[CesarTheGreat]

I have been trimming Cesar myself for the last 8 months or so. I was paying a groomer to do it for a while but I like to keep his coat really short in the summer and his hair seems to grow very fast, where I am trimming him every 2-3 weeks.

I bought a regular trimmer and he will let me do his body (back and sides) but once I come up to his neck area he gets very upset and starts biting at the trimmer. He also won't let me do any of his legs with the trimmer, he pulls them away. I can do a little of the back legs but the front legs - no way. He isn't having it.

I muzzle his face and try to do the legs but he just goes nuts.

When I would take him to the groomer, they would have two girls. They'd muzzle him, tie him to the post, and one girl would hold him still while the other trimmed him.

I think it's the sound and vibration of the trimmer that freaks him out. Is there anything out there that I can just put over him and squeeze that will trim him, aside from scissors? Currently I am using scissors to do his ears, head, and legs.

I don't like doing this because I have to do it in sessions. He will be very sweet and patient for the first 15 minutes but it takes so long to do it with scissors, he starts to get ancy and starts moving around.

How to do this?

BTW, I was paying $60 per session to have him groomed which is why when doing it every 3 weeks or so I decided to try it myself. It was just too expensive.
