hi, I'm glad you got some good help for Lani.
We have the WAHL clippers and Jac, I wonder if they might be easier and safer than trying to navigate the rear quarters with scissors <?> They have movable blades and for about $25 you can find them at Walmart. You could put the 1/4" attachment on them and safely get a "sanitary clip" as they say at our groomers shop.

EXACTLY!!

We take the blades to be sharpened, and then I used the BLADES (only) on our boys' heads. Whew! They didn't know!

But seriously, at the price of grooming a pair of clippers is a good thing to have on hand. You buy new ones after every grooming and STILL save money!

Jacque, you are right about the jumpy reaction to the clippers...because we started out with poodles they weren't an option tho. And one thing we discovered was REALLY helpful: if John would lay the vibrating clippers next to the skin PRIOR to clipping that area it somehow helped them or prepare our dogs for the next step, which was actually using the clippers. Does that make sense to anyone? Just letting them feel the vibration was a kind of prep for the area he was clipping to reduce the startled reaction.
