Dog clipper: what to choose for caring for your pet?

For many dogs and cats, grooming is not just a fashionable procedure, needed only to emphasize the status of the owner, but a necessity. Animals of decorative breeds, which, for the most part, have hair that is not the easiest to care for, especially need haircuts. Yorkshire Terrier, Poodle, Lapdog, Biewer York, West Highland White Terrier and many other dogs without proper care not only look unkempt, but can also experience serious discomfort, because the longer the coat, the more dirt and insects it can collect and the more difficult it is to wash the animal after walks. Grooming is no less important for long-haired cats. Special grooming machines are best suited for grooming animals.

Types of Yorkshire Terrier haircuts

Some haircuts are suitable for serious exhibitions, while others are only suitable for making the dog look especially cute and funny. In addition, they differ in difficulty class. Some can only be done by a true professional, while others can be easily handled by a novice master who has picked up scissors for the first time. You should talk about both the first and the second.

Model haircuts

This category includes haircuts that allow you to change the appearance of your pet beyond recognition. Perfect for both boys and girls. However, you should immediately warn that model haircuts are performed only for domestic dogs - they may well be disqualified at exhibitions.

The pet looks gorgeous

The point of all model haircuts is to imitate other breeds or visually rejuvenate the pet. The most popular of them:

Hygienic and standard haircut

Hygiene procedures should be carried out at least twice a month. In this case, it will be easy to maintain the ideal appearance of your pet. If you spend less time cutting your hair, problems may arise.

In fact, this is not even a haircut, but simply a set of care procedures. First of all, the wool is carefully combed out, and tangles are sorted out and only in extreme cases are cut off. Nails are trimmed and hair throughout the body is neatly trimmed. In addition, if necessary, the hair in the armpits, between the toes and near the anus is trimmed. Sometimes hair is removed from the ears to make them look velvety and sophisticated rather than shaggy.

Unusual haircuts of Yorkshire terriers

There are many ways to trim your Yorkie. And among them there are quite non-standard ones, however, they often require a significant investment of time and effort. So at home it will take half a day to get a proper haircut, but when visiting a salon you will have to shell out a considerable amount. But still, there are some options worth learning about:

However, if you start cutting hair at home with your own hands, you can be completely creative, creating the most unusual and original haircuts and styling. Fortunately, Yorkshire Terriers' fur grows back very quickly.

Step-by-step instruction

To understand how to trim a domestic poodle, you must first read the appropriate instructions. If you do everything correctly, then in your own home you can give your dog a haircut that is in no way inferior to a professional one. Although the first time it may not come out very neatly. But constant practice will allow you to hone your movements and next time your hairstyle will definitely turn out perfect.

To work you will need the following tools:

• hair dryer, shampoo and towel, as well as cotton swabs;
• scissors;
• nail clippers;
• hair clipper;
• brush and metal comb.

During grooming, a puppy or an adult dog should stand still. This is the main condition for the formation of a high-quality hairstyle. It is best to secure your pet with a leash or a special collar.

First, the animal should be bathed and dried. After this, carefully comb his fur with a brush and a metal comb so that all tangles are broken. Now you can proceed directly to cutting.

Head and neck

The ears are folded back, and the muzzle is taken in the hands. The movements of the machine are performed from the base of the auricle and go along the cheek to the nose. The hand should move firmly. The fur is neatly trimmed around the eyes. Next, we lift the dog’s head up and cut the hair from the neck. You can leave some long hairs on your chin.

Paws

The paw is taken in the hand so that the thumb is on top. The hairs are cut with a clipper along the entire length of the limb. The fur between the toes is removed with a machine, and it can be trimmed with scissors.

Tail

On the tail, movements with the machine are made from the base to the end. A pompom is formed at the tip. Next, the hair is removed from the opposite side of the tail (it rises). The area between the hind legs is also treated.

Stomach

Raise the dog's front paws and move the clipper, starting from the navel and ending on the paws, reaching the thick fur. The wool is removed according to the chosen hairstyle pattern.

A proper haircut for any type of poodle will not only give the animal a beautiful and neat look, but also save on the services of a professional hairdresser.

