As a judge and exhibitor of poodles

I am cringing watching this video

why are you using curved shank scissors on a top knot?

and why are you not warning people about pointing the scissor AWAY from the eyes

your video is made in good will

but most watchers dogs will not be standing this still

This is a job for proffesional well trained people dogs can be seriousy injured by inexperienced owners

A dog should be groomed as though the groomer will be judged on it. No matter if it's a pet or show or competition. I don't liek that it's fine if it's not perfect because it's not a competition. Every dog I groom has to be as perfect as I can make it, no matter what.

i think she did a great job for "pet" grooming, your comments are harsh and the most important thing in grooming is how the dog is treated. with love and kindness,which i think she showed. your probably a character out of the movie"Best in Show"

@ardneish good points, (the way i feel about the tone is not as important as the physical well being of animals and the good training of future veterinarians) how do i know you really are a judge? ":L

I think she's done ok. She's not claiming to be a poodle expert, just going over the basics. This poodles coat is pretty short but I did a black standard poodle myself today with short coat as she's growing it out from the last groomer who shaved her down, which could easily be the case here. I think some of these comments are harsh and not constructive. A big part of what makes an excellent groomer is thier ability to help improve skills and knowledge without insulting eachother.

LOL... I had only 1 minute video clip to show each technique, and we did 100 of them . WHEW! We did finish grooming her all the way after the video shooting. My grooming is very professional and I have quite a client base.
