Cockapoo Grooming Teddy Bear Clip
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лют 2025
- Giving this cockapoo puppy a teddy bear type trim. Cute rounded face, clean cut but not too short shaggy body clip.
To groom I use a 3/4” length on the majority of his body, scissor the paws and head and face with rounded shears. A 30 to clean paw pads, a 7F for the sanitary trim, and a 5 for clipping high-tangle spots under front legs close to the body to reduce friction that cause matting.
I used blending shears and straight shears as well for his grooming. But you could definitely copy this cut using just a 3/4” clipper blade, the 10 that came with your clippers and a decent pair of curved shears for the face.
I don’t show it, but Jax the cockapoo was shampooed twice with Plum Silky by Nature’s Specialties and conditioned with the matching conditioner. He had his ears cleaned out using Zap by Kelco. I brushed his teeth with Tropiclean.
I will post links below to some of the stuff I either used or recommend. ☺️
I groomed for 10 years, and I loved to see the comment below "now I understand why grooming is so expensive" That was the most frustrating thing, customers had NO IDEA the amount of effort and patience that went into each dog. I was doing 6-7 dogs a day.
Groomers don’t make enough for the amount of labor they do. It may seem untrue to people, but it’s really hard work and hard on the body. My hands and arms are sore, wrists get tired-it’s exhausting and I only groom a couple dogs a week!!
Not only is it time intensive and muscle intensive and you stand all day, you’re hyper aware the whole time because you’re keeping someone else’s dog safe. So it is mentally exhausting too. And then the equipment is a fortune and needs to be constantly maintained, and you have to be steady and artistic as well!!
But I had no clue until I groomed a dog! The one good thing about me teaching owners at my home to groom is that they usually decide not to do it and then they’re really appreciative of their groomers! 😂
@@Edendog Absolutely! Everything you said was true. Doing great work, keep on keeping on!
That's why I always tip my groomer really well- better than for my own hair.
Now I understand why grooming is so expensive! Thank you so much for all of your videos. You offer a wealth of information for dog owners, and especially new pup owners.
That was exactly what I was thinking.
That’s a ont bit rude to groomers saying “now I get why it’s so expensive “ I bet u don’t know it can upset groomers but I’m honestly not tryin to be rude but please think before you say that kind of stuff
@@Libby-ss1de Interesting that you would see that comment as rude. Theris Nogods (comment below) actually understood my intention, which was to say after watching that video I now understand why I pay close to $100 for a groom for my 15 lb dog. I didn't really understand until I watched the video. Not rude.
I just watch your video for the umpteenth time and decided to groom my Billy. This was the best grooming job I've done. Thank you for all the steps. I've purchased the correct clippers and all the blades. I had all the sheers so I was ready. He looks beautiful. Thank you for all your help.
What blade are you using for the pet
I love the scruffy look
You are so sweet and caring and doggie knows this. What a good doggie.
What an absolutely beautiful dog and you’ve made it even more beautiful. Thank you for this video
I like the way you did it! This is the best grooming of a cockapoo, or, in our case, a cavapoo!!!
Loved the way you spoke to and reassured that little honey ... kind gentle and caring .... want you in Tasmania!!!!!!!
I like it exactly how you did jax hair he looks gorgeous 😍
The puppy is adorable 😍
Just discovered your videos and so far, they are the most informative I’ve seen. This is the exact cut I’ve always gotten on my dogs. I typically like a little more taking off around the eyes and above the nose (snout?). He is a beautiful dog.
Great job..you are a very kind, loving dog person…
Honestly someone else said this of all the videos I see of how to groom your Cockapoo this has to be the the most understanding. I’m a new Cockapoo owner and trying to learn myself. I always had Poms and I thought they were high maintenance but I believe now Cockapoo’s are. It seems they need to be groomed more often that’s just my opinion. But thank you! Now let’s see how I do😂 it can always grow back right.
