| How to trim hair out of their eyes? I'm not really a fan of the top knot (or the maintenance). What is the best way to trim the hair out of their eyes? Every time I trim it, it looks odd. Any advice?

| sorry to see no one answered you yet. I too don't like to hair in the eyes what I do is comb the hair down around the muzzle then the hair going up the bridge to the top knot I cut I only cut about an inch back the other long hair in the top knot does not fall over it. you can be as creative as you want you can frame the face in a circular cut or just straight across. sorry I don't have pics yet on my new pc:hope this helps

| Use blunt tipped scissors and trim in an inverted-v shape. Don't go too far down the bridge of the nose, or it will look funny. It's hard to explain without being able to show you. Sometimes I shave it with a #10 blade.

| I also use blunt tip scissors and trim as close to his eye as I feel comfortable, and then I use clippers down the top of his nose so its even all the way down. After baths I also use a small tooth comb to coax the hairs away from his eyes.
