanks, my Loqi is a Pyredoodle like yours, just Vanta black.
You made this video for me!! Thank you!!!
My doodle pup hates being brushed. She bites.
Thank you so much for this video! I've had our bernedoodle for a year and have tried so hard to brush more effectively. This video helped me see better how to do it and encouraged me to order the grooming table, being bent over her has been killing my back!
I personally think that it would be better to use The Big G brush from Chris Christensen as It is softer for your dog. Thanks for the video.
Line brushing at its finest!! 👏

Thank you for sharing. Subbed to you 🤗

Nicely Describes in Video how to Groom the Dog , Helpful Video
