Clipping the poodle face requires confident handling which takes practice from both the groomer and the poodle. Face trimming should start during the first month of a poodle’s life and be something that happens routinely. A 4-6 week grooming schedule is ideal. The eyelids and lips need to be shaved close for hygiene. It’s imperative to ensure that your poodle is still so confident firm handling is key.

Shaving a poodle puppies face is something that requires confident handling and a very steady hand. Perseverance and consistency. Puppies wiggle and squirm while they do everything including being cuddled so it’s not upsetting to this puppy that her face is being shaved despite her moving away. I am holding her firmly and she is irritated and unsure about the new handling and the noise and feeling of the clippers but this puppy is well below threshold and not scared here.
