For curly / poodle-type coat coats we use: Stand dryer for fluff-dry, Slicker brush + comb for line-brushing, Detail shears for face and feet, Blender shears for body transitions, Clipper with variable guard combs. Drying method is stand/fluff dryer (not cage-dried — produces tight, uneven finish). The right tool pairing is what separates a proper groom from a generic one.

Why is my Curly / Poodle-Type Coat dog shedding so much?

Curly / Poodle-Type Coat dogs are classified as low shedders. These coats don't shed like double-coated breeds — instead, loose hair gets trapped in the coat and causes mats. Regular brushing and professional grooming prevents that.

Can I groom my Curly / Poodle-Type Coat dog at home?

You can maintain the coat at home with brushing and baths, but full grooms on curly / poodle-type coat coats usually require professional tools — Stand dryer for fluff-dry and Slicker brush + comb for line-brushing — and the correct technique. Curly coats are priced higher because skilled scissoring takes longer than clipper-only cuts.