I have had poms too and cockapoos are ABSOLUTELY more work to groom! But you’ll get the hang of it! ❤️
It’s so obvious how much you love these pups. Not at all the norm on the videos I’ve watched, unfortunately. You’d think that after 25 years of cutting human hair, I wouldn’t need any homework study for cutting our new Cavapoo puppy’s hair, but this video was really helpful. The tools of our trades are very so similar but the techniques are not. For example, I never shear cut hair that I’m not holding between my index and middle finger. Freehand shear work takes a lot of talent and confidence - especially with a squirmy little dog. I guess I gotta get some curved shears too. Well done!
I bet you could pull the hair taught between your fingers and may even get a better cut if you do that, I feel like it might be harder with a squirmy dog and that might be the reason we take a much less exact approach!
I am curious, as we will use that technique when we scissor a drop coat all over the body, it’s very similar to giving a layered haircut.
But still different!! I’m still trying to learn to cut my kids’ hair at home and lemme tell you, haha, I do not have the talent you guys have!!
I bet you’ll pick up on this so quick. It’s a lot like sculpture. It can be so relaxing and artistic!
Start by getting the puppy fed and exercised and in a good mood and that goes a long way for table training. The biggest help is working with a compliant pupper. Expect the first several table training sessions to be short. End on a good note and don’t worry if you only got 10% of the job done! You’ll get there! By a couple mos of training your pup will be a sleepy, sweet and relaxed little client for you ❤️
Thanks for putting that out. I’m bringing mine home a week from today from the breeder. Thanks for that
Nice video, very helpful. I'm grooming my cockapoo for the first time ever due to the UK lockdown, Wish us luck! :-D
Loved this video! Jax is so beautiful. I can appreciate the work my groomers did with my cockapoo Chester. My hubby and I would either have him cut like a poodle or a cocker spaniel because he looked adorable either way. Seeing the work done here I wouldn't even elect to trying it myself, lol. I didn't realize the paw area was so sensitive, as that was the only time Jax whimpered a bit. The groomer earns her money.
Great video! I would LOVE to see one of the scissoring of the body, I really prefer the shaggy look. But this dog is cute no matter what
Wow! I totally appreciate my groomer now, that is hard work, no way I could get my cockapoo to look that good
I would love to see more scissoring work over the entire body, I'm a particular fan of the shaggy look. Your videos and blog work are fantastically clear and easy to understand and I love your manner in dealing with all your dogs.
I love him just like you trim him sorta fluffy. Very cute
I have 2 Cockapoos age 16 and 14 and have spent many hundreds of hours grooming them myself through the years. It has been a job that I wouldn't wish on anyone. I love them, but I will never have another dog who has to have their hair cut every 8 weeks. I'm getting old now and can barely stand to do it anymore, (it's backbreaking and they don't cooperate) Having a dog that needs to be groomed like this costs many thousands of dollars more through their lifetimes if you don't groom them yourself. Just something to think about if you have kids that will need to attend college someday, or if you need to be saving for retirement.
Very impressed. I was a hair dresser for 40 years but I don’t think I could attempt this. My puppy is a nightmare to even brush ! I have been unable to take Teddy to be groomed during the covid 19 crisis and had hoped to tackle this at home. I really don’t think it will be possible

Fabulous cut and so gentle with the dog. My 20 week cockerpoo just had a groom and was returned to me like a poodle. really short and I was so upset. cried all afternoon. I expected her to look like this teddy bear look but she's sheared right down. I comb her every day so she was not matted. Your poo boy looks fabulous.
Diana Methven ur dog is part poodle what did u expect
Beautiful job! I love the way you cut around his face! I have a standard poodle - just learning how to groom him. I use clippers and scissors. I appreciate that you kept the face cute, just shorter.
Thank you for specific tools used and great tutorial 👍
Would really love to see the drying process. It's so relaxing to watxh and hear. Thanks!!
