Grooming

Since your Weimardoodle will have a medium length coat, trips to the groomer shouldn’t be necessary as long as basic grooming has been done at home. With the WeimarDoodles coat you should only need two basic types of brushes to groom your dog. First a basic hair brush like you can find at any store. This doesn’t have to specifically be a dog grooming brush just a regular old hair brush is fine. The second is a slicker brush. This will help you to get out any dead hair once you have combed through your dogs coat with the hair brush. Get your puppy used to being groomed young, and you will never have a problem with grooming time. You will only need to set aside 5-10 minutes a week to groom your WeimarDoodle unless he or she has gotten adventurous in the mud!

Nail Care: When your puppy is very young, we suggest trimming the nails with a regular nail clipper for humans. This will be all you will need for the first couple of weeks as during this time you will need to trim your puppies nails at least once a week as they will be growing very fast. Once your dog is a little older you can trim nails about every other week until they are grown and then you can trim nails once a month when you brush your dogs teeth. Personally we trim our parents nails every other week as we have wood floors and don’t walk the dogs on concrete. If you will be taking your dog for walks on the sidewalk or concrete, you will find that this will file your dogs nails making nail trims almost unnecessary. For adult dogs we recommend regular scissor style clippers and a nail file.

You will want to be careful when trimming your puppies nails so as not to cut the quick, but even being careful, accidents sometimes do happen. We always keep a bottle of Kwik Stop handy to stop the bleeding quickly. Training: Puppy training classes are an invaluable tool that we highly recommend. You can find puppy classes at Petsmart and other stores as well as find trainers who will come to your home. If you opt not to hire a trainer or attend puppy classes, you can certainly train your puppy to have beautiful manners by yourself, the key is to be consistent. Where to get all your puppies needs?
