Just started to trim Poppy with coat king and thinning scissors (thanks Jane), the difference is amazing, she is beginning to look all grown up.But I am having trouble trimming her whiskers, I am using a small pair of round ended scissors, but she really doesnt like it, any tips?
Thanks

Hi Ange
I trim the whiskers on my boys with my thinning scissors :wink:
-
I use the same scissors that i use for trimming her feet etc. It took a while for her to get used to it. he didn't like the noise or the scissors near her face, but after perservering she doesn't mind at all now ....so I would say just do a bit at a time :D

I just use straight scissors - they don't have round ends (didn't know there was such a thing until a couple of months ago). Morgan didn't like them near his face at first but now he's used to it I just hold his face steady and tell him what a good boy he is and it's no bother. Plus he knows now that there's a treat if he lets me do it - I thought I'd trained him but I'm beginning to see it's the other way round :twisted: - a few gravy bones is a good trade for standing doing nothing :lol:

Thank you for your replies, I will carry ondoing a little at a time and hopefully she will get used to it.
Thanks
Ange