Always prefer a shorter cut, like this one in the video myself and Teddy face is just sooo cute. Good tutorial.
Poor dog 🙁, everything being too long 😡
Am trying this in lockdown... but seriously how well behaved is this dog! Can't see my cockapoo behaving like this.
Beautiful and just adorable look...loved your grooming ..so gentle.
Love this. You are so patient & give great detail when needed. I kind of like the shaggy look, but it doesn't last long, so short with Teddy Bear face for our Bud. Watching because of the Stay Home Stay Safe edict because of COVID 19, hoping we can groom our cockadoodle at home. You make it look easy, but I know it's not.
My doodle is the same color witthe same adorable brown eyes .I love my Rose! You do a fabulous job!
You’ve got the patience of an angel
Thank you!
This was sooooo much better than watching Dede Croy!!!! OMG u are awesome, I luv how u handle ur doggy!
This is an old comment, but I'm looking at these videos now because all of the groomers near me are closed, and i'm getting desperate for my poor lil toy poodle. Thinking of doing it myself.... I just watched the Dede Croy poodle video, and holy crap , you're right. I actually hope every one of her clients sees how she treats their pets so roughly so they never go back. This clip is so much better! And not to mention this groomer actually gave the pup a cute cut instead of just buzzing them brutally.
Dede is actually hated within the grooming community. She treats animals absolutely terribly, has no regard for their coat types and will do anything for money.
I would like to see you do a shaggy cut. This is real a good tutorial. Thank you!
Coming soon!
I have a cockapoo, this will be my first attempt at really grooming him, I love the combo look, clean short body, medium fro, long tail, and medium fluff on paws. His ears need to be round, my favorite feature on him are his eyes. I can't wait to get my grooming kit so I can see his precious face.
It's there a video for longer look? I'd just like to learn for when it's colder he's still groomed but not a short summer cut. We're in Florida so we beach a lot. (That may be why I prefer a shorter look on him)
One can feel that you love pets and I believe they know it too.
Absolutely gorgeous! ❤❤❤
I love the way you groomed Jax! And I'm so glad I found your channel; you're so much more patient and kind to the dogs than the other groomer that I used to watch. Love the way Jax was trying to stay awake while you worked on him!! He really trusts you.
I like the one length all over look. It's clean, easy to maintain, and the dog doesn't have to stand on a table for over an hour while we sculp ad nauseam with scissors. So I would buzz with comb attachment.
That’s a brilliant job ! we are getting a Cockapoo In a couple of weeks and the shorter cut that you did looks great. I think it preserves the classic Cockapoo look. We will be asking our groomer to do it like this. Thanks for posting this video 😀 🇬🇧
Hi, how much did you pay to buy ginger cavapoo puppy? In pounds? Wich website do you recommend ? After i buy it what papers i need ,insurance ,etc? I want to make all calculation prices etc; my kids love it very much this dog also the dog from the movie" waffle dogy"
Also i need to check if is ok for alergy, my husband have it but he says not so much from dogs only cats , ty in advance !!!
You are amazing!!
I just got my first puppy (poodle) after 5 years and I am so worried about who am I gonna trust to groom my baby... I’m willing to learn everything just so I’m sure she’s safe. Wish you could take care of her!
Great job! Xo
This is an amazing tutorial. Thank you!
Lovely cut and very gentle and friendly to this cute well behaved doggy. Please wear a light mask to prevent hair particles into your airways. Subscribed!
I love the color of this cockapoo! Looks like a teddy bear
He's a really good boy.
Thank you for this! I want to one day try grooming my cavapoo but she’s only 3 months so still getting used to everything. She just got a puppy trim and looks so cute with her blow out. I want another cavapoo already so I really want to learn how to do this!
You can do it!
I highly recommend starting the grooming, daily brushing, clipping nails as soon as possible and often so they get used to it.
