No I am not a groomer. Just do it myself as it really is not that hard. I just have a pair of walmart wahl clippers and a good scissors. With having three it is much cheaper for me to do myself. The clippers come with different lenghts that you attach to the clippers. I pick one and just start shaving my dogs sit very well for me. But have been doing it since they where pups. Then I did buy a groomer scissors for around eyes they have a blunt end. But I like just a small scissors almost better. And I use them to trim around ears and eyes.
Make sure they are combed put and no knots as the clippers would pull on the hair and hurt them. When my dogs are long I comb often so they do not mat.
Good luck and if you have any questions. I would be glad to answer them

I'm so scared to clip to close the quick of the nail....and i don't think I have what it takes to handle anal glad maintenance. But...I would save major bucks if I could learn how to do it myself.

I make my daughter do the nails. She worked with a vet for a few years. And as far as anal glands my dogs do not have any problems with that

Thanks for the tips!! i bought a grooming kit from amazon and a folding grooming arm as well, hopefully that would help me keep my babies still... i have 2 babies and i am about to change jobs and i wont be able to afford almost 100 a month for haircuts alone..

i'll let you know how my experiment goes!!

Just take your time with them make it a great experience. I just set mine on a card table. Have not had to use a leash just put there collar on and if they move hold it for a second. Two of them I do not even need the collar. You will do great.

Thanks!
I do have a groomer.
She charges me $50 per dog.
It would be great to learn to do it all by myself.
Mickey is a really good boy when I give him baths and brush out.
I think I could groom them myself if I knew the right shaver blade numbers and had a little instruction

Looks good and they look cool for summer

[jmdt]

I have 4 so it could become quite costly. I do the same thing. I shave them down for the summer. I do it on a table in the backyard because the hair just gets all over the place. They are so good and dont mind at all. My Coco gets tired and just lays down. he he. He is such an old man!!

[Baby Teddy]

How stinkin' cute are they?! You did a wonderful job!!
