Instructions
Step 1
The first thing you need is a dog clipper. These are produced by Moser, Oster, Trive, Ziver, Wahl, Andis. If you plan to work with a large number of animals, give preference to rotary, rather than vibrating machines. Knife blocks for them are steel and with a ceramic knife. For haircuts of different lengths, you can purchase knives with different numbers or a set of attachments.
Step 2
The second is scissors. Basic set - regular straight lines with long blades and pointed ends and thinning. It is better to have a pair of thinning scissors - with one or two thinning blades. Expensive or cheap scissors to buy is up to the master. It depends on whether there is a good tool sharpener in the city. After all, it is easier to throw away scissors for 250 rubles and buy new ones than to ruin a tool costing 4-15 thousand with an unsuccessful sharpening.
Step 3
You need a nail clipper to keep your claws in good shape. It comes in two varieties - guillotine and tweezers. Which one to choose is a matter of habit and convenience of everyone. The main thing is not to take too small, or, on the contrary, too powerful. After clipping the nails, you can use a nail file to cut the tips.
Step 4
If you have to work with wire-haired breeds - schnauzers, terriers, then you will need a trimming knife. In general, trimming - removal of dead, ripe wool - can be done with your hands, without any tools. But the trimming knife speeds up the job.
Step 5
There should be several combs. One or two thick metal combs - for everyday basic combing. It is even possible to comb tangles with such combs. But the popular slicker brushes are good only for adding volume to an already combed coat and for combing out the undercoat. They are not suitable as the main everyday comb for a dog.
Step 6
To deal with tangles, a spray to untangle them and a collar cutter are used. The problem area is moistened with a spray, and after a few minutes the master tears the wool, first with a collar cutter, and then with a comb. Tweezers are used to keep the ears clean. With its help, hair is plucked from the auricle of the dog.
Step 7
Almost any table is suitable for grooming, as long as it is stable and the dog does not slide on it. When choosing, pay attention to the weight and size - for which breeds it is intended. A rubberized table top is mandatory and a table bracket is highly desirable to keep the dog from falling.
