Clipping & Trimming
• Place the flat side of the blade against the
body of the dog and move the clippers
through the hair following the lay of the
coat. To ensure you achieve an even finish,
always clip in the direction of the hair
growth.
• When clipping or trimming areas with
folds or wrinkles of skin, use your spare
hand to stretch the skin to prevent the
blades cutting or catching the skin.
• Oil your clipper blades before you start and
regularly remove clipped hair and re-oil as
you continue clipping.
• Groom the dog regularly for short periods
of time and reward the dog with positive
reinforcement.
TIP: Turn the clippers or trimmers on before putting them close to
the dog to reduce any stress and de-sensitise.
TIP: If you wish to reduce the length of hair left on your dog, you
can clip against the lay of the coat, but take care not to catch
the skin between the blades.
TIP: Ensure the coat is clean, dry and brushed through before you
begin clipping.
