Dog Grooming : How to Groom a Lhasa Apso

Grooming a Lhasa apso requires leaving the dog's head fur longer, shaving between the nose, trimming the ears bluntly and shaving the belly and potty path with a number 10 blade. Keep the feet of a Lhasa apso round, and shave between the pads with instructions from a professional dog groomer in this free video on grooming dogs.

Thanks.......... I've been trying to figure out how to groom my Lhasa Apso for some time. The #10 cut is helpful information. My Oldest Lhasa Apso is the problem. He is 12 years old, going blind, and tends to resist any attempt to trim around his nose.

Also, I'm not sure how to cut his hair, but I like it close to keep him cool in the summer, and require less frequent grooming...

Thank you for the nice video.

to all of those saying shes bad with the dog.. you must learn that lhasa apso are drama kinds/queens, they exagerate to alot.. i know because i have one and he likes to do a tantrum to alot and the minute he dislikes something and not even touching him he starts shaking and we've had him with a puppy and treat him with nothing but love.

@eHow ~ Sadly, when he turned 16 y/o. The Vet had to put him down :( .... Said he had heart murmer, dementia, and very confused. He was up night making sounds of being in pain and distress. Sorry to have lost my good friend. I will miss him forever....

Agree with some of what you say.

how long have you been grooming? trimming the inside of their ears is much more humane... have spoken to several vets and groomers alike that agree to trim hair out ... the dogs need some hair to protect their ears from foreign matter getting into the canal. Drying the ears with cotton ball after bath helps with excess moisture which is one of the main catalysts for infection.
