I have simplified the dog grooming clipping techniques and you will never produce unsightly clipper work again if you follow my instructions.
Methods such as:
- Roll the skin in front of the clipper blade
- Hold the skin taught in areas where the skin is loose on the dog
- Scoop the clipper off the dog like an airplane taking off a runway

• how to use a dog grooming clipper and what type of clipper should you use?
• where to get your dog grooming clipper?
• what blades can you use and how to choose them?
• what if your dog grooming clipper does not cut the hair?
• how to unpack your clipper blade with hair and why you need to do this?
• why do metal dog clipper blades will get hot on all detachable blade clippers?
This happens because the blades are made of metal and metal is a conductor of heat. The blade moves very fast in order to cut the hair.
• how to cool the blade and continue your clipper work
(You can burn a dog's skin with a hot clipper blade)
Clipping on low speed will slow down how quickly your blades get hot.
• how much pressure should you put on the clipper?

Sadly she became ill and passed away 7 months ago. Since I have all the stuff, I have been trying to learn to groom my babies myself, your videos have helped tremendously. I've done a few sanitary cuts, and now one regular cut on my male Sealyham, all I can say is thank goodness dogs don't care what they look like, but he does have a shorter coat, and is not bleeding anywhere.

[@truthseeker3967]

Thank you for the demo. My Wahl KM 10 (corded) only came with a 10 blade, and no other blades, combs, or attachments. I was reading the comment below about 10 being the limit for shortness, and you responding about the 7, but I don't know what else to use - as the 10 is all that came with this clipper. Thanks again.

[@GoGroomer]

A 10 blade is the only blade that comes with any detachable clipper. You have to purchase the other blade sizes you prefer separately. I do not clip a dogs, body and legs with a 10 blade unless they are severely matted. It’s too short. The shortest i go is a 7 blade.. Guard combs and blades can be purchased at groomerschoice.com.

[@truthseeker3967]

@@GoGroomer It is kind of too late- I clipped her last night and this morning. For the most part I just skimmed her on the outside to not cut it too short but I have a couple of "bald spots" where my hand slipped and some longer clumps and sections, BUT AT LEAST,, she is clean, and the hair has been shortened so that it will not get so matted. I will purchase the number 7. My groomer I think used to use a 4, but I'm not sure. I just bought your clipper guide and am going to start grooming my standard poodle myself. What do you recommend- I like her a little fluffy. I don't mind doing this every 6 weeks to keep it from getting too matted. Thank you for all your input. Over the next 6 weeks, while her bald spots grow out, I'll watch your videos. Hopefully next time, I ;ll do a less awful job.

[@GoGroomer]

I wish you would have watched my videos prior to purchasing a clipper without understanding how to give a dog a hair cut. I have worked very hard on these videos to give a clear understanding of proper steps to safely groom a dog.

Every time I take my aussie doodle in to get groomed, they shave him down entirely and he's unrecognizable. I like him fluffy. He's brushed and not matted but they say his hair is too thick. What do you suggest for a longer hair dog other than scissors and are the vacuum clippers good quality? He's a larger doodle. Thank you😊

[@Godisincontrol1]

I have an Andis 5 speed and the same guards you showed. What guard no. On the body Are you using on this dog? What no. On the head? Also, how you buzz near the nipple area. I'm not going to groom my dog until I know as much as possible. I love her to much. I was going to try to go to a school in Hastings MN but I'm on SSDI and 62 and they want a LOT of money and I get that, but I can't afford to do it nor pay a groomer. I've spent a quite a bit on buzzers and guards. I'm just worried about elbows, nipples. I've groomed before with cheap buzzers and NEVER again.

[@NutritionKnows]

My shiloh shepherds are have 2 coats. I'll do your shampoos and conditioner method to help shed, but there are still mats that need to be clipped with my clippers. They get stuck on the mats. My Sr dog spends most of the day laying down. This has formed huge solid hair mats. But the clippers get stuck on the big balled mats.. idk what to do. Maybe stronger clippers? ugh....he's 12 years old and isn't loving my poking at him but he will feel so much better once they're gone.

[@AllNyteLova]

if a 7 blade is shorter than a 5, wouldn't a 30 blade be shorter than a 10? if I heard that correctly, you said that the higher the number, the shorter the clip, but then earlier you said that a 10 blade would give new meaning to a "shave down". Just wanted clarification.

[@GoGroomer]

Yes, 30 is shorter than a 10. 10 blade is to short to shave a dog is my reference.

[@theresahubble]

If you look at the part of the video where she shaves the tummy and sanitary areas, that’s how short a 10 would be. Almost no hair. A 30 would be even less hair than that, basically skin. Higher than that is for surgery prep. She was saying that a 10 is so short that it can damage the hair follicles and cause ingrown hairs, that could mean a trip to the vet. 10-30 is good for under the comb attachments though. I’m only commenting based on what was presented in the video, and very limited experience. I’ve learned a lot from this video too!

[@fluvannajosephson94]

When you were removing your comb did I spot a vacuum attachment?? Had one for our human clippers and it was great for pulling long hair up to cut and also to keep the mess down. If so where do you get one? I have an Andis UltraSpeed 2 speed clipper and would love to find something like that. Also loving your how to format and taking the time to show & explain all of the details

Hi! I read your chart on which blade sizes to use for Lhasa. But my clippers don't offer that size. It has one blade and 4 guard sizes. The guard sizes are 3, 6, 9, 12 mm. The clippers themselves have a blade with an adjustable switch that has 0.8, 1.1, 1.4, 1.7, 2.0mm. I have my lhasa short hair on body. And cleaned up on face. But I'm letting his pony tail grow, so that has never been cut. I just put a ponytail. This will be my first time grooming. He has been groomed once professionally. I have really studied your videos. And I'm sure I can do it. It's just the blade and guards I'm not too sure of.

[@meiyuuuu]

Hi Amy, it's MARI 😊💛, I have to say that I have groomed dogs with the 10 blade Andis, which is 1.5 mm, but I always tell the costumers it's the limit of shortness and that they will have to warm their dog if with a sweater it gets cold. I have used it when the dog comes in a terrible status and you can't even brush them. Now I feel a little guilty 🥺, but sometimes the owners really ask for it, and by now my dog clients haven't had any issues. But as you say, I use the most the 7FC in my case, but now that it's summer here (Chile 🇨🇱) I've been asked a lot for shorter haircut, and I'm using the 10W Wahl (1.8mm). I'd like to know what do you think about what I'm telling you. You help me a lot and I know you always say the truth. 😊💛🇨🇱

[@GoGroomer]

I really appreciate your honesty and you are letting your clients tell you how to perform your job. You are the professional and should advise them that a 7F blade is the safer choice for a short trim. It’s still short but will not damage the hair follicle which could result in blocked follicles that will require a trip to the vet. Therefore you are saving them money and looking out for the best interest of their pet 💕

Pup looks Beautiful ❤️ I have a question though I remeber you saying 7 blade was in your opinion too short to clip a dog. What is the situation that calls for 7 on the body?

Should I use clippers on a poms coat or just scissors?

[@GoGroomer]

Blending shears.

@@GoGroomer thanks! I don’t want to ruin his massive thick coat.

Oh gosh. I think I bought a dud. I have to shave a 4” x 4” sq to apply a sensor to my diabetic Aussie in the morning. I tried tonight and I have no clue how to work the new clippers. Ugh! I use scissors and even tried to use my Gillette razor. Nope. I didn’t want to hurt him.
