Title: young puppy coat trimming
Post by: KeresleyKate on June 13, 2014, 09:54:21 AM

Hi Arvy is 12 weeks old and has a lovely soft silky coat but its getting a bit curly and thick especially on his legs so I think he could do with a bit of thinning or trimming. I'd also like to trim inside his ears as he has a few tufts that look a bit itchy.  Am I getting a bit carried away doing this so early.  Its been about 10 years since I had to do this to a springer, I have my 20 year old baby scissors ready for the ears but I need a bit of confidence building. Can anyone tell me what other equipment I need and is there some guidelines out there before I start on the wriggly beast.  I must admit I'm was really chuffed and proud of him yesterday when training him with "sit" and "off" helped get grooming done nice and easily.

Many Thanks  Kate

Embarassment.  Just spotted Jane's post listing all the information ;)