Grooming is harder when you have a really young puppy like my 8 month cockapoo she never stays still so it takes both of us to groom her,one to hold her and the other to groom,we use scissors on her face and she lets us but as soon as the clippers come out shes off on one and fidgets bigtime....ears next,i fancy doing the teddy cut she looks so cute....😊❤😊❤
I totally love the shaggy shears groomed look, sooo cute on Cockapoos. But the clippers shorter cut is definitely better for summer months. 👍🏼
I totally agree! They're soooo cute all shaggy. But it is also nice not to always have the water everywhere when they take a drink during the summer and cram their whole face in the bowl and then put their faces all over you and you get covered in water and slobber :-)
The puppy is literally so cute 😭😭😭
I like the look you gave him. .when I got my first dog, I found him at the SPCA in San Francisco and he turned out to be the best dog. He let me shear him like a sheep and when he got tired, I did the sides and flipped him over and did the other. He was the best...he was a Tibetan Terrier.
He is adorable ❤
This was a very good video! Much respect to you for doing the grooming part yourself! You did a great job by the way and also on the video as well. Stay blessed always!
Hi! I have a cockapoo and her name is ivy, she just turned 10 and this helped so much! Tysm for the help:)
Shaggy. Absolutely! So Jax resembles a cuddly teddy bear 🧸. But Jax is still adorable.
This video was extremely helpful! Thank you. Wish me and Charley, Walter and Norman the best. Now, who should go first?
It helps when the dog is well behaved. I don’t think my cavoodle would stay that still! Great video though! I learned a lot
Awww! That’s lovely, he was so good & you were very caring with him 👍👍
I'm learning to groom my three little ones - small terrier mix and two shi tzus. The shi tzus hate having their faces done and fight me all the time. Its quite a challenge! Slowly making an investment in clippers and shears. Wish my little ones were as cooperatie as Jax!
Wonderful video, I was fascinated from start to finish. Thank you xx
I love this cut! So pretty and functional! Can you recommend brands of grooming tools?
Flicka Mom sorry for taking so long to reply!! I really like the basic Andis clipper with the cord. They’re light enough that they don’t make you exhausted and they have enough power to get the job done fast.
I never use ceramic blades. Stick with stainless steel. Ceramic just won’t cut. You’ll be there forever pulling on the fur instead of cutting.
If you have the money to splurge, Buttercut Blades by Geib are the absolute best. Get them in a 3F and you can do the whole body in that cut and hand scissor the face and legs and you’re done with a lovely clip.
Nice scissors are also a plus. Cheap scissors really just cost you more money in the long run. Any cheap blade from Amazon would be about the same as any other. Curved and straight shears are the most useful as a new groomer. Blenders and chunkers are great when you’re ready to spend a bit more time, your dog is trained to stay still and not make you nuts, and you’re up to refining your art.
I wouldn’t bother with cheap chunkers or blenders. Stick with Geib or kenchii and you won’t be sorry. Skip anything “Chris christenson” just paying for a designer label and the products aren’t as good as the price pretends they are 😉
how is that puppy so calm, our puppy doesnt stay this calm even during its regular brushing
I know my boy likes when I talk super slow, and use his beloved 'pet' nicknames and lots of treats and 'good boyS' lol. That's the only way I can keep him sorta calm. He'll be 3yo on 4-1.
So amazing! You make it look so easy... I groom my cockapoo at home, and I can never achieve that fluffy teddy bear look. He doesn't mind though, as long as he gets a treat after ;-)
Nice cut. I use the blades where possible as my scissor skills aren't great on the legs. I think the blades give a beautiful even finish. I normally use comb attachment s for the head. Saves loads of time and again you get a nice even cut with very little scissoring to do. No 10 blade always for armpits for safety
What a transformation, well done 👍
what an beautiful dog also you are amazing n so thorough.i love these dogs,been thinking about getting one for 2 years now.aww he's so cute.😊ps.even tho you cute lots off, you have still managed to make him look like a a fluffy teddy bear.
