my hairy hairless has a lot of facial hair. I shaved the face like you normally would but I left the crest. The problem is that it hangs over his eyes. What should I do? Trim it back? Would that look dumb? Or should I just let it grow out long?

hello-we got ours from the animal shelter and didnt know a thing about him, so I got him used to the sound and feel with a vibrating mobile phone and took him to the groomers to play. at the second visit he was ready-everything, but the face. 3 month later we groom him at home and he seems to like it :) holds his lil face up and loves to be *pretty*

@beth10zero Hi there, congrats on the new little one. I would suggest that you and your puppy learn together. :-) Make sure you get a good trimmer. My new favorite is the Wahl Chromini. It stays very cool and doesn't knick. What I want to write is long so here comes a couple of more posts....

Hopefully your puppy's breeder has been getting them used to grooming so you won't have to have a lot of work. But one trick I have learned is to glob some peanut butter on something and let the puppy lick it while you shave. It will save you a lot of wrestling if they are still getting used to trimmers. if they are scared of the trimmers, take time to let them get used to the sound and feel of them without actually using them.

@beth10zero . Hold them near the puppy while they are on and give the puppy lots of praise and treats. I would even touch them with the trimmers while they are on just so they can adjust.
For you, try shaved the less than intimidating areas first, like the muzzle and neck, away from the lips and eyes until you get more comfortable with the trimmers. Just make sure you go lightly over the skin and pull the lose skin tight! Good luck!

Hello,
Congrats on your new baby. You should start grooming as soon as you can so that your puppy is used to being groomed. Sometimes they are scared of the trimmers and it takes some work to get them used to them. Just be patient and don't give in! Nope, it does not bother them not having whiskers.
