How to groom a standard poodle at home
How to Groom Standard Poodle
Timecodes:
hey all thanks for watching DD Croix on
YouTube and my favorite groomer this is
Flynn he's a new client Hey
he's so cute isn't he so he's a pretty
big dog and we're gonna leave I was
gonna do half off his hair he's a
standard poodle but he doesn't look like
it does he maybe it's cuz of his face
we're gonna play around with you the CDs
we're gonna play around with this face
today they're gonna let me kind of play
with it cuz it's so wet for some reason
you love to like drink water like all
crazy so today we're just gonna do the
grooming part cuz I've gotta get doing
some dog upstand demos so I need a
hustle but we're gonna try to get the
guard one guard is where I would like to
be every time they come in so that's a
lot of brushing at home so that make
sure that slash brush time during the
grooming process we already talked about
that
I got a comb out and showed him how
tangled he might be underneath the coat
and right against the skin so they're
gonna work on that in the future so I
made go lower than the one guard we'll
just see how it works out when we get in
there because it's a lot you know it's
obviously a lot more brushing to get
your guards through but educate your
clients so they know how to help you
help the dog have a very fast quick
smooth grooming session and here we go
okay so I'm gonna go ahead and start
he's so big my camera's so far you guys
get your face masks if you want a face
mask email me I'll get one we'll get you
one okay
so I'm gonna actually use I'm going to
test my one guard and see how much
brushing I actually need to do
beforehand but if you need to brush just
get in there brushing don't waste time
trying to run your guard and brush at
the same time I've done that before it's
such a waste of time I'm gonna see where
we're at with this try it run the guards
by itself
that's really coming up really nice
there
that means the brushing is happening
right so I'm gonna check with my comb
though so make sure I'm just not getting
my top coat and this is one of his first
groom song so he's really uh docile calm
if you got a knot remember what's that
and come back to it don't just sit there
and keep tugging at it at this point
you're gonna waste time and again I'm
gonna play with the face and kind of do
some you know whatever I want with it
right so we're gonna play with it
because the owners are like real
laid-back about what's gonna grow back
but we do have a short face they don't
want to do the original Standard Poodle
top line but they do want that short
face so we're going to try a couple
things to help eliminate that water from
dripping all over yeah I touched his
mouth and it's like sopping wet dripping
so if he's still dripping now he's
definitely dripping all the time at home
so we just want to kind of clean that up
oh yeah I'm liking how fast I'm going
through this coat right now that's
awesome because when I was running the
comb through definitely some fairy is
that felt like it needs brushing curse
you know I think the neck we definitely
will have to come back to the lippy he's
doing great he's
I think nine-month-old she said maybe
[Music]
[Music]
so this is my ten guard with it or sorry
ten not blade with a one guard on there
kind of got some tangles in there not
too bad though
bring this ear forward here we're gonna
come back to the faith runs a clean face
with my best trying to leave some
topknot stuff without creating a
standard poodle top not so see how that
goes
I'm all about trying new things and then
we can always change it up next time
around - I said they were happy Nico
what's up girl
the long video so I know you're watching
we go out of California right California
a girl messed up right now
yeah I thought I'd googled you I think
um you're out she does seem a pet rescue
so chat with her on YouTube you guys and
go support causes so go check her out on
Facebook Miko put your your Facebook
page on there on the comments would you
okay come over here
and this table is any demco table it's
not my favorite but this is my favorite
this thing you guys see you back there
when I'm right it's not really hot so
I'm up but all up in the video you're
looking at my bra
you bring you in over here see if this
works better nice but you here cause I'm
watching you though you're doing so good
[Music]
take too much hair to accumulate and got
a clean out bank on old toothbrushes
keep those around was great for your
cleaning situation I have a bunch under
my sink and my groom so on you know in
my trailer
so old toothbrushes for those of you
watching take your old toothbrushes to
your groomer don't devalue them for sure
that are not groomers
[Music]
here on that spinal cord with the bumps
here the bone excuse me I don't know I'm
talking about right now right bring that
skin this way so you're not bumping up
every one of those discs same thing over
here bring it on
move that with that skin you probably
already know that but just move that
over
[Music]
[Music]
while we're going through this nice
[Music]
so glad he's so cooperative
it's amazing right there amazing
attitude this is our first group do I
say that already got some tangles in
there okay we got through
[Music]
you ever seen the dog hike their leg to
pee well that's exactly how you wanting
to bring their legs up and down okay
something that they do already
[Music]
this is fine doing all these lines I'm
going this way and that way but you had
a web see oh my gosh those lines would
stick and you don't want to do that you
want to pay attention to your lines if
you have a different type of hair so
you're there you're shaving okay
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
oh yeah we're looking so good okay so as
we're grooming if you're running into
where the hair is pretty staticky or as
we're getting into these winter months
have yourself a spray bottle of either
leaving a conditioner which I have here
you guys know I love this stuff my
leave-in conditioner bottle in the way
it sprays it's so cool you spray can you
see that probably not
sprays and squirts and sprays all like
that so cool if you want one let me know
email me and then this is my just
sprayed on my blade but then I always
have this one but you know now I just
hate using this one it's just a regular
water bottle it's got water in it spray
your hands if you're grooming a dog see
how much pressure I got to use my own
hands to get this one spray that's why
the other ones so awesome
get your hands wet have lotion on before
you leave the house and then that will
help you not have so much static with
