I bought a brand new pair of Oster clippers for grooming my Yorkie girl. I've had a groomer cut her in a lamb cut, short around the body. It's a couple months grown out and I need to trim it up.

I used a 1/2" comb. But I'm a little confused because when I run the comb through her fur, most the time nothing is cut. The fur just slips through the comb and misses the clipper. It's not because her fur is shorter than the comb. I've tried going with the lay of the fur and against the lay of the fur. I watched the instructional video that came with the clippers and I have the blade on the shortest setting and have the comb on correctly.

I had to kind of pull the fur toward the blade to get it to cut. The fur is just so fine and silky it slips out of the comb without cutting. What am I doing wrong?

After going over and over it did eventually cut most of it, but it's not very even. There's still lots of longer pieces that didn't get cut.

This was a $90 Oster dog-grooming clipper. I had better luck with a $20 human hair clipper I used once on her last year. How do you get it cut better?
