Pet Grooming Giant Schnauzer head

quick example of grooming the head on a Giant Schnauzer. Our model on this day is Champion "Grace".
Be sure to use tools you are proficient with before attempting any use as shown. This was a very quick demo, attention was not paid to cowlics in the clipping of neck. Use thinners to blend this area for a smooth transition.

I'm considering a Giant but have never owned a nonshedding dog that needs to be clipped before. are the eyebrows and beard being left longer purely for fashion or is there some other reason for it? Personally Id want my dogs hair cut to an even length everywhere?

@AAAmar It is actually simply style. I am a pet groomer and a few clients with giants ask me to shave brows and beard off for sanitary reasons and they are much happier with them being easier to keep clean.

She's crazy? why she put a scissors in the ears????? she totally Crazy

@poxiihontiiz I use the scissors for the ear hair that is at the surface. This hair is very sensitive to pulling and rooted much differently than in the canal. Giant ear canals are large enough I usually use ear power and pull the internal hair with my fingers.

Great video! As a fellow giant owner, (and a few other dogs thrown in :), i found this to be very helpful. I do all my own grooming and am self taught but believe you can always learn something new. I cheat a lot by using my thining sheers on the eye brows :)

@hb1010190 thank Jim! I've been grooming for over 30 years and am always learning something new! I too use thinners now and then on eyebrows. They are the "forgiving" tool

I used Laube for 15 yrs but for the past 10 years only use Andis. Several models, AG, super 2 speed, etc, any and all Professional models of Andis pet clippers have been put to hard use in my grooming shop.