the dog if you're doing hair cutting
because of the lightness that disgust oh
sorry buddy
it's the lightness it gets do that too
but he's not having too much static but
I can see right now that during the
winter months he probably would as
you're grooming to keep that hair down
so you can actually work with it and I'm
gonna clean my table here so I can do
the pads I like to see what I'm working
with what's still on the body or not
y'all should know that by now right
okay I'm gonna come back now with my 10
and since we're facing this way I'm
gonna just leave the camera there so you
guys can see I'm gonna do the 10 here
real fast boy uses watching me it's
kinda cute be careful back here but do
clean that up when I build private parts
I kind of imagine myself that as the dog
and see where there might be at if I'm
taking a poopy and they want a fluffy
tail but I'm going to clean up some of
this area
foods good kind of you know as he's
squatting and doing that whole thing I
love to do the clean-out tummy so I'm
gonna give him a nice cold tummy here
here in Texas that's the best part of
tiled floors with dogs is they get to
lay down and get their tummy right on
the floor my girls do it anyway okay
just going to make this arch right here
with my tan back and forth leaving that
wine alone but just kind of clean that
out on the back side here
he's pretty cleaned out of here all
right I'm actually because he's got
these big floppy ears I'm going to shave
the inside of them to give him some
coolness lightly all through the ears
here on the inside and it looks like
I've got to come back and do some
[ __ ] so take note you know okay
let me do the pads and we'll come back
to the face so I can move the camera for
you guys
while you're working try to think two or
three steps ahead shoot while you're in
life try to think two three steps ahead
so if I move the camera then I got to
move it back you know stuff like that so
might as well get my 40 out do the pads
while it's facing them you know I mean
that's what I'm trying to say
saving time is a word of what how I want
to live my life at a time you fishin see
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
mmm-hmm hey Bob Lutz cameras there I'm
going to continue on with the nails and
if they look good man don't push it you
know if you can kind of see where the
veins add don't push it if you don't
know what you're looking for then don't
be doing nails and just look out for my
video for I forgot this pad here need to
come back well just keep watching
subscribe so you can find out when I
load that toenail video it's gonna be a
while but it's going to be very
educational
over here you can actually reach in and
grab the arm here and do the nails from
this side with these tall dogs or with
the very aggressive dog this is a great
way to actually get them to think that
we're on that side of their body so they
try to fight that way don't ask me how I
know that nails are not that bad so
so there's not much to take off I'm
going to kind of tip the ones I need to
because I might not see him for two
months just in case
come back and do this pad that I almost
forgot
[Music]
[Music]
okay now we're gonna go to the face and
play around with it I know we need to do
with seven right so I'm actually gonna
start a new video here fifteen minutes
so I'm gonna start a new video with the
face okay this is what we're working
with on the face I'm actually doing a
peace sign so he didn't light look at me
peace
okay now let's play around with this I
know we need to go short on the muzzle
here and not muzzle but here down here
all this wetness we want to take off
we're not like you know so go and get it
out of there
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
go fast this is not a very fun area to
be in
it's already starting to turn like a
maroon color from the saliva just being
on there a lot and water so get it out
of there now would be great
[Music]
before it starts smelling really funky
right
and I'm sorry guys this is my seven here
I'm gonna fade fade this in here in a
minute
Oh kind of like that look so I'm gonna
go like this take it down the muzzle as
well
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
okay that's kind of cool let me stay
over here Flynn
[Applause]
[Music]
I'm gonna fade that back with the four
guards so fade that in with a four guard
here in a minute
he's gonna be like wow I could dip my
whole mouth in the water bowl now okay
let's get a tin and a four guard and
again just play with it if you have
clients willing to let you kind of get
give give you give them what you what
they want but be able to kind of show
them like where it could go from there
you know then do it have fun this is
supposed to be fun this is what you do
for a living
although I do a lot of aggressive dogs
and that's how no it's fun but it's to
me it's very challenging I'm not trying
to create a topknot but I am kind of
fading some of this stuff in with my
four and we'll come back to it in a
minute and see what it looks like they
didn't really want to do the poodle look
but this is looking really cute you guys
and I didn't do a 10 clean face so maybe
this won't count as poodle all right
what do you think okay come on
so fading all that in with the four down
I must look slightly do a fade in the
back here no no which means I kind of
letting up a little bit so it all kind
of blends before you don't just keep
driving before through all of it right
because we did a one guard everywhere
else hmm
okay okay
[Music]
I don't want to do a topknot right look
at your face think it's your face are
you wagging your tail anyway did you
tell you it looks like a poodle now I
see some of this stuff here I'm gonna
clean that with my ten only your lightly
there
okay let me take it isn't strike so
let's edge up the ears I'm gonna take
the ears
totally around I'm not quite going to
the leather yet but make sure when you
start really wanting to take some length
off hold that leather so you don't cut
the dog's ear at all so I'm just do I
can see where the curlicues are so I'm
doing those just attack
yeah we just kind of clean that up let's
just clean it up for now
okay see what we got here I don't want
to do a topknot right so maybe I should
just leave all that alone just gonna
take some of these sticking out
yeah I'm just gonna leave that just like
that I'm not gonna shave the top at all
so this is kind of what we're looking at
all right we're going to bath and I'll
do a last finished up video thank you so
very rarely do you get to really see
like how the poodles hair grows right so
