I am glad your baby is going to the same groomer he has had before. That will help him feel more secure. A puppy cut will be fine ! I have only taken my Suzi once to a professional groomer and it was over $60. SO I've been trimming Suzi myself. It is really not too difficult. I am no expert, But, I am learning as i go. Suzi is 9 months old, and just yesterday i gave her a trim and bathed her. I then bought a de matter comb and condioner to get some underlying small matts . I like to learn as i go and it is rather fun to !
