How to groom your Shih Tzu dog in a short shaved body & fluffy legs hairstyle

I have had a few requests on describing how I do the haircut that I often use with my tiny Shih Tzus. It is sometimes referred to as the lamb cut or Cocker style haircut with a teddy bear face, fluffy legs, & long tail. The top knot can be left long or trimmed short for the look your wanting with your dog. I am by no means a professional groomer & everything that I am showing in this video are what I have learned with trial & error. Thanks for watching Fairy Tail Shih Tzu video & happy grooming! :)

@lilo111105 Thank you for your input. At this point I'll try just about anything short of sedation, lol. I'm the dog's second owner so maybe a little patience and time... If you read my other reply you'll understand my situation better.

@TheSleverton Like I said, I love this dog but I'm finding out this is not a breed for dog owners on a budget. As much as it saddens me, I'm considering an offer from a lady friend to take her.

@TheSleverton Thank you for your reply. I'll elaborate a bit on my 'Tzu, Betty Boop. She was my recently deceased mother's dog for 11 years which I'm now caring for. She was regularly groomed and I have continued taking her in tho probably not quite as regularly ( about once every 2-3 months ) She also has yeast-related skin itching-biting problems which I have addressed with vet visits, treatments, special shampoos, grain free diet - Wellness feed ), the works.

@Laverdadduele1 My dog has been groomed monthly since he was a puppy. My groomer says he just sleeps while she's doing him. SHe uses a dremel tool with a grinding stone to do the nails. I have bought my own and do all my dogs now. It works so much better than clipping. OUr vet office had her show them how she does it. It's important to take them to the groomer monthly even if they don't need it to keep them used to it.
