I have been using clippers on my dogs and have not cut them and I am a total amateur. In my opinion a professional groomer should be able to work with a matted dog and not cut them. When I find a matt, I use scissors, but I put a wedge a comb between the skin and the matt first and use tiny sharp scissors. It has worked really well for me.
