Cooper - before during and after grooming

[Kaytlin and Cooper]

Cooper got brushed one day, bathed the next day, then groomed today. I did the groom myself (its the second time Ive tried it) and I used scissors for it all. I used the videos from Royal Diamond Labradoodles as a guide for a puppy cut. Her front legs look a bit choppy, and I dont like her ears so short, but overall im quite pleased. She is about 1 1/2 inches long on the body and 2 inches long on the legs. It took me about an hour

Cooper looks wonderful.  how did you do it so fast?

[Pam and Ginger Snap]

How did you get him to stay still?

[Pam & Trixie]

You did a great job.  Interesting to see how much lighter he is after a brush out.

(it looks like hes throwing up in the bucket ; o )

[Kaytlin and Cooper]

Yes, I did use my fingers as a guide. It took me about an hour, though I had already shaved the inside of her ears and trimmed between her paw pads.

Traci - Cooper doesnt mat much at all thankfully, I only brush her once a month

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

She looks great, good job!

[Lori, Rooney & Zuzu]

I am SUPER impressed and more than a little inspired. I am really starting to think I might like to try tackling grooming Rooney myself. Thank you for sharing the reference to the videos you used. I had not seen those before and they look quite helpful. Did you just use your fingers as a guide for length? I think the cut looks terrific!

[Traci -Bexter & Maggie]

I'm impressed you did this yourself!  She is really curly!  Does she matt alot?  Bexter is curly & he matts a ton right now, but I'm hoping it's his age & will get better!  How long did it take you to cut her?

Good job Kaytlin, Cooper looks fine.
