⚠️ Sorry if the finger wag offends!!! ⚠️ Who knew: A) there’s a best way to comb!!! B) some find the finger wag offensive/bossy!?? 🤷♀️😂😜🐶This is a simple one… but make the most of your combing time - rather than holding it upright, have the comb flat when you use it. It will be more effective at checking the full length of the hair! Hope it helps!!! #prodoggroomer #ukdoggroomer #doggroomeruk #petgroomingtips #doggroomers #ukdoggroomers #doggroominglife #doggroominguk #petservices #doggroomer #petgroomingschool #dogstyler #dogstyling #petgroomer #doggrooming #cockapoo #cavapoo #cavachon #poodle #poodlegrooming #poodlegroomers
‼️‼️😱😱PSA!!!😱😱‼️‼️Save this one now!!! Ok ok, so it may be a bit much… but this needs to be talked about!!! There are 2 main handling methods/positions I use to trim the boy bits on a male dog… Either way, safety is paramount!!! Be super careful, don’t do this if not trained, use a #10 blade and SKIM with the clippers/trimmers, don’t touch the skin!!! SHARE THIS ONE TO EDUCATE AND ENTERTAIN… that’s what the page is here for 😍#dogcare #safelytrimmingdogs #petgrooming #pawlice #dogwilly #supportyourpet #gentlehandling #skimnotouch #understandingyourpet #apologizepup #doggroomers #doggroominguk #doggroomer #petgroomer #doggrooming #lovemud #puppy #puppylove #puppylife #puppygram #puppyoftheday #funny #dog #funnydog #funnydogs #funnydogvideos
✂️🐶HONEY IS NOW OVER THE RAINBOW BRIDGE🐶✂️ This is without question the toughest part of being a dog groomer… I met Honey when she was a tiny puppy, 12 years ago, and I’ve been her groomer ever since. She was always an absolute delight! Actually the groom notes from her first visit states “MUZZLE FOR NAILS!!!”… which now makes me smile as she was fine with me by her second visit! We built up trust super quickly. We once tried to “grow out” her Cavachon coat to see if it dropped beautifully to the sides… nope! She just looked like a large cloud!!! She’s also the only dog who wee’d pretty much every time she saw me… not just when she was a puppy lol!!! I’ll take that as a compliment ❤️Onto the styling… Floofy tails can be complicated!!! I use this method on the poodle/bichon mixes as well as many other breeds… Here are my steps… 1️⃣ Fully brushing and combing the whole tail through 2️⃣ Twist down the coat, hold the end of the tail to avoid injury, and take off some of the length 3️⃣ Hold the tip of the tail, shake the coat down and thoroughly comb through 4️⃣ Create a curved shape, from tip down to poop shoot with your curves 5️⃣ Then soften the look with thinnersAs always, this is just how I do it 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️I hope it helps!!!

OH MY PUPPY OVARIES!!! Eye floof grows quicker than you imagine lol! Lenny’s fab breeder trimmed this before he came home with me. But like a week later another trim was needed! Being just 8-9 weeks old, Lenny hadn’t quite mastered the art of staying still while awake, so I had to get creative! 😴 Imagine his surprise when he woke up to clearer vision! 🤩 I transformed tiny lord Lenny into a vision of puppy perfection while he slept, earning me the affectionate nickname, “the midnight barber”, the first time I shared it!✂️ While Lenny peacefully slumbered, I delicately trimmed his eyes with small straights, ensuring his safety and comfort. 🐾 Follow me now for more grooming tips and doggy back chat!!! #PuppyGrooming #DogGroomingTips #LennyThePup #CockapooCutie #AdorableSurprises #PuppyAdventures #doggrooming #doggroomer #doggroomersofinstagram #cockapoo #cockapoopuppy #cockapoolife #prodoggroomer #ukdoggroomer #doggroomeruk #petgroomingtips #doggroominguk #petservices #doggroomer #dogstyling #petgroomer #doggrooming
🪢 HOW CAN YOU “KNOT” SAVE THIS ONE!? 🪢⚠️ WARNING: This applies to small knots on a cooperative and comfortable dog. Any bigger and if the dog isn’t happy - please clip off under the knot. ⚠️ As always - don’t take scissors to a dog without adequate training!!! #notrainingnotrimming Small thinners are perfect for this! Usually by just cutting through the knot in 3 different places, it allows the rest to seperate and be easily brushed out!!! Never pull the knot out and scissor near the root!!!!!!!!!Lelo has been with me since puppy and is very used to, and comfortable with, the grooming process. #doggroomers #doggroomer #dogstyling #doggrooming #lovemud #petgroomingschool #mixedbreed #mixedbreedsofinstagram

😍😍FORCE FREE CHIN REST!😍😍 Force free, consent based, cooperative grooming… All terms for a way of grooming which prioritises the health and well being of the dog, from a physical but also a mental perspective. I try to work in a consent based way when I can, and I love to teach the dogs in my care to relax and be ok with grooming. I make it as positive as possible. This is easiest to achieve when positive reinforcement techniques are used from puppy age and up. Let’s not delude ourselves… may dogs would much rather be chasing squirrels in the woods for 2 hours, rather than having a bath, nail clip & their bum hole trimmed!!! But as groomers we can do our best to minimise their stress levels, work at their pace, and make grooming ad tolerable as possible. Saying this, I do truly believe some of my floofy clients do love their pamper time!!! This is just my approach. But I love love love seeing a dog in a relaxed chin rest!!! But I’m always being safety aware, and gently using that thumb to steady the dog and keep them more still, as and when needed.This method takes time to teach, but I feel is much better for both the dog and the groomer longer term! x#prodoggroomer #petgroomingtips #doggroomers #petservices #doggroomer #dogstyler #dogstyler #dogstyling #petgroomer #doggrooming #lovemud #forcefreetraining #force #free #forcefreetraining #force #freeze #forcefreegrooming #fearfreegrooming #fearfreedogtraining #puppy #puppygram #puppylife #puppylove #cockapoo #cockapoos

“OH MY PUPPY OVARIES!!!” I’ve spent years specialising in the introduction of puppies to the grooming process, and it’s sooooo rewarding!!!! It can be time consuming at first, but worth it down the line when you have happy, compliant and even chilled dogs!!! But think beyond the positive reinforcement puppy training, and get the basics right… ensure the salon is calm, quiet and warm!!! Small elements such as a cold grooming experience, cold water or cold tools, can be negative, and can impact the dogs view of grooming for life! This time of year can be pretty ❄️❄️❄️, but I had heating added to my fancy pants grooming pod to ensure the floofs (and myself) would be comfortable! And I’m pleased to say it was worth every penny! The salon heats up so quickly! 5-10 min preheat and I’m ready to go!
