Teddy Bear Haircut on a Cute Fluffy Dog
Timecodes:
today I'm going to teach you how to
perform the teddy bear haircut on a cute
and fluffy dog a teddy bear trim is the
most preferred haircut that is often
given to most mixed breed dogs as well
as purebred dogs to give them a cute
fluffy appearance that is similar to
that of a teddy bear the haircut
involves cutting the dog's fur to a
uniform length all over the body
including the face the legs and the tail
and rounding off the edges to create a
soft plush look the fur may also be
trimmed around the face to give the dog
more defined facial features such as
eyebrows and a muzzle in addition to
making the dog look cute and cuddly the
teddy bear trim can also be easier to
maintain than longer haircuts as it
often requires less grooming and
brushing some people refer to the teddy
bear trim as a puppy cut or a lamb cut
in this video tutorial you will learn
the exact grooming methods to execute
the teddy bear trim and you might
consider this haircut for your purebred
dog it gives them a cute playful
appearance that is suitable for a
variety of occasions and settings if you
want to give your purebred or mixed
breed a new look the teddy bear trim is
definitely worth considering let me show
you how it's done
[Music]
it starts with the coat being thoroughly
cleaned conditioned and completely free
of mats I'll be using a half inch guard
comb number one size made by wall over a
number 30 blade and I'm using my wall
km10 corded Clipper one of the nice
things about choosing the teddy bear
trim is that you can adjust the length
if you want your dog's length to be
longer than a half inch you can go with
a three-quarter or a 5 8 you have that
flexibility with this choice of trim so
for our first step of the teddy bear
trim we are going to perform all Clipper
work so I am going to perform all the
Clipper work on sweet Tea's body and
legs because I'm using a half inch for
that I will be switching to a larger
guard comb on the head and we'll get
there in a minute our Clipper work is
going to be performed with the lay of
the coat the lay of the coat is the
direction the coat Falls naturally so
you will go over your dog's entire body
starting behind the head at the occiput
down the chest the throat the legs all
done with your body blade of choice
which we are using a half inch guard
comb in this situation when performing
your Clipper work I want you to make
about three passes over an area but not
over and over again I want you to make a
pass make another pass beside that make
another pass with your Clipper beside
that and then go back over that area
just as you just did about three times
to produce smooth Clipper work and I
really want you to pay attention to what
my other hand is always doing when i'm
performing Clipper work or scissor work
my other hand is kind of allowing me to
position the dog stretch out the dog in
order to get good results with my
Clipper work and you'll need to apply
enough pressure on your Clipper blade to
roll the skinning coat in front of the
cutting area at times you'll need to
position your dog in kind of weird
positions but as long as you consider
their comfort it will be fine for your
dog so you need to position them in
different ways in order to perform the
work you need to perform form there are
areas on your dog where their skin is
very loose like around the flank here
and also in their armpits in front of
the earlobes they have some loose skin
so you need to be cautious of those
areas because Clippers can injure a dog
slightly if you're not careful now I'm
sure at this point in the video you are
saying yes I struggle with legs and feet
especially with Clipper work and scissor
work I got you covered in this video
take your time in those areas but
definitely watch what my other hand is
doing my other hand is helping me
position the dog so that I can get nice
Clipper work results especially on those
legs those feet those areas people
struggle with that I get it I did too
but I gotta tell you the best way to
overcome those areas that you struggle
with is definitely to continue on you'll
improve with every groom trust me you'll
learn something with every grooming
session that you perform I definitely
left a lot of clipper work in this demo
for you guys just just to watch it I
learned best by watching so I left a lot
of clipper work in this demo for you so
that you can watch me you can watch what
I'm doing in those troubled areas that
you're struggling with because I
struggled with those areas too if you
have to re-watch a lot of this footage
it's here for you I didn't cut a lot of
it out because I wanted you to see it I
created a playlist on my channel called
Puppy grooming basics for the beginner
this would be a great playlist for you
to binge watch I'm following this little
toy Schnauzer puppy through her lifetime
of grooming starting from the very first
groom and I encourage you to subscribe
to this YouTube channel go groomer
because I create content like this for
you all the time oh and maybe smash the
like button okay back to sweet tea so
notice I'm lifting her ears out of the
way sometimes you want to tilt their
nose down a little so that you can get a
nice smooth clip down the back of the
neck behind the ear and in the throat
area under the chin we're going to feel
where your dog's jaw bone is so that
we're just following the Clipper work
along the dog's jaw bone tilting your
dog's nose up we're going to come up
with that half inch blade all the way up
the underside of her jaw and holding the
ears out of the way we can tidy
everything up there behind the ear too
we're switching over to a 5 8 to do the
top skull but it's time to unpack the
blade I get a lot of emails people say
my blade just isn't going through the
coat right if you clean it and you oil
it and you're still having problems as
you're clipping along especially a soft
fine coat like sweet tea has no little
particles are going to get packed in
your blade so you need to unpack them so
that The Cutting Edge can make proper
contact and now we're switching over to
that 5 8 inch guard comb and we're going
to set the top skull everything on top
