Instructions for How to Clip Dog Hair
- 1). Clip your dog's hair when it's needed. Short-haired dogs probably won't ever need to have their hair clipped, but breeds with curly or wire-haired coats will need to be clipped about once a season.
- 2). Set the dog hair clippers to the 9-10 setting. Use this setting to clip your dog's undercarriage. Undercarriage refers to your dog's armpits, crotch area up to the tail, and stomach.
- 3). Set the clippers to the 7-8 setting. Clip your dog's legs and paws with this setting.
- 4). Use a comb to pull your dog's hair away from the eye and muzzle area. Set the clippers back to the 9-10 setting and clip all around his face, ears and head.
- 5). Rinse your dog with clean water or give him a shampoo to remove all of the excess hair you clipped off. Blow drying him may be necessary if it's during the colder months of the year.
