I've designed this workshop specifically for every doodle pup and their owners. In this 90-minute session, I'll tell you everything you can expect in your doodle's life. This includes coat and grooming, of course, but table manners are also very important. What will you cover in this workshop? Here are a few things you'll cover:

• How do I brush?
• Which brush do I use for this?
• Should I start with the coat blazer yet?
• How often can I wash?
• How do tangles form?
• Coat change; what is it?
• What do I need for coat care?
• Brushing while lying down

Don't buy too much yet; I'll advise you on the materials you'll need during the workshop. Be sure to bring a coat blazer when your doodle gets home, and pick up a few green Activet or Flexit, available here in the webshop.

This is a primarily informative workshop. I'll also show you how to gradually train your Doodle in table manners, as well as how to groom, clean eyes, and trim paw pads.

Workshop: Kniptechnieken

Wil je de vacht van je Doodle zelf professioneel leren onderhouden? Naast de basis die je leert in mijn online cursussen, gaan we tijdens deze 1-op-1 workshop de praktijk in. We focussen ons volledig op het schaarwerk en de details die jouw Doodle er verzorgd en klitvrij uit laten zien.

Wat gaan we doen?

Tijdens deze intensieve workshop van 3 uur nemen we de puntjes op de i. We behandelen onder andere:

• Het koppie: Knippen in de look die jij mooi vindt en die past bij de structuur van de vacht.
• De berenpootjes: Vormgeven aan de pootjes voor dat kenmerkende, verzorgde resultaat.
• Sanitaire trim: Hygiënisch bijwerken van de nodige zones.
• De staart: Netjes in model brengen.
• Nagels: Het veilig knippen van de nagels.
• Gedrag & advies: Ik kijk mee naar het gedrag van je Doodle op tafel en geef je tips om dit proces voor beiden ontspannen te houden.

Voorbereiding: De basis is essentieel

Om de 3 uur in de workshop optimaal te benutten voor het knippen, is het belangrijk dat de basis op orde is:

1. Online Cursus: Je hebt vooraf de online cursus 'Wassen & Drogen' gevolgd en beheerst deze techniek thuis. Je Doodle komt gewassen, droog en volledig klitvrij naar de workshop.
2. Gewenning: Je Doodle is gewend aan de vachtblazer.
3. Benodigdheden: Je beschikt thuis over een eigen waterblazer en een trimtafel (of een veilige, stabiele verhoging).

Is de vacht bij aanvang niet klitvrij? Dan gaat de kostbare tijd op aan uitborstelen in plaats van aan het leerzame knipwerk. Is de vacht té erg in de klit of vervilt, dan ben ik genoodzaakt de workshop te annuleren en kosten in rekening te brengen voor het adviseren van een alternatief of het (laten) inkorten van de vacht.

Voor wie?

Deze workshop is geschikt voor Doodles vanaf ongeveer 9 à 10 maanden die al de nodige tafelmanieren hebben. Heeft je Doodle erg veel moeite met stilstaan op tafel? Boek dan eerst een 'borstel- en tafelmanieren-uurtje'. We zorgen er dan samen eerst voor dat het gedrag verbetert, zodat jullie daarna ontspannen aan de slag kunnen met de trimworkshop.

Praktische informatie:

• Duur: 3 uur 1-op-1 begeleiding.
• Investering: € 325,00
• Naslagwerk: Je ontvangt een uitgewerkt naslagwerk voor thuis, zodat je alles in je eigen tempo nog eens rustig na kunt lezen.

Klaar om de vachtverzorging van je Doodle naar een hoger niveau te tillen?

This workshop is only available after you've completed the valuable workshop #2. This is the foundation for a well-trimmed coat.

How wonderful would it be to be able to groom your own Doodle in your own home, whenever it suits you? Never having to pay for a grooming session again, just groom them the way you like them, and not having to rely on your groomer's skills or abilities.

I can teach you. Using clippers with attachment combs and scissors, we'll work together in this third workshop. You must have completed the "coat care" workshop before you can take the "trim your own doodle" workshop. You'll have done the coat care at home the day before, as we learned in the "coat care" workshop, including the clipping part we discussed there. We'll go over anything that doesn't work out another time. But at least give it a try; it's just hair. It will grow back.

What are we going to do?

First, I'll check if your coat is groomed. So, it's thoroughly brushed, washed, and dried. If I can easily get through it with the rake, then we can start grooming. I'll check the clipping we practiced in the "coat care" workshop. If it's still not good enough, we'll go over it again.

Then we will determine the right length that suits your life, time, coat condition, etc.

We'll use clippers with attachment combs to shorten the body to the desired length, and the legs as well. We'll finish the trim with scissors. We'll also trim the legs partially, in case the clippers don't work at home.

I'll teach you the basics of grooming, then you'll have to practice at home. It will get better each time.

*In the private Facebook group, you can find videos about grooming, and you can also ask questions there. You can also do this via WhatsApp and video calling. So feel free to ask me any questions you have if you run into any problems.

Do you need to purchase anything else?

During the workshops, you can use the products and materials I have available in the salon. You can try out everything that feels right for you. Not every pair of scissors is made for every hand. You'll have to figure this out yourself, but I can certainly help you get started and provide advice during the workshops. Various scissors and products are available for sale in the salon and in the webshop.

I use the Heiniger Opal and Heiniger Saphir Basic clippers with Oster attachment combs. I recommend the Saphir Basic for home use. If you're planning to attend this workshop, start looking, as they're often sold out. Google "Heiniger Saphir Basic" and you'll see the available options. If you're interested in a corded clipper, I can purchase one for you. For small doodles with fleece coats, I have another clipper option. We'll discuss this during the workshops.

All in all, quite an expense, that's true. But you'll earn it back in time. If you assume at least 6 trims per year, you're quickly talking about
€700.00 per year.

Almost every doodle owner knows how difficult it can be to keep your doodle calm on the table during grooming, such as brushing and drying. Snapping at the brush, not being allowed to brush its paws, you name it. If you, as an owner, can't handle this, hours of grooming will be very unpleasant for both you and your doodle.

What are we going to do?

In the "Table Manners" training, I'll initially help you, in an hour, identify the problem, practice, and provide tips and tricks to use at home so your doodle learns how to do it right along with you.

Costs €85.00

Is your Doodle constantly tangled and you have no idea why? Does it constantly need to be trimmed or shaved, even though you'd prefer a Doodle with longer fur? Then book a grooming session.

What are we going to do?

You bring your own brushes and combs so I can check if you have the right tools

Do you groom your Doodle yourself, but still can't seem to get that beautiful little face? Or is the time between groomings—at a grooming salon—just right, but the face quickly grows too long, and you're not sure how to cut it? I can help you with that.

What are we going to do?

In this approximately one-hour training session, we'll work with your doodle to accentuate that beautiful face just as a doodle should be. You can try out the scissors with me and purchase them, or you can bring your own tools.

You'll need to make sure the head is washed, dried, and tangle-free, and then we'll get started. A reference book with text and photos is ready for you to take home so you can review everything and use it when you get started yourself.

Once you have completed a workshop or the first-year plan at Buddha's Doodle Spa, you will start practicing at home.

But after a while you still find that you are not doing something completely the way you want, such as
