Thank you K9-Kent training for bringing Silas in for his puppy grooming session.

K9-Kent has brought several of their board and train clients to us. The results of the training is truly amazing. We ONLY recommend K-9 Kent for training and boarding. I trust them with my personal dogs!

SILAS mastered his grooming appointment with flying colors at Dogs By Design 🎉🎉🎉

🐾 Doodle Puppy Grooming Plan Every Owner Needs! 🐾

Bringing home a Doodle puppy?
Here’s the smartest maintenance grooming schedule to keep that fluffy coat beautiful and your pup stress-free:

Phase 1: Puppy Training Phase (first 6 months)
📅 Every 2 weeks – Short grooming visits

This is SUPER important for training! Frequent visits help your puppy get used to:
✂️ Being touched & handled everywhere
✂️ Clippers, dryers & the grooming table
✂️ Baths, brushing & nail trims
The more positive experiences they have early on, the easier grooming will be for life! Most groomers offer quick “puppy acclimation” trims during this stage.

Phase 2: Maintenance Phase (after 6months)
📅 Every 4 weeks

Once they’re comfortable, switch to a 4-week schedule. This keeps their coat from matting, prevents skin issues, and maintains that adorable Doodle look!

Pro Tip:
🪮Start gentle brushing at home daily/every other day with a slicker brush + comb. Always pair grooming with treats and praise! 🦴💕

A well-groomed, happy Doodle starts with consistency from day one!
