This lady is amazing! Her way of grooming is a master piece:)
This is probably the most helpful video on trimming the head for me. It all makes perfect sense. Now to get my 6 month old boys to stand still for me!!
Good luck!!! :)
This is a great video. I used to trim my airedales and now I am challenged with a 16 week old australian labradoodle puppy. Slowly introducing her to tools, etc. This video will be my "go to" resource. Thank YOU!
And yes, an ear plucking video would be very helpful.
Great! Good Luck!
Thank you! This is the best video on grooming an Australian Labradoodle .
I'm glad you found it helpful!
Wow...just wow!! Your tutorial is fantastic!! I have been researching so many other videos for assistance with trimming our Australian Mountain Doodle. Thank you!!!
Thank you. Best explanation I have seen yet.
Thank you SO much for this thorough video! I learned a great deal and will follow your suggestions with our two ALDs. ❤️🐶❤️🐶 Fabulous!
What a great tutorial , I used it for grooming my Australian bernedoodle and it was very helpful, thanks a lot!!
This is great. Really great detail. I appreciate you posting this.
You're welcome! Glad to help!
This is by far the BEST video I've watched about clipping/grooming a doodle's face/head. EARS - YES. Please let me know where to find a tutorial on plucking the ear hair. My dogs love to swim and it's imperative that their ears are clean from extra hair so they dry out. I also love how you've clipped the dogs legs/feet! Very few grooms get that right. : )
Wow, thank you! There is a video on my page about ear plucking..you'll find it under tutorials! Cheers :)
Thanks Alana! This is so great!
Glad you like it!
I’d love you to be here in the north of Scotland, you make it look easy , top class grooming x
Thanks so much for video, best I've seen!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks ! Love that cut .
Thank you, following your videos! I have an 8 mo old female.. I really appreciate your instruction 🎉
You are so good. Thanks for this video. Thanks
Thanks so much. This video what I want to see. Great job!
Thank you
This is one of the best videos I have seen for trimming the face! And gives the look I have been trying to achieve. Thank you!!
You are so welcome!
You are the only professional groomer that knows about Style and grooming
Wish you were in Miami, Fl
I have not been able to find someone like you ... groomers don’t know . Anyway well done!! Thanks for sharing your expertise
Glad to help. Good luck in your search!
The only?? Groomer?? The only one....? The one single groomer that knows how to groom? Did I go through 9 months of training and two years of experience just to see this comment?
Thank you so much for that, yes please to ear plucking and also for paws
I need to remember to do these!
This is very helpful!
I'm so glad!
Thank you for this video! I appreciate the way you've explained everything.
You are so welcome!
Do you have video on the rest of the Australian Labradoodles body, legs, feet...I guess I can say the complete package.
By far this video explains how to trim the head, better than any other I have seen.
THANK YOU..
It's being published right now!
You make it look easy.
It is! You can do it!
Great video! Wish I watched this years ago 😂
This helped me a lot, I’m trying to learn how to trim my dog’s face
Good Luck!

Love it❤
Thank yo!wish you could demo again with a light colored ALD like the one you groomed the body.
I will try! I'm currently growing out our golden girl...soon!
Thank you for all of your fabulous videos ! My Labradoodle has super curly hair and an afro, doesn't matter how long I leave it, there's no natural part. Pleeeeeaaaase do you have any suggestions on how to shape her head ? 🐶💛🙏
I really appreciate your video! Just a little hard to see the right side as his fur is a rich dark brown. Maybe some kind of a light would make it brighter. Thank you. Such a beautiful doggie!
Thanks for the tip! I'll be doing my golden girl soon!
Thank you! Do you have a video on how to keep your dog still. I’ve heard you mention get them off the ground but wondered about a makeshift harness to keep them still :)
Great question…I would like to know also.
You can get big rubber suction cup hooks for your wall, then attach grooming leads
Can you share the link to these shears? I’ve gone through two sets and I can tell yours are much smoother! I looked on your storefront on Amazon but couldn’t find them. Thank you!!!!
Love it! What with the ALD who's head fleece is curlier??
Treat exactly the same wat! :)
Gosh I’m feeling so overwhelmed
This was super helpful, i'm curious though, how did you avoid cutting whiskers? Or is that unavoidable?
Awesome, is there a brand of clippers you would recommend? And yes to the ear plucking vides please
Check out my website (www.bigrocklabradoodles.com), EXTRAS- recommended products...the scissor set is there :)
I'm curious how her ears were trimmed prior to your face/head trim. My doodle has very long hair on his ears and I would like to clip it shorter. Can I just use the clippers to shorten it with a 1inch comb attachment?
Yess please do one on plucking ears. Zacharias James says thank you.
Hi Ann. There is a video on my page about ear plucking..you'll find it under tutorials! Cheers :)
Do you have an ear plucking powder brand that you would recommend?
Thank you! Do you plan to do videos on grooming the rest of the body?
It's being published right now!
How do you trim the beard to a point in a dog who has a long beard?
Just bought electric trimmer, am going to give my doodle a hair cut, all by myself! Ambitious!
