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...

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.
