Thank you so much for the 3 videos on how to trim a shih tzu. I spend 60.00 every 6 weeks on him alone and I am trying to save money by doing it myself. I am shopping for a grooming table and everything I need to get started. Do you have any recommendations for a clipper? Does your trimmer get hot? It's going to be expensive but I think it will be worth it. We have a Golden Retriever as well. Thanks again for the great videos.

@palomino627 I suggest andis 2 Speed clippers, you can see what I'm talking about in my video "Clippers and Blades"

[MESALINDA52]

What # blade for a longer cu coat? I want 'pant legs' on my lil boy.

[spanielmom93]

@MESALINDA52 The longest actual blade I know of is a 5/8 blade. That will leave it just a bit shorter than an inch. Feel free to watch my clippers and blades video if you would like to see all the blades.

when you said you used 5 blade for thes Shih tzu's body does that mean 5F or 5FC or plain 5? and what is the difference and should I have both? and if i were to use a guard comb is there difference between the metal and plastic and what size should i buy i have seen them for sale $4.99 each attachment comb. and also brand would you recommend and which brand blade do you prefer?

[spanielmom93]

@shell12345678 5F and 5FC are the same thing, a 5 is a skip tooth and I don't recommend anyone use that. The F in 5F means finishing blade, it is safe and leaves a nice finished look to the clip. I prefer the stainless combs by Wahl and if you are a groomer of planning on doing this for an extended period then I suggest getting the whole set, it's like $40-50 but several sizes come with it and you would use those over a 10 blade. hope this helps. :)

oh thank goodness, that dog looks soooooo much better without all that hair. Phew! Great videos, thank you. About to start learning how to give my long haired dog cuts at home, nervous.

Thanks again. I have been watching your shih tzu videos over and over. My groomer gave me lessons before she moved on how my dog was done. I had him done every 4 weeks since he was 5 months old. He is 3 now. She took videos of him, sometimes he slept during his groom. SHe told me always use a 30 blade under my stainless combs, so I have one ordered. I need thinning shears, which I am ordering tomorrow, but I am psyched to make my dog look good.

@tjsmomster97 - I have just graduated from 2 dog grooming schools and have been doing some hands on. However, I lack confidence and am having problems with feet and heads. The groomer I am working with scissors the head (top knot) and uses mouse on all dogs' heads. I think I need to use the clippers in the beginning. The scissoring I'm not getting right now and get finish out a dog. Any suggestions?

I am so happy I found your channel! I have two Shih tzus and it gets quite expensive to groom them.  They are boys and LOVE being outside so they get dirty and messy. I have bought three sets of clippers Wahl, and two other brands.. Human clippers. I have no luck with these. They won't cut the hair for some reason? Can you give me any suggestions? Thanks so much for taking the time to do this!!

at what age can you groom your shihtzu? how do you groom a surper short hair shihtzu?

[studentinlearning]

what a great teacher. 

[ricksteves07]

Thank you so much for these videos. I have a one that is 1/2 Shih tzu and 1/2 Bichon Frise (Zuchon/Teddy Bear dog). Is there anything special that I need to know about this particular coat, being the Bichon's coat is curlier underneath. Her coat always ends up looking like a "mop" in a week or so after grooming. lol

[hannah6months09]

I will never let you shave my shihtzu that short and the face was not round

[tjsmomster97]

Love the tutorials. I am a groomer in training,doing a home study program and your videos are very helpful and even better than my instructional dvds in some aspects. One question, what are your recommendations on handling dogs that are extremely squirmy? I seem to be getting a lot of calls from people with dogs that either haven't been groomed much before or are "problem pups", probably due to the fact I'm grooming for free to gain experience. Any advice would help!

Thanks in advance :)