Types and frequency of haircuts

As mentioned earlier, primary grooming is carried out by the breeder - trimming the claws, hair in the groin area and ears. By the way, when purchasing, you will have to learn how to cut a Yorkie's ears. Your baby's ears will fully rise by 4 months, but are likely to fall back during the teething period. Your task is to shorten the hair on the puppy’s ears, and, if necessary, glue the cartilage.

Yorkshire terriers do not tolerate heat and cold well due to the lack of undercoat, so in winter the pet will need warm clothes and a short haircut in summer. In spring and autumn, for the sake of variety, you can cut your dog’s hair like a dragon or a lion, but this is already considered art or “pampering”. “Canine body art” is not recommended for show pets as there is a risk of damage to the coat. In the classical sense, all types of Yorkshire Terrier haircuts should emphasize the proportions of the body and protect the coat. In the price list of any grooming salon you will find the following types of services:

Owners who do not participate in exhibitions have greater potential for transforming their pets. You can invent a haircut yourself, choose one of the popular designs, or use the Internet to find a new look. Among model haircuts, the following are considered popular:

Types of cars

A novice dog breeder who has decided to master grooming a pet on his own is intimidated by the abundance of models of clippers presented on the Russian market. Types of trimmers are divided:

According to the method of operation and power supply of the machine

According to the method of operation and the principle of powering the engine, trimmers are divided into:

By engine type

Electric cars have different motors, depending on which they got their name:

By power

The power of the machine is an important indicator. Different power is needed for different types of fur (the coarser, the more powerful the device is needed) and the time of working with the animal (if you need to trim a large surface area or trim many dogs):

The power of the machine is also determined by the number of revolutions of the knives; the higher this number, the more powerful the trimmer. The minimum speed is 2400 rpm, the average is 3500 - 45000 rpm, and the maximum is over 6000 rpm.

By weight and body material

To groom an animal, a person has to hold the clipper suspended all the time. Therefore, manufacturers have to look for a middle ground between weight and strength. According to materials, trimmers are distinguished from:

By weight, the following dimensions are often found:

According to knife material

The development of industry has helped to find the best options for knives for grooming animals, which are distinguished by durability, duration of blade sharpening and coating to prevent overheating. On sale you can find machines with knives:

Also, the ceramic, titanium and diamond coating prevents the knife from overheating so that the blade does not burn the skin of the animal.

By number of nozzles

Many trimmers come complete with several attachments (the most common sizes are 3, 6, 9, 12 mm), but they also sell individual attachments and entire professional sets. With their help, you can cut fur lengths from 0.05 mm to 32 mm.

For professional purposes, more attachments are used. Groomers also select the best cutting options using knives and removable attachments. But the number of really necessary additional stages is less than what the manufacturers offer.

By manufacturer popularity

Among the most popular and well-known brands of dog clippers are:

Moser became the founders of such technology, and in particular, the famous knives. The German manufacturer has earned an impeccable reputation, which even more technologically advanced brands still cannot challenge.

Aesculap knives are synonymous with “omnivorous”, they take any wool and are very durable, practically “indestructible”. The Korean brand Codos is famous for its delicacy of haircuts; their clippers cannot harm even the thinnest skin of puppies and cats.

Criterias of choice

Buying a dog or cat clipper is a responsible matter. Not only do you need to invest money (from a conventional 1,000 rubles for a mechanical model to 20,000 rubles and more for a professional device), but the appearance, health and mood of your pet are also at stake.

First of all, you need to select a trimmer strictly according to your goals, coat type, breed size and character of the animal. Secondly, look at the dimensions, ease of use, reliability of the brand and availability of service. It is clear that owners need to buy different clippers for Yorkies and Airedale terriers, Shih Tzus and black terriers, poodles and Afghan hounds for independent grooming.

In professional salons, to work with animals of such different fur parameters and sizes, they use special trimmers and many additional removable knives and attachments. To cut one breed at home, there is no need for all these difficulties. It’s easier to initially choose a machine suitable for a specific task.

