Eight beautiful cockapoo's and eight rather nervous owners turned up for the cockapoo grooming course - a slightly humorous view of the day

Ready for the off - Millie (l) & Pepper (r)

Push Me - Pull You Dog

Fully brushed, ready for the scissors & clippers

Maisie with as much fur next to her and on her

Betty, the first one in the bath, after arriving disgracefully dirty

Now trust me, this wont hurt a bit

Watch, its like this

Well I can see fur on the table, but not much off the dog

Not Listening! This hoodie cuts out all noise !

Hmm, now how can I hide these

Are you going to make another dog with that mum?

Now, where shall we begin?

Feeling fluffy !

Look into my eyes. No Look at my teeth !

Brrr, bit chilly mum

Zzzzz, bored now

This is such hard work, think I'll take nap

Nearly finished

Now...just...this...little...bit. There !

Hmm, wonder if I can escape?

Great pictures, Julie!
I keep looking at Pepper and seeing bit sticking out - I think I'm getting obsessed!
I might try and have a go at Ruby this afternoon while it's all fresh in my mind!

Hope to see you all soon

Oh Julie what lovely photos! Thanks for snapping away.

If anyone has any before and after shots to add to the thread that would be great!

There are 2 spare places on the next Cockapoo course (12th May) if anyone would like to do the day again (I've done it twice with Rufus and Basil and I've lost count of the number of times Betty Bossy Knickers has been!

). Alternatively anyone reading this thread who would like to attend a day .....just PM me .......Sezra Sarah?

Very well done everyone. I bet you were all shattered afterwards ..... 'Poos and all!

Yes, lovely pictures to complete an excellent day, thank you! I'm going to buy some of the recommended clippers and try and keep going with what we learnt. Think I'm also a bit obsessed with odd tufts now! Steph

I was so tired afterwards! We were out at dinner and i ended up leaving early to come back and crash - amazing how concentration takes it out of you

I was a bit rushed this morning trying to get the photos on and dash off to the Bushy Park meet. Just edited two photos.

Highly recommend the day, its very informative. I went just with thought that it would help me keep Millie's fur under control and less knotty, for inbetween professional grooming. I came away thinking, actually I could probably do the lot on my own now.

The dogs all behaved themselves and every so often one or other of us would wander off with our dog to give them a breather and stretch their legs.

Dinah the teacher is fabulous, so friendly and easy to talk to. She explains things well and helps lots.

Highly, highly recommend the course. Sorry Karen, probably making work for you here !