Go for it!
Ear plucking video would be greatly appreciated!
You got it! It's being published today!
On the back of the neck, where do you stop with the clippers? At the collar line? Thanks in advance!
I start the clippers at the base of the occipital bone.
Do you have a video of plucking the hair out of the lower inner ear
This video shows the full ear plucking.
Can I do this on a Golden Doodle? It's the look that i'm trying to get
Sure!
Can you please show us the full ear plucking? My dog doesn't even like the clippers around his ear so it makes me think that area is too sensitive.
There is a video on my page about ear plucking..you'll find it under tutorials! Cheers :)
This is so great but I was distracted the entire time by the camera operator's breathing! hahaha
oh boy!
@@BigRockLabradoodles Funny! I didn't even notice.
Brittany ❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕🇱🇷
Hi from Cape Town, South Africa! I can't find someone close to me that can do this cut so I want to do it myself. Can you maybe tell me what type of blades and length I need for the body please?
Hi there. I do the body at 3/4 of an inch and the legs at 1 inch. Use a 30 blade with blade guard attachments. Good Luck!
Hi, how many pounds is this labradoodle?
Do you know of any good Australian Labradoodle groomers in Ct? I have been to several and still not happy with face cut.
Im so sorry, I dont!
Hi, thank you,can you share links to the combs you used?
Comb is from Rens Pet Depot and brush is the Chris Christianson Big K slicker
Comb is from Rens Pet Depot. Brush is the Chris Christianson Big K slicker, which you can get by going to our website, under the Extras tab, then recommended products. www.bigrocklabradoodles.com
Is this a medium sized doodle? Or is she a standard size but not finished growing?
She is a small standard
Would you provide a link for the thinning shears please?
They are from Sally Beauty. The ones they have with the most teeth
There is a link on my website, under the extras tab, then recommended products! :) www.bigrocklabradoodles.com
I have an AussieDoodle. I'm assuming I would groom him in the same way?
I loved this video. I've been doing it all wrong, lol
Good Luck!
Also be sure that you have brushed the hair completely, down to the skin, look up tutorials on line brushing, line brushing is the technique thay ensures thay you brush correctly on curly "non shedding" dogs
Do you breed an Australian Shepard with a labradoodle?
No. Australian Labradoodles are Labrador Retrievers, Poodles and Cocker Spaniels, although I do not use Cocker Spaniels, as I breed the Standard Size only.
I purchased expensive straight, curved and thinning shears. The straight shears are dull, and the thinning shears has really preformed like the shears you use in your video. The thinning shears I use, doesn’t do anything but pull the hair and certainly does not move freely like yours does. HELP

Why do you call the dog Australian doodle? What is this breed mix?
Australian Labradoodles have lines tracing back to the original breed, which came from Australia. The parent breeds are Labrador Retrievers and Standard Poodles.
I’m a pretty new groomer and we get people in requesting all different haircuts for doodles. The breeders tell them how it should be cut or they find things online. We always tell them it’s completely up to them and their preference for how they want their dog to look. So just curious why is there such confusion for what it’s definitely supposed to look like and why are people being told so many different things for doodles?
Hi there! Gosh, I wish I could answer that!! Not all breeders are created equal. Not all breeders are real breeders! Unfortunately, so many "doodle" breeders are just in it for the quick money. There is definitely a "breed standard" among ALAA and WALA, but, outside of that, no. I have recorded grooming videos on what I call the "Big Rock Look", but to my best awareness, this is the "look" that ALL Australian Labradoodles should have!! The goal is a diamond shaped head (long on top, allowing a natural part, ears long in front, and groomed to the leather in back and bottom third of front, blended into a pointed long beard). For better reference, please watch my videos!! Any" breeder" not recommending this, is not a true breeder of Australian Labradoodles. Furthermore, those of us invested in this breed are very much promoting that they be groomed every 6-8 weeks, with a daily light brushing, plus a weekly DEEP brushing. You CANNOT get a Doodle and expect to not brush them! That is utter foolishness!!
I wish groomers knew about how to do this. They always want to give a poodle cut.
Ughhhh I came here exactly for the beard
Did you get your answer?
My Labradoodle HATES slicker brushes. He only lets me use combs
Have you tried the Chris Christensen Big K?
Something i would advise not to do especially for inexperienced groomers is to try not to bounce around with your scissors, use your fingers at any time possible to protect parts that are easy to cut especially if you are bouncing your hands around
Nose, eyelids, lips, ears (which she showed beautifully) and especially the neck folds hold the skin taut by stretching the skin to lay flat while you are cutting that area.
Step back and be sure that you are creating the shape you want, the muzzle from the front, the cheeks to the top of the head, and from the side should all be cohesive enough. Always be using your greyhound comb (the straight metal toothed comb) to fluff the hair out and then down how the hair naturally lays.
The guy recording is breathing too hard 😭😭😭😭😂😂
Not a good video because of all the barking dogs distracting your pup from what you’re doing. Also makes it hard to hear what you’re saying.
Omg she is so beautiful! Is she a standard poodle and what color coat is she? Is she and F1B?