check this out it's so wavy right that's
me just getting done with the bath and
that's how wavy his hair is it's so
curly look how it grows out it's like
crimped hair to remember the crimper Wow
I am spending a lot of time with Flynn
so we're gonna do a little bit more on
his head here if you have a regular
blow-dryer go ahead and take your
attachments off making it totally flat
here and then you're gonna get the
slowest speed and we're just gonna try
to just air dry more of this head alone
okay
you okay Zoey that's good you let me do
that so let me get my camera that's cute
hello okay and I get your brush so I'm
going to take a picture like this yeah
you don't you what do you do it
you're so cute what are you doing do we
blow dry your head okay
I'm gonna brush this all out here I'm
gonna brush backwards here can you guys
see ya bring you in closer I'm not
trying to create that top knot
unfortunately I did take this sides of
the face and everything down the back
hey B yes Oh
be right with you
gruber we are continuing with the into
product here and he's happy and I'm
brushing him all through before we do
the rough out here we go
I've already gotten some brushing done I
forgot to turn the camera on so the
other side has brushed a pen or brush
already
his skin is new to the brushing so I'm
trying not to push too hard I'm just
very barely grabbing it because I did do
some brushing in the tub you'd notice I
didn't brush earlier so very little
brushing is causing I can tell the skin
is a little irritated so I'm just not
trying to push too much and that was
just from brushing in the in the tub so
we just need to get his skin used to
more brushing make it a strength in it a
little bit so I am just not trying to
push too hard ears are a tiny little
damp that's just me because I don't try
to force it upon them and the blow-dry
session you can see the dog up stand in
use during the drying on a different
video I just loaded shorter one but that
dog up stands really really helped him
stand up and dry fat and like help me
drying him faster so cool
it was so cool
mom and dad said he loves water you know
drinking water being around water he's
constantly looking in the tub when she's
bathing the things we do with our dogs
okay
so he'll have a fluffy head when we get
done here but it's a little damp now not
to me it's not a big deal you know not a
big deal if you have a client that does
mention that's a big deal then you know
work with them on that have them assist
with the blow-drying so they can see if
their pet is good or bad at blow drying
or just pushing it it's like too much
just let them air-dry right again that's
cuz I do not cage dry at all
I can't dry them by hand they go home
damp but I would tell the client why I
wouldn't just do it I'm gonna come back
now and check with my comb check my own
work make sure we're kind of good to go
that I've done a decent job on brushing
especially that neckline right in the
ears such a good dog isn't he you guys
for a puppy holy cow
where is she she rescued him so she
rescued him from a rescue group so a
poodle rescue grouped up in Frisco or
Plano I think Frisco maybe so can you
believe these dogs are out there for
rescue go rescue a dog fluffy tail all
right now I'm gonna brush it backwards a
little comb it backwards a little bit
I'll be coming back with my guard even
up some of the places that just didn't
catch because it was a little dirty of a
coat or just a fast roughen you know
just brush it off backwards clear it up
for yourself
I'm gonna leave the feet kind of teddy
bear around thick and not shaved so
every dog is different just spot in
there huh
don't be afraid no one's ever perfect
but double-check your own workout there
you guys and by the way after we get off
the canvas sometimes I mean I'm already
I'm soaked I'm tidying stuff up if I see
if you see something before you totally
let that dog go home if you see
something on the floor handing the dog
to the parent it's in the cage grab it
you know it isn't like I'm done touching
this dog after the video there's other
things happening okay tin tin leg with
your one guard we're gonna go down and
repeat I'm gonna have my little tiny
brush that does nothing for me except
remove a hair around I'm gonna have that
in my hand does this kind of help me
work quickly brushing that like brushing
it back so I can kind of grab some more
[Music]
real light on my weight on the pressure
so that I'm not creating like new lines
I'm just kind of tidying up with I've
already done
[Music]
if you can do a guard down here you can
come back with a two guard on the legs
and you won't have to do so much hand
scissoring it's much less work on your
wrist so I would prefer to do guard work
than scissor work because of just the
wear and tear on our wrists and a
fingers for that scissor work
[Music]
if you are grooming and your blade and
clippers or cookers on the hair you've
got these jagged edges coming out even
with the card you might have just it's
time to replace your blade dry so if
you're having a bunch of ripples in your
lines you're creating on the skin if you
don't know how to take off your blade
drive let me know and I will do it for
you on one of my Clippers just just give
me some heads up make a comment and that
way I can do a video for you
changing out that blade drive so simple
and you should do it yourself instead of
paying someone since and then you should
always have spare blade drives on hand
because you never know what it's going
to be like oh it's time to change the
blade drive look at those lines in the
coat okay not to have your hand in here
[Music]
I'm holding my cord so I can go faster
and swing my Clippers around a little
faster so whatever helps you kind of go
faster if you need to go faster right I
am crunch time because I got another
appointment after this at another
location so I am not trying to waste
time here at all then I worked on I
decline kind of new because I had worked
her in late last night or late yesterday
so I'm just pretty honest with people
you know I'm like hey I'm working you in
I don't like to work people in like this
but this is the only time I've gotten
the next two weeks so if you want it it
was eight eight o'clock its own
appointment this morning I don't like to
do whatever I told you guys out in like
a mobile groom and salon groom at the
same time so sometimes gonna bend over
backward a lot of times I do it's really
hard to say no I just like trying to
help others others they're just what
they need done you know I don't like to
wait forever you gotta plan ahead people
[Music]
hi baby Oh
[Music]

