Do I do the same to try and train her top knot to stay out of her eyes (lay to the side out of the eyes)? She fights putting it up and always manages to take out the clips, bows or bands. I took her to the groomer only once and paid $100 for them to chop her hair all up and figured I could do a bad job for free and haven't gone back. |
Glad to hear things are working out. Yes, do the same for the top knot.

They ended up cutting her hair on the body and her top knot went goodbye. Since then I've been doing it myself and learning as I go. I admit she isn't perfect and has sometimes even looked hilarious. lol I'm currently trying the visor cut but I am failing at that I do believe. LOL Perhaps I'll go looking for a new groomer to try out? Can you grow out the body but have the legs kept in a short cut? Her hair likes to tangle the most on her legs so I like it kept short there. |
I would continue working on home grooming. It is a constant learning process.
You can cut and trim however you like. Make sure her legs get a little extra conditioner and use a leg and mustache comb. Many people shave underneath where it tends to tangle more.
My difficulty with trimming above the eyes is partly how my boys ended up with long hair, lol.
