I haven't tried it yet, but am scared to think that I would cut too short. I have taken him to a groomer once for a bath and my vet has also cut his nails during puppy check visits. I plan to keep his hair long so I even bought an electric trimmer for his ears (and even though he shakes like there is no tomorrow I was able to get his ears done myself. I can't tell you how proud of myself I was).
Once when I took him to the groomer for a bath she also shaved the bottom of his feet and around his private area. So I have been thinking that I could probably do all the necessary hair trimming myself. That only leaves the nails and the teeth.
I read the prior posts and noted some said clear nails and some black. Mine has all black nails (I just checked). What does that mean? How would I know how short to clip them?
Yikes, can I be woman enough to do itself? That is the question! With your help maybe I will be successful!
