Just launched: “Winter & Summer Coat Care and Potential Hazards” 🐾
Most of the coat and paw problems I see in the salon are completely preventable — owners just aren’t told what to actually watch for. So I’ve put it all in one guide.
Inside you’ll find:
✅ The 7-second pavement test for heatstroke and paw burns
✅ Why shaving a double coat to “cool them down” backfires — and what to do instead
✅ How to dry a wet coat properly without causing matting
✅ The hidden risks of rock salt and de-icer, plus a full winter paw routine
✅ Why double-coated breeds are especially prone to hot spots, and how to catch them early
✅ The spots owners always miss — from between the pads to under the harness
27 years of grooming table experience, written down so you don’t have to learn it the hard way.

✂️ Easy Doodle Head Trim | Dog Grooming Tutorial

Struggling to create a balanced, fluffy Doodle head?

This is a simple technique I use to help create shape and balance using clipper comb attachments, before refining the finish with scissors.

It’s especially useful for trainee dog groomers and newer groomers who are still building confidence with their scissor skills — and the technique can be adapted across lots of Poodle mixes including Cockapoos, Cavapoos and Labradoodles.

There’s never only one way to groom a dog. Learning different techniques gives you more options and helps you find what works best for you and the dog in front of you. 🐾✂️

🐾 HAND STRIPPING SILKY COATS ✂️

Hand stripping isn’t just for harsh, wiry coats! Silky-coated breeds can also benefit from correct hand stripping techniques to remove dead coat, improve texture and help maintain that beautiful natural finish.

In this video, I’m demonstrating hand stripping a silky coat, showing how we work with the natural growth of the hair and remove the coat correctly rather than simply cutting it away.

Understanding different coat types is such an important part of professional dog grooming. The right grooming technique can make a huge difference to the finish, coat condition and overall result.

🎓 This is one of the techniques we teach our students at Just 4 Paws Dog Grooming Training Centre, helping future groomers understand not just how to groom a dog, but why we choose different techniques for different coats.

Stop guessing what to charge for a groom. 🐾
After 27 years as a professional groomer — and a fair few years as the UK’s No.1 competitive groomer — I can tell you the #1 mistake I see new groomers make: they price themselves by copying whatever the salon down the road charges. That’s how you end up busy AND broke.
So I built something to fix that.
It’s a free 2-minute calculator that works out YOUR grooming prices based on YOUR real costs, your capacity, and the income you actually need to earn — broken down by dog size, so you’re not underselling on the big, hard-to-groom breeds.
No guesswork. No copying prices off Facebook groups. Just the numbers that actually keep your business alive.

👉 Try it free: https://tinyurl.com/just4paws-pricing

This is the first piece of something bigger I’ve been building — Dog Grooming Business in a Box: templates, SOPs and guides to help new groomers set up properly from day one. Try the calculator now and pop your email in to be first to know when it launches, plus early access pricing.
If you’re a groomer, or know one starting out, tag them below or share this post — it might save them from pricing themselves out of business before they’ve even started.

✂️ A QUICK CHAT ABOUT GROOMING SCISSORS

A little look at a couple of my most-used scissors in the salon, along with some simple but important tips on how to hold your scissors correctly and use them safely.

I cover how I like to hold and control my scissors, positioning your hand correctly and a few things to be particularly careful of when working around a dog. 🐶✂️

Scissor skills take time to develop, but getting the basics right from the beginning can make a huge difference to your control, confidence and safety.

Sometimes it’s the small details that make the biggest difference when you’re learning to groom!

27 years in this industry. A competitive career I’ll always be proud of. And every single win chasing the same thing — getting it exactly right. 🏆
Watching this back means something different these days.
Behind every one of these moments was hours nobody saw: the practice, the failed attempts, the standard I held myself to long before anyone else was watching. That chapter’s closed now, but it shaped everything about how I do this.
Proud of every single one of these moments.

✂️ Clipper Comb Attachments – keeping it simple!

A quick follow-on from my Doodle head trimming video, explaining one of the things that can be confusing when you first start using clipper comb attachments.

🐾 Different brands use different numbering systems, so a #3 comb from one brand may not mean the same length as a #3 from another.

🌈 The colours are often a much easier way to recognise and remember your comb lengths — particularly when you’re switching between brands.

✂️ I also explain which blade I use underneath my comb attachments and why. Your blade choice affects how the comb sits, how smoothly it travels through the coat and ultimately the finish you achieve.

A simple bit of clipper knowledge that makes choosing your tools much easier when grooming Doodles, Cockapoos, Cavapoos and other poodle mixes.

When the dog is so tiny there’s absolutely no chance of me fitting in the frame too 😂🐾

Only 9 months old, but already completely desensitised to the nail grinding process 🙌

This is exactly why introducing grooming, handling and equipment from a young age is so important. Building positive experiences early helps create a dog that is calm, confident and comfortable with grooming throughout their life.

Nail grinding doesn’t need to be a battle — early introduction, correct handling and regular exposure make a huge difference.
