    Leg clipping

    Well, I finished them in no time :) I didnt even need to use a spray bottle, just my 4FC blade is all. I don't know why it was so much easier this time...but there is one thing that was different. The puppy was older and had been groomed twice since coming to me...so he was much calmer. Both...

    Leg clipping

    Thanks for the replies. I got 2 tips from other boards. One was to use a spray bottle and comb to help trim the leg hairs, I don't know how well that will work, but it's worth a shot.

    Clipper blade question..

    Im a bit confused by this. Do professional groomers NOT always use blade guards to get the desired length? Im under the impression that if you do not use a guard, regardless of blade size, you'll wind up with a short coat, or shave. :confused: If they do not use the guard (snap on comb), how do...
