- Come watch how we do a "Teddy Bear Face" on a Havapoo mix . The equipment we are using: www.ginasgrooming.com/blog/tr.... Most drop-coated breeds who are kept in a pet trim have a face that balances the haircut, which in the grooming world is usually referred to as a Teddy Bear face. Faces and heads are the hardest thing to learn when perfecting the art of grooming, so we hope this gives you some insights and that you enjoy the watch!

Great tips thank you. Some groomers will post an hour long vlog of them talking nonstop, their bodies blocking the ENTIRE view of the dog the whole time, and nonstop passive aggressive complaining about their customers. It’s nice to see an actual instruction video, very well edited
Thank you for your kind input! Really glad you like the format! Lol, I also started releasing occasional vlogs this year (trying to fill in the blanks of grooming education with discussions), so I hope if I'm ever passive aggressive, you'll call me out! 😆 Thanks so much for watching! 💕 🙏
You couldn't say it better hahahaha
That end result was so stinkin cute!
Aw, thank you! This little guy is my own critter, so I will let him know, lol! 😍
This was one of the clearest grooming videos I’ve ever seen. Thank you!
Thank *you* for your kind comment! 🥰
Now THIS is a great grooming video. Nice skills and straight to the point!
Omgosh, you are so kind, Camille! 🙏 I try to film like I'm teaching a student in real life, so I'm glad it comes thru! Thanks so much for the amazing comment and for watching! 💕
So awesome! I'm a former groomer. I learned on the job from other groomers. My dog handling was A+ and I mastered the basics of haircuts, but my technical skills weren't great. I'm grateful I was able to find a niche with special needs pets and their special needs owners (exclusively housecall for dogs like puppy mill rescues or who had owners with disabilities that made it difficult to leave the home), but I wish there had been more videos like this in my day!
Hi, thanks so much for the sweet comment! I love that you work with special-needs pets - I also do a few housecall rounds every month to go visit my older or timid babies, so what you do is near and dear to my heart. 💕 Groomers like you are rare and special - and very much needed! Thank you for doing what you do! 🙏🐾
@@GinasGrooming I'm actually retired now, but thank you so much for you kind words! 😊❤️
Wonderful video, so clear and great tips. The dog is so well behaved and just adorable. Thank you!
Hi Darlene, thank you so much! Glad the tips helped... and I'll let Silaf (the little model) know what you thought of his performance, lol! 😆
This is one of the best grooming videos I've seen online!! Thank you :D Not a professional groomer but have been trying to do my own doggy at home :) This is so helpful!
Yay, thanks so much for your kind comment and happy grooming! 🥰
Great video! That dog was so well behaved, makes my mini bernedoodle look like a monster haha!
😂 If you can believe it, Silaf (the little guy in the vid) was TERRIBLE for grooming when he first started, so keep the faith! Your little Bernadoo has the genetics of two fabulously intelligent dogs, so all should be good in time! Just keep fussing on him/her... dogs love grooming, they just don't all know it yet! Thanks so much for joining! 🥰
Wow! That's some jazzy music.
😆 It is! It matched out little jazzy subject, so went with it, lol! Appreciate you joining the channel, Carrie!
Thank you, I'm a grooming trainee at Petsmart and I've got everything down except doing TBF. This video has helped a lot ❤
Yay, so happy that the video helped! Good luck on your grooming journey - it's an amazing ride! 😍
this is the most helpful video when it comes to pro grooming… thank you for actually tell us which direction and motions to use.
Hi, thank you so much, so glad the video was helpful! Really appreciate your feedback! 🙏❤️
He looks so handsome! 😊
Thank u, Micaella! 🥰 Silaf is my little baby, so I will let him know, lol! Thanks so much for your comment!
Awwe, looks like my pooch
Aw, that's my little guy! What mix is your baby?
Great video, thanks 🙏🏻
Glad you liked it, @Macca! Thanks for watching! 🙏
Beautiful work thank you!!
Thank you so much for your kind comment! 🙏💕
This has a lot of really helpful tips! Thank you
Thank you, glad to be of service! 🙏
Great tips and steps! Thank you
Thank you so much, Graciela! 🙏💕
Great video. Thanks!
Thank you for your kind comment! 🙏
Thank you for this! My dog looks nearly identical! I will attempt this cut in my dog
Hi @Rebekah O! 😍 Omg, your pup looks adorable from your profile image! So lol, not sure what mix my little guy is... have you done a DNA test on yours, or do you know? Curious... 😊 (P.S. Thanks so much for watching, and good luck on your haircut! Send me a pic if you'd like: gina@ginasgrooming.com! I'll post it on our website!)
So pretty good job 👏
Thank you! 🙏
What a good dog!!!
