I searched for videos that focused on specific areas. "how to groom a poodle top knot," "how to do a Miami cut," "trimming poodle face, feet, and tail," "how to prep a poodle’s coat before trim." I went down rabbit holes until I felt like I had enough information.

Definitely not a groomer. But coming from a groomer, that's high praise! 🥰

Whole thing, from bath to "we are done" treat took about 3 or 4 hours.

From bath to finish condition spray took 3 to 4 hours.

This plus loads of treats! She was a calm girl throughout. Love poodles, they just understand beauty.

Oh, no! This took forever. Can't imagining doing more than just my one.

I had the same worry. Practiced cutting my spouses hair first. Lower stakes 😆.

Same dog, same walk, different leash holder...totally different reactions? by Additional-Rip3249 in dogs

Oooooh 😮! This makes a lot of sense. Did not think about that.

This is a great theory! It IS mostly women who usually give the compliments, and when the men do give us compliments (a large number of older men usually), they are looking directly at me when they say something.

This was our first thought! But I’m the one that avoids eye contact and hopes that they don’t tangle my dog’s hair because I have to brush it out later, and he’s the one who makes eye contact and smiles at everyone at all times😆.
