With it, except for on the face. There you will want to shave against.

No. Fur composition is determined by genetics. If you shave it, it may grow out "softer" at first.. but it will go back to the way it was before. However, if you put your dog through oncology treatments (radiology/chemo therapy) the fur may change, just like in people.

What do you do if you groom a dog?

It's pretty much all about the fur. You can wash it, cut it, condition it, even dye it (although that is pretty exotic for dogs) or anything else that you might do with a person's hair. Dogs also need to have their toenails clipped. You also need to brush it so it wont be all knoted up then you have to shave them because they are matted.

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.
