Mine as well, also gone many years ago. I'd bathe her weekly and she would show off to every member of the house, she'd only leave if you said: "oh, you've showered! So pretty!"

Gayle Klein I usually French braid poodles and Afghans. Or start with a French braid when I can. Lovely video here and beautiful work on bands. Great job great poodle

Birgy Schonberger thank you hope you enjoyed!

dana m wow, never heard of this banding legs 😱

This is the trouble with delegating a grooming job to others. Do it yourself.

Yes, that's why I point out in the video you always want to check your banding of the ears with a comb :-)

Wtf?!? Why in God's name did a band need to be placed on the dogs ankle after being groomed in the first place?

David Keleshian she loves spa day!

David Keleshian dog qualudes. Kidding. She’s a great poodle

David Keleshian you’re amazing and bubbles is such a beautiful poodle

Thank you so much!

If you go to my page and click on videos, there are about 12 on there right now I will hopefully have time to edit and add some more soon. :-)

Just working on sit and down stays help. Increasing the amount of time every day can get them used to it so they can lay down for hours

You have a puppy. Puppies need to move. Have you ever seen a human child at the hair dresser? They cannot sit still till older. Just wait.

Exiersise! If they are tired they will just fall asleep as you groom them.

Lynn C you just want to keep it loose enough so it doesn’t pull on eyes, then pull it backward to lesson the tension there as well

Denise Agre-Gill - On the contrary, it is you who is misinformed. Whiskers are not ordinary hair like a man's beard. Whiskers on a dog or cat, are antenna like the insects antenna. They are meant for picking up vibrations / sensory information and sending this to the dog's brain. They are useful with balance and a dog being able to feel his way without bumping into things, even without sight. Cutting them off is like taking away ears or nose or eyes. They are a tool for the dog. Our facial hair is no different from hair on head. But not whiskers on animals. Go do some reading on it. There is a lack of understanding on whiskers by the general public. Its almost as bad as cutting of ears and tails to make the dog conform to a picture in our heads as to how he should look. Cutting of a poodle's tail was considered normal a few years ago, or have you forgotten? We don't do that now, do we?

@@lass-inangeles7564 You are totally misinformed... you are just a AR person who likes to stir shit. You my dear need to go bother someone else besides Julie...

I bred her 🥰

The whole point of showing is to evaluate if a dog is WORTHY of being used for breeding... not the other way around! RRRRRGGGGGG hate back yard breeders that have no damn clue they are a back yard breeder :(

Finally someone understands!!

Grande Style Pet Grooming no problem guys! I am honored!

Didn’t she make an awesome video.

@@dawnsunrise1981 Yes, she did.

usually about every week and a half give or take depending on the dogs coat. Bands should be brushed and reset once or twice a week depending on coat type, coat change etc

You just have to work with them and place their head down on it and teach them to stay they get it pretty quick they like to rest on it it’s comfortable

Yes :-)

you’d be surprised. I have a white Poodle, non show but beautiful and she is super athletic and plays in the mud like a champ! Lol

My white show boy is always getting in the mud! There's a reason we do weekly baths! 🤣

Lulu Ramirez hi lula! You want to grow the hair out for showing the dog. The longer it gets, the dryer it gets and it tends to break . Also as they scratch or play it breaks. It gets in their eyes, it blows in the wind, it tangles and then you have to brush it out ... so it breaks. So the banding is basically to keep it from breaking and keep it out of the way.

exactly, it protects the hair and promotes growth :-)

To prevent matting and keep it out of their face :-)

I used to think so u til I got one. They absolutely love it. They crave touch and love being groomed and adored. They’re crazy smart too and all around great pets

That dog is better maintained and receives more attention than most. If she didn't enjoy the groom she would not tolerate it.

Bettie Giles why? Cause she's loved and maintained? She clearly looks like she HATES this grooming process... you can tell cause she's fighting so much. 🤣

rebecca lankford better than being food in Asia don’t you think? They are being pampered and getting so much positive attention, you know how much these owners care for these type of show dogs? vs them being chained up, neglected, kill them, eat them etc.

Pure bred Standards were bred exactly for human contact companionship and to please:) They absolutely love being groomed and loved. They also make excellent bird dogs.

@@luluramirez2920 Huh??? So its okay to do anything you like to a dog because someone in Asia is eating dog meat? What sort of idiotic logic is that?

Yes you should feel sorry for them. I sure do. The people who 'show' dogs obsessively groom them, and poor dog has to endure hours of sitting still while being poked, hair pulled, and whiskers shaved off (which is bad for them). Also have to endure hair in their face and overly long ears, staying indoors, making their dog pleasures impossible. This is like dressing up little toddlers in the Victorian days, and not letting them play like kids. People forget that the Poodle is a water retriever and hunting dog. It is used to going into the woods and swimming to get the bird that was shot down. Poodles need and love exercise. Making them sit for hours is really wrong. The whole business of 'showing' dogs is awful for the dog, but an ego trip for the owner. The money is made from stud services and puppy sales, so in addition to be primped, not allowed to play, and endure hours in a cage at the show and traveling, the female dogs have litter after litter of babies so owner can get money for them. The inbreeding also results in genetic weaknesses. Let a dog be a dog. Cut all that damn hair off and let him romp and swim as a dog should. This is another human neurosis to 'show' a dog. AKA should be cited for animal cruelty. A whole industry built on exploitation of dogs.

