Taking dogs to the groomers can get really
expensive. However, there are now many different doggy hair styles that people
can give their dogs themselves. Dogs are bathed, dried, and they often get a
new haircut when they go to the groomers. All of this can be done at home now
that there are simple tips as well as a description of the kind of tools that
people will need to be able to do these haircuts.
Puppy Cut
The puppy cut is easy to maintain, and it is also
pretty simple to do. This kind of trim can be done on almost every type of
breed, and it does not take a lot of effort to get it done. It can be done with
just a dog brush and pair of grooming scissors, but it is done a little easier
using some dog grooming clippers with the number 30 clipper blade. The dog’s
hair should be brushed up to have better access to cut the fur, and the clippers
should be used following the way the dog’s hair lays. People can keep an inch
of fur on their dogs, but they can also leave more than an inch. It is
basically the kind of doggy fashion that makes the fur on the dog all the same
length.
Lamb Trim
The lamb trim is the kind of doggy fashion that
gives the dog more variety and texture. It can be done on basically any
long-haired breed of dog big or small, and it is not too difficult to do. To do
this cut, people will need a dog brush, a dog comb, dog grooming scissors, dog grooming
clippers, and clipper blades. For this kind of cut, the number 7 clipper blade
is used on the back of the dog from the top of the neck down, the number 30
clipper blade for the legs and the belly, and the scissors for however the
owner wants the head of the dog to be. The dog grooming clippers should be used
going with the growth of the hair rather than going the opposite way that the
hair is growing.
Teddy Bear Head
The teddy bear head cut is the kind of doggy fashion that makes them look as if
they have a round head. It can be done on most small dogs, but a Shitzu is an
example of the kind of dog that this cut works well on. To do this kind of haircut,
people need a pair of dog grooming scissors, a pair of thinning sheers, and a
dog brush or comb. The hair of the dog needs to be brushed down over the dog’s
eyes, then the hair covering the eyes are cut straight across at the top of the
nose. Then the dog’s head needs to be pointed up, the ears need to be held
back, the hair on the sides need to be brushed down on each side, and the hair
is then cut with the scissors going down towards the ear. The next thing to
work on is the areas many people call the dog’s “mustache”. The dog’s head
needs to be pointed down, and the hair on each side of the dog’s face below the
nose needs to be cut close to the dog so that the mustache look is gone. Then
the dog’s “beard” needs to be trimmed closer to the dog’s body so that the
bearded look is gone. The last thing to do is to brush all the hair out again
and use the sheers to thin out any hair that is sticking out, and to cut any
stray hairs that are still long.
