I tried posting this on a “mom’s board and it got removed because they said I was trying to promote my business. AND I got a warning that i will be removed if I do it again. So I’m going try it here and see how it goes 🤣.

I’m a Groomer. I have owned a facility in Pine Bush for 20 years. I have some wonderful girls that work for me and I have someone that is looking to switch from an online grooming course (don’t judge) to more of a hands-on approach. With that being said, I am volunteering my time to train them and give them all of my knowledge, but not at the expense of my clients that are very particular with how their dogs are groomed.

I am looking to train them in the evening, after work hours, for a extremely minimal fee ($25-$35 depending on the size of the dog/length of the coat so that we can at least just pay the bather for her time). It is OK if the dogs are matted, but not extremely matted (because then that is not fair to the groomers-in-training on top of extremely matted dogs also become a safety issue for the dog itself). Keep in mind, I am looking for dogs that need HAIRCUTS, not dogs for baths or baths and de-shedding. The girls already have been with me for years and know how to do that. I’m trying to step them up into the next role of grooming. I don’t know if anyone has a budget that they just really can’t afford the luxury of a full-service salon at this time or if anyone has elderly friends or family that have dogs that need grooming….we would be happy to take the opportunity to groom them at our reduced rate, as long as they understand that the girls that are training are learning. So please feel free to share this post!

I am not trying to promote my business on these “mom boards”. I am trying to TEACH the younger generation a trade, so that they can better their own education, while hopefully helping some families that may not be able to afford a full service grooming salon at this time. So it becomes a win-win for both.

Feel free to DM me and I would be more than happy to discuss further with you.

Thank you! 🐶

Thinking about buying a Doodle, Cockapoo or Poodle mix? Have you been told they "don't need grooming until 1yrs old" or "coat maintenance is easy"?
*PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING piece written by a groomer..in the pic that's known as a pelted coat /Pelting. A dog’s fur gets so matted & tangled it will come off in one piece. It's outs tension on the skin, can damage the skin causing horrible infections and sometimes renders the dog helpless,unable to move and it can then cause fatality
-------->

Poodle crosses (cockapoos, doodles, maltipoos etc.) are not "easy breeds" to maintain. The photo attached (shared from another groomer) shows how matting forms at the skin. By looking at this dog's top coat, you may not see the knots and you may not feel them as you would a knot on the ends of the fur but under that fluffy top layer this is going on. Once it starts its very difficult/ impossible to brush out... and even if you could it would be cruel to put the dog through it. Maintenance at home has to be more than a quick once over for these dogs if you want to keep them in that fluffy coat which was probably one of the reasons you chose a poodle cross in the first place. You really need to sit down with a brush and then a metal comb and make sure you can get it through the entire body at least 2 to 3 times a week.

I often feel like owners don't believe groomers when they say their dog has to be clipped very short. I always hear "I know he/she is matted, but leave as much as you can". You cannot clip through matting, you can only clip under it. As this photo shows, clipping under the matting means taking the coat back to the skin.
I promise you, your groomer really doesn't want to do this but they won't hurt your dog by putting it through dematting, they also don't want to hurt their reputation when the clients go around complaining about how the last groomer "scalped" their dog but there really is not any alternative. Instead of being angry with your groomer if they clip your dog very short please respect their commitment to do what is in your dog's best interest, accept responsibility for not having brushed your dog properly at home, and work with your groomer because, together, you can prevent this happening again. All groomers will be very happy to demonstrate a technique called line brushing which will help make your grooming at home more effective. Just ask! We all want owners to know how to do this

Poodle crosses are easily one of the highest maintenance dogs in reference to their coats. The combination of the soft coat they are mixing poodles with these days is a coat that is extremely prone to matting.

If you like a fluffy pup, you probably need to consider no more than 3-5 week intervals between grooming and set aside time for regular brushing AND combing at home.

Please know, if you bathe your poodle cross you really need to blow dry and brush out right after. Moisture, be it a bath, rain, swimming, snow etc are all going to make matting worse. If you know your dog is already matted-- bathing is only going to make it worse! Brush out before the bath.

Lastly "breeders" who say these dogs can't or shouldnt be clipped and not to give them a hair cut until they are one year old are misleading potential owners in order to sell$$$$ puppies and setting them up for a sad day when they finally take their pup to the groomer!!!

If this hasn't put you off buying one please schedule your puppy's first groom immediately after they've had their vaccinations and then be prepared to do the maintenance at home between regular professional grooms.
