Start out by washing and drying her. Fluff her good as you dry. Use a steady hand and a fairly long sharp scissors to trim off the irregular bumps. The longer blades give smoother lines as you trim.
(It get harder to explain!) head stays fluffed. If her beard looks pointy trim that up. Brush downward on her neck, chest, shoulders - to a point on her back a few inches behind her shoulders - all gets brushed downward. All 4 legs get brushed up. Trim to make the front legs like a column. The hair up her legs, thigh, butt and back gets brushed up and forward. Stop when you get to the spot on her back where you brushed down. Getting a picture to look at will help - trim accordingly.
For the butt trim, follow her natural slope to trim it flat. If all else fails, a 45 degree angle from her back and legs is a safe guess! Find her rectum, and trim around from there - carefully!
After Chewie's clip, I am on my 2nd butt trim (just last night!) as it is regrowing. So far, so good. 
Good luck Wyn! |
