| Bad Clippers My husband and i tried to give our little guy a haircut last night. It turned out okay i guess. I think we got him a little short and uneven. He was being really good when i did he back and butt but as soon as i got the clippers past his shoulders he began to growl and bark at the clippers and try to bite them so we finished the job with scissors. I was wondering if you think the noise of clippers might of been hurting his ears. If so does anyone know where I can get some that are quieter. The ones i use we got at walmart. The are for people haircuts and have adjustable length attachments.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I use Wahl clippers and love them - we have the large one for humans - and small ones for their ears - also - I use a ladies personal trimmer for my girls faces and under their eyes - NO NOISE at all and it gently trims and is very easy to use - they don't take off clumps - After the BAD groomings my girls had - I decided to do it myself and save the 75 bucks - I couldn't do worse than what I paid for that's for sure.... so for beginners like me - they're very easy to use and quiet for the girls.... Heres the pics - I got these at Sally's Beauty - all under 20 bucks 1st for ears and under and around feet & butts 2nd & 3rd I use on faces...under eyes and any stray hairs on face When I started grooming Cheri who was very young when I began doing this myself - I used a towel to wrap her in while I worked on her feet and ears to make her feel more secure and it really helped with wiggling till she got used to the clippers - I would just do a little one day.....then a little another day ...after a few times - they'll realize it won't hurt them..

| Can you hurt them with clippers? Will they cut skin? I am scared to death of hurting Shelby. I tried trimming her ears this week and she doesn't seem afraid, just annoyed. I am the one that is afraid. |

| Shelbysmom, We all have probably gained more from our loving puppies than they ever have from us! I always used scissors to trim along the edge of the ears and like Villette says I just use the trimmers on the flat area.

This is how I do Mollie's as well. If I don't keep the hair cut close on her ears they lay completely down which dosen't bother me. But, I think she looks better without all of the hair weighing her ears down. I'm posting 2 different pictures before & after. Let me know what you think. | |
