The more grooming you do with your puppy the better your puppy is going to do when going to a groomer for the first time.  If your puppy is good for a groomer they will treat your puppy better. 

Not All Groomers Are Created Equal!

The best way to find a GOOD groomer is find someone in your local area that has an Australian Labradoodle with a GREAT hair cut and ask who their groomer is.  

Once you know the birthdate of your puppy I would highly recommend booking an appointment for your puppy for 4.5 months of age for a first introduction to going to a groomer.  If you do not already have a groomer, finding a new groomer that will take a new client, is like finding a needle in a haystack.