How to properly comb a poodle

To comb, you need to select tools; the procedure requires:

• brushes with soft bristles. Poodles should not be scratched with a comb with white balls on the tips. This type tears the fur, causing pain in the dog;
• metal comb with blunt and rounded teeth. To check the safety, just run it over your hand: if scratches appear, then it is better to choose another option. The length of the teeth and the size of the comb depend on the variety of poodle and its size;
• spray or oil to untangle tangled strands. The final step is to go over the entire coat again with a long-toothed comb.

Note! Combing is carried out on the table, first the neck is treated, gradually moving to the stomach. All movements should be smooth, carried out against the growth of the fur from the very roots.

Manipulations are required weekly; if a tangle is detected, it is removed with a comb or hands.

Professionals do not recommend getting carried away with self-care. Improper machine cutting can cause disturbances in the structure of the coat and increase its susceptibility to moisture. The problem with the changes is the appearance of bald patches and the development of dermatological diseases. A neatly groomed poodle is the pride of the owners and part of the victory at the exhibition.

At what age can a Yorkie be cut?

First, you should find out when you can cut your Yorkie's hair for the first time. Experts believe that a puppy should first visit an expert at the age of 6-8 months. But there are several features here.

On the one hand, the sooner your Yorkie starts going to the hairdresser, the easier it will get used to the difficult procedure, which means the likelihood of conflict will decrease. On the other hand, not every puppy will be able to withstand an hour or two, standing almost motionless, and that is how long the haircut lasts. Therefore, it is quite difficult to say unequivocally at what age a Yorkie’s first haircut can be performed - this largely depends on the character and temperament of the dog.

Haircut needs

Depending on the breed, the requirements of the standard and the wishes of the owner, there are different types of dog grooming:

For infrequent clipping of individual places (ears, on the face, on the paws, under the tail, etc.), a mechanical (if the dog is nervous) or a vibrating clipper (if the animal is not afraid of noise) is suitable.

For a full cut, for large dogs, for breeds with coarse and curly hair, or to meet the standard at shows, it is better to buy a rotary machine. If the dog is small and is not afraid of grooming, then you can use a pendulum one, but only from Moser.

What is necessary

For home processing, you will need to prepare a place. Any stable horizontal surface (such as a table) will do.

Haircut is at the discretion of the owner

The main thing is that it is comfortable for the dog and the “hairdresser”. It is advisable to lay a rubberized mat on top. This will help the animal feel confident and not slip. It is important to ensure sufficient lighting levels. The following tools are prepared in advance:

• hair trimmer;
• scissors with well-sharpened blades (will help you style your hair at the final stage);
• comb, brush with hard bristles (it is better to purchase metal tools rather than plastic ones);
• tangle cutter (a special device for cutting out tangled lumps);
• nail clipper

Note! The entire set is prepared in advance so that it is “at hand”. It is not recommended to interrupt the procedure.

The dog looks well-groomed and presentable after a haircut

Dog coat type

We can conditionally divide breeds according to wool type into 3 conditional groups:

For the first two groups, vibration and pendulum models are suitable if the animals react normally to noise and allow their hair to be cut. If the haircut needs to be done quickly, if the dog is nervous and behaves aggressively, then only rotary ones, preferably with batteries, so that the cord does not get tangled.

For the third group, rotary motors are ideal; if there are a lot of pets at home, then it is better to consider professional equipment. Special trimmers for groomers have more comfort in operation: convenient weight, long or rotating cord, replaceable batteries, cooling systems, attachments.

Variety

Power

The softer the fur, the smaller the dog or the volume of work, the less power of the device and the number of revolutions of the knives are needed.

For shy, capricious dogs, for a large volume of work with a long operating time of the machine, you need to take models with expensive knives (titanium, ceramic, stainless steel) so that they do not burn the skin when heated. For show breeds and professional grooming, it is better to have several sizes of knives (1, 3, 6, 9 and 13 mm).

Nozzles

As a rule, the 4 attachments included in the set are enough. You can explore breed forums where there are tips on attachments for specific breeds. Plastic attachments are short-lived, require careful combing of the fur, and the teeth bend over time.

Housing material

The material affects the durability of the machine (so that the body does not break when dropped). Models made of good plastic are suitable for home use. It is advisable to find a model with a rubberized body so that it does not slip in your hand. If you really want a metal body, then you should remember the weight of the trimmer; your hand can get very tired from being unaccustomed to it.

