I use something like this  wahl clicky on ME 

I shop fitted a Barber's a few years back and have free cuts for life ,but it's a 30 mile round trip and a faf ,so I just whizz it off when needed with a set like the link, the combs space the length out ,so choose the correct one and you won't end up with a bald dog 

the cat is happy to sit on my knee and be combed ,nails/claws cut,etc 
 take the cat to the vet and it turns psycho 
I think it's just comfortable with me and don't like strangers

You don't find out they're shit until it's too late, though. I reckon a decent pair of clippers, with combs, and a set of scissors will cost me about £150. I'll have saved that after five grooms.

As you have said "how hard can it be".......just don't let your mutt look in a mirror for a couple of weeks after you have sheared it.

I wasn't going to use a cheap one like that on my dog!

Spend as much as you like Uncle Stemo 
but the more expensive cordless ones I tried where crap
the corded Wahl ones will cope with "Beaver hair" , so dog hair won't be an issue

Be careful around it's nether regions.......

You pay a wannabe hairdresser actual moany to cut your dogs hair ? ! 
The very definition of more money than sense. 

[scimmy_man]

years back we sent our spaniel for clipping,
he came back with feathers and with long ears,
exactly the things we wanted rid of,

bought a set of Walle clippers and do all the dogs once or twice a year,
learn how to clean the clippers its the secret to them cutting,
also make sure the guard wont slip off half way or you scalp the dog

Is that Wahl?

yep

Yes, lots of moany

Im tired, leave me alone. 

Anyway - dogs. You let them out in the morning to bite the postman & local kids, shit in neighbours gardens and chase cars, because apparently they think that's fun.
Let them back in the house before you go to bed and chuck some of your leftover dinner in their bowl.
Don't see why it needs to be more involved than that.

Glad i ain,t got one.

Glad i ain,t got one.

I feel that way about kids, but plenty of people still pop out those noisy poop & vomit factories  I'd rather have a dog any day ..


.. unless I had to express its anal glands I'll leave that for Uncle STEMO.

It's my speciality, don't you know? 
I did Gixers on a regular basis. 

[Sir Tigger KC]

So as a non dog or Gixer owner..... 

Can someone explain (briefly) what this expressing of anal glands is all about please?

Mr Google will explain, if you ask him nicely.
