Shih tzu groom (short pet trim) part 1

This is part 1 of three, in this video I will show you how to do what is called a "Clean face" on a Shih Tzu. I am not refering to bathing I am talking about clipper work. You either love this look or hate it but this is what the owner requests so this is what Mrs. China gets. Hope you enjoy thanks for watching.

@Jessicague315 You can use whatever blade you like on your dog if it's not matted. ;) You can watch my video on clippers and blades and it will show you the different blades. ;)

[spanielmom93]

@bigBrude41 Been a professional dog groomer for almost 9 years now. I guess I just learned on the job and at Atlanta pet fair in Atlanta Georgia. Then I went to another expo in Kansas City MIssouri... that is how I learned to groom all the dogs I groom. :)

Hi there nice video, can u teach me how to clean my Shih Tzu hair around her eye and chin coz my doggy got tear stain and also his chin fur is turning red due to drinking from bowl. Thanks in advance

@nwl213 When bathing a Shih Tzu's face you must be careful not to get soap in their eyes and not to get too much water in their mouths or in their noses. Since those are all right there in a tight little spot, I suggest you bath you Shih Tzu's face with a warm soapy wash cloth, when done scrubbing the wrinkles and the face, rinse the wash cloth and wipe the soap off the dogs face, do this several times and be sure to leave NO soap behind especially pay close attention to the wrinkles!

I live in england but would love you to clip my shih tzu! your so kind them most groomers just drag the clippers along them that's why I do my dog myself, you amazing!!

I think you do an awesome job! I completed grooming school and am working at a salon, but not for pay yet. Your videos have taught me more than anything I have learned so far. It's hard to learn how to do heads especially! I need some words of encouragement, because I don't have confidence in myself and this is so much my passion!!! Keep up the great work!

Love ur video, the cut isn't something I would like on my dog. From the look of China she needs to be cut that short all over since it appears she's a matted up mess! :( I hate it when ppl don't take care of their dogs no matter what the reason it just ticks me off. You're doing a fantastic job though and I'm going to watch the rest of your videos.

step 1: plug in the electric trimmer.

step 2: run the trimmer all over the dog's boday, removing the fur.
