Oh thank you for your responses! Thank you MM for the link. I will print that and take it to the groomer next time. I knew there had to be a pattern that should be followed.
I probably should get clippers and learn to groom myself. Six of the seven little dogs we have require grooming. They don't go every month, of course, or I'd go broke! But they go often enough to keep the shape of their cut.
They go often enough that the hair is kept plucked out of their ears pretty good. The one I have the most trouble with is my ShihTzu and he really doesn't like me to do it so it can be challenging!
