CAVOODLE

Rosie

Here is a very typical scenario, ‘Please keep my dog as long as possible, I know she has knots, but please don’t shave her!’ At times, we can perform miracles. Nicky takes us through correct blade choice in order to leave length in places that are not heavily matted. This head study is typical of a Cavoodle. 

 

Introduction

Nicky explains what to do when customers say “Please leave my dog long” - and they have heaps of matted areas sadly.

The Body - Part 1

Nicky explains where to start with this type of groom, and the best position to have the dog in. Blade choice can be tricky when you are a novice groomer - Nicky explains how to get the best out of our tools.

Clipping the throat can be dangerous, tilting and straightening the neck will avoid the blade from catching on loose skin.  

 
 

The Body - Part 2

Blades and the angles we hold them on can make a real difference to the end result. Nicky explains now how to use a shorter blade and blend the coat, making it appear longer.

The Feet

Even though Rosie has short feet, she still has knots in them. Nicky has a time saving trick to ensure all knots are removed.
