Grooming Ollie

Hello! It's been quite a while since I posted here...we got our Labradoodle, Ollie, nearly a year ago! Wow, time flies!

My husband decided rather than pay $60 to get Ollie groomed professionally every 3 months, he'd buy clippers and do it himself...Ollie looks soooo skinny and like a huge rat now!!! (I know it will grow back relatively quickly!)

He did the "shearing" last night (about 16 hours ago) and Ollie has constantly been shaking his head/ears ever since...any reason for this? Does it just feel different to him?

Thanks for any thoughts!

Coal was groomed yesterday and was shaking his head for hours after as well. I have no real explaination but I am glad to see that it isn't just Coal! It must feel very different to them.

Sorry, no help here...I have only clipped around eyes, mouths, and under tails!
Could be the different feel...especially since Coal did the same...could be that the got hair in his ears?