Dimensions of the machine

The lighter the weight, the easier it is for the non-groomer to cut his dog's hair. If you cut your hair once every six months, then the weight of the machine is not so critical, but frequent cutting requires a different approach. Be sure to hold the trimmer in your hand to see how it fits and whether the grip is comfortable. Professionals choose something in between in terms of performance and weight, where the lack of vibration is more important.

Manufacturer

There are famous brands that have been proven for decades, there are new products, and there are also trimmers from Aliexpress. Whatever you choose, carefully read the reviews first. Pet owners are very active in discussing their purchases; you can easily find a lot of information on breed forums or grooming forums. Moser, Wahl and Andis will definitely not let you down. But the model must be selected taking into account the nuances.

Additional criteria

Pay attention to the length of the cord if you plan to work from the mains; there are models with a more durable rotating cord that will not break at the base after a year.

If the model has a battery, immediately buy a replacement one so as not to be left without a clipper in the middle of a haircut. Better yet, find a hybrid model. Models with a display or indication of the battery charge level are convenient.

Pay attention to the possibility of re-sharpening knives, the presence of a service center nearby, etc.

Reviews

Anastasia: “The machine lies comfortably in the hand, which allows it to work for a long time. Almost no noise. The dog sits quietly, although she is a little coward. It was packed well, in several layers of bubble wrap. The only drawback is that there is no oil in the kit, but this does not affect the operation of the machine itself.”

Aids

The key to a successful haircut is not only your careful actions, but also the availability of special care products.

When bathing your animal, be sure to pay attention to the shampoos and conditioners you use. Lack of lathering and smoothing products will leave your dog's coat unkempt. The shampoo should be strengthening and, if possible, healing. But the conditioner should be aimed at making hair easy to comb, smooth and shiny.

Buy only professional products for grooming and grooming your dog's coat.

Remember that dog care products must be professional and designed specifically for this type of animal, and even better, specifically for Yorkies.

When cutting your hair, you also need to pay attention to special products. Stock up on a spray that will make your hair smooth and easy to comb. There are special grooming sprays that give hair shine and a well-groomed appearance.

There are special fluids on the market that are applied to the ends of the hair. They counteract split ends and fill the hair with life-giving moisture. You should have several care products in your arsenal. Only in this case will the animal look neat and well-groomed.

Accessories for the Yorkshire Terrier

Don't forget about accessories. Rubber bands, hairpins, and rivets must be intended specifically for animals, not to tear hair, and not cause traumatic effects. Taking care of your Yorkie turns into an exciting game. You are your own designer who creates incredible hairstyles on your pet. Turn this procedure into a fun process not only for yourself, but also for your dog. And then a haircut will become a real pleasure for you and a reason to give free rein to your imagination.

Basic Rules

If you decide to trim your pet at home, then you need to know the basic rules so that your poodle is trimmed neatly and so as not to harm the animal.

So, the basic rules for cutting a poodle:

1. Before you start cutting, decide on its shape. When starting the procedure, you must know what needs to be done and in what order.
2. Before the procedure, be sure to bathe your dog and dry its fur. It is highly not recommended to cut your dog's hair if its coat is dirty or wet.
3. After bathing, it is advisable to treat the coat with a balm appropriate to the type of coat for easier combing.
4. If your pet does not want to get a haircut, snaps or bites, postpone the procedure for several days.
5. The dog is groomed in a standing position.
6. Any haircut always starts from the back, gradually moving down.
7. The dog's face and belly should be trimmed extremely carefully, as the skin in these areas is especially delicate.
8. Particular attention should be paid to the hair between the toes, as matted clumps can cause pain to the dog. Whenever you groom, be sure to trim the hair between your toes.
9. The dog should not be turned during the procedure. You will have to walk around it yourself.
10. During processing, the clipper and scissors should move parallel to the cutting area and follow the anatomical contours of the dog.
11. The haircut should always be done in the direction of hair growth, with the exception of the front paws, here the hair is cut against the growth.
12. If you are planning a short haircut, then you should not remove all the hair at once, do it in stages so as not to injure your pet.
13. The pet's belly and paws must be treated, regardless of the hairstyle.