@@lass-inangeles7564 You have no idea what you are talking about; these dogs spend their whole lives with people. They love the attention and are kept better then 9 out of 10 dogs out there. Their coats are clean and mat free, ears and teeth are clean and their nails are kept at a proper length.

Love your sarcasm

Lass-in Angeles AKC show dogs are some of the most pampered, well taken care of, cherished dogs that I know of. These dogs are kept in such good condition through regular grooming and training. We take pride in our dogs and the amount of time money and sweat we put into them. And yes I did say money we sink thousands of dollars into them there is no money to be made unless you are puppy milling or back yard breeding! A lot of pet owners are the real neglect/ abuse cases. We get dogs that come in only every 4 to 6 months, sometimes once a year matted to the skin they have to be shaved down sometimes with the surgical blade the matting is so tight peeling the pelts off the dogs bodies. Sometimes we find sores, skin issues, fleas, ticks even maggots in some cases and Infected puss filled ears! A lot of these people put vanity over humanity telling us they do not want their dogs shaved down they would rather the dogs endure hours of dematting and brushing pulling and yanking on their skin hurting them so that they don’t have to look at their dog shaved down because of their neglect. Sometimes they even cut the mats out on their own and in the process slice the dogs skin open we have seen it many times! And what about all the people that buy that cute puppy in the pet store window funding and continuing puppy mills where bitches are bred heat after heat litter after litter exhausting them they are raised on chicken wire in their own feces and filth with matted pelted hair. Puppies ripped away long before they should be at five weeks old even and shipped off all around the country on 18 wheelers. So no, I don’t believe AKC show dogs are neglected or treated cruel at all! Mic drop!

@@juliewilkinsgrooming Julie, I totally agree with you on every count. I've done a lot of rescue and horrified at owner's neglect of dogs. Even my neighbor has two small dogs and they are very neglected and I groom them whenever she lets me. I know you take excellent care of your dogs. I know that because I can see the way the dog is - calm, looks perfectly healthy, and is relaxed. Which tells me there are no stressors. The only issue I have with this industry - AKC and showing, is that dogs have to sport long hair, and cannot run in grass and fields like they were meant to. They are primped up, and groomed for hours. This is tiring for the dog. To do a poodle takes me 4 hrs at least. And this is an ordinary clip, and maintenance groom, ears, glands, clipping, bathing, nails, toes. To do a show dog takes several days of careful manicured cuts. A bit of a burden on a dog, no? However, like I said, show dog owners take excellent care of their pets and they spend a lot of money on their pets. You misunderstood this part. It is the AKC and the whole 3-ring circus of shows that is a huge money making industry and if it were not, dogs would not be shown. I still feel that dogs should not be shown. Its like putting kids in beauty pageants. They cannot be kids anymore,

Lass-in Angeles I can do a show coat in probably the same time it takes you to do a pet trim so how is it cruel? And I don't know what dogs you're talking about but my dogs go walking every day, go hiking with me, biking with me, boating, they play fetch at the park they love to retrieve they are very active they have to be to stay in muscle condition! They get more exercise than the obese couch potato dogs eating Alpo that I see every day. I support AKC and the preservation of the purebred dog and always will. And as far as AKC being a moneymaking circus, there is no money in dogs you just spend money kind of like horses it is a hobby and a passion. Dog people do not have money. After all the time and money you put into showing dogs you're lucky if you even break even after a litter of puppies. Please don't make me have to turn off the commenting on my videos.

@@juliewilkinsgrooming Ok Julie, I guess I was wrong about a lot of things. Thanks for setting the record straight! I'm sorry. You cleared up a lot of misconceptions I had about show dogs. Yes, you are right about owners being couch potatoes and feeding junk food. Just saw another neighbor with a very obese small dog - result of junk food and no walks. I take back my comments. Please don't disable comments as these channels are very educational.

@@lass-inangeles7564 my show poodles play just like my pet poodle. Their favorite pastime is rolling in chicken poo! 🤣

No tienes idea de lo que hablas¡

grannyzeebee thanks for your input :-) have a great day!

So you just want to leave the dog to Matt?? I'm sure that dog was in a hike before this considering how tired it looks. If he was uncomfortable he would be wiggling and moving around but he's not.

Clearly, the love that goes into Dog showing and grooming is not in your mentality. Please stay in your realm . Don't try to expand your knowledge.

@@kathyspringer3926 : Madam, pls shut up, thank you. You have no idea what u are talking about.
