Short Trim For Shih Tzu - Pt 1
This is part 1 of three by spanielmom93, in this video she will show you how to do what is called a “Clean face” on a Shih Tzu.
Spanielmon93 is a professional groomer and these are questions asked by her clients :
Q : My shih tzu wont sit still for that he hates the clippers near his face ..any suggestions
A : The only thing I can say is don’t give up, keep on with the repetition and he will eventually get used to it. If you have a mens shaver you can try getting him used to it while you are sitting on the couch relaxing. Just use the back end of the shaver and massage your dog all over including the face, just get him used to the feel and sound of the clipper vibration. Good luck, hope he calms down for you soon.
Q : That’s adorable - you were very gentle with the dog, who seemed almost to enjoy it at times. What kind of blade was it and what kind of clipper? I don’t have a dog, but was considering a shih tzu sometime in the future.
A : Thanks, China does enjoy it! I use Andis two speed clippers and the blade length differ depending on how long you want your dogs coat to be… This hair cut was done with a #5 blade. I will send you a video on blades and clippers.
