New Release: Techniques to Make Thick Coated Doodle Grooming Easier & Satisfying

In this video, award-winning pet stylist Irina “Pina” Pinkusevich demonstrates grooming techniques for Doodle-type dogs.

Making Thick Coated Doodle Grooming Easier

How many of you groom big Doodles with soft, heavy and dense coats? Lots or you, right? Making them look good can be tough. Getting them smooth is a challenge. And when do you know you are “done” with the grooming?

If you are rolling your eyes right now, or nodding your head as you read this… this lesson is for YOU!

Irina “Pina” Pinkusevich offers plenty of advice for grooming this breed. She is working on this dog from her south Florida salon, Pash. This young Doodle is huge. His coat is super soft, so it shows every clipper and scissor mark. He also happens to be a ‘farm dog’ with lots of acreage to play on. The owners want a stylish cut, but it needs to be easy to care for at the same time.

There is no getting around it. This is a time-consuming job. But you don’t have to drive yourself crazy. Will it take time to turn this into a stylish trim? Yes. But with the right products, tools and techniques, you can get there much faster than you would imagine.

New Release: Body Contour Trim on a Fuzzy Senior Golden Retriever

New Learn2GroomDogs release for Members! Lisa Leady is an award-winning professional pet stylist and popular grooming demonstrator. In this video, she shows you a great shortcut to get the perfect Golden Retriever contour in a flash.

Dealing With a Heavily Coated Golden Retriever

Golden Retrievers are a favorite purebred. We see them in our grooming salons all the time. Most of the time they are a simple bath and brush style dog. Easy to do. What happens if the dog’s coat exceptionally thick? The coat is shedding? And the owners want some of the coat removed – but not shaved? What do you do?

In this lesson, Lisa gives you some great ideas on how to deal with a heavily coated senior Golden Retriever. The owners were frustrated with all the loose coat in their home. Lisa shows you how to retain the natural beauty of the coat while bringing it under control at the same time.

Lisa shows you how the right tools can eliminate much of the loose undercoat. She then demonstrates how to trim the feet, ears and feathers for a shorter, but natural look. As she’s working, she shares with you the products and tools she loves to use with this type of work. She also gives you solid handling tips when dealing with an older, large type dog.

On a dog this fuzzy, it WILL take some elbow grease before the coat is under control. But as Lisa explains, if you get this type of dog on a regular schedule, you only must do the heavy work once. After that, it’s just easy maintenance to keep the dog looking and feeling their best.
