A professional dog groomer has revealed the breed that is the least agreeable to work with. He said that the animals were motion machines and many pet owners wanted a miracle when it came to training them.

Reddit user Synaxis is a dog groomer who has interacted with several breeds of all shapes and sizes. They explained in a post the one that sticks out as not pleasant to work with. The one that takes the top spot is doodles.

A doodle dog is when a miniature poodle, standard Poodle, or toy poodle mixes with another dog breed.

They also said that they never give in to pressure and rarely relax.

Another unfortunate habit he's seen at their job has to do with their maintenance. They said that it is "not uncommon" for them to come in at over a year old having never been groomed in their lives.

Sometimes their hair is matted to their skin, she told the Sun, and their owner often expects a miracle that can't be done that late in the process. Several Redditors related to the doodle comment.

"Oh, the doodles. They're so popular with the soccer mom crowd and no one ever has time to train them properly," one wrote. Reddit user Floofer-Roofer also called doodles a problematic pooch that had "high energy and no intelligence.Another breed they suggested was Siberian huskies, even though they own one."

I know at least three of the people I work with would rather never have to deal with Siberian Huskies and think they are bats**t insane," they explained. The Reddit user understood why they felt that way and agreed that the others were not "entirely wrong.
