I do Sprocket's grooming cause I'm cheap, I can't spend $50, every 4-6 wks, just can't AND the grooming is never what I want! Don't get me wrong, it's not BAD, just not worth $50 bucks! And Sprocket is traumatized for days. I do not use a razor, just scissors, I have a long and a small pair, the ones with the round nose. After the bath, once a month we groom, use treats and praise and love. Sprocket sits on my lap in the bathroom after the bath, I use the hairdryer, and yes at first he didn't like it but now it's OK, we comb and brush, when we're done there we go to the bed w/towel on it, w/scissors & treats and trim the hair. I figure I can screw up his hair cut as good as a pro and it costs nothing, besides dog and I have some quality time and I check him over and we play. I love the smell of clean dog!!
Do it you have nothing to lose, it's fun. You can teach your baby a new trick the one called "show me your belly", he already "knows pretty baby" and "good dog"
. Sorry this post was so long.
