| I'm trying to do my own grooming as well. I just went to a beauty supply store and bought a pair of good quality hair scissors. Try to find small ones - they're less dangerous if someone gets the wiggles.

| I was that way as well. I cut Meka myself for the first year because I had heard so many bad grooming stories. I had purchased a dog grooming kit from target for $25.. it came with a how to DVD, great clippers and scissors as well. They also sell scissors seperately in the dog isle.

| I get my scissors from Pet Edge. The Heritage Stilleto scissors are good for just starting out. They are in the $60 range.

| I think I'll check out the grooming package you bought at Target. I'd definetly need a video to help me out.
