Today I was taking my 2 month old Shih Tzu, Gizmo, a shower and I realized that he had LONG eyelashes should I trim them?

[spanielmom93]

@95crackers Yes you should, that is a good question. Dogs who have long eyelashes are cute but any hair that can get into the eye and cause irritation or even damage to the surface of the eye should be trimmed away. ;)

You should have trimmed those ears a little if you where trying to make it more proportional. From a Dog Groomer.

[spanielmom93]

@bitchoff1 Well, FYI I wasn't done with the dog, I was simply showing how to round the face... AND some people LOVE long ear fringe on Shih Tzu and I was trying to help this little shelter boy find a home so excuse me if it isn't JUST like you do it. ;) Thanks anyway... oh and I believe the word you are thinking of was "proportionATE" :)

is it ok to trim the facial area of my daughter.. she's 3 months old.. her eyes was completely covered

[spanielmom93]

@pritykazy If by daughter you mean your dog then yes. ;) The younger you start trimming your dog the better, the sooner they will be used to it and accept and even enjoy being groomed. ;) Just be careful to make it a pleasent experience for her. If she fights you or gets scared just take it slowly and give her lots of praise and even a few treats if necessary. :) Happy grooming!

@spanielmom93 dont let that mess bother you I am a professional groomer as well and "regular" people just dont know. you have to be in control when grooming or yo will be on the table and the dog will be grooming you LOL!!! just kidding but like i said regular people think when you are being firm that you are bring mean and thats not true. u were safe and nice .

Awesome job! That little guy is so precious and I sure hope he found a Wonderful new home! My little guy is Very difficult to handle & he's 4yrs old! Not sure how it all got this way but I've always paid to groom him until recently when my groomer began to let her daughter groom my dog which would've been ok if she'd only checked to make sure she was doing ok & made sure I was ok with it! Now I'm trying to figure out how to do it & not make him look bad like he DOES right NOW! Ugh! Thnx! :)

Thank you for your video. I enjoy watching other groomers work to get tips and ideas for my own grooming. I also love hearing that we all have the same dialogue with dogs....hey, no, uh uh, good boy, good girl, hey, stay, sit etc etc....some days I forget how to talk to people! lol

@spanielmom93 - I just graduated from 2 dog grooming schools on line. I have been doing some hands on to get some experience. The problem is the groomer I work with doesn't really work with me to explain a lot of things to me. I am a perfectionist, and have to have things correct. She scissors the top knot on all dogs and I need to ( I think) use clippers to make it easier especially in the beginning. I also have a hard time with the feet. Any suggestion? You are great.

Thanks for this! Save me a lot of money and I appreciate you showing how to do it. Great Job!

my family has a shihtzu lhasa apso mix and my dad calls her lhasa shit

[bluesbeach]

As people consider grooming their own dogs, I think it would be "VERY ADVISABLE"

to use scissors that are NOT so sharp pointed OR just use the trimmer.

What say you?
