The Lagotto Romagnolo is a unique breed with curly, waterproof fur that does not shed. Because of this, it requires regular and professional grooming from a young age, with coat maintenance needed approximately once a month.<\/p>

A proper grooming routine not only improves the dog\u2019s comfort but also prevents matting, skin issues, and helps the dog grow into a confident adult that behaves calmly during grooming.<\/p>

Why is early grooming habituation important?<\/strong><\/p>

The Lagotto is a sensitive, intelligent, and trainable breed. Introducing grooming procedures during puppyhood helps the dog accept the full grooming routine much more calmly later on. Early introduction:<\/p>

  • reduces stress<\/li>
  • prevents fear-based reactions<\/li>
  • makes handling safer<\/li>
  • supports the development of a beautiful, healthy coat<\/li><\/ul>

    The first grooming session usually happens with the breeder, allowing the puppy to begin learning this lifelong routine in the comfort of its home.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    At this stage, the goal is not a full grooming session but a positive experience.<\/p>

    • place the puppy on a non-slippery surface<\/li>
    • introduce the comb and brush<\/li>
    • let it hear the dryer on a low setting<\/li>
    • gently touch the paws, ears, and muzzle<\/li><\/ul>

      Only minor trimming occurs now: around the eyes, paw pads, and rear for hygiene.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      This is the first full-body trimming, aimed at encouraging the development of the adult coat\u2019s strong structure.\u00a0<\/p>

      The first bath and drying take place now as well.<\/p>

      As the Lagotto\u2019s coat starts to thicken, correct technique becomes important:<\/p>

      • shape the coat with scissors or clippers, beginning to define breed-specific lines<\/li>
      • bathe the puppy using a breed-specific shampoo<\/li>
      • dry gently so that the curls are not damaged<\/li>
      • after drying, adjust any uneven areas for a uniform, dense coat<\/li><\/ul>

        The focus remains on creating a positive experience and building trust.<\/p>

        Around 1 year of age: coat change and mat prevention<\/p>

        During this time, the Lagotto puppy coat transitions to its adult texture, increasing the risk of tangles. It\u2019s especially important to:<\/p>

        • brush regularly (2\u20133 times a week)<\/li>
        • bathe and dry fully every 4\u20136 weeks (only after detangling the coat)<\/li>
        • check problem areas such as the armpits, behind the ears, and thighs<\/li><\/ul>

          The groomer also begins shaping the coat so the young dog gradually takes on the characteristic Lagotto appearance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

          From 6 months onward: establishing the adult grooming routine<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
          \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

          The adult Lagotto coat is dense, curly, and prone to matting, so regular grooming is essential:<\/p>

          • full bath and drying every 4\u20138 weeks<\/li>
          • coat shaping to maintain the breed\u2019s characteristic look<\/li>
          • ear cleaning and hair thinning if needed<\/li>
          • regular nail trimming<\/li>
          • trimming around the eyes and paws<\/li>
          • At home, the owner\u2019s duty is to brush regularly to keep the coat airy and healthy.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

            \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

            The breed\u2019s coat:<\/p>

            • does not shed, so it doesn\u2019t leave hair around the home<\/li>
            • is curly, dense, and waterproof<\/li>
            • mats easily if not regularly maintained<\/li>
            • looks best when trimmed to about 3 cm in length all over\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>

              Proper care results in a curly, shiny, healthy coat that highlights the Lagotto\u2019s natural beauty.<\/p>

              Lagotto grooming requires special techniques. An experienced groomer:<\/p>

              • understands the breed\u2019s coat structure<\/li>
              • knows how to prevent matting<\/li>
              • uses the right tools and products<\/li>
              • provides a stress-free environment<\/li>
              • helps establish a long-term grooming routine for the puppy<\/li><\/ul>

                Regular, professional grooming is not a luxury, but the foundation of the Lagotto\u2019s health and well-being.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
