I groom my girls but don't cut the length so I'm no help on that...I Do trim their feet...their ears and their little butt area. When I trim the ears - you trim in an UPWARDS motion along the FLAT part of the ear ...only the Upper 1/3 of the ear - Like you're just tipping the ears

Don't use the trimmer against the edge of their ear because the it WILL cut them ...I usually put my thumb behind the ear I'm trimming and just stay flat against the wide part of the ear. If you do it right you will get a perfect trimmed ear...

The trimmer I use is the Wahl Small Trimmer - I forget the name - The Trimmer Head is 1" wide and perfect for ears...Most Sally's Beauty supple stores have them -

For any other cutting - I use sizzors
