| Grooming Help =( So I have a lot of questions about grooming... 1. I was thinking of grooming Abby myself, but I want to know how difficult it is. Abby lets me brush her, bathe her, blow dry her, and sometimes successfully trim her nails. So I know that would't be a problem, but I'm scared of messing up.. Also what is the best brand on clippers for beginners?? 2. Is it actually easier to just take her to a proffessional? I don't want to mess up and have her looking ...well you know... 3. Her hair and skin seems to be a little dry so what is the best conditioner to keep her hair and skin hydrated between baths(every 4 weeks) ? Thanks everyone!!!

| I recently bought a clipper, I think it's a Wahl and I got it at Walmart for like $30. My plans are just to keep her feet trimmed (to make it easier to cut her nails) and the occasional trim. Bella gets so scruffy looking. I've tried having my husband hold her and she freaks out. So the last time I set her on the counter and leashed her up like they do at the groomers. Bella wasn't thrilled but I was able to trim her and she didn't get hurt. I've no clue on the different lengths for the clippers. I did an allright job but I'm no dog groomer for sure. My advice is to go slow, baby steps. You can always take more off but you can't grow back a bald spot right away. I'll probably take Bella to the groomer next time. They know what they're doing and Bella won't be laughed at at the dog park.
