I've been anxiously waiting for your answers. Cupcake is 4 months old today and puts up with me trimming her (but) and has had 3 baths. She hates the dryer so much that I will not be taking her to my Sacramento groomer because they use the cage dryers and I am afraid to put her through the stress. She has a fit
and runs when I turn on the clippers. Then my 14 year old toy poodle runs over to be groomed. He loves it. I am just slowly turning on the shears so she'll get used to the sound. I would love to give her a summer haircut and have thought about just giving her a scissor cut (while she is sleeping) for now. So any advice you recieve would be helpful to me too.
