| It might be a good idea for you to make an appointment with a groomer that will let you stay and maybe you can learn how to do a better job. It is a lot of fun to watch a professonal work. |

| i just did lexi's legs, looks alittle choppy, but its better than trying to get those matts out of her legs.. it really hurts her... i used a sissor and cut on an angle.. looks good to me. feels good to her.. no more tangles...

| I would like to learn to do them myself and have them still look decent.When I take them both in it is around 80 bucks.It would be nice to learn and save that 80 bucks for something else. |

| Yep, I agree! Practice makes perfect! It will, grow back! I groom the girls myself and I'm not sure what the heck I'm doing, but I always give it my best shot! |

| I just started doing my own grooming, too. Yep, they can look a bit silly while we're learning, can't they? I bought a good quality clipper and attachments and different blades. I bought oil and coolant and all the rest that makes it a bit easier. I have the Wahl peanut in pink for the tiny places |

| Ok am going to give this a shot..I am just learning to groom and have had no hands on training yet Use a 10# or 15# blade on stomach, retcal, corner of eyes, pads of feet, be very careful under the thigh area very thin skin FEET.. you scissors..keep feet flat on table and cut in around there feet. keep cover on blade if you are not sure. better to cut long than to short where did you find the peanut clippers?

Mine is the Andis AGC Super2 - Professional Speed Clipper. I really like it a lot. The cheap ones just make it harder, I think. At least that's what I found. omega | |
