Every oodle coat tells a different story. In Oodle Head Studies, leading educators demonstrate how to shape, refine, and balance every type of oodle head, from plush teddy trims to low-maintenance pet styles. Learn how coat texture, expression, and technique come together to create soft, natural, and practical results across Cavoodles, Spoodles, Labradoodles, and Groodles, and a handful of extra oodle oddballs.

Oodle Origins

Understand how different parent breeds, skull shapes, and coat types influence your trim. Learn to recognise the subtle variations that change everything, from open natural styles to soft teddy heads, and how to make styling choices that suit the dog in front of you.

Perfecting Your Prep

Good styling starts with great prep. Discover the washing, drying, and combing techniques that make oodle coats easier to shape and finish. Learn how to lift and separate every layer for smoother scissoring, better balance, and lasting results.

Styling the Main Oodles

Work through Cavoodle, Spoodle, Labradoodle, and Groodle heads in a range of trims. See how coat texture, scissor work, and muzzle balance can completely change a dog's expression, from fluffy teddy looks to simple, low-maintenance styles.

The Oddball Oodles

From Moodles to Pom x Poodles, seniors to puppies, this unit celebrates the unexpected. Learn how to adjust your technique for mixed coats, finer hair, or delicate features to create kind, flattering styles that still look cohesive and professional.
