Prob been asked before!! But how does anyone groom a long tail? My last cocker had a docked one and now bella's is long and I like it!. I just don't know which is the best way to do it. At the moment I have shaved the top as her hair grows and curls round. Next I have thinned the sides down to stop more curl over and then sort of trimmed and shaped towards the base but have had to shave about 3 inches all round near the base as that gets wee'd on or dragged in her wee's?!!! Is there a better way?? One of the other concerns is when she goes in to kennels she tends to sit outside and that " lovely" tail must soak up any wee that's been done!!!
