How to Cut a Dog's Hair? 🐶 BASIC GROOMING Tutorial
Timecodes:
welcome to this new animal-wised video
where today we're going to show you how
to do
a standard dog haircut as you can see in
this video
it is a process which requires knowledge
and experience so we advise you take
your canine pal to professional
if you are in any way doubtful
[Music]
the first thing we need to do is give
our dog a bath the best day to give your
dog a haircut
[Music]
we will always use a neutral shampoo for
dogs which will not damage their skin
putting special emphasis on areas such
as the legs and muscle
we should keep their ears clear so that
no water gets in either by being very
careful
or using ear plugs
[Music]
we start by drying gently with a tile to
remove excess water
then with the help of a hair dryer and
comb we can dry the hair and remove
knots as we go along
this can be used all over including ears
legs and tail
[Music]
do
[Music]
with this comb we can remove the
toughest knots often found in places
such as the legs
with great care pull out the hair
between the pants so we can have
purchase and trim
separate the pads and cut the fur in
between with small scissors
use a soft and tactful approach
especially if this is the first time
clipping this area for your dog
[Music]
for trimming the edge of the paws use
scissors like these and trim them around
the chip when removing
excess fur
we follow the same procedure for all
four paws alternatively you can set the
paws on the ground and pass the scissors
over the edge to give an even rounded
tip on all four paws
[Music]
we should be careful when passing the
clippers over the dog's underbelly
we should leave this area shaved short
as it becomes the most stained
in this case because the dog is male it
is extra important to prevent a urine
smell
we always have to shave going in the
same direction as the hair
[Music]
when we reach the area halfway down the
belly we need to follow the natural
shape of the fur
we must go down this way otherwise there
will be some lines which do not look
aesthetically pleasing
the clippers are passed over the fur
until the body is finished and the rest
can be done with scissors
[Music]
these are the three types of scissors we
will use we have the curved scissors to
give a shape
then straight scissors for straight cuts
texturizing shears to thin out the fur
to reduce
volume and then the last one to do the
same but much faster
we begin to shape the lower part of the
belly this way with the curved scissors
we can use the texturizing shears over
all parts of the body
[Music]
for the back we lift the tail this way
this is one of the most important areas
as we need to keep it shorter
to maintain better hygiene of the dog
[Music]
we continue with the till which we will
need to have untangled with the comb
since this area often gets the most
knots
[Music]
once we untangle we cut it like this to
give it shape
[Music]
we continue combing so that we can
remove knots from their whole head
[Music]
now we will remove the excess hair from
the eyes starting with the parts which
can get
tear stained
[Music]
now for the snout we need to hold our
dogs so they don't open their mouths
while we cut
but also ensure we don't hurt them
create a rounded shape like this
this is one of the reasons why it is
best to get a specialist who both knows
how to handle the dog
and has the right tools
[Music]
so
[Music]
after trimming we can use the
texturizing shears to make everything
look neat
[Music]
so
[Music]
do
[Music]
[Music]
for the ears we continue with the
texturizing shears
to remove excess hair
on the same air we comb to remove knots
and using the straight scissors we trim
them this way
[Music]
we need to reiterate how the dog should
be as calm as possible
always using positive reinforcement to
ensure they are not stressed
continue shaping the facial area until
it looks like this
[Music]
do
[Music]
and now our standard groom is finished