Great cut! I feel like this scissor work will last 6 weeks. So I prefer this type.
She is a really good lovely person 🙂
I love the cute 🥰 it’s so hard to get one like that 😊
looks great!
If only I could snap my fingers and have my dog brushed out and dried after a bath!!
Please share how you brush and dry after a bath!!
I have 6 month old Cavapoo, I really love the long wavy look. I would like to see a video showing a cute look, but keeping the long waves.
Lori craig That is a great video idea. You don’t see many videos showing that look. But it’s such a cute look. I personally love that shaggy look!
That would be great! I've got a 10 month old apricot cockapoo with the most beautiful shaggy, long hair. I'm going to have a go at his first trim today but want to keep his hair shaggy as it matches his dopey personality. Wish me luck!
@Lori, can you please sharing links to where to purchase a goldendoodle?
I like the clipper look!
I enjoyed everything while watching your video. From your adorable cartoon voice, right down to reading all the comments. I alway appreciate those of you who volunteer your extremely valuable time making a video in an effort to educate us. Thank you :3. I’ve only discovered your video today and notice you focus only on puppies, do you have any tips for grooming the aging dog? We’ve three little ones that are now 11-12 years old, (dad and son being special needs) and despite being professionally groomed their entire lives, in the same shop and with the same groomer, they are now starting to become more anxiety ridden on grooming day, and as their momma, it’s tearing me up. I do own grooming equipment and we are tossing around doing them at home ourselves, but I’ve had 17 major back surgeries for scoliosis making everything physical, more of a challenge, as I myself age, along with the babies......so any tips that pop to mind would be helpful and very appreciated, as we ponder our choices. God bless you, your gifts and talents, and that sweet face with the beautiful smile!
Thank you for your lovely comment. I completely understand how you feel about your older babies. They start to have a difficult time standing for that long and in general become more sensitive to pulling and tugging or handling.
Unfortunately, time is the groomer’s enemy, and that is what your babies require.
If you happen to be extraordinarily wealthy, then you can split the groom up into a couple of days and pay to ensure the groomer goes along incredibly gently and only has your babies standing for as long as they can offer.
But if, like most of us, you can’t do that, then a good solution is to do what you can at home, and ask your groomer to do what they can in one shorter session.
If you tell your groomer what you’re experiencing and that you’re concerned your older dogs are beginning to suffer you might be surprised that she (or he) is surprised. Dogs tend to be brave little soldiers and your groomer may not have noticed and is likely expert and helping elderly dogs cope with a groom.
I have a bad back myself, and grooming when you have a sore back can be an extreme challenge. Some tasks are athletic not matter what fancy equipment you get. Like shampooing. That is one you want to leave to the groomer (or your partner, if he’s up to the task). It’s too hard on the back.
Sitting upright or minding your posture while clipping or scissoring on an elevated surface is not so bad. But you would absolutely have to invest in a table with a hydraulic lift. If you can’t adjust the height of the table easily, you’ll be crying with pain and stiffness. Trust me!!
You can always split up the job with the groomer. Bath and blow out at the salon and then the next day, after your guys have a rest, they can have as much of a haircut at home as they can tolerate.
Ask your groomer for tips, as well. Guaranteed she has all kinds of amazing ideas and just hasn’t noticed your babies in distress. It’s likely very subtle and not much different than normal dog gentle complaining. Shifting feet, attempts to sit, pawing and licking. I bet it’s so early in this for them she hasn’t realized. And I bet she would be thankful to hear about it so she can ensure they’re comfortable. She may have special tables, tools and protocols for her elderly gentledoggies.
Let me know how you decide to go! I will be so curious to hear back!
Awww 🥰 looks just like my peanut butter except for he has a short tail I pay for him to go to the groomers but he never looks this nice wish you were here in Colorado
Hi, thank you loved your flim. I couldn't see the size of the blade you used for all over, could you tell again.
