I did Starla’s face and neck for the first time today. It’s a bit splotchy, and I accidentally went up a bit too much between her eyes, but surely as she gets bigger, we’ll both get better at it, right? Tomorrow: feet!

Good for you! Lovely clean face. Was it tricky around her lips? Did you follow a specific video or guide?

Looks good. You'll both get better with time. As long as you keep up with it, she'll get more and more cooperative and your skills will improve. The eyebrow are tricky for me too.

I feel like I’ve watched every poodle grooming video on YouTube over the past year or two. Lol! No she was just fine around her lips and the video stickied here was most helpful with that. I actually had more difficulty from her ears to her eye and then around her neck-which I think shows. It was hard to see what I was doing with that chest fluff in the way, and she was pretty squirrelly about me lifting up her ears and putting the clippers near them. So of course we’ll be practicing that more!

You did a fabulous job, looks nice and neat. You can really see her beautiful eyes.

How very kind! Thank you. 😊

You did a great job! She looks beautiful. I still get nervous grooming Miracle's face, so hers never looks anywhere near perfect.

That's pretty good, well done.

Good for you Starla! I have never gotten up the courage, nor do I have the tools, to do that! Bravo.

Very nice job. Your poodle looks beautiful.

Really nice and smooth. Qht a pretty face

 

[Starla]

Thanks for all the compliments! As usual, I was my own worst critic and only seeing the flaws, but y’all have really made me feel better.

Kontiki, I admit I got a bravmini to tackle the face and feet. I bought everything (I thought) before she came home to do the grooming myself but just couldn’t figure out how I was going to do her petite little face with those giant-seeming clippers!

Great job !
