I trim their ear tips (outer edges) w/a small blunt nosed scissor during their bath. You can see the hair & edge of the ear better when it's wet, easier to trim, try that next time. Just move the hair w/your finger out towards where you want to trim & use your other finger as a guide. Trim the hairs sticking out. |
That's a good idea to trim when the ear hair is wet! I'll try that at her next bath. I actually didn't go very close to her ear when I trimmed it yesterday because I couldn't see the tip of the ear clearly.. so I need to do some touching up.
I see the mistake I made now that you pointed out how you trim. For some reason I didn't think the hair at the base of the ear needed to be kept so I trimmed it along the shape of the ear. My mistake!! Her ears look a little big now lol.
I wanted that little show dog look but I can see now that before I get there it's going to take a lottt of practice. Now that I did this I'm definitely not touching her skirt until I watch some grooming videos. It's about an inch from the ground so I just want to trim it very slightly to freshen the ends.. but I'm not trying to make a mistake on this because THAT took forever to grow!
