Instructions
Hold each paw and brush the hair out with a wire bristle brush. This makes the hair stick out and allows for an even cut.
Cut the hair round the paws with thinning sheers. Trim the hair close to the paw. Stop when you can see the foot pads and hair no longer flows over the foot onto the ground.
Trim away any overhanging areas with a pair of grooming sheers.
Brush the hair on the dog's ankle straight out for an even cut. Trim the ankle area until no hair is touching the floor. Use the thinning sheers first and then even out the area with the grooming sheers.
Trim ears so no hair gets inside the ear cavity. Too much hair inside the ear can cause an infection.
Brush the rest of the Papillon's coat and cut to a desired length with the trimming sheers.
