Brush him every day or two. Use a wire brush. I also heard you can use detangler spray to help if you get a mat. If it gets too matted just shear it all off and put a good sweater on him for a few weks until more hair grows back but keep brushing him!

To keep a poodle comfortable & looking like a poodle you need to get it professionally clipped at least every 6 weeks or learn how to do it yourself.......but poodles have hair, not fur & it grows quickly. In addition you need to be a responsible poodle owner & brush it out on a regular basis. Get a "slicker" brush & brush away from the growth. Don't allow mats to form. They pull on the skin & are painful to the dog. Brushing will be easy if you are keeping it clipped. Be a proud poodle owner.

Poodles are very high-maintenance dogs and need a lot of grooming. The best way I found to keep the hair from matting is keeping it very short by either learning how to groom the dog yourself or taking them to a groomer often. I always left hair around the mouth, top of the head and around the feet and clipped the rest of the body very short.

Have the dog groomed regularly (every 6-8 weeks).

If you keep it short enough to where he's warm but not to curly, it really helps! We cut our pooch about once a month and it is manageable. Brushing helps too.
