12 Days of Poodles

2025

12 Days of Poodles, new for 2025! In this course, every day for 12 days we will bring you a new, informative tutorial from a range of topics to help you with your Poodle - from trimming and bathing at the show, to banding between shows and tons in between. These 12 tutorials are unique from the 2022, 2023, and 2024 versions - enroll in all 4 for 48 unique tutorials.

From April 19th-30th, a new tutorial will be released. Sign up at any time between April 19-30th and you will receive ALL of the tutorials, no matter when you sign up.

  • You will have access to ALL tutorials that have previously been released and all tutorials yet to be released.
  • **POST-APRIL 30th, 2025: You can still sign up and receive instant, lifetime access to all 12 tutorials! If you signed up prior to April 30th, you will still access all 12 tutorials.

This year's topics include...

  • How to 'trim in" the spray up
  • Training your Poodle's head placement
  • How to "gently band" your Poodle between shows
  • Removing hairspray
  • Clipping the neck and clipping against the grain
  • Bathing your Toy Poodle at the dog show with the bucket bath
  • Determining the size of the tail
  • much more!

We have put these tutorials together with all levels of Poodle owners & groomers in mind, as well as topics that we are frequently asked about. Maybe you're just curious about Poodles and want to know about some of the grooming involved - this is a great way to get a taste of the Poodle world!

Tutorials may include a video, diagrams, written text or a combination thereof. Some of our tutorials are new, never-before-seen content! PLUS, every day you will find a coupon code for a LEDSA course related to the daily tutorial.

Learn at your own pace...

When you enroll in the course, you get automatic access to all of the materials - in this case, every daily tutorial that has already been released. You can always come back to the course and re-access your materials - rewatch, review, and rewind as many times as you need. The content is yours, for life!
