Training & Grooming Tips

Doodles require maintenance when it comes to their coat. We recommend bathing your puppy/dog once a month or once every 2 weeks if needed. You don’t want to bath him/her any more often than that because too frequently can cause dry, irritated skin.

We always recommend finding a good professional groomer for your doodle, too! Start this early (@16 weeks) to make grooming a comfortable experience for your puppy that will continue into adulthood. We recommend grooming your puppy/dog every 8-12 weeks depending on the length and “doodle look” you wish to maintain.

Brushing

Brush your puppy/dog once or twice a week depending on coat type. The curlier coats need to be brushed more often, especially after getting wet to prevent matting. Brushing helps stimulate natural coal oils, prevents tangles, and is a great way to check for external parasites such as fleas and ticks. We recommend trimming their nails every 4-8 weeks.

Brushing Teeth

Teeth Brushing is also important. We recommend making this a routine when brushing your puppy. Again, the earlier you start this routine the easier it will be.
