Doodle Doods

I have scoured the internet many times for dog grooming information not knowing exactly what I didn't know.... these lessons have provided tremendous amounts of information. The information provided is certainly great to have if you plan to start grooming your doodle yourself, as we plan to. But I now wish I would have known what I learned in these videos when we were taking our 2 1/2-year-old Aussiedoodle to the groomer over the last couple of years. We would certainly have been wiser in our expectations, questions we would have asked the groomers, and overall more educated consumers and caretakers of our Doodle.

We decided to do our own grooming after being charged $200 from a groomer who claimed to deal with matting. He was not matted...we brush him completely on a regular basis and check him over before we take him to the groomer. This course increased our confidence and saved us a lot of time and added expense. If you follow all the recommended purchase options and training, it can be a fun experience. We spent a lot of money on improper tools before viewing this site and it is a shame we did not find this course and website sooner. Just remember...have fun. A bad haircut is always fun to look at and it will grow back for the next training session.

I took this course with the expectation that I would learn how to groom my doodle, and I was not disappointed! This is something I will go back to again and again for help. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This was a really great course with both reading materials and videos. She did not waste time with a lot of filler fluff. She gets straight to the point. I highly recommend this course for any doodle owner. I have a Sheepadoodle and thanks to this course I am well-prepared to start my DIY doodle grooming from home.

Knowing that my pup is reacting as Whitney explains, is reassuring. Breaking the grooming session into sections is less stressful for both of us. As I get better at this I hope to stop taking him to a groomer at all

Grooming Demos was very educational to watch. I have been grooming my doodle Luna for a few months and this has helped a lot.

I have learned so much already! These videos are very easy to follow and the instructions are very clear and concise. I am starting to feel confident enough to give this a try!

It's a fair amount of reading but there is alot of great information. I've been grooming my poodles for the last 5 years and now i have 3 little doodles that i've been doing but there were a few areas where i was struggling or i just couldn't figure out how to do. You actually helped with most of that. I never shaved between paws but i know you should and we live in the stickers and mud but i was afraid to get in those little areas and cut them. So watching you do it was helpful and knowing I could use safety scissors was nice too I had trouble getting around mouth and noses to ever look good, it was choppy and uneven and the spots that grow to the eyes i always just cut short...so i learned a few new tricks there. I also did not know about curved scissors, so i ordered some and i'm guessing they will be a gamechanger in some areas around toes and face and belly. So thank you. A couple things I wish you would add. 1. Use other dogs with different coats and styles in the vidoes, if my dogs coat is not like Chloe's there may be some other tips/tricks to learn by watching. I know you say it's all the same but all 3 of my doodles have different coats and I struggle alot with the most poodle like coat because she has an really fine coat, really curly and then in some areas she has almost an undercoat. The clippers just drag thru her and it's like torture for both of us. I did learn some things to try from your video that may help improve this so hopefully that will solve the problem but would be nice to see you work with different coats 2. A little more commentary in some areas may have been helpful...it's still helpful to watch you do it, but maybe a little more talk about how to achieve different things around ears, face, smoother cut, how to get that really fluffy poodle cut if you want, etc. Overall excellent, great for beginners and even people like me who've been doing it awhile but were self taught with some concerns about doing it right and a few struggles. Thank you!

I am loving the videos so far. She give a attention to detail from shampoo to shears, all the material I will need to groom at home. I want to see more detail on a longer, more full cut.

I am getting a new doodle puppy in 4 weeks. I have had others in the past but have never been confident enough to groom them at home. Taking this course has given me the motivation to try grooming the new puppy from the start. The course has answered so many questions and given great suggestions on products to use for grooming. I will probably go through the course several times before actually attempting to perform a full groom but that is why I'm starting before I get the puppy. Instruction is very clear and to the point.

I love the step by step videos and I can watch them over and over as I am grooming.

I am very thankful that I found this course. It was extremely helpful in deciding to groom my two mini Goldendoodles at home. All the videos and Whitney’s knowledge she shared have made my experience grooming easier.
