I have it pinned right now but that seems really impractical since it keeps falling out while she plays, and hates having me mess with it so I end up having to fight her. I've never had a dog with long hair before, so I'm totally green! I feel like it might be really bothering her eyes right now, and she has been waking up with boogers and keeping a wet face since they water all day. There's gotta be a better way to keep it from bothering them right? This is what length it's at now and how I'm keeping it out of her eyes. |
Cute puppy! Alright my advice is, where you have the clip is incorrect. See how you have clipped the hair from her upper nose up towards her eyebrows? That hair you want to train down and away from the eyes. You can use some Vaseline to "stick" it down. The hair clip or band is usually used above the eyebrows for that hair that can come down into the eyes.
Also what is helpfull is to get a moustache comb to help comb out that small area over bridge of the nose. Believe with a few wks of training that hair will begin to naturally fall down and away from the eyes. The moustache comb is a small maybe (4") long comb which you can manipulate quite easily in those small spaces
