My little girl will be eight months old in a few days and I would like to try my hand at home grooming also. What tools did everyone get to start out with? And , where is the best place to get them? |
I don't try to do it all at once. Some days we do good just getting the tangles out. I use clippers because I did cut Zoey oncewith sissors and she had to have stitches. When I first got the clippers I would lay them on the floor while we were playing, letting them run. They are pretty good now about sitting still. |

- a small grooming table (roughly 30 dollars) - small GOOD quality scissors (25 dollars) - an Andis Clipper (125 dollars.. i think) with two comb lengths- it needs oil and a cleaning solution - and i just bought a dremmel but you don't NEED one fo those i got everything at petedge.com |
Marci.. next time you groom Layla... would you mind making a video??? I have been wanting to cut Kayah's hair myself.. and the body part.. ok I'll figure it out.. it's the face I'm terrifying of even attempting.. and Layla has the same face cut Kayah does.. So if you wouldn't mind... pretty please:D :) |

I groom Miss Ellie and the only thing I use is scissors (cheap ones) and newspaper.:) Her hair is crazy anyway (no part down middle/wavy), so whatever I do to it looks fine.:) The hardest part is her face length but I am not particular about it. She sits on my lap or on newspaper while I groom her. |
I wish i could :rolleyes: but am so paranoid of hurting them i cant get myself to do it ! |

ok here it is http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=115872 Marci really outdid herself and fully explained every little part:thumbup: |
Thanks for all the great info guys, I finally decided to just get er done and i cut Gizmo....man was it easy, he was great, he barely moved, well other than rolling over for a belly rub, but it actually helped. I did a pretty good job for the first time, missed some spots here and there, but hes not really going anywhere in all htis snow, so its ok. He looks so cute though, and im really glad i tried this...especially thanks for all the tips. I was gona try my new baby to get her used to it, but she HATED it...so i just did her bumb as it was getting a bit long under there, so i think she will be a bit harder than my other one, but hopefuly not as bad an experience as the groomers!! Thanks again! |