Hi Jeanne! Thank you, that's our personal little baby, Silaf (I know, weird name, but he came with it, and it fit!) I will let him know he has a new fan! 🥰
Thank you for your videos. I appreciate them very much. One video I saw had a lady yelling the whole time, lol. Owning a poodle is intimidating at times, because it seems everyone has very passionate, yet opposing ideas about everything. It’s very bewildering. I appreciate the levelheaded, informative approach in your videos. ❤
Hi Angela, thank you so much, that means a lot! And I completely agree! Before I ever touched a grooming clipper, I was a Silicon Valley engineer, and when I changed careers (for my heart), it was so confusing and yes, everyone has a different passionate opinion! So I promised that once I learned enough about pet care and sorted thru the mess, I would try to explain it to others the way I wish it was explained to me. So happy it's helping (hopefully, lol)! Appreciate your kindness! 🙏😍
Great video about to try it on my dog now lol
@Bobby hill, I believe in you! 👍😍
Que precioso!!!
Gracias! 😍
Gina, Thank you very, very much🐕🐾🐾
Hi Lisa! Thank you, you are so kind! Glad to see you here! 😍
Thank you Gina, 4.30am here in London getting ready for college, Thank you for your lovely videos they are such a great help 🐕💖
@@lisawilliams5281, your kind words are always appreciated! Oh, I miss London - what an amazing city to live in, I'm sure! I'm so happy you like the videos, and thanks for your support, truly! ❤
Do you use the brush forward and cut anything that falls past the nose technique?
I heard about it in training and seen a few videos on TH-cam about it but whenever I try it I find it leaves the moustache sort of weird compared to the way you’ve done it
Nice job and straight to the point 😊
Hi there, interesting, I'm going to have to go search for that technique! I have not used that for TB faces, so not sure how it would come out. But from your feedback, perhaps not the best way, lol! 😅 The only time I use the length of the nose as a marker is when I'm trimming long ears that fall into the food bowl, making sure they don't go past the snout. Thanks for the insights and your kind comment! 😍
Hi Gina! Love your videos! I have a question, when you reverse the head with the guard comb, (in this case using an O) does it make the hair shorter since you are going in reverse? So for example if I did a 10 blade on the body I would use a 2 GC on the head but i normally shave up the head towards the body instead of down like you do. If i did it down would it look shorter? What guard combs do you recommend for body lengths? Thank you!!
Hi Cat, thank you so much, and what a great question! Yes, you are correct, in general if you go against the lay of coat with a guard comb, it will cut shorter (usually 2 steps down, meaning a #0 backwards=#2 forwards.) However, the coat on the head of most breeds and mixes who are candidates for haircuts usually have a pretty *open* lay on their heads, with it sometimes even laying slightly forwards as you approach the visor. There are some exceptions, like shaving a schnauzer head, I go front to back, or some Lhasas that have floppy coat, I'll go down the sides and follow the coat.
For your #10 blade on the body, you are doing a shave-down, so a #2 on the head sounds like a good tight choice while still leaving a bit of personality. And unless your pup has a tight lay on their head, the official way most pro groomers learn is to go back to front. If you're concerned to take too much off, try forward with a #0 and see how that works for you! You can then start stepping down until you get the length you want. Hope that helps, and thanks so much for your kind comment! 😍
Beautiful! Is this baby a maltipoo?
Hi Kathy! Thank you so much! Our best "guestimate" is that he is a Havanese/Spaniel mix. His ears are very long, which is neither Poodle-y or Maltese-y (has to be Spaniel), and his coloring and tail match up with a Hav. Since this little guy is my own baby, I need to get a DNA test one day - I'm curious as well! We just call him our little teddy bear. Thank you so much for watching and for your kindness! 😊
Gina, what brand of thinning shears should I buy for my Cavapoo? And can I use a 6"?
Hi, thanks for your question! There are a lot of good brands, but if you are grooming at home, look at Kenchii: amzn.to/3GeAQrF. The biggest differentiator in thinning shears will not be size but how many teeth they have and how far away they are spaced. This then makes them "chonkers", "chunkers", and all different variations, but the link I attached is a standard thinning shear that should get you through most grooming jobs. Hope that helps and thanks! G
After seeing what it takes to get the "TEDDY BEAR CUT" my dog who is actually named Teddy will be going to the groomer. lol
Lolol, Shirley, that is hilarious! Don't worry, after about 1,000 times, it becomes a piece of cake. 😄 Thank you for understanding what it takes. 🙏
What guide do you use? Like what mm?
Hi @Jayson DV, I'm using a #0 metal guide comb, which is about 16mm (5/8") and using a #30 (.5mm) blade under the comb. Hope this helps and thanks for watching! 😊
@@GinasGrooming thanks!
What breed is this?
Hi Danielle, he is a rescue mutt! But our best guess is a Havanese-Poodle, thus Havapoo. 😊
Always cut the eyelashes unless requested..
Interesting perspective! In my part of the world, the rule is actually the opposite. And as a grooming manager that had to field calls from clients when one of my Groomers cut the eyelashes on their pets, I can tell you that people's reactions are incredibly emotional to this. To owners that love their dog's lashes, they feel this is part of their expression, and I have had clients actually cry. Now some breeds (like Poodles) usually get their eyelashes cut if they have a rounded topknot, but for puppy cuts, I have always found it a safer practice to *always ask* the client their preference, and if unknown, err on the side of being conservative. You can always trim the lashes down if the client decides they like that better. Thanks for joining the discussion and for your input!
