Ever wondered what your Doodle groomer is REALLY thinking—or why it’s so tough to get an appointment? 🐶✂️ In this eye-opening episode of The Doodle Pro® Podcast, I sit down with River Lee, owner of The Savvy Groomer and a renowned speaker and master grooming technician, to reveal what goes on behind the scenes in the grooming world.

💡 Get answers to questions like:
✔️ How often should Doodles be groomed—and when should they start?
✔️ Why is grooming so expensive? (Hint: It’s more than just a haircut!)
✔️ What skill level do dog stylists need, and what stress do they face?
✔️ How has the "Doodle Deluge" changed the grooming industry?
✔️ Do groomers really hate Doodles? (Spoiler: They don’t—but there’s a reason for the reputation!)
✔️ How can Doodle parents set their dogs and groomers up for success?

🐾 PLUS: River explains why Doodle coat maintenance is trickier than many owners realize, how a pandemic influx of high-maintenance dogs has created a grooming industry shortage, and what Doodle parents can do to make grooming a smoother experience for everyone.