this lucky already you love me already -
eww
okay so they're not gonna release if I
leave the head damp like that they're
not gonna really see the fluffiness but
I hope it's okay we'll see what happens
you're almost done

so I'm not digging and this is a just a
shape or brush we'll come back this way
maybe
okay you want to see where I'm working

stand out for me
I'm gonna let them know they can head
this direction since I'm pressed for
time so real quick I'm gonna send a
message today I'm going to be done in

scissor his feet and my dog got Sanders
in the bathtub so I'm gonna just try to
work work with him real fast here you
try cone now I'm just shaping up
remember I was gonna do this like teddy
bear paws which means like a bear and
you know a real fluffy not not trimming
them all the way up to like the bone
which is what I do sometimes especially
if it looks like the in between the pads
earth and in between the digits are
actually matted you know all the time or
whatnot so I take them short but I just
hold what I call would be a teddy bear
silicon here
[Music]

roundness here

little bit more with the foot just the
fluff side of the blow-dryer but if I
can't look fine just gonna leave it as
is we'll see how much time I have left I
got actually do his clean his ears pull
his ear hair and thing easier so that's
more important right now get in here I
just try to pull exactly what's in the
ear not that stuff on the outside I know
he's moving around a bit I'm gonna get
some of this ear powder just to get help
me get a grip cuz it's just right here
it's not really digging it too far yet
he doesn't like it you don't like it

there yeah
okay I'm gonna go ahead and clean them
first and get that out of the way and
see what I'm working with here I know

skin here it's not like I'm digging down
the ear canal and you know it's just
