I am so thankful that the kit included a disc on how to give my poodle and shih-poo the "pet trim" as well as how to use and care for the items in the kit. I was expecting a razor and the combs but was happy to find that the kit also had a scissors and 2 combs in it (and the disc). All I needed to do after was watch the videos until I felt comfortable enough to try and do it.
It helps to have assistants - and I had 4 taking turns. 1 helped me bathe the 2 puppies and dry them. 1 to help hold the pets as we did the trim. Hubby had to help me hold the muzzle since I was so worried about nicking the sensitive areas I couldn't hold properly.
Both were okay with the trimming of most of their fur. Both did not like having their paws done. I was too scared of nicking the webbing to really get the paws clean. I'll have to practice more and build up to that. I also wanted to make sure that Ensign didn't get scared because it is his very first trim. A cooperative dog makes the entire experience easier for both me and them, that's for sure.
Feedback: Great kit! Really easy to use and the video is spot on.
All that's left to do is practice and get really good and comfortable at it.
