To begin, decide on the desired cut length and select the appropriate clipper blade. It is important to note that the blade should be sharp, as this will help produce a smooth finish. Next, brush the coat to remove tangles and use a long-toothed comb to separate large sections. Start by clipping the dog's entire body, then blend the sections using small clipper motions. Regularly lift the clipper blade off the skin as you clip, and rinse the blade in warm water to avoid clogged blades. Finally, use scissors to blend the hairs around the face and feet.