of sweet Tea's head from top of the ear
to the top of the other ear that's
called The Dome now I'm switching to a
four in one Clipper I want it set to a
10 so it's one click up we're going to
trim the sanitary area which is her
private area and her anus and the pads
of feet I'm going to come up to about as
far as where her belly button is should
be there somewhere around there make one
one little pass like that this is going
to help keep them from getting matted
there it's also going to keep them clean
when they go potty especially if they're
a boy then we're going to hike this
little leg up I'm going to go gently
towards the vulva gently towards the
vulva from the other direction no
pressure at all on this blade
I'm just I'm not even touching her skin
really I'm just kind of grazing It Off
cleaning up around the anus all four
directions
just to keep it clean she has a docked
tail I like to always take the dog tails
with a 10 underneath
to keep all that clean and now we're
going to switch over to a 30. gently
hold up her little back foot we're only
taking off everything that she would be
standing on gently in a v-shape in this
large pad
like that
yes good sweet tea yes
yes
good
v-shape here I'm gonna be using those
kenchy five star I think it's a six inch
Shear that's curved and this is my Jody
Murphy it's another small blending Shear
we're blending in an inverted v-shape
here right in front of the eyes this
keeps the build up at Bay and keeps
their eyes cleaner and they can see
better if you're new to using shears and
blending shears you may just want to go
for a 10 blade in that area and gently
clean out the corner of the eyes now
we're going to set the visor here so I'm
combing everything forward and on a
little bit of a curve C shape angle
coming around the side of the eye I'm
curving that visor back towards the ear
this will give her a happy expression
believe it or not it does make a
difference we're going to round the ears
and shape them right into the the Dome
on the top of her head so that all looks
like one little headpiece for the side
of the head we're going to comb
everything down rounding the hair
towards the ear and following the
jawline all the shapes that we're trying
to create with this groom are round soft
and fluffy for the muzzle we're going to
comb everything down and forward and
we're going to kind of use the nose as
the longest point of the head so we're
going to trim everything back towards
the ear on an angle to shorten up the
length of her muzzle same thing on the
other side of the head using the jaw
line as our shape guide lifting the hair
with your comb and rounding it back
towards the front of the ear continue
rounding up the side of the top skull
and bringing those shapes together we're
rounding this head in we want to see
round and don't forget we're using the
other side that we already finished as
our guide this tells us how to line up
the opposite side of the head just watch
how this all comes together
[Music]
foreign
now we're going to finish the body legs
feet and tail our Clipper work will
leave straggling hairs so now it's time
to tidy everything up keeping the foot
on the table and scissoring around the
bottom of the foot to match the length
of the leg hair because remember we've
set the length of the hair that we want
we're now just tying it together
aligning with our Clipper work for the
tail flatten the tail between your
finger and your thumb and push the hair
out towards the end of the tail so you
can just simply round it and outline it
with your shears if your dog has a full
tail then simply just shape it right
around the base of the tail and let it
plume from there on the side of your
dog's leg where the body hair meets the
leg hair you're going to need to tidy
that up too we're going to create a dome
shape on top of the foot leaving the
same hair length as on the legs
continuously lift the hair with your
comb and scissor off anything that is
sticking out it's that simple we're just
shaping the outline we're definitely
going to need to do some tidying up work
right here around the rear I have my
finger protecting the dog's vulva if she
was an intact male I would be doing the
same thing I'm purposely showing you
different camera angles because I want
you to be taking different looks
different views of your dog as you're
trimming them and not just standing
beside them stand behind them stand in
front of them you'll see different
things that you need to shape in while
we're creating this soft plush outline
on our teddy bear trim round feet round
head soft body even as a beginner I want
you to understand that there is minimal
scissor work to every trim especially
the teddy bear trim move the foot to see
how it bends how the hair will bend and
it'll tell you what you need to trim off
you do need to move your dog around pick
the leg up see what hair pops out bring
the head up bring the head down see how
the hair moves when you move your dog
and this will show you how to outline
your teddy bear trim here's an important
tip for feet I like to keep the foot on
the table as much as possible it
eliminates the chance of me nicking a
dog pad and on the flip side I do have
to pick the leg up when I want to shape
the inner thigh bring it around to the
front of the leg tie it together with
the back of the leg you just have to
move your dog around but try to keep
those feet on the table when you're
trimming them it's safer guys so here's
your homework question have you noticed
all the different ways I hold the dog's
feet their head their body while I'm
trimming it look how I'm holding her
front paw right now have you noticed how
I utilize my other hand it's so
important now I'm going to get sweet tea
down off the table and we're going to
watch her movement I'm going to look at
my work evaluate your work when you get
your dog down off the table maybe you
might have a little more snipping to do
but that's going to tell you when you
watch your dog walk you watch them move
it's going to show you how your work
looks and here's the last cookie of the
video sweet tea is a purebred toy
Schnauzer how about that hey I hope
