What are the advantages of having a dog clipper?

The advantages of having a set of dog clippers is that you would not have to pay to give your dog a hair cut. The dog also prefers the clippers then to scissors it wont fuss as much.


How do you groom a bichon dog shave or use scissors?

===Step 1=== Choose your tools carefully. Clippers made for human hair are not appropriate for a dog's dense coat. You need quality clippers and blades made specifically for animal grooming. Human hair clippers will pull the dog's fur and will overheat quickly. ===Step 2=== Secure your dog. A raised table with a collar that you've attached to an overhead support to hold the dog's head up will keep him from trying to jump off. Give him room to move his head a little. Alternatively, you can have an assistant hold his collar up. ===Step 3=== Start with your dog's face. Attach a #10 blade to your clippers and carefully shave long hair between the eyes and ears. Be extremely careful. If the dog is moving around, wait until he calms down. Stay at least 1 inch away from the eyes. ===Step 4=== Raise the dog's legs. Next on the list is the underarm area. Pull the fur and skin taught and shave away from your hand in a smooth motion. Follow by shaving the under-tail area. This is especially helpful in longhaired breeds that tend to get feces stuck in their fur. ===Step 5=== Change to a longer blade and proceed to shave the rest of the dog's body, starting behind the head, working down the neck and then down both sides. Reach underneath and shave the belly carefully, remembering to pull the skin taught and shave away from your hand. ===Step 6=== Continuously check the heat of your clippers while you shave your dog. Thick fur can cause them to overheat quickly and they can burn. If they get warm, shut them off awhile and give both of you a break. Resume when they have cooled down.

Can you cut your Maltese's hair at home?

Yes! Many people groom their own dogs at home. It is safer to use a pair of electric clippers than a pair of scissors. You can get an inexpensive pair at your local discount store. Using a pair of scissors is more dangerous because it is very easy to cut the skin. Clipping the Maltese is easy: Clipping the Maltese *well* is harder. It will take practice and care to do a professional job. If you just want to keep the hair short for ease of care, one of the guides that comes with the clippers will make it easy. Just be sure to start slow and make sure you don't hurt or scare the dog. Once the dog gets used to the clippers, you can groom it quickly and easily.
