Above Photo: SCSPoodle Home Grooming Class – What fun!
Grooming your Standard Poodle can be very challenging when you first start out. You must accept that your dog will not look perfect at all times, and you will tragically butcher your dog at least once. Its OK you just start over next time! Move on. Grooming will strengthen the bond you have with your dog, and also teach them that when you want them to stand still for a few hours …. you expect just that! You will also bond with your dog because it requires trust and respect for your dog to cooperate and let you put them in …. well…. challenging positions while you clip them. You are also able to spot health issues that may come up and be hidden under a thick coat…lumps and bumps are noticed and you are able to manage them quickly.
Above all else…. enjoy and don’t take yourself too seriously. Have fun, look up new cuts and experiment.
