Dog Grooming Basics: Proper Use of Clippers and Scissors


The proper use of clippers and scissoring skill are the major elements in grooming.

Probably the best known quality clipper in the world is the Oster clipper. Models most used by professional groomers are the A5 and A2. The difference between them is that the A5 has detachable blades while the A2 has a detachable head. The A5 is probably used more by professional groomers because of the ease with which the blades are interchanged.

To become a serious and efficient groomer it is well to study the blade chart since a familiarity with the whole range of blades is most beneficial long term. There are 14 different blades that come in a variety of sizes, ranging from the #4 blade to the #40 blade. The different sizes in blades will leave different lengths of coat. Vets often used the #40 blade for surgical procedures. 

Snap-on combs were developed because manufacturers found it impractical to make a coarser blade than#4. The #4 blade with the widest spaced teeth leaves on more coat after clipping (5/8”) than any other blade.

The size #1 snap-on comb can be snapped onto a #10 or #15 regular blade and leave a one-inch coat. Theoretically, no scissoring need be done on the body. 

The object of the snap-on combs, when used correctly, is to reduce clipping and scissoring time of the  coat. There is a specific technique for using the snap-on comb.

Clipping technique:

The clipper should be held in a certain position when clipping the coat. When held in the correct position, the clipper is held like a pencil. The clipper should be held easily and lightly, yet firmly while clipping the coat. With the correct blade attached, the clipper can remove any coat right down to the skin, or the coat can be shaped and blended into almost any style desired.

Oster A5 and A2 clippers can provide almost a lifetime of useful service for grooming providing proper care is taken of them. Follow the maintenance instructions booklet that accompanies the clipper. If followed carefully, the clipper should provide optimum service for grooming your for many years.

Scissoring:

The most artistic aspect of grooming lies in the scissoring work. The perfecting finishing touches of your coat can only be achieved through skillfully applied scissoring. It is the scissor work, above all, which separates the real professional from the novice. If one’s objection is top-quality, professional grooming, it is essential to develop the scissoring technique to perfection.
