??? On Grooming Clippers - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I just received the Wahl "Peanut" clipper today and am hoping that I will be able to groom my baby myself. I did just clip her ears last night with scissors (which took forever) I have a few ????? How in the world do you get them to sit still long enough to clip them ??? Also would like to know, if I want to trim up her bottom...what size blade would I use..(I have 1/4,
1/8, 3/8 and 1/2.....I am so clueless as to what size I would use without causing her any razorburn or discomfort....any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am not too sure on the Whal size, but I know that a #!0 is used for the potty areas with oster.

to get her to stay still.. Layla goes on a grooming table and grandma holds her still

when i want to trim up her paws i just flip her on her back on the floor and she stays! for the bum area... be careful to not actually TOUCH the skin on her bum, just attempt to graze the hair, but avoid the skin. I would put a comb clip over it to use as a guard againt the skin.