Thanks
I used a 3/4” FC blade all over, that is the 13 mm blade.
I would so definetly let her groom my dog she is soooo sweet with him. That is the way i am with my dogs, i talk to them and kisss them too. She calms the dog and make him feel safe.
What clippers brand do you use? I have an Andis that I'm borrowing from my son. It has 6 combs #1- 1/8"- 3mm; #2- 1/4"- 6mm; #3 @3/8"-10mm; #41/2"- 13mm; #5- 16mm; #6-3/4" -19mm. I'm anxious but nervous to start. Our dog is a cockapoo she is rather old at15yrs. Should she be dry before the cut? Loved your video we watched it several times. Geri G.
Thanks so much for your really instructive videos!! I've really enjoyed learning from you and you have such a great approach with the dogs!! WOuld it be possible for you to tell me which clippers you use, the brand and model? Thanks so much and love your style
Just beautiful!
Getting a pup in a week. I hope he’s as cool as this lovely dog. My boys don’t sit as still as him at the barbers!!!!!
For my girls i use a 7# on the body a blue comb attachment on the legs. Peach on the head and beard then scissor everything.
But for most of my cockapoos clients its usualy either a peach or blue all over as its easier for them to maintain. But still looks cute.
But good job and a very good pup.
kendal25188
Sry, but what is a beach or blue?
@@knuddelkatze452 sorry just relized it is a spelling mistake. Its ment to be peach or blue again
It’s perfect, not long not short👍
What a great video!! You did an amazing job! What are the brand of clippers you are using? I have a Cockapoo and a Goldendoodle and would love to groom them myself. Thank You!!
Hello! Great job! I was wondering what shears you use and guards?
This is awesome!
That's amazing I want mine to look like that, instead mine was dog was cut tight, can't wait for it to grow, do you live in Devon because I would bring mine to you
Wow that trimmer works awesome what kind is it? I need a good one
Very nice, can you please tell me what clippers you use..which brand
Hi great video ,do you have a 10 blade on with a comb?can I ask what clippers your using 🇬🇧
What clippers are you using on jax, I would like to purchase for my cockapoo
Can you please voice clearly the number of the blade your using at each stage as it's not clearly visible when you just show the blade itself. Love Mr Jacks he's a lot like my cavapoo. xx
Can you please recommend a not so expensive clipper for my medium size 40lbs cockapoo. Thank you.
I have two pure bred Miniature Poodles and it is very expensive to have them groomed as often as they should be. So because of the self isolation edict I went and bought a set of clipper and blades = a pair of scissors.. I've watched a few videos. Do you have to wash & dry the dog before commencing the clipping? Also on another video, the groomer shaved the legs upwards and I notice you go down. Does it matter?
So I have a Cavapoo and would like to know about making the cut on the head the same as the cut on the body. Would you recommend using the trimmers or to still use the scissors? I have no idea the hair on her is not as curly, more of the King Charles Spaniel, not the Poodle. So it is better off cut short, just not shaved. Hair on the tail long and straight..
I prefer the bit longer so the hair is more scruffy like a teddy bear without being too long. I have a 5mth Cavoodle and I’m grooming her longer as she looks adorable. With the short cut they are too much like a poodle cut and beats the purpose of having a Cavoodle I personally think.
Great norks 👌🏻😍👌🏻
You are so good with the dog. Wish you where my dog's groomer.
Giving this a go in lock down. Only have the shears and scissors. Lets see how it goes
Nick Hutchinson SAME
Same... let’s see how it goes
Yes, I am going to have to try. My dogs won’t behave anywhere near as well as Jax did.
Nick Hutchinson hahaha my cockapoo now has a quiff like elvis x
Love the way you have clipped Jax. I am learning to groom my Lhasapoo and am particularly struggling with how to trim his face. That was helpful but if you have any tips for a Lhasapoo face that would be great. He often gets mistaken for a Tibetan Terrier so that might provide a clue to his mix
