| Question About Shaving Ears Someone said that I need to keep my puppies ears shaved. I purchased a pet clipper kit. It is electric of coarse. I went to shave her ears and she made the loudest YELP! I flipped out and stopped. I did not hurt her, because I tried in on my arm and shaved the hair off of me (to make sure nothing hurt). Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Do all dogs act like that when shaving their ears? Did I use the wrong thing on her to shave her ears? I could not complete the job, because I did not want to scare her or whatever I did. I hope I did not hurt her! Could someone help me, tell me what to do, or what to use to shave her ears? Thank you

| If you didn't hurt her or cut her then I would say you just scared her. Try letting her hear the clippers run close by so she gets used to them before you use them on her. Did you try to shave them by yourself? Do you have someone to hold her while you shave her ears? The regular dog clippers are o.k. to use but I recently found a palm sized WAHL clipper that's silver...it fits in the palm of your hand and it's quiet. I've found it to work better than the big clippers, I feel like I have more control and it shaves the hair closer. Just be careful around the edges of the ear...I only shave the front and back (being careful at the little flap on the side too) and I use a round tip pair of scissors to trim the edges. Keep your fingers on the ear with your fingernail at the edge of the ear so you know where it is...also...if the hair is wet on the edge when you trim you'll be able to see it better. |

| Thanks for this post, I plan on self grooming Parker, and the only thing I have yet to accomplish is trimming his ears! Good tips |
