I started with a pair of very small scissors and nail clippers. I learned to groom by using a scissor technique,then purchased shears/clippers. Mine are made by Wahl and I have several combs to attach for different depths for the hair. Because Mina's face is kept long,I also own some time hair clips,alligator style to clip her longer hair out of the way and that part of her gets scissored still. I trimmed a little here,a little there instead of jumping in with both feet. My dogs have learned to trust me and Ive learned to trust my judgment on when and how much to cut. Good luck! |
