Easiest way to do this is pick up their front legs so they are standing on their rear and clip from sanitary straight up the belly to the chest (usually you go with the direction of growth so that would be from chest to sanitary, but to make it shorter you want to go in reverse). |
lol, I was doing the reverse thing on the top hair until I took a mini grooming course and was told that I was doing it wrong. lol I still do it this way because, as you said, it clips shorter.
They are just about naked in the summertime, lol, it's just so much easier on them and to see if any ticks get on them.
