How to Cut a Dog's Hair? 🐶 BASIC GROOMING Tutorial

welcome to this new animal-wised video where today we're going to show you how to do a standard dog haircut as you can see in this video it is a process which requires knowledge and experience so we advise you take your canine pal to professional if you are in any way doubtful [Music] the first thing we need to do is give our dog a bath the best day to give your dog a haircut [Music] we will always use a neutral shampoo for dogs which will not damage their skin putting special emphasis on areas such as the legs and muscle we should keep their ears clear so that no water gets in either by being very careful or using ear plugs [Music] we start by drying gently with a tile to remove excess water then with the help of a hair dryer and comb we can dry the hair and remove knots as we go along this can be used all over including ears legs and tail [Music] do [Music] with this comb we can remove the toughest knots often found in places such as the legs with great care pull out the hair between the pants so we can have purchase and trim separate the pads and cut the fur in between with small scissors use a soft and tactful approach especially if this is the first time clipping this area for your dog [Music] for trimming the edge of the paws use scissors like these and trim them around the chip when removing excess fur we follow the same procedure for all four paws alternatively you can set the paws on the ground and pass the scissors over the edge to give an even rounded tip on all four paws [Music] we should be careful when passing the clippers over the dog's underbelly we should leave this area shaved short as it becomes the most stained in this case because the dog is male it is extra important to prevent a urine smell we always have to shave going in the same direction as the hair [Music] when we reach the area halfway down the belly we need to follow the natural shape of the fur we must go down this way otherwise there will be some lines which do not look aesthetically pleasing the clippers are passed over the fur until the body is finished and the rest can be done with scissors [Music] these are the three types of scissors we will use we have the curved scissors to give a shape then straight scissors for straight cuts texturizing shears to thin out the fur to reduce volume and then the last one to do the same but much faster we begin to shape the lower part of the belly this way with the curved scissors we can use the texturizing shears over all parts of the body [Music] for the back we lift the tail this way this is one of the most important areas as we need to keep it shorter to maintain better hygiene of the dog [Music] we continue with the till which we will need to have untangled with the comb since this area often gets the most knots [Music] once we untangle we cut it like this to give it shape [Music] we continue combing so that we can remove knots from their whole head [Music] now we will remove the excess hair from the eyes starting with the parts which can get tear stained [Music] now for the snout we need to hold our dogs so they don't open their mouths while we cut but also ensure we don't hurt them create a rounded shape like this this is one of the reasons why it is best to get a specialist who both knows how to handle the dog and has the right tools [Music] so [Music] after trimming we can use the texturizing shears to make everything look neat [Music] so [Music] do [Music] [Music] for the ears we continue with the texturizing shears to remove excess hair on the same air we comb to remove knots and using the straight scissors we trim them this way [Music] we need to reiterate how the dog should be as calm as possible always using positive reinforcement to ensure they are not stressed continue shaping the facial area until it looks like this [Music] do [Music] and now our standard groom is finished thanks a lot like and subscribe if you enjoyed the video and we'll see you next time
