Things You'll Need
- Clippers
- Blades
Instructions
Prepare a work space. Lay out the clippers, blades and anything else you may need so it will be within an arm's reach when you are shaving your dog. Set up a table or shaving area.
Secure your dog using a collar with the leash attached to an overhead support. Make sure your dog has enough room to move his head.
Shave the dog's face using a no. 10 blade. Use extreme caution. Stay at least an inch from the eyes. If necessary, wait until the dog calms down.
Shave the legs and the tail.
Switch to a blade for longer hair. Shave the dog's body, starting behind the head and working your way back to the tail. Shave the underside of the dog carefully, pulling skin taught as necessary.
