Poor groomers..... (I seriously don't envy any of them)

Start your puppy off on Day 1 with a little brushing when they are tired (right before bed). Dim the lights and talk soft -- keep it short (only for a couple of minutes) and very SLOW (pup will just chew and want to play) but they will catch on quicker than you think if you repeat it EVERY night.

It takes patience ....

Before you know it, they'll expect that special time from you. Groomers will think your pup is a treat (as doodles are known to kiss the groomers to death

if you get them used to being touched and brushed while they're young).

You are in for a fur-ball TREAT !!!

Congratulations !!!!! Stick around, we have a lot of fun here (especially with the new babies).
